SaHOWICneS, InOugn kept under strict guard they seemed contented and after short time commenced to sing. To make them comfortable the crew of the destroyer gave their warm coats and heavy clothing.
 'The German officers said the first depth charge had wrecked the ma chinery of the submarine and caused her to sink to considerable depth.
 The submarine bore no number, nor distinguishing mark. She was, however, identified by life belts and by statements of an officer and men of the crew. One of the life belts, the reports said, had Kaiser marked on one side and 'Gott' on the other.
 The Tanning proceeded to port and transferred her prisoners under guard. As they were leaving in small boats the Germans gave three cheers, The commanding officer of the Fan ming read the burial service over the body of the dead German sailor and the destroyer proceeded to sea and buried him with full military honors,
 In his report the commander of the Tanning praises the conduct of his officers and crew and gives par ttcGRar credit to Lieutenant Walter O. Henry. officer of the deck, and to Coxswain Loomis. who sighted the periscope. He also comments Phar- macist,s Mate Harwell and Coxswain Cocnor. who jumped overheard to save the drowning German.
 The British commander in chief, under whom the destroyers were op- eratfng, said this in his report to the British admiralty:
 The whole affair reflects credit on the discipline and training of the United States fotilla.' and added that the incidents showed the Tanning is a man-of-war in the best sense of the term. well disciplined and organized and ready for immediate action. He also praises her commander, Lieut.. A. 8. CarDenter. and commends HarwelI and Coxswain Connor.
 The Nicholson was commanded by Lieut.. G. Fort. The British admiralty sent telegram to the commander in chief. directing him to express to the commanding officer. officers and men of the Tanning. it's high appreciation of their successful action against en- emy submarines.
 'fVice Admiral Sims, commanding the American forces operating in European waters. commended the of- nces and men of the Tanning and Nicholson Coxswain Loomis was atdL vanced to the next higher rating in recognition of his vigilance in sight ing the periscope."

BRITISH LABOR UNIONS PROTEST
 FOOD SHORTAGE

London, Dec. 29 = The national convention of the trade unions, labor party and war emergency workers passed resolutions today protesting against 'the sufferings now being un- necessarily inflicted on the mass of urban consumers by the prolonged delay of the government in organiz- ing an equitable system of distribu- ton of the supplies of food" and de- manding equal sharing among all families, without distinction as to wealth or class, with compulsory re- tioning.
 Robert Smillie of the Miners union warned the government, in moving the resolution, that "a grave crisis is arising in this country and may break out unless the government endeavors to act fairly to an."
 The whole policy of the govern ment, declared Bevan, of the Dock Workers union, had been to play into the hands of the American ring"

At 0bOAL 7s4V Ps Ill., WILLIE cSCOTL- ing convoy, Coxswain Davi1 D, Loomis, lookout of the Tanning, sighted a small periscope some dis tance off the port bow, extending about a foot out of water, and visible for only few seconds. The Fan ming immediately headed for the spot and about three minutes after the periscope had been sighted dropped a depth charge. The Nicholson also speeded to the position of the sub- marine, which appeared to be head ing toward a merchant vessel in the convoy, and dropped another depth charge. At that moment the sub marines coming tower appeared on the surface between the Nicholson and the convoy, and the Nicholson fired three shots from her sterm gun. The bow of the submarine came up rap idly. She was down by the stern but righted herself and seemed to in- crease her speed. The Tanning headed for the U-boat, firing from the bow gun. After the third shot, the crew of the submarine all came on deck and held up their hands, the submarine slrrender1ng at 4:2S p. m.
 '-The Tanning approached the sub- marine to pick up the prisoners, both destroyers keeping their batteries trained on the boat.
 "A line was got to the submarine but in a few minutes she sank, the line was let go and the crew of the U-ooat jumped into the water a-4d swam to the Tanning.
 Although the crew all wore life rreservers," the statement continues, "a number of them were exhausted when they reached the side of the destroyer As the submarine sank, five or six men were caught by the radio aerial and carried below, the surface before they disentangIed themselves. Ten of the men were Sd weak that lines had to be passed under their arms to haul them aboard.
 "One man was in such a condition that he could not even hold the line thrown him Chief Pharmacist g Mate Elser Harwel and Coxswain Francis G. Connor, (N. Y.

When he was hauled aboard every effort was made to reSuscitats him but he died in . few minutes The four od3cers of the submarine and the 35 members of the crew were all taken prisoners.
