ANIMAL LIFE
DESTROYED IN
SUB CAMPAIGN
Hundreds of Horses and
Hogs Have Been Sunk
by U-boats.

Copenhagen, April 12.-(corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)-
What happens when a German sea-
raider is securing the Atlantic sinking
merchant vessels is graphically por-
trayed in the story of the destruction
of shipping by the German COM
merce-destroyer Puyme as related to
a Reuter- correspondent by Captain A..
Anderson, of the Norwegian steamer
Hallbiorg, which was sunk by the
York to a French port.
1t was the Puyme, according to
Capt. Anderson which sank the Brit
ish steamers Voltaire, Georgia. and
Mount Temple and accumulated her
prisoners on board the Yarrowdale
on which vessel they were taken to
Germany. Among them were many
Americans. since released.
Pathetic scenes attended the sink
ing Of the Mount Temple and the
Georgia, both of which carried hun
said. 1.-THE Mount Temple" said the
captain, had on board $50 horses and
a number Of dogs. When she was
sunk it was painful to see and hear
many hundreds Of horses, and dogs
struggling and swimming about. a
confused mass in the foaming sea.
Another appalling sacrifice Of ami
nal life took place with the sinking
of the Georgia which carried as part
of her cargo 1900 horses. The horses
were maddened by the explosion Of
the torpedo which heeled the Georgia
over, wrenched themselves loose and,
uttering terrifying sounds, plunged in
to the sea. Some Of them reached the
Puyme and beat with their f%orefeet
on the vessels side in a frantic at
tempt to climb to safety. At last the
crew were ordered to shoot the horses
with their revolvers. This shooting
continued for half an hour"
Describing the appearance Of the
German raider when she sunk the
Hallbjorg, Captain Anderson said:
THE rail Of the Puyme suddenly
dropped and the vessel which we had
taken for a harmless English mer-
chairman revealed herself now as a
modern German warship with several
guns pointed at us. We say several
torpedo tubes. There were two g.
inch guns. fore and aft. and two Of
the anne kind or a lower deck. Later
we found that the cover over the
Puyme.s emergency steering gear
concealed another big gum"
After Captain Anderson and the
other prisoners Of the sunken vessels
had been placed on board the Var
rowdale. the Germans went cruising
with the Puyme, and the captured
British steamer st. Theodore.
I'VE noticed" said the captain,
that on the following morning
strange apparatus with long wires at
tached was cast overheard at different
places and the wires connected with
the Yarrowdale's chart cabin. This
was a system Of submarine telegraphy
which would transmit and receive or
ders at a distance of $50 miles. We
We're connected with the Puyme all
the time. If anything suspicious APP
peared on the horizon the news was
immediately forwarded to the Captain
of the Puyme."
