BRITISH BLOCKA[
BY Charles P. Stewart
Copyright, 1917, by United Press.)
Buenos Aires, Jan. 19.-The Brit
ish navy as represented in South
Atlantic waters is today in full cry
on the hunt for the German raider.
Four fast cruisers, including the
famous Glasgow, which took part in
the Coronel battle two years ago, are
understood to be leading the hunt
for the raider.
One report, as yet uncOnfHmed,
also declares a Japanese cruiser is
steaming nOrthward from Punta
Arenas to join in the chase.
Buenos Aires, Jan. 1s.-The list of
victim vessels of new German raid
er which swept Atlantic during past
month was raised to "a today, with
possibility. that it may reach 26.
Two more merchantmen, one
British and one French, are missing.
In addition to % vessels accounted
for yesterday, it was definitely es-
tablished today that the Japanese
steamer Hudson Maru was included
among raiders prizes. She arrived
at Pernambuco in charge of a Ger
man crew.
Survivors landed from Japanese

of operations of the raider today.
The latest German sea rover left
Kel flying the Danish flag, the sur
vivors said. She carried $50 sailors
and four officers.
The German raider is still at large
and is plentifully supplied with food
and fuel taken from her captures.
The Germans adopted the greatest
precaution in guarding her plans
from the hundreds of prisoners TAX
en- aboard her prizes. The survivors
were closely confined below decks.

BURNED At THE STAKE.

The people of Dyersburg, with a
great crowd of people from the ad-
jacent country were treated to a
gruesome spectacle last Sunday,
when Lation Scott alias Lation Jen-
kins, negro, was publicly burned
to death on a vacant lot just North
of the public square. The negro
was accused of saultin &
Mrs. Herbert Hudson, wife of a
prominent farmer, near Dyersburg,
Nov. q. and was captured in Mad
ison county last Saturday. When
enroute to Jail he was taken from
the the officers by a mob near Trim
BILE and carried to Dyersburg. One
account says the negro confessed
his guilt and it is further stated
that he had committed a similar
crime near Tunica, Miss. When an
iron stake was driven in the ground,
the negro tied to it a pile of rubbish
ignited, there were thousands OF
people witnessing the horrible
spectacle. On such occurrences,
comment is unnecessary, but it is a
pity that the law instead Of a mob
could not be executioner Of the
brute who doubtless deserved
death.
