With the arrival in New York from
Rio Janeiro Of i've American and
three Scandinavian sailors who were
members OF crews of ships captured
by the German raider Seeadler, furth-
er details of the daring Of the German
crew of that sailing ship. which was
the captured American ship Pass Of
Balmaha, were told.
After the American ship was cap.
tured by a German submarine and
taken into Bremerhaven she was said
to have traded between German and
Scandinavian ports rs the Norwegian
ship Maletta. This her German ON
GERS told to her captives in the South
Atlantic. There is a Norwegian ship
named Maletta which sailed from
Galveston on February 70 for Aal-
ported as arriving there. She and
the Pass Of Balmaha were practically
the same size.
Before the American ship was sent
on her GRAND of destruction she was
almost rebuilt at Bremerhaven. False
decks and cargo bulkheads were put
In her to conceal her armament and
motor-which, by the way. was a
part of the British exhibit at the
Client (Belgium) Industrial exposition
and seized by the Germans. This mo-
tor was said to be capable Of driving
her at ten knots in calm weather, but
shipping men feel that this speed is
exaggerated.
She sailed out Of Bremerhaven
with papers that stated she had
cleared from a Norwegian port for
the west coast of England with a
cargo of lumber. She carried a deck
load Of lumber. which helped to con.
ceal her armament and which was
thrown overheard after she had made
her way safely to sea.

possible may come into close personal contact with the
affairs Of their government.
Arrangements have been made for the issuance of
bonds Of small denominations In order that almost every
person may have at least some small share in this rails

doing this without profit ana without charge. They have
arranged for the loanins Of money to persons who have
not the ready cash with which to buy bonds, ana these
loans may be repaid in installments. Aside from the pa

bonds in this manner will start q good many people on
the road to systematic saving. a practice which il always
useful. whether in war or In peace.
