 OSAKIS, Minn, Nov 22-E. H. Stratemeyer, well known resident Of this place, was last night severely punished by unknown parties on aC- count of recent disloyal utterances made by him regarding the United States entry into the war. He was seized at his home and placed in an automobile and taken to a lonely spot, where an application of tar end feathers was given him, and he was warned that a repetition of his remarks would lead to more serious consequences.
 Stratemeyer is a naturalized Am erican citizen of German extraction, and has been rabidly pro-German in his conversation with his neighbors. Repeated warnings had no effect upon his conduct Last night he was called to the door of his residence, and a number of masked men seized him and applied the tar and feather reme- dy. None of the men engaged in the proceedings were recognized, and the local officers say there is not much chance of the,r identity be- coming known.

 FRENCH PORT. Nov. 22.-The last contingent of American troops 70 arrive here from the United States report very narrow escape from teing torpedoed by German subma rines while running the war zone A squadron of U-boats made night attack upon the transports, and sev- eral torpedoes passed close to the vessels None of them were struck.
 The wake of the torpedoes was plainly visible by those on board but no periscope could be seen any where, although the sea was calm and smooth The transports escaped by steaming ahead at racing speed, while the conveying destroyers closed around them and prevented the sub. marines from acquiring an effective target by the use of dense smoke screens.
 On account of the fact that a num- Der of submarines were apparently lying in wait for the transports, it IS possible that the route taken by the transports and the date of their sailing were reported to the German authorities by spies in America.
