Unexpected German Generosity.

Washington, June 1s:-American
naval gunners have met their first
defeat in open fight with a German
submarine. Official dispatches today
announced the destruction of the
tank ship Moreni. abandoned ablaze
June IL by her crew and armed
guard after desperate armed fight
in the war zone, which cost the lives
of four of her crew.
Half an hour after the tanker had
been sent to the bottom, her 43 sur
vivors. including all the members of
the armed guard. were picked up
with their lifeboats by passenger
steamer. The commander had set
them adrift after congratulating the
American skipper upon his game
fight and having the wounded men
treated by the submarines surgeon.
The action of the submarine COM
mander in treating his vanquished
opponents with such unexpected
courtesy was the subject of much
comment. Germany has proclaimed
her intention to treat British armed
merchant crews as pirates. In this
case even the naval bluejackets and
their officers, properly prisoners of
war, were set free, along with the
merchant crews.
