Philadelphia, March 2S.-Twenty-two
Of the twenty-four sailors. cooks and
officers left on board the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich and the Kronprinz Wilhelm,
the informed German raiders at League
Island, were loaded on board cars in
Broad Street station tonight and start
ed for Fort 0glethorpe, Georgia.
Secrecy surrounded the movement
but it is believed to have followed the
discovery that both the ships have been
rendered useless through tampering
with their machinery.
For days before the main body of
Germans was moved away the sound OF
hsmmering on the ships was heard
the Germans employing a band concert
to drown the sounds. As their trains
for the South left the navy yard the
German sailors on Monday yelled from
the car windows that the United States
would "hsve hell Of a time using
those ships"
Marines who had guarded them said
that they had been told that the twelve
men left on each ship had been sworn

Success of Vienna Loan
Displeases Government

Berne, March 81 (via Paris, March
2S).-Persons arriving here from vi
emma report that the Austrian govern
ment. instead Of being pleased at the
result Of the recently concluded Vienna
municipal loan 900 100000 crowns
were subscribed, instead Of the $780,
100000 asked-was unpleasantly sur
prised to learn that such plethora of
money existed. although it did not make
its appearance on the occasion of the
last war loan.
The authorities are displeased, these
persons say, that the representative
men Of Vienna have shown so little
confidence in national loans as TO ig-
more chances to invest in them, but
embraced the opportunity to lend to the
city. thereby at least inferentially dis
crediting the value Of national securi-
ties Il is reported that an investiga-
tion will be made.

L. s. to Cooperate
All of the medical branches OF the
United States government are cooper

way Of promptly spreading the knowl-
edge Of DR.. Carols work through the
Medical Department of the army.
The new hospital will look not only
TO war for its field Of usefulness, but
will also seek TO serve this country IN
times Of peace as well. Most OF the
earlier patients. at least, it is believed
will be civilians VINO have suffered IN

war broke out, and Immediately began
service in the French Medical Corps, IN

The distinctive feature of the Carrel-

caustic effects This chemical com

u. S. Studying
Allies Mistakes
AT Start Of War
Secrets Barred to Help Unpre-
pared America Avoid
Similar Blunders
By FLOYD p. GIBBONS

London. March 2S.-Perhaps the
greatest indication that the realization
of the unpreparedness Of the United
States has been brought home to the
Wilson Administration developed here
to-day, when il became known that Tor
the last two months the American
State. War. Navy. Treasury. AgricuIt-
ure and Labor departments have been
in intimate touch with the correspond
ing departments of the Allied nations.
Washington to-day has all secret IN
formation concerning the pred.cament
that the British and Allies found them
selves in at the opening Of the war.
Washington now knows what unprepar..
edness cost the Allies at the hands OF
the highly organized and superprepared
Teuton. Washington now knows no"
the Allies organized their arms and re-
sources at the last moment, and how
Tho armies were recruited, how the
finances we're arranged. how the indus
.ries were socialized into a national
cause. how the tremendous problems OF
mobilizing equipment, transportation,
training and munitioning of the army
and navy of the air and the subsca
forces were solved.
To do this Great Britain and her
allies have barred their wounds to their
sister democracy across the seas. and
the United states diplomatic service
has for the last two months been exam
ing these wounds. studying the defects
that existed in the Allied governments
before the war and making notes on
remedies and improvements and correc-
tons that the three years Of war have
brought; in other words. taking full
and free advantage Of the wonderful
opportunity to learn with ut loss of a
single man or the expenditure Of a sim
gle dollar the lessons which England.
France. Russia and other allies have
paid for in blood and billions.

The only Cunard liner known 10 have

have arrived two days ago, but is be-
