GERMAN VESSELS
PREY Of BRITONS
SIXTEEN SHIPS SUNK, CAPTURED
OR WRECKED IN ATTEMPT
TO RUN BLOCKADE.
First Effective Blow British Navy Has
Dealt German Blockade Running
System In Three Years Made
Possible by Americans.

I.ondon.-A fleet of seventeen small
German vessels ventured forth from
Rotterdam in an attempt to run the
British blockade. Three of them left
Saturday, the other fourteen Monday.
A powerful British mosquito" flotilla
lay In wait for them in the North sea.
This is what happened to the Teuton
ships: Four sunk, four captured,
four stranded, two wrecked, two fled
back, badly damaged by gun FIRE; total,
10. One fled back and reached shore
unframed.
It was the first effective blow the
British navy has dealt TO the German
blockade-runnlng system In three
years of warfare. 1t was made pos
sible by the presence In British wa
tiers of American destroyers, which
enabled the British to detail large
part Of their mosquito craft to watch
the crafty little Teuton smugglers.
The British admiralty, in state
ment Tuesday, accounted only for six
of the German ships, saying four were
captured and two driven back to the
Dutch shore, riddled by gunfire.
From Ymulden came unofficial news
OF the fate of the other blockade run
ners.
The German ships paid no attention
to the stop signals of the British de-
stroyers. They simply turned around
and started a wild race for the shore
whence they came. But the British
dstroyers were too swift for them and
the gunfire too effective. The crews
Of two OF the vessels captured "es

While no details are given, this sug
gests the dramatic picture of fully
score Of sailors jumping overheard
and swimming for their lives-witi
what result no one knows. The frus

he removal OF All 1ufLler dan
ger to lands not adjoining but
close to the river.
''The removal of the Oppressive
influence on farm land prices that
is exercised ON all acreage in the
Missouri river bottoms by even
the remote possibility of invasion
by the stream.
The opening of the river to navi-
cation by installing suitable locks
at the dams, thus giving lower
freight rates, adding several cents
a bushel to the price of grain and
reducing the cost of coal in the
Missouri valley.
The providing of unlimited wa
ter power to generate electricity
for cities and factories.
The impounding of ,yatefs that
could be used in some sections for
irrigation purposes.
At the end of the year the War
department will be organized on
scale to attempt this huge under
taking, it is argued. The work
would have tostart as far upstream
as erosion occurred and be continu-
ed nearly as far south as Omaha.
The value of the dams, once built,
would exceed that of the Panama
canal to the Middle West, accord
ing to the farmers who support it.
The loss to South Dakota by the
rivers cutting this year has been
many thousands. The so-called
June rise was delayed until July.
AS usual, the greater damage was
,, done during the period of slow
recession, and the full loss is not
vet determinable. Hundreds of
acres daily went into the stream
and were carried south or deposit
ed on the Nebraska side during the
stage OF greatest activity. At
some places, where the affected
lowlands were especially rich, the
cutting process went inland at the
rate Of four rods a day. Where
formerly farmers cultivated grain
there is now only boiling and mud
dy waters.
In the Vermillion region the
farmhouses of several residents
were endangered, and it was ne
cessary to summon a houae moving
apparatus from Sioux City to
transport the house of Martin
Erickson to safety. A great deal
of the soil between Erickson's
house and the river was eaten
away. Julius Charrlin, who last
year moved his buildings back
from the river a mile, was forced
to make preparations for repeating
the maneuver in case the rivers
appetite was not overcome. While
farmers worried, many sight seers
visited the scenes of cutting to see
great chunks of rich South Dakota
soil plunge every few minutes into
the river and vanish.
Near Yankton farm of 14O
acres was lost by A. p. johnson.
Wedmore island, once of con-
siderable size, has been reduced to
a mere strip and the timber on it
has disappeared. Government
dykes erected in this region have
been absorbed by the river in its
advance.
Fear that the Missouri eventu-
ally will cut over into it's old chan
mel, which at Vermillion is several
miles inside the Dakota line, was
generally expressed by those who
watched its progress this year.
A year ago Congress appropri-
ated $4,000 to be used in connect
ion with $685. that was to be
raised in this section for ninvest-
igation of the river problem, but
nothing came of it.
