Deutschland Has Been Captured, Says

interview here today that the subma
rine Deutschland had been captured
By the British
1I have positive knowledge" he
said, sthat the Deutschland is one Of
the 50 German submarines in one
British port A know that the British
have captured not less than 200 Ger
man submarines"
The Deutschland now lying at
Bremen Is another submarine with
that name painted on it to support the
German story that the BIZ commerce
carrier never started on a third trip, y
Butler said.
The German submarine plan will
not succeed, Butler claimed. The
British patrol and the active subma-
rine arm off the British navy will
prove their suffciency to adequately
and most effectively deal with the

Analysis at THE Rensselaer, Poly
technic institute, at Troy, N. =, of
dust collected INV vacuum cleaner
shows that most household dust ~ fiuff
from fabrics. What it was formed
of is reported to Science NV R. I.
Rees- There was human hair and
other hair probably derived from soft
hats. There were wool and cotton
fibers from clothing, sand from the
mud tracked in or shoes and the
gradual pulverizing of the floor wings
from dead flies and paper from book
leaves; lime, probably from thu pIas-
ter OF the walls; iron from the nails
of shoes, carbon from coal smoke, salt
from perspirati0n- #
One grain OF the dust was shaken
with sterile water and SIS, 900 bacteria
were found in it Many colon baciIli
were separated. These came from
coughing, sneezing end possibly ex-
pectoration, and were held bF the dust.

late under beds and i'll the corners or
ill-kept rooms are composed largely or
fluff worn Off Clothes blankets and car

that we speak correctly Of clothes be-
ing worn and that we might also
