PIRATE U-BOATS

That ls the newest DEVELOPMENT Of

confidential embassy reports today.
using new 1900 vessels, apparently in
pairs, the Germans are operating Off the
beaten track apparently several hun
dred miles outside the old danger line
zone around Great Britain and France.
Numerous cargo ships have recently
been listed as missing" In the light
Of this German lawlessness, the vessels
are now given up as sunk without a
trace left. particularly as in many cases
their cargoes were fats, which Ger
many needs so badly.
The newer U-boats are sufficiently
large TO permit stowage Of a large por-
tion Of captured cargo. Because Of this
capacity the war trade board has been
particularly loath TO ship out cargoes
for European neutral ports. This also
explains why merchant ships now re-
quire heavy conveys for protection.
These conveys spell much Of the ap-
parent difficulty Germany and Austria
are now having with their submarine
fleets. The two mutlnles reported yes
terday. coming atop another announc-
ed last week indicate Teuton seamen,
despite iron discipline, are unnerved by
the anti-submarine work Of the Allies
and America and are dominated by the
unknown perils many U-boats have en-

Claims Kent County Farmer

Own Revolver

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Oct. 19.-Christopher Cook.
OF Philadelphia, charged with assault
with intent to murder Paul Shulz, a
West Dover hundred farmer, was
placed on trial in the Kent County
Court yesterday afternoon. Cook is
alleged TO have shot Shulz at the lat
Ater's home, near Hartley, on May "a.
when he went there from Philadel-
phia to see his wife, who was house
keeper for Shultz. and. who. it is
alleged. had previously left the de-
fendant.
According to the testimony OF the
State. Cook went to the Shulz farm
on the afternoon of May "a, and not
finding either his wife or the farmer
at home, waited about the place until
they returned, about 10 o'clock in
the evening. Shllltz testified that
shortly after he and Mrs. Cook ar
rived at the house, he heard a noise
on the porch. He said he went to
the door and opened IL to see who
was outside. and that Cook who was
standing on the porch. shot him. He
claimed that Cook was standing so
close to him when he fired the shot
that the powder burned his clothing.
The bullet struck him in the left
breast. just over the heart.
w. Watson Harrington represented
the defendant and contended, in outlln-
ing the defense to the jury that Cook
did not shoot Shultz, but that the lat
ter was shot with his own revolver
during a tussle between the two men
for possession OF the weapon.
Cook testified that when Shuh came
10 the door he cursed him and pointed
the revolver at him. lie claimed that
he tried to get hold Of the revolver and
during the tussle Il was discharged
the bullet hitting Shulz I'm the breast.
In rebuttal. both Shulz and Mrs
Cook denied the account Of the AFFAIR
as given by the prisoner and repeated
that the shooting was done deliberately
by Cook.
The care will be concluded today.
James j. Ross, who pleaded guilty q
non-supPort. was sentenced TO one yea
imprisonment in. the New Casle count,
