but all the rest who could not walk or
criwl had to be left behind.
1.-THE 27 men shut up in the Diesel
dynamo chamber had heard the order
through the speaking tube, for many,
mad with anguish, screamed through
the tube TO rhelp, and it was learned
that two of their number lay bound be-
cause they had become insane. In
spired by their sense of duty, these
sealed-up men had continued to carry
on their work in order to provide the
ship with light.
1.-THE torpedo boats now quickly
took off the crew Of the Lutzow, and
those left behind were doomed to
death. 1t was resolved that no piece
of the vessel should fall into the
enemy's hands. An order was given
and torpedo cleft the waters Just
then seven men were to be seen run
ming like mad men round the deck.
Over-fatigued as they we're, they had
apparently dropped off to sleep and
only just awakened. AS the torpedo
exploded, the Lutzows bow quickly
dipped, and the stern rose until she
stood on end. Then she heeled over
and sank, forming a great whirlpool
that carried everything within it into
the depths.
when the roll was called it ap-
peared that there were 1908 survivors
OF the Lutzow; 597 men had parished

GRAPHIC STORY OF
JUTLAND BATTLE
German Survivor Publishes De-
scription Of Famous Engagement

Correspondence of The Asso. Press
The Hague, Netherlands, July "a
Scenes on board the German flagship
Lutzow during the Jutland naval
battle when some of the newest and
largest of the German battle cruisers
were battered or sunk by Admiral
Beattys British squadron in June,
1916 are wildly described by P. Krug,
one of the Lutzow's survivors in a
pamphlet which has just been pub
lished here. 1t is believed to be the
first detailed story of that great battle
from the point of view of the German
sailor to reach the public eye.
Torpedoed by British warship
early in the engagement the Lutzow,
which was the flagship Of Admiral
Hyper, was hammered numerically
by the big guns of the British vessels,
and soon became a complete wreck,
a,'ship of the dead" as Krug describes
her.
According to his story twenty-seven
German sailors were trapped in the
Diesel dynamo room before the battle
had been long in progress and re-
manned there when the Lutzow, a dis
abled hulk was abandoned and sent to
the bottom by torpedo from a Ger
man destroyed. Two of these i'm
prisoned men had been driven insane
and were kept tied by their shipmates.
After describing the first part of the
battle and telling how the arrival of
British battleships turned the tables
on the Germans, krug writes:
suddenly the entire ship is roughly
shaken. The colossus heaves far over,
and everything that is not fixed is up
set. The first direct hit! The torpedo
pisrces the fore part of the ship. It's
effects are terrible. Iron, wood,
metal, parts of bodies, smashed ships
implements are all intermixed, and the
electric light, by chance spared, con-
tinues to shine upon this sight.
- Men Trapped Alive.
1.-TWO decks lower, in the Diesel dy-
namo room, there is still life. That
com partment has not been hit, and 27
men in the prime Of life have been
spared, but the chamber is shut off
from all others, for the water Is rush
ing into all sections. They are doomed
to death. Several 3S-centimeter shells
squarely hit their mark, working
terrible havoc. The first hit the wire
less department.. OF the twelve liv-
ing men who a moment ago were
seated before the apparatus, there is
nothing more to be seen. Nothing is
left but smoking heap Of ruins. The
second shot again pierced the fore part
of the ship. The entire fore part of
the vessel, as far as the Diesel motor
room was past saving. Another broad |
side meant for the Lutzow fell short,

noise that is quite startling enough,
but the sishtseer 'fortunate' enough
to hear e. German missile coming

different song. Sir Arthur aptly de-
scribed it.
"Our Shells" he said, "go with a
bang and whiz; the Germans come
over with 9 whiz and a bang It all
depends upon the position of the
whiz."
Sir Arthur was deeply impressed by
the work OF the guns. He remained
with some OF the batteries for a long
time and listened to their noisy NUT
terings with a keen appreciation of
all that Was going on about him. He
was particularly delighted to hear
above the reverberating echoes the
songs of larks-always to be remem
bered by the soldiers on this front
as their ever-cheerful companions of
trench and battle fields.

Entertained by officers of all ranks
Sir Arthur declared his days and
nights at the front had been filled to
overlooking. No visitor ever followed
the workings of the vast British army
machine with quicker, keener. appre-
citation and understanding than he.
He was gratif1ed to find in the army
4 similar interest and appreciation in
the work at St. Dunstans for the
blinded soldiers and sailors.
Sir Arthur told of the resentment
he felt when unthinking people re-
ferred to st. Dunstan's as a home"

be segregated there for the rest of
heir days.

INCREASE IN PENSIONS
FOR WIDOWS OF VETERANS

AS the result OF an amendment to
the government pension laws, wild
ows of soldiers who fought in the
Mexican and Civil wars, now draw
ing $l2 per month, are entitled to
an increase to 500 per month, if
they have reached the age of 70
years. Congressman Gordon Lee
desires all pensioners entitled to
this increase but who are not re-
ceiving it to write him at Washing
ton and he will gladly take the
matter up with the Commissioner
of Pensions. If there are any
widows of Indian war soldiers in
this county, who have reached the
age of 70, and who are receiving
but $12 month, they should also
write him, as it is possible for an
increase to be secured for them.
