 FULL BEGGED SHIP
 Captain smith said. the raider was a full -rigged ship of steel or iron, about 23O0 tons, propelled by oil burning en- zines Her captain was Felix Graf Won Luckner, active captain lieutenent; the first lieutenant. Alfred King; prize Of ficer, Richard Pless. There also was Il chief engineer, a navigating lieutenant. a mate and doctor. All told her con4- plement was 6S officers and men. Mounl- ed between decks. she carried two finch guns COS centimeters), and two machine guns. The name on her bow was ITma.
 When the men from the Slade arrived aboard the raider they found nine pris- 10 A1,,oripaf, ccb \ Johnson, of San Francisco captured three days before.

 SHIP GOES ASHORE
 For about three weeks the raider kept beating up and down looking for pass ing ships. Meeting rone they went south to Mopeha on July s1 anchored on the lee side of the island and on Au- gust the ship was driven hard and fast ashore. The three American caD- tains had gone ashore with the German n officers on picnic, and the prisoners left on the ship. Cannon were fired to tell the party the snip was III uanSet. but when they returned, they found the propeller twisted on the coral reefs and the vessel beyond help. After working all afternoon they gave her up as lost and took ashore everything they could move. including the boats. gear and wireless. The wireless plant. a very DOW erful one, was set up between two cocot- nut trees. It was equipped with sending and receiving apparatus and without difficulty they were able to hear Pago Pago, Tahiti and Honolulu.

 RUSE WORKS WELL
 The ruse worked so we'll that after leav- ing Bremen on December 2f, 1916, sHe Seeadler was held up by the British auxiliary cruiser Highland Scot exam ined and passed Sailors Identification books issued by the Norwegian govern ment were furnished the men, although they probably were taken from cap tured Norwegian vessels and given to the men who seemed to fit the descriptions given. These, together with pictures of Norwegian Kings and Queens, gave the ship the appearance of a Norwegian.
 Captain Smith learned that while cruis- ing in the Atlantic, Is ships, valued by the Germans at 60000,0 900 marks, were captured, and four in the Pacific, the R. C. Slade, the American schooner A. B. Johnson, the American schooner Ma nila and the French schooner Lutece.
 CAPTAIN TELLS STORY
 Relating the story of the capture of his ship, the Slade, Captain Smith said:
 T left Sydney on April 24. 1917, and pro- ceeded without any incident until the evening of June IT, when I was in lati- tude about north and longitude 150 west. On the evening of June IT, about 5 o'clock, the second mate reported to me that a ship was firing on us I went on deck and looked aft, and instantly, as I came on deck, they fired again, and I saw the shell fall short about two miles. She was about eight miles off. There was heavy squall starting to eastward wind favorable to this time-and I thought it possible to get away and kept holding on. But she kept firing on me at intervals of about five to 10 minutes, and was coming up on me fast.
 The ninth shot, fired about 6 o'clock struck very close. passing the poop and splashing water on the ship. Then ! concluded that there wasn't any use,

SELF-GOVERNMENT
 FOR INDIA ID A
 GREATER DECREE
This Is Now Being Planned in Great Britain-Secre- tary Montagu Talks
 on Question

London October 1.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Plans formulated by the British government for granting larger measure of self government to 1 the people of India were explained to the | Associated Press correspondent today by Edwin S. Montagu, secretary of state for
 India. MT. Montagu, who is soon to start I for India, said:
 | My journey to India is the direct out come of the governments announcement
 in Parliament that it's policy in India is
 to develop self-governing institutions. with a view to the progressive realization of representative government.
 1 Do not misunderstood me This ideal of ours must be approached by easy stages The man who thinks that home rule for India Is a practical policy is | either wholly ignorant of the situation or designedly mischievous. Steps toward
 responsible government will be taken at different dates by different parts of In l dia. Great provinces will fit themselves for it at different times. But the great | thing Is that we are going ahead firmly
 on the path toward the end which we all, British and Indian alike, desire.
 The measures that we adopt must be adequate. They must show real progress. 1 Wars vast upheaval has stirred all peo- | pies, not only in Russia. not only in western Europe, but in China and India as well. Everybody wants to be assured l that the world, their own little world, as well as the big world, is better world after the war. India, equally with the rest of the world, has right to demand l progress, and real progress.
 So we are adopting the direct and busness-like methods and I'm going to I India to consult with the people there
 and bring back the results of my con- l ferences and inquiries to be put before
 Parliament as the basis for a law which
 shall mean progress in it's widest and ] best sense.
 l We have set ourselves avowedly to the | enormous task of improving the condi- tions and life of the people, to guarding
 them against famine and against wars external and internal so that they might

 Island
 After their departure. wireless mes
 sages in code from Pago Pago to the American consul were intercepted ana the German crew believed the count had been captured. On September 5, a French trading schooner from Papeete, the Lutece, put in at the island. First Lieu tenant King took a motor boat and ma chine gun and captured the ship. She had large cargo of flour, salmon ana
 beef and supply of water. King and his crew dismantled the wireless plant and left the island in the Lutece that night leaving AS souls, including the Americans, the crew of the French trad CT and four natives of the island. Scant provisions, and bad at that, were left them Besides these, trey found few cocoanuts but the great number of rats on the island destroyed them. There was plenty of fish and turtles.

 tember s. They failed to reach Tahiti dHu returned exhausted on SeptenDer 10. l Captain Smith with three men took the small boat and managed to reach Pago- l ago 10 days later.
 DYNAMITED VESSEL | Captain Smith said that after the See adler was abandoned the Germans used dynamite to destroy the ships masts l so that passing vessels might not sight I them. They were unable to sink the | Manila, as she was loaded with lumber, and the derelict now probably is men ace to navigation. Although the See adler may be wreck, it is possible that 1 her guns still are in position to use I Forty-four persons still are on Mopeha Island, but Captain Smith said they were not in immediate danger of starvation. There are turtles and fish on the island. 1 he said, and the water, while brackish, is 1 not dangerous. The only danger, he said, | is of sickness. One man had gangrene when he left Some medicine was left. | but he doubted that the survivors knew 1 how to use it.
 I Recent dispa tches indicate that the cap l tain of the Seeadler and five of his crew were captured on September 21 off the l Fiji Islands by Fijian constabulary. 1 What became of the men who left Mo- 1 peha Island in the Lutece is not known.
