ONE OF EVERY SEVEN
Battleship Captain Thrown
Overheard By Crew and
Drowned.

AMSTERDAM, DC. 1o.--A mutny
among the crews Of four battleships
Of the German fleet has occurred at
WiIheImshaven. One Of these battle
ships was the Westfalen whose cap
tain was thrown overheard and
drowned. The crews landed. Marines
refused to fire on them, whereupon
soldiers surrounded the sailors, who
surrendered.
A mutiny Is reported to have oc-
CURED on the German warship Nurn-
berg which was at sea. The men
seized the officers and proceeded in
the direction Of Norway. with the in
tenton Of being interned. The Nurn-
berg was oVertaken by destroyers and
forced to surrender.
Emperor William sent Wilhelm
shavcn and ordered that one out Of
every :seven mutineers be shot. Chan
ceIlor Michaelis protested, with the
result that only three were shot,
Heavy sentences were imposed on the
others.
Emperor Williams visit to Wilhelm
shaven in company with Chancellor
Mchaelis, was made after the mutny
had been suppressed.
The chancellor's objections to the
emperor's order that one mutIncer In
every seven be shot was on the
ground that he could not assume such
responsibility before the relchstag.
One Of the reasons for the mutlny
was bad and inadequate food.
(The Westfalen Is a battIeshlp Of
10, 600 tons, built In 1906. The Nurn-
berg is a new vessel, not listed in the
latest naval records to reach this
country. She Is a namesake Of the
cruiser Nurnb Berg, sunk by the British

FRANKNESS CAUSES
MINISTER TO QUIT

Rome. Sept. S.--The entrance Of the
United States into the war as an ally
Of Italy was the indirect cause Of the
resignation OF Minister Of Marine Tri-

Of Admiral Del Bono.
During the recent secret session Of
parliament. Minister Trianga was
called upon, as is customary. to answer
questions regarding the condition Of
hts department. One of these was.

preparing for the war His response
was attacked by the opposition to the
ministry and Triangi was SO cha
grincd that he never attempted an,
more speeches during the session.
