There was plenty of fish and turtles.
 A small boat had been left behind and the marooned men fitted it up. The captain of the Manila with a small crew started out in the boat for Tahiti on September s. They failed to reach Tahiti and returned exhausted on September Is. Captain Smith with three men took the small boat and managed to reach Pago-Pago ten days later.
 Captain Smith said that after the Seeadler was abandoned, the Ger mans used dynamite to destroy the ships masts so that passing vessels might not sight them. They were unable to sink the Manila as she was loaded with lumber and the derelict now probably is a menace to navigation. Although the Seead Ter may be wreck, it is possible that her guns still are in position to use.
 Forty -four persons still are on Mopeha island, but Ctapin Smith said they were not in immediate danger of starvation. There are turtles and fish on the island, he said. and the water, while brackish is not dangerous. The only danger he said, is of sickness. One man had gangrene when he left. Some medicine was left, but he doubted that the survivors knew how to use it.
 Recent dispatches indicate that the captain of the Seeadler and five ot his crew were captured September T off the Fiji Islands by Ffjian

 On August 23, Captain Smith re- lated, the German officers fitted up and armed d small boat and started for the Cook islands or the Fiji islands, where they hoped to capture an American ship and come back for the crew. Count Von Luckner, the master, was in charge. They were never heard of again at Mopeha island.
 After their departure, wireless messages in code from Pago Pagu to the American consul were inter- cepted and the German crew be- lieved that Count had been captured. On September ,, a French trading schooner from Papeete. the Lutece, put in at the island First Lieuten- ant kling took a motor boat and machine gun and captured the ship. She had large cargo of flour, sal mon and beef and a supply of water. Aling and his crew dismantled the wireless plant and left the island in the Lutece that night, leaving As souls, including the. Americans. the crew of the French trader and four natives of the island.

FULL STORY IF THE CRUISE IF GERMAN
 RAIDER SEEADLER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The full story of the cruise of the German com
 merce raider Seeadler has been ob- ta!ned by the navy department from Captain Haldor Smith of the Amer icsn schooner R. C. Slade, and three other mariners who landed at Tutuila In an open boat September 29 after being marooned on Mophea island by the master of the Seeadler when the raider grounded and was abandoned
 The Seeadier, formerly the Ameri
 can ship Pass of Balamha, belonged 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 cap tgred by the British and prize officer was put aboard her with instructions to take her to Kirkwall, Scotland. On the way, she was captured by a Ger man submarine and sent to Bremen and fitted out as raider. A picked crew was placed aboard, some of whom spoke Norwegian and sent out into

TURKEYS MUST
 BE FULL GROWN

What is Thanksgiving without tur- key?
 The answer, whatever it is, may be the experience of numerous families in Phoenix on that annual festival this year, in fact, probably will. But it will not be on account or the price. which is said to be not particularly high, nor on account of the supply, which is declared to be as ample as usual.
 It is because of the war, the same old reason that is leading Phoenix people to do many things they never have done before. For instance, to go wheatless on Tuesdays and meatlesS on Fridays and wasteless on all days.
 On account of the scarcity of meat in the country, the dealers in turkeys have been urged to dress no turkeys unless they are fully matured to let them grow to a ripe age. For the same reason that butchers and packers are

 Arizona is not turkey exporting state to any extent but the birds that are grown here must be of full size before being sent to the execution block and later to grace a Thanksgiving dinner table if the requests of the food conservation boards are followed.
