GREAT SUFFERING AMONG
SURVIVORS OF VESSELS
TORPEDOED BY GERMANS

LONDON, July 1S.-Sufferings of the
survivors of vessels torpedoed by Ger
man submarines are graphically relat-
ed in the official report of A. H. Black
man, chief officer of the Steamer Ain
wick Castle sunk some ii me ago. The
submarine, he stated, sped away with
out sinking any of the boats containg
the survivors. There were in the chief
officers boat thirty-one persons, includ-
ing two women and a baby of few
months. The storekeeper became in
sane and it was necessary to tie his
hands and feet to prevent him from
inujring the others. A cattleman made
four attempts to jump overheard and
finally succeeded He was drowned.
The deck boy died in the boat.
Although we had occasional show
ers," he adds, everything was so sat
urated with salt that the little rain we
caught was undrinkable. We tried lick
ing the oars, tillers and seats of the
boat but the continual salt spray COM
ing over rendered this of little use.
FinaAy we broke up the water barrel
in order to lick the inside of the slaves,
which we found saturated with mois-
ture and, to us, delicious"
When the survivors reached the
Spanish fishing village of Carino, two
members of the crew who had become
demented refused to leave the boat
and it was necessary forcibly to DRAG
them out. One man expired as he was
taken from the life-boat.

WOMEN IN
kRUPP WORKS.

How rapidly German women are
taking mems place in industry and
adapting themselves to the hardest
kind OF work as result of the world
war is brought out by data found in
az article on the Krupp works at Es-
sen by Adolph Roster, printed in re-
cent issue of the Frankfurter Zeitung.
The numbers of workers in the great
arms plant is put at minimum of
sc 900 and of these one-fourth are wo-
men. In an article based on state
ments in the German press and print
ed in the New York Times, it was
pointed out that the total number of
employees in the Krupp works at Essen
on April 1, 1916, was 6S,972, of whom
1923 were women Consequently
while the number of male workers
there has increased about 1000 during
the last year the number of their wo-
men comrades has risen some 1000.
When the war began there were only
1914 women employed at Essen, COM
pared with 36,880 men.
After having described the Krupp
concern as "a kingdom of work" in
time of peace which had become in
time of war the greatest private I'M
dertaking of the country which renders
the most important service to Ger
many" Herr Roster, as translated by
the London Times, continued:
This private undertaking repre-
sents today a labor army of at least
two corps-picqed troops from Ger
1ian's home army, admittedly superior
in quality to many armies of our
enemies and well proved in many vic
tories on water and on land Krupp

large private undertaking. Under the

universal has been gained, and this
tendency VII not cease after the war.
The number of Krupp wcrkmen and
officials has grown nightly since the
autumn of 1914. In quality the work
ers and officials are necessarily differ
ent from what they once were. The
field army with it's claims has made @
big inroad on personnel, especially at
the beginning of the war. Today wo-
men constitute one-fourth of the whole
personnel; a strong women's division
helps to maintain the largest German
private undertaking. The women work
in the offices and in the workshops
many of them not far from the furn-
aces. The managers express high ap

NEW METHOD USED TO
STOP AUTOMOBILE THIEVES

ATLANTA, Ga, July 18.-0ficers
Wylie and Fortson, of the Atlanta po-
lice force, have discovered very eff
cient and speedy method of stopping
automobile thieves, provided they see
the thieves before the latter get away
with the automobile.
Standing on a corner in the heart of
Atlantas we'll known "darktown" their
breath was taken away by the swirl
Of a big touring car whizzing past
them at sixty miles an hour, more or
less. Them niggers stole that car, .
said Fortson to Wylie, Presently the
car came back, runnink like the wind,
and Fortson jumped into the street
and waved for it to stop. The negro
Griver came on as if there was moth
ing in the street but clear signal, and
Wylie drew his revolver and punctur-
ed both rear tires.
The negro fetched up in about thirty
feet, lost control of the car and jam
med it into curb, then jumped out
and started to run, but a bullet fired
in close proximity to his feet convinced
him that he'd better stop, which he

called mob anarchists They are
the ones that organize, and the ones
that stand out in public estimation
as men to be feared. AS matter of
fact, they are least dangerous. There
are as many towards among them
as among the average groups of citi
zens; they are powerless, while their
clubs are too small to assert their

poses.

But from these groups there fire.

derers, chosen by his fellows. He is
ex-officio representative, no no war
rant but his own convictions---a free
lancer.
OF this type was Czolgosz. the a.,
sassin of President Mckinney. Ot
this type also were Selig Cohen, who
threw bomb in Union Square, New
York, and Giuseppe Alto, who assas-
sinated Catholic priest at the altar
in Denver Church.
1t is easy to see that while inves-
tigation may find seeming quiet
among scattered organizations, there
is very present danger, looming
larger with every anti-war parade
and socialist speech delivered on
some free American sand lot.

FEDERAL AGENTS
KEEPING An EYE
On ANARC H|STS

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S.-
Government secret service agents are
keeping a close tab these days on
the whereabouts of known and sus-
pected anarchists in the Unite
States. Recent happenings, both in
the East and the West, have indi-
Gated a spirit of unusual activi-
on the part of various anarchists
to spread their propaganda.
While there are known to be an
archists of one variety or another
in virtually every city of the United
States, particularly those having a
large foreign population, there are
certain cities which for years have
served as the chief American centers
for the reds" and it is in these
cities that agents of the government
are keeping a keen lookout for the
Vlolent SCrlpe or murder advocates.
A Very Difficult Task.
Keeping track of the anarchist
has always been a diffiault task,
chiefly because Of their LACK of or
ganization. investigation has proven
that there is no such thing as Or
ganized anarehi5.l. The members
work either as individu,i CT in
small groups and seldom has it been
found that any real connection ex-
lists between these groups A can
vas of the cities where anarchism is
known to have a foothold shows that
there are no evidences of other
than temporary or racial organi-
cations.
Among the well known centers of
anarchism in the East are Baltimore,
Paterson, N. j., Barre, Vt. and Fitch
burg and Lynn, Mass. In Baltimore
the leaders are Italians; in Pater-
son they are Hebrews; in Barre they
are mostly Italians; in Fitchburg
they are Firms; in Lynn they are
Greeks and Sicilians with some Ital-
ians and Jews In each of these
cities anarchism is familiar and has
teen at one time or another danger
Gus.
New York and Chicago, of course,
includes large groups of anarchists
in their population. The New Y)rk
police have always managed to keep
the anarchists pretty well i'll check,
there have been several bomb out
RACES in the metropolis in recent
years. In Chicago the flood tide of
anarchy was reached in the Hay
market massacre in 1886.
interviewer WIN socialism.
The story of anarchism is mex
tricably interviewer with the story
of socialism. Under the names of
socialistic or workmen's societies
anarchists almost always disguise
their clubs, and foreigners who start
out to study socialist doctrine al
most invariably degenerate to an
archistic beliefs The actual anar-
chist is just about what the public
believes the socialist to be; the ac-
tual socialist is mild in comparison;
while an anarchist who becomes ex-
IRENE in effect breaks away from his
fellow anarchists and becomes an
individual desperate or an irrespon-
sible agitator.
There are three kinds of anarch-
lists, roughly speaking. First, there
is the philosopher type, harmless
himself but filled with the idea of
individualsm. He becomes dangerous
only when he begins to speak to his
fellows through his papers, or from
the lecture platform or from the pub
lie horseback, and then, through his
intelligence and reasoning power
applied, he incites other men to an
archy.
Those whom he incites make up
the second class, who might well be
