TWENTY THREE MERCHANT
VESSELS ARE REPORTED
TO HAVE BEEN SUNK
BY charls p. stewart.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Buenos Aires, Jan. 17.-Twenty- three
merchant ships have been sunk or cap
tured by new German raider whose ex
ploits, revealed today, surpass any here
tofore recorded in the worlds naval
history.
The Teutonic commerce destroyer, be-
lieved to be the protected cruiser Vim
eta, probably eluded British patrols
around Germany and swept from north
to south across every transatlantic
ocean steamship pathway.
Some of the survivors of ships sunk
! by the raider, landed today at Pernam
buco, had been aboard the raider 28
! days--indicating that the raider must
have been operating for at least four
weeks. Probably she has been at large,
roaming the seas, for six weeks or more.
| The raider still is at large, according
to reports today.
One report from Rio today said an
additional English steamer had been
sunk with q loss of 400 lives, but this
had not been confirmed up TO this aft
ernOon.
The Brazilian minister of marine has
made formal request for u report from
pernambuco, but as yet has not received
reply.
FRS nows of the raider came in dis
patches from Pernambuco detailing the
landing there by the japanese steamer
Hudson Maru of sailors from five
steamers sunk by the Tcutonic com
morce destroyer 30 miles off Pernam-
buco. The ships which fell victim were
said to have included the British steam
ers Dramatist and Radnorshire, the lat
ter bound from Bahia to Havre and
London and other French and other
ellied merchantmen.
A subsequent message reported the
sinking Of :" English and French mer-
tchantmen off the Brazilian coast, in
Guiding the Vcltaire "
A dispatch from Rio added the steam
ships Samara, Drina, Ortega and Ham,
mershus to the list of victims.
In all 237 survivors from, the victims
of the German raider were landed at
Pernambuco, the dispatch said Rio in
formation today was that the raider had
also torpedoed the French schooner
Nantes and Asnieres, and added the fol-
! lowing ships to the list which had been
sunk:
Steamers Newportland Nouant, Sem.
/ pie, San Giorgio, Nesser, King George,
/ Yarrowdale, st. Theodore, Miehsnethiel,
st. Sael, Snowdon Grange and the
Gailiy, the latter of Norwegian regis.
/ try.
Among the sailors landed were many
Indians, according to advices reaching
here, who eontradicted the earlier re-
port from Pernambueo as to the iden.
tity of the raider. They asserted that
the vessels name was indeeipherable
owing TO the fact that she was painted
dead black. These survivors deserib-
, ed the raider as armed with - cannon
! and four torpedo tubes
Some of the survivors were aboard
the vessel for % DAYS.

Capital City MOurns
Death Of Admiral Dewey

Washington, Jan. 17.-Washington
joined with the nation today in mourn
ing the death of Admiral George Dew
ey, the man who bottled up the Span
iards at Manila Bay and won victory
that startled the whole nation with its
brilliancy and thoroughness.
Saturday probably will be the date
for his funeral Then with military
solemnity, the city will pay the last
sad rites that man can pay to man.Pres
ident Wilson, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and others high in the life of
the nation, will attend and the hero s
body will rest in the Arlington nation
al cemetery.
Dewey died last night with his wife
and son beside him, after only few
days illness.
Only few short weeks ago, Dewey
observed his 10th birthday and looked
to be in perfect health. Hardening
OF the arteries, however. had done its
work and few days ago he was taken
i'll and gradually sank.
The attempt to pull the HIS off failed
for want of H2O.

The name of the German ship is re-
ported as, Vineta in one report reaching
Buenos Aires; as the Vinex in reports to
Rio Janeiro, while third report was
that she was painted dead black and her
name could not be distinguished
Included in the ships destroyed was
the White Star liner Georgia, one Of
tie biggest freight carrying vessels in
the world. The Georgis sailed from
philadelphia on December 8, carrying a
cargo composed largely Of cotton
Being bound for Liverpool, it is OBJ
rious tnat the Georgis was not sunk in
south Atlantic waters. The operations
ot the raider were first reported from
the south, but the sinking Of the Georgia
convinces steamship men here that the
iaider performed an almost unbelievable
feat. They believe the raider swept
the ocean from north to south after
Guiding the British patrol; that the
George was encountered i'll northern
waters; that others reported lost may
have been in the same zone, and that
tae raider then swept southwark, cap
turing 81 sinking vessels not yet re-
ported to the London admiralty.
From the admiralty statement, it
would appear there are now possibly
three raiders at large. The statement
told Oh the steamer ST. Theodore being
captured. y prize crew boarded her ana
she became a raider. Then the British
steamer Yarrowdale was captured, and
200 men from the crews Of sunken YES
sels We're placed 0board her.

FIRE INSURANCE MEASURES.
House Passes Bill Presented by the
Commission.

Columbia, Feb. 7.-Three of the
seven bills presented by the special
commission to clear up the fire in
surance muddle passed the house this
morning, viz: the fire inquest bill,
naming insurance commissioner at
torney to accept service for insur-
ance companies, and bill requiring
that municipal licenses shall not ex-
ceed 2 per cent. except Charleston,
which is permitted to charge per
cent.
Mr.. Moore. of Abbeville, made a
terrific fight on the bill repeailing the
valued policy law In his speech he
recalls the old fight of last year on
the Laney-Odom bill and said the in
surance companies were making a
scape-goat of South Carolina, as a
warning to other States. He said, Il
am surprised that the companies
haven't demanded the repeal Of all
the laws, abolish the insurance COM
missioner and let them come in here
and operate as they please" declared
the Abbeville member. He said the
companies were boasting that they
had brought little old South Caro-
lima to her knees
Mr.. Neuffer, of Abbeville, opposed
the effort to repeal the present
valued policy law and thought the
commission substitute for it ought to
be killed. 'It looks like business
and common sense to fix the value of
a house before it burns,' said DR..
Neuffer.
Chairman Noise, of the banking
and insurance committee, in charge
of the bills, said the cost of valuing
the building would make the cost of
insurance almost prohibitive. He
urged the repeal OF the valued policy
law. The motion to recommit the
bills was lost by vote of Sc to 81,
and the clincher put on. The bill was
then given it's third reading, and by
a vote of 5S to SO sent to the senate.

USEFUL INVENTION.
New Sleeping Bag Adopted for Army
Use.

A sleeping bag with decidedly
novel and useful features has been
adopted recently by the United States
army upon the recommendation, it is
said, of the general commanding the
force along the Mexican border, de-
clares Popular Mechanics for Febru-
ary. The bag was designed and is
made in Los Angeles, Cal. It is con-
structed of water-proofed material ir
two different weights, adapted for
different climatic conditions. Though
the model for army use weighs only
three pounds, it affords complete pro-
lection to the sleeper. The face is
protected by mosquito netting at
tached to a hood or awning held in
place by small rattan bow. A felt
pad, one inch thick, contained in a
long pocket, serves as a mattress
from the sleeper's shoulders to well
below the hip line. There are small
pockets for a revolver, watch, flash
light, medicines, etc. The bag is
washable, and packs easily into a
knapsack.

On Break in Relations.
When Mr.. Bryce was asked con-
cerning President Wilson's course in
severing diplomatic relations with
Germany, he said:
'The president seems to us, if I
may venture to express an opinion,
to have acted with patient caution
and moderation which greatly
strengthens his present position. He
gave the German government every
chance Of returning after the cases
of the Lusitania and Sussex, to bet
ter courses, but when she repudiated
the promise she gave after the Sus-
sex he perceived the portentious
gravity of the situation and felt that
no self-respecting neutral nation
could possibly submit to the claim
of the German government of the
right to destroy the liyes and proper
ty of neutrals in the way contem-
plated"
What difference would America S
coming into the war make?" Mr.
Bryce was asked
1T is not for us to express any
opinion on what Americas duty and
policy require" he replied. THAT is
entirely a matter for America; but
if you want to know what difference
it might make, I personally have
never doubted that the entrance of
America would be a most important
factor and would naturally tend to
shorten the war.
apart from such military and
naval strength as America might
bring and apart from the prodigious
financial resources America COM
mands, how great would be the nor
NAL effect produced by her action.
The German, Austrian and Turkish
governments would feel that success
had become impossible for them and
also that when the time comes for
them to yield they would be yielding
not merely to the force of belliger-
ents but to the outraged conscience
Of mankind represented not only by
belligereut people but also by the
greatest of neutral States. Not even
Germany, strong as she has shown
herself, can fight against the condem-
nation o. the civilized world"

Explains Remark.
Mr. Bryce when asked why he
thought the German action toward
neutrals had brought peace nearer
replied:
Because the German government
itself has declared that this unbridal-
ed submarine warfare directed
against neutrals as we'll as belliger-
ents to be it's last resource. If this
fails, everything will have failed, so
they tell us themselves through their
newspapers. That is why they say
they were driven to it, If this does
not succeed the war is finished.
1--WE in England do not believe the
German submarines can do us more
harm than they have been doing al
ready, although neutrals undoubtedly
will suffer more. If there is to be a
contest of endurance We are conf
dent that We can outlast Germany
and we are prepared to endure all
that is necessary for the sake of sue
cess in a righteous cause. 1t is not
vengeance against Germany that we
are fighting for. We want no re-
venge upon the German people. We
are fighting for the future security
