300 Believed to Have Lost Lives When Hirano Maru
 Is Sent to Bottom
SCENE OF HORROR
 IS INDESCRIBABLE
Boats Shelled by Sea Pirate, and Hundreds of Women and Chil-
 dren Are Sent to Watery Grave

A British Port, Monday, Oc-
 tober 7.-(By the Associated
 Press. 1.-The Japanese steam
 ship Hirano Maru, of 1886 tons
 gross, has been torpedoed and
 sunk. It is feared that 300 lives were lost.
 The Hirano Maru was outbound for Japan and carried about 200 passengers. The, vessel was tor pedoed and sunk by German sub marine early on Friday morning. when about 300 miles south of Ire land.
 The few survivors who were picked up by the American torpedo-boat de- ,stroyer Sterrett have been brought here. They declare that the torpedo struck
 the steamer in the forward engine room. Nothing remained for those on board,
 including the women and children, but to plunge into the ocean. large number however, went down with the ship. The vessel disappeared within
 seven minutes after being struck by the torpedo.
 The scene was indescribabIe. The ] weather was had. The cries of the | drowning were hear-rending. Everybody had been supplied 1 life belts, hut only the strongest i were able to stand the exposure. Providentially, the commander of the American destroyer Sterret heard the explosion. He found the ship had dis appeared and he saw mass of peo- pie struggling in the water The American warship picked up 30 persons, one of whom died while being brought ashore. FEW ARE SAVED Among the survivors were these pas sengers in the first cabin: A. A. Young. Louis Durmon l A. B. AslSlaca. T. H. Butler. 1 Fred j. Karscn. Abou 22 membe CTS of the Japanese crew were rescued.
 FIRES AT WARSHIP | While the American destroyer sterret was engaged in the work of mercy and picking up the men and women strug- { gling in the water, the German subma : | rine fired two torpedoes at the war ship. Both missiles happily missed their mark. After making a thorough search for survivors the Sterret headed for ! the submarine, firing several shots and dropping depth charges. l The Hirano Maru was built at Naga- saka in 1908 and was owned by the

An Atlantic Port, October 10. Scores of American sailors and soldiers were killed or wound ed by shrapnel fired by a Ger man submarine after it had torpedoed the s. s.

 20 who arrived here today are be-

 which was not demolished by the
 shell fire from the submarine, they
 said.
 Seventeen of the men who reac he'd port were members of a detachment of soldiers detailed to care for horses which were being transported.
 ATTACK ED OCTOBER Z The Ticonderoga was attacked pre- sumably on October 2, when she fell behind her convoy because of engine trouble.
 According to the survivors, the sub marine was not sighted until she had sent torpedo crashing into the side of the ship. The torpedo did not strike vital spot, however, and the captain crowded on full steam in an effort to escape, at the same time ordering the gun crews into action against tle sub marine which appeared about a mile off.
 FEW SHOTS FIRED
 Our gun crews did not fire more than five shots one of the survivors said. "The forward gun was shot away all most at once. The after gun and it's crew was done for almost as quickly. Then the men went to the boats, but lit was no use, as the flying shrapnel was spraying the decks and men feIl in scores either killed or badly wounded" Another survivor declared that all of the Ticonderoga's eight lifeboats, with tthe exception of one, were riddled with shrapnel before they could be launched. l A number of men who tried to get into the eighth boat were killed by shrapnel as they clambered over the side Of the veSSel, ne Salo- .FinalIy," this survivor contin- ued. tone of oar men. ia desperR- tion, swam close to the submarine l and hailed mn officer, asking him in l Gods name to stop hring.

EFFECT OF DETECTION

Even laymen. however. can appreciate what tremendous effect upon the speedy ending of the war the defection of either of those nations from alliance with Ger many would cause. It was Bulgaria s exit from the theatre of war which pre- cipitated the appeal for afmistice from the Germans, along with the splendid ucI inc they were receiving on the bat tleae q.

business in the main,is to fight
But how about the work O
those back Of the lines?
l have in mind, as a prelude
two major-league ball clubs. Th'
first team had the leadership ant
the material to win with. There
was no question Of this. But the
fan support at home was lacking
both in the way Of attendance
and direct Encouragement. The
home fans apparently took il
for granted their club would
win the pennant and for this, OF
other reasons, were lukewarm in
their support, and over-critical OF
any managerial or playing mis-
takes.
The result was a purely human
turn. The club finally became dis
couraged, began to sag in morale,
began to wonder just what the
use was in playing for that type
of support. Needless to say it
lost the flag. The second team
had good. average material, but
nothing bordering upon the in
vincible. But it carried the full
and complete support of its home
fans who paid their money at
the box office and who stood
back of the club on the field. as
loyal in defeat as in victory.
Back in the grand stand and in
the bleachers they helped to
FIGHT for their club. This team.
with it's morale finely nodded
by such support, fought its way

es. They are not what might have

War is only a game upon a

Brookings, S. D.-State col

The appeals for information re-

states are worse off than South

is nothing to brag about, ac-

are now coming from Wisconsin,
Iowa, North Dakota, Montana
and Minnesota.
The following is the definite

urged to sort over their sound

one kernel from each ear and
