Seize Correspondence; Arrest Editor
and Manager on Espionage Charge.

Philadelphia, Sept. 11.-Govern-
ment agents who participated in the
raid on the Philadelphia Tageblatt, a.
German morning newspaper here,
yesterday, were occupied today in ex-
amining the large amount of CORE

papers taken from the place. DR..
Martin Darkow, managing editor, and
Herman Lemke, business manager of
the Tageblatt, arrested last night on
charges of violating the espionage act,
are at liberty on $4,000 bail each

Federal officers hope to have under
arrest by that time four other re-
sponsible persons connected with the
paper. Two of them are said to be
out of the city, but are expected here
today or tomorrow. The Tageblatt
was issued today as usual.
According to federal agents, the
Tageblatt has been persistently at
lacking the governments war policy
and the selective draft act. 1t is also
charged that the paper printed in
structions how persons can avoid the
postal regulations in sending mail to
Germany. According to these in
structions, the federal agents said let
tiers could be sent to the Deutscher
Hilsverein in care of H. Isselhurst

intention of violating the laws of the
United States. Lemke says he has

Kansas people take pride in
all native products that have
achieved marked success.
This accounts for the special
interest in III Flour. III Flour
is made from Kansas famous
wheat. 1t is milled right here
in Topeka, by Kansas millers.
In the Arts and Mercantile
Building you will find quite
display of III Flour.
The wide reputation it enjoys
has been gained by the quality

SINK FLEET SUBS

fight as a brilliant piece of defense for
the U-boats' worst enemy-the de-
stroyer The fact that two ships were
lost does not detract from the de-
stroyers' success. especially in view of
the fact that thrice that number of
submarines were apparently sacrificed.
The departments cablegram left lit
tie doubt that the destroyers' shells
had found their mark, for the navy is
especially guarded about making any
claims whatever of U-boats sunk, un-
less the proof appears positive.
It is assumed that the other YES
sells with the Westwego were mer-
specific as to what vessels they were.
Didn't Give Names of Ships.
The/names of the two ships sunk
were not included in the dispatch.
1t Is not even known whether they
were American ships or not. The
navy department has cabled for add
tional information.
The westwego, an oil tank steamer,
was built in Germany in 1914, for
Rumanian account, under the name
of the Steaua Romano.
Later her registry was changed to
American. The vessel was of S.069
tons net and carried a crew of forty
Latest reports show that she was in
an American port August 8. and later
sailed on a transatlantic voyage COM
manded by Captain Multoy. Y
Little Doubt About It
While the navy's statement does not
actually state that American destroy
ers were conveying the ship. that is
believed to be the fact.
1t was announced recently that a
policy of conveying fleets of merchant
ships across the Atlantic had been
adopted and since the merchant craft
which were the object of the subma-
rines' attack were bound for Europe,
that American warships conveyed
them.
American warships have all been
equipped with depth bombs for fight
ing submarines. This weapon has
proved very deadly. If detailed re-
will signalize the most notable action
against submarines since the war be-
gan. In no other case has such a
wholesale destruction of U-boats been
reported. 1t also will mark a most
striking victory for the American
naval forces.
Had Former U-Bont Episode. 81
The Westwego had an experiences
with a German submarine before the
United States entered the war, hav-
ing been attacked by one January 1,
last, while off the coast of England.
The submarines fired five shots ar
her from astern. The Westwego's
captain, J. S. Mu1coy, brought his
vessel to a stop and sent a boat witt
his papers.
The German submarine commander
demanded a supply of oil. The sub
marine commander also demanded
that the vessels 100000 cargo of
gasoline be thrown overheard. say
ing he would give Captain Mulcoy I'M
til the next morning to comply. -Four
barrels of cylinder oil were sent to the
submarine and the Westwego pro-
ceeded.
