elimination of Atrocities.

On the same day came the Culmina-
ton of the long list of submarine out
RACES which caused President Wilson
to lay the whole situation before con-
gress, and to notify Germany that un-
less such methods of warfare positive
ly were discontinued and declared at
an end, the United States would break
off diplomatic relations. 1t was the
destruction Of the French Channel
steamship Sussex, between FOlkestOne
and Dieppe. Every bit Of evidence
went to prove that the ship was tor
pedOed without warning.
On March 27, 1916, the British ship
Manchester Engineer, outbound from
Philadelphia, was torpedoed and sunk
without warning 13 miles south of
Waterford. Two American negroes
were in the crew of 33. All on board
were rescued.
On March 2S the British steamship
Eagle Point was shelled by German
submarine 130 miles south of Queens
town. The Eagle Point gave up her
attempt to escape, and her crew of AZ,
which included one American, took to
the boats in a heavy swell and a
stormy wind. Finally all were saved.
The submarine sank the ship with
torpedo.
After Germany gave her promises as
the result Of the Sussex notes, there
was temporary lull in submarine
warfare but within a few weeks it
began again.
The next development came when
Germany carried the submarine war 10
the American side Of the Atlantic. On
Saturday, October 7, 1915, the German
war submarine U-53 entered Newport
harbor unannounced, delivered a pack
age of mail for the German embassy
and departed as swiftly rs she had
come. Within the next 4S hours she
sank six ships within sight Of the
American coast-four British, one
Dutch and one Norwegian. With the
assistance of the American destroyer
fotllla, all lives were saved. 1t ap-
peared that in each case the subma-
rine commander had given legal warn
ing and permitted the escape Of pas

ser warfare" which involved prom
iSe not to sink any peaceful ships with
out warning or providing for the
safety of those aboard.
With the coming Of winter and the
chilling storms which sweep the North
sea, submarine warfare was trans
ferred TO the warmer waters of the
Mediterranean, and then finally was
much restricted until the spring Of
1916. On March / the submarine cam
paign was resumed with renewed ruth
lessnesS.
Campaign Is Renewed.
The Patria of the French line, car
rying no armament whatever, sailing
from Naples to New York, was at
tackled without warning by a subma-
rine north Of Tunis. Passengers and
crew saw the torpedo pass harmleSSly
under the Patria's stern and some saw
a periScope. The Patria put on full
speed and escaped further attack, but
had another narrow escape in the same
way the next month. Americans were
on board in both instances.
With the renewal of the submarine
campaign the destruction Of ships
sometimes numbered as high as ten
in one day, hut only those cases which
involved Americans are treated here.
On March 9, 1916, while lying at an
chOr in Havre roads, the Norwegian
bark SiliuS was torpedOed and sunk
without warning. A survivor of the
French steamship Louisiana, torpedOed
fifteen minutes previously 500 yards
away, swOre he saw the submarine.
There were seven Americans in the
crew Of the Slius, and one was injured.
The next great passenger ship de-
strOyed was the Dutch vessel Tuban-
tia. While in the North sea, sailing to
Rio de JaneirO, an explosion rent the
ship asunder, and she sank. Three
Americans were passengers. All per-
sons on board were saved except one
Russian. Germany disclaimed respOn-
sibility. The Dutch government made
an investigation which indicated a sub
marine attack.
On March IS, 1916. the British steam
ship Berwindvale, with four Americans
on board, was tOrpedOed without warn
ing off Bantry, Ireland, but no lives
were lost.
On March "a, 1916, a German sub
marine chased the Dominion steam
ship Englishman, bound from Avon
mouth to Portland, Me, and while the
crew was attempting to abandon the
ship, shot away her starbOard life
boats. After more firing, as the crew
was leaving the ship, the submarine
tOrpedOed and sank her. One Ameri-
can of the crew was among the ten
| lost.

had his secret service forces at work
on the western border of the state,
following his cleanup of the Trosky,
Mimi, situation. Coming over from
Sundance and Newcastle. Wyo., has
been a limited amount of liquor
brought across in small quantities in
autos. The sheriff's men sometime
ago took into camp the crowd work
ing across from Sundance and when
that lot finished paying their fines
and Jail sentences they decided boot
logging was a poor business. This
week the sheriff's force after rather
strenuous campaign secured the
goods on seven men coming from
Newcastle and they were taken into
court where they pleaded guilty.
Through his force the state sheriff
is making 1t very unhealthy for the
few bootleggers who attempt to con-
