Mr.. Roth's testimony is peculiarly in

Nothing do they regard more despica-

Story of Loss of the Bremen
Is Told for the First Time

Night off Helgoland According to Capt:
u0n KOe1ig of Deutschland Fame.
BY HERBERT COREY.

BASEL Switzerland. October 25--Thi.
is the story Of the loss OF the Bremen
So far as I know 1t has never beer
printed before.
The Bremen sank of Helgoland one
stormy night" said q U-boat captain
who was the sole witness Of the sinking
"I saw her turn over. Then she dis
appeared"
OF the unsolved mysteries Of the war
There have been various stories that she
had been captured by the British. or
sunk by them. None of these stories
has been told on authority, and none
has been denied. The German ad-
miralty has never issued a statement.
The one thing that has seemed con-
clusively established is that something
happened to her. A story that she had
returned to the docks at Kiel was never
accepted.
Won Koenig of Deutschland Fame.
The U-boat captain who commanded
the Bremen's consort and who. alone In
his coming tower, watched the Bremen
turn over and plunge to the bottom OF
the sea. is Won Koenig. whose name 10

exploits. Won Koenig is, or was until re-
Gently, still in command of the Deutsch-
land. 1t was thought inadvisable for the
Deutschland to attempt repetition OF
her cargo carrying trips from the United
States, even before we declared war, and
she was put into the regular U-boat
service
AS a commerce destroyer, however.
she proved a failure, for reasons
which have not been made known out
side of admiralty circles. Then she
was used as mother boat" for sub
narines, but this use was also aban-
doned. In fact, the Germans say that
mother boats" have not been success
full in the submarine war. The forced
use of wireless to communicate with
the boats they are mothering has been
to the alert British destroyers. The
crews of the U-boats, too, objected to
q prolonged stay at sea- Three weeks
has proved to be about all that the
nerves of the men can stand. 1t is I'M
possible to say whether these state
ments are true or whether they are
merely put out to deceive.
As to Won Koenig's story of the loss
of the Bremen, however, ! have every
reason to believe that he told the whole
truth. He is particular chum of
young officer of the German navy who
is on terms of social intimacy with a
family in Switzerland. 1t was upon a
recent visit to Switzerland that this Of
fcer told the story as narrated by Won
Koenig. As to the responsibility of
all concerned, I can only say that the
