 FROM U. s. MARSHAL

 Here for Extradition to England.
England.

New York, Jan. 19-Ignatius T. T. Lincoln, a former member of tho British Parliament and self-con- fessed German spy, and who was be- ing held here pending extradition to England, escaped from a United States deputy marshal last Saturday, it was learned yesterday and has not been seen since.
 It was stated at the jail that Lln- colns escape had not been reported to the United States marshal until yesterday.
 James M. Power, United States marshal in Brooklyn, said that the prisoner had been at tho federal building to confer with his counsel, that Deputy Johnson had failed to report Lincolns disappearance until Monday, two days after it occurred and for this reason Johnson had been suspended pending an investigation.
 On behalf of Johnson it was said that he feared to report the escape of Lincoln and undertook an inde- pendent search for the man from Sat- urday afternoon at 4 o'clock until Monday morning.
 Lincoln was arrested here several months ago on charges preferred by the British consulate. A few days previous to his arrest Lincoln had written and published story in which he confessed to having been 2 spy for the German intelligence Of flee after he had become a naturaliz- ed Englishman. Lincoln was born In Hungary.

 Educates Daughters.
 Besides pensions to crippled mem- bers, the Legion of Honor educates the daughters of it's legionaries in three different institutions the orig inal of which was established at ECOun in 1895. The second was or ganized in the ancient abbey at Saint Denis in 1909 and became the sorin- cipal institution. Others were found ed in 1910, but three only survived, Saint Denis, Ecoun and des Loges.

BRITISH HIT BACK
 IN BARALONG CASE
Express Surprise Germany Terms
 Her Methods of Warfare Humane

London, Jan. 19.-The British off, ciaI view on the German note regard -@lng the Baralong case, as given out last night, follows:
 The German claim that their army and navy have observed during the present war the principles of inter- national law and humanity, and that the German authorities take care that all violations will be carefully investi- gated and published.
 Some Surprise Expressed. ~$ Some surprise is expressed that the nation whose forces have been re- sponsible for the sack of Louvain, the murder of hundreds of unoffending men, women and children on the Iusitania, the execution of Edith Cavell, the introduction of poisonous gases, the poisoning of wells, at tempted torpedoing of hospital ships and countless other atrocities should describe their methods of warfare as humane. ...., -s---
 ''It is further pointed out that it would be interesting to know how many German subjects, if any, have been punished for these atrocities The Germans claim that the Arabic was torpedoed because the com .mander of the submarine had the con- victlon that the Arabic was about to ram the submarine. The true facts arc that the Arabic was deliberately sunk by a German submarine without warning and that she neither at- tempted to attack the submarine nor escape from 1t.
 British Submarine Els.
 with regard to the destruction of the British submarine E-13 in Danish waters by a German torpedo boat de- g!royer, it is claimed that it. came to B fight between the war vessels and that the submarine defended itself with gunfire. The true facts are as follows: The Germans found the sub marine stranded in neutral waters and incapable of either offense or defense. The German destroyer fired a torpedo Rt the E-13. The torpedo exploded close to her. At the same moment the German destroyer fired with all her guns, and the commander of the E-13, whose submarine was afire fore and aft, and who was unable to de- eend himself owing to being aground, gave orders to the crew to abandon her. While the men were in the water, they were fired on by machine  guns and with shrapnel
 The Germans defend their action In the case of the Ruel on the ground that 1t was a measure of reprisal in accordance with measures announced by the German government in Febru- nry, 1915. It is claimed that these reprisals are legitimate owing to the action of Great Britain in attempting To cut off from Germany all imports and starve the German people. z The Germans thus maintain their sub marine policy in consequence of the British measures against German trade. .--#-
 Recalls Frye Case.
 ''This is, of course, quite untrue The exact opposite being the case. As far back as December, 1914, Admiral Von Tirpitz foreshadowed the sub- marine blockade of Great Britain and submarine attacks were made on. a merchant ship and a hospital ship on Jan n o1 E-oh
