GERMAN WHO SANK
LUSITANIA BELIEVED
TAKEN FROM SUBMARINE

Paris, Aug. 2S-Lieut. Schwieger
the man who sank the Lusitania, has
been captured by French patrol boat
in the Mediterranean, according to La
Journal. A large submarine, Of which
he was second in command, had just
torpedoed a British steamer between
Malta and Sicily. The German was
waiting to see the vessel sink when
two French patrol boats emerged from
the fog and sank the U-boat. Of the
crew of seventy-five only one officer
and four men, were rescued by the
patrol boats. 4
While IDeing taken to Toulon, the
officer appeared i'll at ease. When he
thought no one was looking he tried
to throw some papers over board, but
a sailor seized his arm. He refused to
answer questions but an examination
of the papers explained his uneasi-
ness.
La Journal asks if the man who
committed "the, most vile, the most
barbarols and the most coWardly act
in the annals of war;" is m erely to be
sent to a prison camp.
A dispatch from Toulon last Friday
which described the sinking of Ger
man submarine in the Mediterranean
by patrol boats, added that the mate
of the submarine attempted to COM
nit suicide when brought on board
rescue ship. The man appeared to be
insane and was reported to have le-
clared that the lost U-boat had tor
pedoed the Lusitania.
The German admiralty, according
to advices from London, Aug. 10, has
admitted that Lieut.. Schwieger was
killed when a U-boat that he COM
manded struck a mine in the North
sea. The dispatch said that his death
occurred in September, 1916.

WASHINGTON. July 5.-Germany Is
tapping the last Of her man power re-
serves, says Sam l.. Rogers, director
OF the United States census. And Rog-
ers ought to know something about IT,
because IL is his business TO keep post
ed on population figures.
! called his attention to recent stories
regarding the population Of Germany.
One said German propagandists were
claiming a population Of s0oOOOeO in
stead Of 65.0O0.000 as represented IN the
last German census.
The other said an American citizens
dauchters, who had been guests OF
Hindenburg's daughters in 1918. had
heard the Hun leader say Germanys
population was really 90O00.000
II don't believe either statement,
said Rogers. 1T would not be possible
for a nation so to camoufage its cen
sus reports as TO deceive the world.
In order to do so, it would be neces-
sary to make all tho tables gear up.
"For instance, census experts study
and compare figures giving the age ana
sex constitution Of the population, the
birth rate, the death rate. the marriage
statistics, the disease figures. 1t is
pretty hard thing to doctor all these
so as 10 make them come right.
And even II they did, comparison
with figures Of past censuses would
at once reveal a vast discrepancy. There
would have to be some accounting for
the absence OF growth. Marriage hs-

ures would have 10 be decreased,
births would have TO be decreased and
deaths increased. And this would have
TO be done on such scale as at once
30 arouse wide discussion both at
home and abroad.
"Of course It would be possible foI
the Germans TO have started out with
fake census figures in 1870. To do so
they would have 10 belittle their own
empire; TO show slow growth In every
line OF human endeavOr. Instead OF
that, they showed tremendous expan-
sion OF a commercial and scattering
race and boasted about Il.
Various checks will show the fool
ishness Of this propaganda story. The
total area Of Germany Is POS 7s0 square
miles, or less by $1,000 square miles
than Texas. There Is not enough
farming and grazing land TO give EN-
ployment TO a very large population.
A large part Of Germany's population
lives In cities and towns\
Twenty million more people than they
claim In the census would mean many
more big cities than they have.
IAN industrial population increased
by 100000 would produce more ma
terial than we know they were selling
and eat far more than we know they
were raising and importing. You can't
any more conceal the amount OF stun

consume than you can hide the people

"WORK. WORK." HE SAYS.

ASK no holiday; no vacation; work, work
advises the food administrator. 1--WE must win
the war; he says.
This advice we take it, is in the nature OF
a request and not command. But, how many
are guided by this request, the necessity of the
time; would be hard to even guess. The tenden-
cy is to work as little as possible. We have
lived in affluence and in peace so long that we
have become Indifferent if not indolent. We
have cultivated desire for holidays and vaca-
tons to such an extent, that failing to get
enough to suit our passion. we have resorted to
the shortening of working hours, until we have
reached point where we are on the verge OF
enacting law to force reduction of minutes to
each hour. There is class of men who think
they should earn enough in four or five months
in the summer to keep them idle the rest of the
year Another class of men will work possibly
$50 days in the year but only few hours each
day, and this despite the fact that we must win
the war To us. it seems that we should put our
shoulder to the wheel and push all the time.
But instead of that We are joining the l Won't
Work class rapidly. If win the war, it will
not be due to our exertion. but our luck, for we
won't work
