Washington, Nov. 26.-All OF tho
crew were taken prisoners when a
German submarine recently captured
by two American destroyers, was sent
to the bottom by members of her crew
opening cocks below while their ship
mates stood on deck with hands raised
in signal Of surrender.
There was report in naval circles
that approximately 40 men, including
five officers, were taken off the SUBJ

Mr.. Daniels statement said a de-
stroyer on patrol duty, sighting a
periscope at 400 yards, headed for it
and dropped a depth bomb; that the
submarine came to the surface soon
afterward and was fired on by two
destroyers, a second having come up;
that the submarine, apparently dam
aged, did not return the fire and sank
Immediately after one destroyer had
taken it in tow.
Teutons Climb to Deck.
It is now known that the subn1a-
rine rose because it's steering gear
was put out of commission by the ex-
ploaon of the depth bomb.
AS it appeared above the water to
meet gunfire from the destroyers at
close range, most of it's crew clam
bered on deck and raised their hands.
Boats put off from the destroyer to
take the prisoners on board and while
this was going on, some members of
the crew were busy opening the sea-
cocks below.
When the prisoners were removed
and tow line had been attached the
captured craft, filling through the

Russian Soldiers Split With BoI-
sheviki on Order for
ArmiStiCe.
CONFLICT MOST BITTER
Autocratic Methods of National Coun'
Gil In Ordering Truce Dis
puted by Deputies-Lenine
as Peacemaker.

Petrograd, Nov. 26.-The latest
revolutionary movement in Russia Is
threatened with disruption by dissen-
sion in the ranks OF the Bolsheviki
over the autocratic methods of the
council of national commissioners.
The conflict between the protesting
members of the faction and the COM
missioners has become so bitter that
the authority OF the council to order
soldiers to open peace negotiations is
vigorously denied by opponents.
The issuance of DEGREES relating to
an armistice without first consulting
tho central executive committee of the
Workmen's and Soldiers deputies,
which is the highest governing body
In Russia, precipitated the internecine
trouble. Nicholai Lenine, the Boil
sheviki premier, is seeking to palliate
leaders of the wranglng factions.
Lenine Replies to Critics.
Lenine, replying to criticism direct
ed against the order that soldiers
open negotiations for truce, which
order one of the wounded soldiers
termed a great blunder by the com.
nissioners, explained that the order
was issued for the purpose of combat
ting the counter revolutionary tactics
OF General Dukhonin and other high
officers, thus making it impossible for
them to prevent the opening of ne
gOtiatiOns.
This he said, was in keeping with
the policy Of the democratic govern
ment that the masses themselves act,
since the Bureaucrats, civil and mill
tary, were distrusted. He pointed
out that the soldiers are not empow-
cred to sign a treaty for an armistice,
but only to negotiate it.
No Separate Peace Contemplated.
Lenine declared that Russia did not
contemplate a separate peace with
Germany, that the belief that an ar
mistice on the Russian front would
make it possible for Germany to
brow a large force on the French

SHEESLEY FORECASTS
 FADING OF CIRCUS

In speaking of his new shows John Sheesley admitted that he had in- vested $50.O00 dollars since his last animals and rolling stock. He owns 2 complete train of cars. forty wagons. and horses and animals enough to stock 8 circus. When asked as to whether he has circus ideas for com ing seasons he replied. in the nega- tive, excepting as a part of a carnival. In restrospect he sees the circus fad ing, in view of the fact, that popular prices and short performances have driven the higher priced stars and purveyors backward. undoubtedly pioneered by the moving picture craze. MT. Sheesley's intention is to combine certain circus features, dem onstrations of physical fitness such as will encourage healthy exercise, edu- cational features, and wholesome comedy that will drive away dull care. A week in a town is none too long as 1t gives an opportunity to be- come acquainted, and if the show ts clean and worthy will make lasting friends. His company is so large that it takes a lot of money to pay its e1- penses and a community rather bene- fits by it's presence rather than be- coming poorer as much money is set into circulation.
 His wild animal features are a rare treat as MT. Sheesley has spent g. small fortune in securing strange and accomplished animals which consti- ute his thespian force of beasts.

 I applied the liquid preparation which Lillian Underwood had left in my chiffonnier drawer to the faint patches of flame color just below my throat, reminders of the burns had received at Dicky's birthday dinner, and which I was afraid would spoil the effect of the dinner gown had put on in honor of the guest my hus- mand was bringing home.
 Then I stepped nearer to the mirror to view the effect. It certainly dis guised the faint scars, but to my dis may saw there was such a difference between the color of the preparation and the natural ting of my own skin that I must either remove what I had put on or cover my entire throat, shoulders and arms with the stuff.
 looked at my watch and saw that the minutes had slipped away more rapidly than I supposed. I must de- eide at once what was going to do.
