For this supreme act OF patriotism,

than a signal to stop. though. 1t was
a signal to stop and be sunk. and the
tanker's captain knew it. The COM
mander of the naval gun crew called
his men to their posts. The U-bOat
was hardly visible against the slate
horizon, but a naval gun was trained
on the shadow made by the raiders
superstruCture, and a shell went
screaming across the waters
Striking a zigzag course to avoid
torpedoes, the Moreni proceeded to
give battle to the undersea terror
But the submarine made no effort to
torpedo the tanker. Instead, It began
firing with both guns. From fore and
aft the guns of the Moreni spat chal-
lenge. In the two hours OF the battle
80 shots were exchanged.
The last shot from the submarine
struck an oil tank and the Moreni
blaEed up. The U-boat quit firing;
there was no further need. The Mo-
renfs crew, seeing that further fiEAt
was useless, and imperiled by the
flaming oil, took to their boats
One Of the four victims was already
dead. He was Wireless Operator D..
g. Curran, Of New York. The excite
ment of the battle was too much for
him. and he fell a victim Of heart
disease.
Falls Into Flaming Sea.
Edward Cunningham, an oiler, fell
to his death in the sea while trying
to set into a llfeboat. K. Moustner, a
seaman, was wounded by particles
from a German shell. He died of his
wounds. Fireman A. Geeisen also was
wounded. Moved by the gapeness Of
his adYerSaries, the submarine cap
tain opened his hospital facilities to
them, but it was too late to save Geei-
sen. He died on board the submarine.
As the crew left the Moreni. all the
sea about them was ahame with burn
ing oil. Through this inferno the men
rowed fTantically, seeking deep water.
Many were burned and scalded. Fiery
tongues shot up around their frail life
boats. Cunningham, the oiler, who
fell into the water, was burning when
he drowned.
The state Department message does
not record the words which passed be-
tween the commander of the sub
marine and the captain of the Moreni.
That is another story, which will be
heard in time. But the action of the
U-Boat's skipper in offering help to
the wounded Is story enough of what
he had to say to his fighting enemy.
There wasn't a great deal after that.
The submarine could not take the sur
viYOrs on board, even as prisoners.
But the sea was calm, and a little
later a passing steamer picked up the
survivors. Six of the crew. who were
slightly wounded. were placed in a
hospital when they reached land.
The Moreni was Of 4,CB tons. She
was built at BremerhRyen in 1913, and

new ESPIONAGE ACT
Foreign SAFEGUARD
Will Protest Relations Of U. S. with
Other Countries.

Many prosecutions are expected by
the Department Of Justice 10 follow
the signing Of the Espionage Act by
the President yesterday. Mr.. GREGORY
looks upon this measure as one Of
the most important pieces OF war
legislation yet enacted The War
Trade Committee alSo regards the
expert control chapter" Of the new
law as the most vital OF the entire
bill. II will not only prevent ship
ments to the enemy. II was said at the
department, but IL will prove a safe-
guard against the development Of en-
other embarrassing situation such as
recently arose with Mexico, since II
controls the shipments Of arms and
munitions across the border. =
Another feature Of the law 10
designed TO prevent similar friction in
foreign relations, as II forbids any
other than a duly appointed agent Of
a diplomatic or consular official from
doing business here unless the Secre-
tary Of State is FIRST notified.
