Vessel, Disabled, Captures Mine

Sets a Trap.
SINKS 6 ENEMY DESTROYERS
StreWs Sea With Score of Mines Then
Calls Prussian Vessels in Ger
man Code and They Rush to
Their Destruction.

New YOrk-How a British subma-
rine, disabled and forced to come to
the surface in Prussian waters in the
North Sea, captured an enemy mine
layer and sank six PruSSian deStroyers
was told in graphic language by an Of
fcer of a British vessel that arrived
at an American port. According to the
narrative the officer commanding the
submarine forced the mine-layer to
tow him out to sea and then, repairs
being completed, sowed the sea with
mines and in German code sent out a
call by wireless that brought six Prus-
sian destroyers down on them. -Four
of the destroyers struck mines and the
remaining two were sunk by the sub
marine, which then made her way
home in safety
''We were cruising off the mouth of
the Weser at night" the officer told
New York Herald reporter, when
something went wrong with our ma
chinery and we came to a stop.
Setting the Trap.
'We had passed close by to several
Prussian vessels earlier in the eve
ming, but had not touched them, for
ours was a mission of observation. So
we considered that we would fall in
with one very soon. Sure enough, in
an hours time we caught sight of
dark shape coming down and which
would apparently run afoul of us if we
kept on. Through the night glasses
our lieutenant made her out to be
trawler. At once he decided on des-
perate expedient. He sent off the
bo'sun and six men, all the available
men we had, in our cOllapSible boat,
and as the trawler bore down on us he
hailed her in German and reported
himself as U-29, with machinery dis
abled.
'.It wasn't till she was right on top
of us that they smelled rat Some
one shouted out an alarm as her over
hang graZed US. And as the cry went
up our collapsible, which had pulled
around, boarded her from the other
side. The lieutenant and I went over
the trawlerS side and shot two of

boats crew had kept the remainder of
the watch on deck busy.
"Once in possession of the deck it
was easy to do for the engine-room
force of three and the boat was ours.
We made sure that there was no COM
munication from the fo'c'sle except by
Y the locked hatch. Then the lieutenant
passed a line to our own submarine
and with her engine-room crew work
ing like mad the rest of us on the
trawler got under way. 1t was almost
dawn before the engineer on the sub
marine hailed us and announced that

fairly torn to pieces. The fourth de-
stroyer, her engines reversing at top
speed and hauling her back on her
launches, took a pot shot at the traw-
Ter for luck, realizing that they had
run into a trap. AS she was firing we
crept slowly up and let her have tor
pedo amidships.
'The roar Of the explosion had hard
ly died away when another detOnation
shook us and we found that two more
destroyers had come up from the
southwark and had fallen afOul Of the
mines The leading one was untouched,
but the second had struck another
mine. AS the one remaining destroyer
turned to run we made for her at an
angle and got her. She went up with
an appalling roar.
"We had no chance to breathe, how
ever, for something dropped into the
sea close by and exploded. Swinging
our periscOpe upward we found three
Taubes circling above us. We turned
and cut for home, with the trio hang
ing over us for more than half an
hour, dropping bombs all around us,
and after running with the fear of
death in our hearts for more than an
hour we got within our cruising area
and the Taubes were driven away by a
couple of our own seaplanes.

cross for his work and we all got the

Salonica.-The change that has

Greece with sincere joy, because the
abolition of despOtism and the triumph
Of democratic principles in Russia
proves in the most conclusive manner
that the struggle now going on in the
world is essentially contest between
democracy and autocracy.
The entrance into the war of the
great American republic is the most
emphatic confirmation possible of the
struggle of the Greek liberal forces
against King Constantine's clique has
never been a fight between people IA
voring war and those who favor peace,
but it is a struggle of democracy
against autrocracy. No party wished
for a prolonged period Of peace more
than the Liberals, especially after the
exhaustion resulting from the two re-
cent Balkan wars.
Sympathies With the Entente.
Because of the democratic Senti-
ments of the country, however, as well
as on account of the bonds of. graft
tude and common interest existing
between the powers that guaranteed
Greek safety and constitution in the
eastern Mediterranean, and also be-
cause of our alliance with Serbia, all
our sympathies were from the begin
ming of the war with the entente pow
ers. Moreover, we were firmly con-
yinced that the developments of the
great struggle would, sooner or later,
make our intervention inevitable on
account of our treaty with Serbia.
In this conviction we were strength
ened after Turkey, which never recOg-
nized our sovereignty over the isles of
the archipelago and which never
ceased to proclaim plainly that she
would go as far as war declaration
in order to take possession of them,
had entered into the war on the side
of the central powers.
There never was any doubt in our
minds that the world war was our
own war and that it was incumbent
upon us to enter into it at the first
opportunity.
Opposed to this policy was that of

IT'S AN EARLY MORNING JOB
Raid on Destructive Garden Pests at
Right Time Much More Effective
Than Poison.

The boy who gets out early in the
morning in his young garden and be-
gins to pick squash bugs, cucumber
beetles, potato bugs, and such slugs
and cut and wire worms as are in
sight, with his thumb and forefinger
and drop them in a deep can, will do
more good than poison could do in
three days, says a writer in the Amer
lean Boy.
Pour boiling hot water into the tin
holding these insects to make sure
they are killed. Go the rounds every
morning. Do not wait until after
school, or late in the day, because they
have feasted and crawled away to
sleep and rest-most of them. Do not
try to pick them at noon because they
hide underground or behind leaves to
get out of the not sun. But bright
and early in the morning they come
out with the sparkling dew to get
busy and eat the good things you
have planted. Get up an hour earlier
three mornings a week just to do
this, and the result will repay you ten
times over when your garden begins
to supply you with peas and beans and
cucumbers and lettuce and radishes
and many other delicacieS.
People who talk too much think too
