Prepared by Ohio station.l
1t Is possible To use grasses and clo-

The objection usually urged against
the plan Of growing mulch material In

in support of such a theory. for vigor

and officers were still discussing the
incident at 9:30 o'clock, when smoke
was seen away on the starboard bow.
Supposed Raider Sighted.
At 10 o'clock. when the Kroonland
was steering west by south, a strange
steamship was hull up and plainly Wis
ible about five miles away to star
board. She kept up with the liner
easily and ran a parellel course until
11:30, when she altered her course to
the southwest, as II to join the sub
marine, and by noon she was hull
down on the horizon.
Captain Barman and his officers be-
lieved she might have been a German
raider acting as supply ship to one or
more U-boats, as they thought that, IL
she had been a British auxiliary
cruiser the vessel would have given
some signal to an American liner.
The officers said that the stranger
was Of about 5000 gross tonnage, 400
feet long, with high poop and foc'sle
decks, two masts and one funnel and
painted black. so far as they could
determine in the glare of the sun,
which shone directly on her.
Distinguishing Marks.
The distinguishing marks about the
stranger noted by the officers were
a lower and upper lookout on the
foremast, as on a whaler, a large
crane hanging just forward OF the
funnel at an angle of forty-five de-
grees, two similar cranes on the quar-
ter deck aft, suitable for hoisting
boats or submarines, and two carbo
booms lowered amidship at the base
of each mast.
Captain Barman said she had life
boats swung at the davits, and, judg-
ing by her superstructure amidshlps,
looked as IL she might be a passenger
vessel. From her movements he judg-
ed she had a speed of sixteen knots
or more. No sign of guns could be
seen anywhere on her decks, the off,
GERS of the Kroonland said, but there
were plenty OF places for ports along
her decks, where guns might be
mounted and screened by canvas cur
tains painted the same color as the
hull.
