Mr.. Steward, successful in growing
all the Strawberries his family could
wish for, and providing quite a guam

successfully growing what he calls
the Lucretian dewberry. He said he
obtained the first paintings Of this

had been so richly productive that he
is exploiting it on q broader scale.
The fruit of this vine is very large
and juicy. The vine is borne on a

directions, and this enables one TO

London. May 19.-Douglas Duff,

German submarine April 27, stated
in a deposition that three hours after
the vessel sunk, and while he was
elinging to the bottom of a boat
which was partly destroyed by a
shell, the submarine approached. The
commander began to ask the usual
questions concerning the destroyed
steamer. Then he threatened TO
shoot Duff, but asserted he would
not waste his ammunition on an Eng

despite the fact that it was eleven

Copenhagen, May 10 via LondOn)
Destruction of the Zeppeline LIZ,
reported in an official British an
nouncement on Monday, occurred off
Esbjerg within sight of the Danish
coast, according to the accounts of
eye witnesses from villages on the
shore. These accounts indicate that
two Zeppelins we're destroyed on
that day inasmuch as the explosion
of an airship off Terschellipg was
reported from Holland at a point too
distaut~tO cover the same case. The
loss of the second is attributed to
lightning. The L-22 was seen off
Esbierg while making an observation
tour up and down the coast of Jut-
land. 1t was engaged by a British
force, which presumably was looking
for German destrOyers that had been
fishing up British mine fields. The
Zeppelin was not far from shore and
was plainly visible. Its opponents
could not be seen, but their presence
was made ksown by the booming Of
the guns.
Eye witnesses saw the airship dart
upward after the first round Of shots.
Then they heard a second salvo.
The Zeppelin endeavored to maneu-
yer itself out of range but with the
third broadside it went down, mortal
w hit. At first it sank slowly and
then plunged down at great speed
into the sea below the horizon.
