SLIPPED OUT TO SEA.


The two German ships OF prey
slipped out of their harbor on one of
the recent long dark nights. They
sped north. securing the seas for mer-
chantmen, bringing supplies to Eng
land. Somewhere between the Shet-
land islands and the Norwegian coast
far to the northern boundary of the
North sea-they came suddenly upon
a fleet OF Norwegian and Swedish
merchantmen. conveyed by the two
British destroyers.
The battle was fast and furious, but
unequal from the start.
The courageous attack of the Brit
ish ships, however enabled three of
the neutral merchantmen to escape.
When the British destroyers were
sunk, the Germans promptly proceed
ed to their assault on the unprotected
and unarmed MERCHANTMEN.
NO REGARD FOR CREWS.
Five Norwegian and three Swedish
ships were sunk at one-wlthout ex-
animation of their papers. without
warning and without any regard for
the lives of passengers and crews
aboard them. Then the two maraud- :
ers. fearing arrival of British patrol
boats, turned tail and fled back home.
Not an effort was made to rescue sur
vivors who struggled in the water. An
other dark night apparently enabled
them TO make good their return.
British vessels attracted by the
sound of gunfre later picked up 30
Norwegians and others. Christiana
dispatch tonight added that the ad-
miral commandant of the Swedish
navy had reported the rescue OF 81 per-
sons from Norwegian and Swedish
ships'-Presumabl survivors OF the
same German sea victims. The ad-
miralty statement, issued late today
revealed all these details and aroused
England to a fever of fighting bitter
ness.

WAR FIELD?
Rumor of Movement From
Camp Greene Arouses
Speculation as to Their
Disposition.
It May Be Planned to Send
at Least the Engineering
Portion of the Regiment
to Washington, D. c., or
Long Isla nd.
r um ors have reached
Boise that the idaho troops
at Camp Greene, ~ c., are
about to be moved. 1t was
said the change was to oc-
cur within a few DAYS. No
official vcrification could be
obtained.
This report caused earnest
speculation here as to the
possibility Of the Idaho boys
being sent to France at once,
IN any event those who are
now assigned to the cngi-
necrlng corps.
BEST TRAINING OVER THERE?
1t is pointed out that the best prac-
sICal training in army engineering is
obtainabo at the scene of actual war
fare, although it is not likely the Idaho
boys would he set Immediately at =
most arduous tasks nor sent at once TO
he most dangerous zones.
MAY GO TO WASHINGTON
In this connection, however it is
stated that members of the four Ida no
companies left behind. and now at
Boise barracks, have had an intima
tion that a large portion of the Idaho
regiment would be sent to Washing
ton, y. c., for further training. The
national capitol may therefore, be n
destination Of the Idaho regiment. or
the major portion of ii, if there is any
basis for the reported removal from
Camp Greene. Long Island. y. Y, is
also suggested as a possibility.
THE OTHER ANsWER-FRANcg!
Since the division of the Second
Idaho into artillery and engineering
corps there has been a question in the
minds of military men at this end of
the line whether the Idahoans would
continue training at Camp Greene.
IL they are not to be retained at
Camp Greene and there is no news
of their being sent to some other camp
in this country, THE PREVAILING
RUMOR WILL FIND VERIFIC CATION
IN THEIR BEING QUIETLY SHIP

TROOPS NOW MAKING PsTH1sI

will be no official announcement of
their departure

ENGLAND AGAINST 1T.

England apparently stands in the
way of "a naval offensive policy for the

and particularly if the view of many
American naval experts becomes the

mitted that perhaps his delay in re
leasing the story of the Antilles Fri
day night was mistake. He indicated
that after comforting with Secretary
Baker, they may, in the future make
public the mere fact of the disaster at
one, instead of its being held up until
relatives of victims are notified-the
old custom.

HOW AlRPLANE HAS GROWN
Wonderful Results That Have Been
Achieved in the Small Span of
Thirteen Years.

In view of a recent achievement
in long-distance aero flights and the
uses to which the flying machines
have been put in the European war,
it is interesting to recall that Sun
day few weeks ago marked the thir-
teenth birthday Of the airplane. Only
thirteen years-and what wonders
have been accomplished! Warfare
has been revolutionized and surprise
attacks rendered almost impossible
by this marvellous invention.
A couple Of young men who owned
a bicycle repair shop in Dayton, O.,
used their spare time to tinker" on
a flying machine The neighbors
considered them crazy but harmless.
Finally they hit upon contraption
to which twin propellers and 16-
horsepower, four-cylinder gasoline
motor were attached-a winged af-
fair with movable or elevating rud-
der in front, which looked like a
cross between large eagle and a
nightmare. This machine they took
to the Kill Devil sand hills, near
Kitty Hawk, N. c., and on Deem
ber II, 1908, made four successful
flights, on one of which the airplane
travelled a distance of S52 feet. And
now aviators go winging their way
across half a continent.
