SAYS BRITISH SHIPS
FLAG OF U. S.
German Admiralty Reports
Destruction Of Submarine by
Masquerading Patrol Boat.
SURVIVORS "lLL TREATED"

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. November 4. by wireless to
the Associated Press, via Sayville. N.
Y.-The German admiralty has fur
nished to the Associated Press corre-
spondent the details of what is char
acterized as a second Baralong case, in
which a British patrol ship. flying
American colors, it is declared, after
destroying submarine U-41, deliberate
ly ran down a rowboat with the only
two survivors of the undersea boat in
an endeavor to remove the only wit
nesses and has since prevented the in
tended victims, who were almost mi
raculously saved, from communicating
the news to their own government.
The incident, according to the admi-
ralty, occurred on September "a. 1915,
and has only just been learned OF
through an invalid prisoner transferred
to Switzerland. The submarine, &C
cording to the admiralty account. had
halted in the neighborhood of the
Scilly Isles for examination a steamer
under the American flag, apparently an
innocent merchantmen.

American Flag Kept Flying.

The steamer ostensibly prepared to
lower boat. but when the submarine
had approached to within 300 yards
the supposed merchantmen suddenly
opened concealed ports and began fir
ing from two cannon and also with
rifles. the American flag flying the
whole time, the account continues.
The submarine, irreparably damaged.
went under, but was able to come to
the surface later for an instant, Lieut.
Crompton. severely wounded. and Petty
officer Godau managing to crawl out
through an open hatch before the sub
marine sank forever.
The sole survivors ultimately man.
aged to swim to an empty boat. The
steamer observing this, according to
the admiralty details. headed full
speed for the boat. not to save. but to
ram 1t. placing lookout in the steam
er's bow to facilitate accurate steering.
The Germans at the last moment
sprang from the boat and clung to the
wreckage of it for a half hour, when
the steamer finally picked them UP.

Railroad Strikes to Come Up.

One Of the really big things the Presi-
dent has promised to take up with Con-
gress is that of railroad strikes. While
the threatened railroad strike was re-
Gently pending the President asked Con-
gress to put through Legislation that
would prevent strikes or lockouts until
a thorough investigation had been male
for the pablfc's Information. He has
promised to urge this and other legisia-
ton regarding industrial conditions at
the coming session.
AS to trust laws Mr.. Wilson told the
business world that 1t had obtained free
dom from further legislation when the
Clayton antitrust law went through.
The democrats are satisfied with the
federal reserve act and will make few
amendments to :he present laws. 1t is
said. Mr.. Hughes would make many. II
he came in.
So far as the District OF Columbia goes
the President will have no recommenda-
tions to make It is said. He has not
included the District In his legislative
program at any time during his admin
istration- He has left the handling of
District affairs to the District comm.s-
ssoners and has done nothing personally
TO interfere with the imposition upon the
District Of any sort of law congress
man with personal vagaries as to the
District could get through. He has
vetoed none of the Objectionable legisla-
tion that has passed. He has taken the
position that lie did not understand Dis
trict affairs well enough TO place his
judgment against that of Congress.

Detained in England.


British surgeon later proposed to
transfer the wounded officer, as totally
invalided, to Switzerland, and a Swiss
commission of surgeons twice voted
that he be thus sent; but the British
surgeon general, it is declared, vetoed
the plan, and the officer was retained
in England.
The admiralty declares that this was
evidently due to a guilty conscience on
the part of the British, who wished to
prevent the news from being made
known. Lieut.. Crompton repeatedly at
tempted to send his report through the
American embassy in London. it is as
serted. but no report from him reached
Germany.
newspaper reports of some time ago
that the British government, having
been forced by German retaliatory
measures to abandon drastic treatment
of captiyes from submarines, had given
orders to take no submarine prisoners,
but to send them to the bottom with
their Vessels, declared to the corre-
spondent that this case, with that of the
Baralong, should be considered as fur
nishing all necessary proof that the
undenied story regarding the govern
ment order was true.
The submarine C41 was commanded
by Lieut. Commander Hansen, account
ed one of the bravest and best of Ger
man submarine officers.

The postal servica is making extern
sive and effective preparations 70
handle the large volume OF mail, espe-
cially parcel post, expected during
tho coming Christmas holidays. Ad-
ditionnl clerks and facilities w,ll be
provided in order to prevent any con-
gestion and resultant delay and dam
age to mail. The general public can
materially assist the pOstof{lce de-
psrtnient In discharging its duty by
mailing their Christmas packages as
early Us practicable, which will insure
their safe handling and prompt deliv-
sry. Such action will also rebound to
the general benefit Of the public.
Parcels may bear tho words ''Not
to be opened until Christmas" or
similar inscription, and this, together
with early shipment, insures the
timeliness of Christmas gifts, whereas
the practice of mailing packages late
in tho hope that they will reach their
destination on Christmas day Is likely
tn defeat its own object through un-
