San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-San Fran
cisco is sending a stream Of small
coins east to end the shortage there.
Superintendent T. w. Shanahan of
the local mint recently shipped 1,200,-
600 dimes in $4,000 lots to New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincin-
natl and St. Louis, and at the same
time sent 100000 pennies to the San
Francisco sub-treasury to be sent to
Pacific Coast points.
Shanahan says that Washington has
called on the San Francisco mint to
help break the small coin shortage in
eastern centers, and the local insti-
tuition is working as it never worked
before. From November to % the
mint struck off 2O,OOO,OOO pennies,
dimes, quarters and halves. Most of
these have been sent to eastern and
other Pacific Coast points. Shanahan
says that the holiday season is also
lending impetus to the output Of small
coins.

All the romance and mystery which
surrounds the early history of the
Southwest is closely interviewer with
the remarkable exploits of one Span
ish explorer, Francis Vasquez de Cor
onado, and had it not been for this
one man, driven onward though he
was by his lust for gold, it is doubt
full if the Southwest would be the
wonderful developing country that it
is today.
DR.. Monsen has prepared an intense
ly interesting lecture on his expert
ences while following the trail of the
Coronado expedition, which he will
delifer tonight at the auditorium of
the Wilson school. No person inter-
ested in the Southwest can afford to
miss it. Season tickets for the Mon
sen lectures can be purchased at drug
stores or at the door. General ad-
mission, 35 cents. Students half

THIRTEEN SHIPS ARE
CAPTURED BY RAIDER
WHICH FINALLY SUNK
AMERICAN CAPTAIN WHO WAS
LANDED In OPEN BOAT SUR
WIVES TO RETURN HOME AND
TELL THE STORY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-The fun
story of the cruise of the German
commerce raider Seeadler has been
obtained by the navy department from
Captain Haldor Smith, of the Ameri-
can schooner r. G. Slade, and three
other mariners who landed at Tutuila
in an open boat September 20 after
being marooned on Mopeha Island by
the master of the Seeadler when the
raider grounded and was abandoned.
The Seeadler. formerly the Ameri-
can ship Pass of Sallllmaha, belong
ed to the Boston Lumber Co., and was
In the Nova Scotia trade before the
war. After the war broke out she
was put under the American flag and
was captured by the British and q
prize officer was put aboard her with
Instructions to take her to Korkwall,
Scotland On the way she was cap
tured by a German submarine and
sent to Bremen, fitted out as a raid
sr. A picked crew was placed aboard,
some of whom spoke Norwegian, and
sent out into the Atlantic under the
guise of Norwegian ship.
The ruse worked so we'll that af-
ter leaving Bremen on December 81,
1916, the Seeadler was held up by the
British auxiliary cruiser Highland
Scot, examined and passed. Sailors
Identification books issuedd by the
Norwegian government were furnish
edd the men, although they probability
were taken from captured Norwegian
vessels and given to the men who
seemed to fit the descriptions given.
These, together with pictures of Nor
wegian kings and queenss, gave the
ship the appearance of Norwegian.
Captain Smith learned that while
in the Atlantic thirteen
ships, valued by the Germans at Co.
100000 marks, were captured, and
four in the Pacific, the r. c. Slade,
the American schooner A. B. John
son, the American schooner Manila
and the French schooner Lutece.
When the men from the Slade ar
rived aboard the raider they found

ing and receiving apparatus and With
out difficulty they were able to hear
Page Page, Tahiti and Honolulu.
Captain Smith said that after the
Seeadler was abandoned the Germans
used dynamite to destroy the ships
fasts so that passing vessels might
not sight them. They were unable
to sink the Manila as she was load
ed with lumber and the derelict now
probably is menace to navigation
Although the Seeadler may be 9
wreck, it is probable that her guns
are in position to use.
Forty-four persons still are on MO-
peha island, but Captain Smith said
they were not in immediate danger OF
starvation. There are turtles ana
fish on the island, he said, and the
water, while brackish, is not danger
GUS. The only danger, he said, is os
sickness. One man had gangrene
when he left, but he doubted that the
survivors knew how to use it.
Recent dispatches indicate that the
captain of the Seeadler andd five OF
his crew were captured on Septem-
Der q off the Fiji islands by FijiaM
constabulary. What became of the
men who left Mopeha island in the
Lutece is not known.

GERMAN LOSSES REACH
MEN ANNUALLY
SWISS CABLES SAY CRISIS HAS
BEEN REACHED AND THAT MAN.
POWER WILL SOON BEGIN TO
SHOW BIG DECLINE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. TO-
Germany has reached the crisis so far
as her man-power is concerned, say
cabled reports from Switzerland For
three years, according to these dis
patches, Germany has lost on an av-
ei'age 100000 men annually, and
this number will at least be equaIled
in 1918.
1t is commended that to continue the
war on the same scale for another
year the Germans must have at their
command a reserve OF at least 2,000,-
600 men, whereas they actually will
have a reserve OF only 100000, in

was driven hard and fast ashore. The
three American captains had gone
ashore with the German officers on a
picnic, and the prisoners were left
on the ship. Cannon were fireddd to
tell the party the ship was in danger,
out when they returned they found
the propeller twistedd on the coral
reefs and the vessel beyond delp.
Arter working all afternoon, they
gave up as lost and took ashore
everything they could move, includ-
Ing the boats, gear and wireless. The
wireless plant, a very powerful one,

nine prisoners from the American
schooner A. b. Johnson of San Fran
cisco, captured three days before. On
JULY 8, Smith stated, the schooner
Manila was captured and dynamited
after the ten men and officers had
been taken off Aboard the Seeadler,
he said, was a Hollander who had
been taken off the first ship captur-
ed and was kept aboard because he
had made an insulting remark to the
captain about German money.
For about three weeks the raider
kept beating UP and down looking
for passing ships. Meeting none,
they went south to Mopeha on July
