America
Nearly two years ago craftsman
in the Kiel offices of Krupp designed
a merchant submarine and submitted
the plans to the directors. They were
pigeonholed at the time because these
materials were not desperately needed
and because the government would not
aid Krupp in constructing unarmed u
boats. But last year Krupp needed
nickel, rare ores and minerals which
could be bought only In the United
States or South America. So the
Deutschland was designed, built,
financed, launched and directed by the

MIRAGE CAUSES
Loss OF VESSEL
Shore Line at Times Visible
and Then Invisible Leads
Schooner to Destruction.

SAN FRANCISCO, March g.
mirage lured the American schooner
Kona, of this city. to it's destruction
on Kangaroo island, south of Aus
tralia early in February, according
to a cablegram received from Capt.
A. Hansen, master of the craft.
A shore line sometimes visible
and sometimes invisible; headlands
that retreated and advanced, re-
naming apparently the same dis
lance from the ship, no matter
which way she turned. destroyed
the calculations of navigation and
finally landed a bewildered captain
and crew ashore.
Capt Hansen's statement is am
plifed by a report received by the
United states photographic office
from the schooner w. II. MarstOn Of
San Francisco, which saw the same
mirage and narrowly escaped the
same fate.
The Kona was passing through
Investigator strait and the Gulf Of
St Vincent on her way TO Adelaide,
Australia. The strait, more than
loo miles wide, runs north and
south. Capt. Hansen sailed eight
miles off the west shore during the
first night, but at dawn he was sur
prised 10 see not only the western,
but also the eastern shoreline. The
latter appeared eight miles TO star
board Here was a strait 100 miles
wide that appeared 16. Capt Han
sen and his mates decided they were
victims of an optical illusion. So
they sailed in wide Zigzag and the
eastern shore was always just on the
horizon while the western shore be-
haved as normally, disappearing and
reappearing as the ship altered its
course. SO the navigators decided
that the easterly land was a mirage.
But later the mirage became a real
itv and near the entrance of the
gulf the vessel went on the beach
of Kangaroo island.
The Marston saw the mirage, but
avoided disaster.

peacefully, but before it had con-

"A failure TO get a vote upon 1t.
There were some bitter criticisms
of the president and Of the news

any man in the senate or out if
high or low, who said he attempt

Sen. Townsend said the presidents

Norris announced that he favored

Sen. Smoot said if the president
would call a special session of con
gress now and the friends Of the
armed neutrality bill would not take
all the time, the measure could be
passed i'm three days after it reach
ed the senate floor.
The last speaker was Sen. La
Toilette. The central figure of the
hlibuster. lie said he would not dis
cuss his position on the neutrality
bill now but might have something
to say about il later. Pointing out
that some of the most important
appropriation bills, including the
navy and army measures, had been
presented to the senate only a short
time before March 4, he asked.
Were they so long coming to the
senate only because it was undesir-
able that they be discussed here ,"
The army bill was presented, he
said, with a provision never before

session you bring in a bill that in
fringes on the constitutional author

bate shall be made 10 conform. With
this sort of a rule and an iron hand
laid on this body from outside, with
a congress that has reduced itself
in a little less than three years to
little less than a rubber stamp, do
you not think this sort of cloture
would be pretty effective?"
