Crew of Lost German Steamer
seead|er Resume Operations j
With Captured Ships.
VICTIM BRINGS REPORT
When Own Vessel Is Stranded on
Island Raiding Goes on After
Crew Takes Possession Of
Two American Boats.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Accord1ng to
REPORT received by the navy depart
ment from the commander OF the nav
al station at Tutuia, Samoan Islands,
two German raiders, named ny the
crew of the famous Seeadler, which
II now develops stranded on Mohepa
island in the South Pacific, after
roaming the seas for seven months,
preving on American and Allied ship
ming. are operating somewhere in the
South seas.
The dispatch, transmitting the story
of CAPTAIN Hador Smith OF the Amerl'
can schooner c. Slade, of the Seead'
lers victims, was sent on september
20. several weeks after the two new
raiders left Mopeha island, where they
had been captured by the Germans.
The first put to sea August Il and the
other September 5, and it probably
was their operations which led to re-
cent reports of raiders in the Pacific.
Long List of Victims.
Before coming to grief on August l.,
the Seeadler had added the American
schooners A. B. Johnson, Manila and
Slade to the list of at least IL Allied
vessels which she sank early this year
in the South Atlantic ocean. In the
long period from last March, when she
was last heard from, the raider prob"
ably sent down other craft encoun-
tered in passing through the Atlantic,
around Cape Horn and the Pacific to
the Society group of French islands,
of which Mopeha is one.
The Seeadler, according to Captain
Smiths report, arrived at Mopeha,
July 81. Two days later she stranded
on the island and was abandoned as a
total loss, the master and crew, with
81 white men and II native prisoners,
making shore in safety. The company
remained there until August FL, when
the Seeadlers master, accompanied by
three officers and two men, put to sea
in a motor-sloop with machine guns,
rifles, bombs and about two months
supplies.
Put Out in Seized Ship.
The remainder of the crew stayed
on the island until September 5, when
the French schooner Lutece, bound
out of Tahiti, Society Islands, arrived
at Mopeha and was seized. The
schooner was equipped with machine
guns, rifles and bombs and the Ger
mans Immediately put to sea in her.
The dispatch from the naval officer
did not indicate the size of the raiders
and nothing is known of them, as one
was unnamed while the French schoon,
er Lutece is not listed in available
shipping records.

Battle for Crucial System of Ger
man DefenSeS FavorS
British.
HUNDREDS SURRENDER
Teutons Lay Down Arms in Groups
Before Allied Acknowledgement
Submarine Bases and Manufac-
turing City at Stake.

British Front in France and Belgium,
Oct. 5.-Field Marshal Haig's forces
in the offensive begun east of Ypres,
in some places have penetrated the
German lines to a depth of one mile
and have overrun the crest of the
Observation-Disclosures ridge. At an
early hour the Germans were surrend-
|ering by hundreds.
Crucial Posts Fall.
The British already have penetrated
well beyond the hamlet of Broadse-
indie, in which lie the cross roads form
ed by the highways between zonne-
beke and Moorsled and Passchendaele
and Belclaire.
Further to the south Cameron Gov
ert, where there had been much hard
fighting, was left well in the rear.
The battle was along strongholds
which comprised the crucially import
ant system of German defenses along
the -Gheluvelt ridge.
Progress Satisfactory.
Between the village of Broodseinde,
on the north, and Noordenhoeck, more
than a mile to the south, the British
are holding the crest of the ridge in
the face of heavy counter-attacks.
Striking east Of Ypres, the British
began another drive at the German
lines. Field Marshal Haig has an
nounced satisfactory progress.
After Eight Day Interval.
The renewal of the Flanders drive
comes after an eight-day interval. On
Wednesday of last week the British
swept forward on both sides of the
Ypres-Menin road. Some heavy fight
ing followed, the Germans making des-
perate attempts to regain the valuable
high ground they had lost. Almost ev-
cry inch of it, however, was held by
the British.
U-Boat Bases at Stake.
With renewal of the drive the bat
tie of Flanders is growing more and
more to resemble last years battle of
the Somme, which was followed by
the memorable Hindenburg strategic
retreat" This time, however, the
ground which would have to be aban-
doned would be far more serious loss
to the Germans, for the German-held
Belgian coast line, with it's submarine
and airplane bases is at stake, to-
gether with the great French manu-
featuring city of Lille.

Irigoyen regards the Luxburg incident

iplete veto power over such resolutions.
There is no perceptible change in Ar
