n MEN AND FIVE
 f OFFICERS TAKEN
rorhers of Crew Open Sea Cocks While Others Stand on Deck With Hands Raised in
 Surrender.

washington, Nov. 24.-A German s,,hmarine, captured recently by two American destroyers, was sent to the hottom by members of her crew onening cocks, while their shipmates stood on deck with hands raised in signal of surrender. All of the crew were taken prisoners. One of the Germans was drowned while being transferred to a destroyer and another died. The latter was buried with military honors. Secretary ,Dan- iels announced the capture and sink ing today in 9 formal statement which made no mention of prisoners, nor of the reason for the u.boat sink ing. Details leaked out at the de partment later, but Secretary Daniels would neither affirm nor deny them.
 There was a report in naval cir cles that approximately 40 men, in- cluding five officers, were taken off the submarine. If this were true tho vessel undoubtedly was one of the largest of the cruiser type known to be operated by the Germans.
 The action occurred in the war spas several days ago, and the sub marina went down while one of the destroyers was attempting to tow her 10 port.

 IN UNITED STATES
 REPUDIATES REBELS

Washington Nov. 24.-In a letter to, Secretary Lansing, following t1e resignation of three of the chief of ficers of the embassy to avoid having relations with the Bolsheviki, the Am Eassador said the Bolsheviki govern ment was not representative of the true will of the Russian people and that he would not recognize that or any similar government which would lead the country into non-participa- tiOn in the war.

DESERTER SENTENCED WITH DEATH BEFORE
 A RIFLE SQUAD

Washington, Nov. 24s-While the death penalty has been imposed on an enlisted man of the American army. who is of German birth, on conviction of assertion it was indi. cated today at the war department that the finding of the courtmartial would be overruled and the sentence commuted to a long term of impris- onment. The soldier was stationed at Panama. and there is little doubt that after his desertion he attempt ed to make his way to Germany, presumably for military servlce there. He was charged after his apprenhen. sion only with desertion, and the question of his intention to join enemy forces was not developed at his trial.
 It has not been the custom in any army, even in time of war, to i'm. pose tht death penalty for desertion, unless the act was in the face of the enemy. or unless there was evidence to show that the purpose of the of fender was more than merely an at tempt to evade military service. The commanding officer of the Panama garrison recommended that the court be overruled and term of imprison- ment be substituted.

MILv|lLt PUTS
 WAR WORK UPON
 BUSINESS BASIS
Employees of Lumber Com pany Give One Day a
 Month for War Relief.

Millville, thriving little town or the Cotton Belt, few miles south west of Pine Bluff, seems to have talk en the initiative in the movement for coordination of war help work, tho kenosha, Wis.,, has received the credit. That this is true tends to indicate the value to town of good, live press agent.
 Even Pine Bluff people knew noth- ing of Millville's achievement, and might have remained in ignorance of that towns progressivenes for much longer but for the publication tin The Graphic on Friday of an article de- scribing the Kenosha plan, and an edi- ttorial having refrence thereto. These brought from c. A. Buchner, general manager of the Freeman Smith Lum- Der Company of Millville, letter in which he says:
 "It may surprise you to learn that the employees fthis company, just three weeks ago, organized on a regu- lar business basis just exactly the scheme as in described in The Graphic. The idea originated with one of our employees, and it grew out of plan which was pursued for securing the Cross contribution. A meeting of the citizens of the town was called at the clubhouse, chairman was elected. and "a plan was presented, in substance as follows:
 "The organization should be com prised of the employees of the Free. manSmith Lumber company; each employe should ,obligate himself to give the association one days wage per month, regardless of what he earns, for the entire duration of the war. These amounts would be collected thru the company's time-keeper and de- posted to the credit of a committee, which was elected by the association at this particular meeting. Disburse ments of these funds would be made by this committee. Practically every white employe of the Freeman-Smith Lumber company is member of this organization, and it is proposed now to organize the negroes into an aux Hilary association who will obligate themselves just as the whites have, and who will be given representation.
 "I as manager of the Freeman Smith Lumber company, do not take any credit for myself or as company for originating this idea. It was origi- mated by striker in the blacksmith shop. Credit for the organization be- lonsg entirely to the workmen.
 "I thought it would be of some value to you to know that your Kenosha plan had been in operation in one of the dark corners in Araknsas for some little time before even it had been thought of in Kenosha, Wis"

Captain kleinschmidt Sent Out Inv Carnegie Museum ArrpSted-Is Suspected of Enemy
 Sympathy.

New York, Nov. 24.-Capt. Frank E. Kleinschmidt, widely known as an Artic explorer, was arrested here tonight by detectives attached to the bomb squad on the technical charge of having violated the law by having a revolver in his possession. The officers seized trunk in which they said they found revolver, and a quantity of papers. In the trunk, also, was scrap book containing newspaper clippings, one of which showed picture of Captain Klein schmidt with group of Austrian of ficers about to make an ascent in a dirigible balloon near the war front. Captain Kleinschmidt, who gave his age at 46, was arraigned in the night court, and released on $500 bail.
 He returned to the United States in February, 1916, after having spent 16 months with Austro-German forces on three war fronts. He gave many lectures, illustrated with motion pie lures taken on the eastern front and along the Isonzo.
 Defended Germany.
 He reused much criticism in June by a lecture which he delivered at the plant of Thomas A. Edison at West Orange, N. J., in which he warmly defended Germany and at tackled some of the United States al lies, especially Russia, who he ac- cused of vandalism. Captain Klein schmidt. who is an American, is best known because of his work as com mander of the Artic expedition sent out by the Carnegie museum at Pittsburg, and as an explorer in Alaska and Siberia.

CLEAN CUT VICTORY.
fRy Associated Press. :,

l Base of the American Flotilla in British Waters, Nov. 24.-The Ameri. can destroyers responsible for the
 latest sinking of German subma- rne have returned to their base with flags flying. Their victory was one of the cleanest, neatest and quickest pieces of antisubmarine work yet
 recorded by the American squadron. The submarine was disabled by a depth charge, rose to the surface three minutes after the charge was fired. hung hesitatingly at the sur. nee for moment and then sank to Ae bottom of the sea. The pressure or water at the 200 feet or so depth r which she sank soon completed tne destruction of the strained plates oa the submarines hull. For a long 4mA bubbles and oil continued to rise
