STOLE FORT PLANS FROM
DRUNKEN ENEMY OFFICER
Injured in Service, But Enlists as
Red Cross Ambulance
Man

CHICAGO, June GA graphic
story of his capture by a German
submarine when the liner Arcadia
was torpedoed last November and
his later escape from a prison
camp after he had killed two sem
tries and stolen plans of the har-
bors of Ostend and Zeebrugge, was
given by Henry Friessman on his
arrival in Chicago to enlist as an
ambulance driver for the Red Cross.
Friessman was recently given an
honorable discharge from the navy
because of a wound he received
when he dived from the deck OF
the submarine which attacked the
.rcadia to rescue his brother.
After ordering the six surviving
sailors of the Arcadia below he
said, 1.-The submarine was submerged,
and only IL of the so civilians on
her deck managed to reach a life
raft. l was kept a prisoner on the
craft without food or drink for 90
hours, during which time the Ger
mans tried to force me to give them
information by winding wire about
nv body and tightening it.
Il was taken to Ostend as a pris-
oner and for ~ days l was held
here. During this time 1 became &C
quainted with two English officers
and four American soldiers VINO
were taken in the first drive.
ION Feb. 90 we made our escape
in German uniforms. l stole some
plans from one of the German Off
GERS who was sleeping after a ca
rouse. Later I turned these papers,
which were the plans of the harbors
of Ostend and Zeebrugge, over to the
naval authorities and IL days later
the great raid was made.
Zone of the English officers had
cut a hole through the barb wire
ntanglements surrounding our camp
and through this we made our es-
cape, after killing two sentries. We
made u way across Belgium and
Holland and thence to England"

will at once begin driving lateral
cross-cuts and drifts in the search
for an orebody. A powerful pump is
to be installed when this point is
in order 20 guard against

from present signs it does not APP
pear likely that the water will be
found here in sufficient volume to
impede progress.
Reorganized Kewanas
In the northern part of the Ke-
wanas property a cross-cut is be-
ing driven west from the main
north drift, at a depth of $40 feet,
for the purpose of exploring the
shale contact zone at a point where
it appears to have been displaced
by fault action. Directly east OF
this point and in line with its dip,
ere of high grade was found al
several points and some of this ore
was shipped to the smelters. Quartz
Of good appearance has been show
ing in the cross-cut and it is be-
ljeved that an additional short dis.
lance will bring the cross-cut to
the ore-bearing zone.
Reorganized Blue Bull
A raise is now being driven from
the lately extended drift on the
25O-foot level to connect with the
vinze from the 100 level and to
seek the downward continuation OF
the rich ore-shoot exposed above

HUN ADMIRAL
BELITTLES
AMERICA
yOy CAPELLE TELLS GERMANS
UNITED STATES DOING
LITTLE

NEW YORK June 6. Ameri-
IAN participation in the war n the
light against German submarines
and in the ship-building program
we're belittled by Vice Admiral Won
Capelle German minister of the
navy, in his speech in the reichstag
a few weeks ago, as reported by
German newspapers received here.
The military help of America
in the first year of the war was
very little regarding troops and
airplanes," declared Won Capelle.
THE expectation of our enemies
has been greatly disappointed. If
America later wants to maintain
half a million troops in France it
will need permanently a freight
space Tin steamships of about q
100000 tons, which again would
be deprecated from the service of
supplying her allies.
According to American and
British statements, the participa-
ton of such a large army is no
longer involved in this campaign.
I'm order to carry out the gil
eantic American program of ship
ping construction, the s~hipyards
must first be built. In 1917 Amer
lea, following all their huge prom
Uses, built 10000 gross tons of
sea-going ships. The large mer-
chant fleet which America has or
dered Is not being built for the
war, but in order to take the place
of England as the worlds shipper
after the war when the ships will
have been completed"
Discussing the economic situa-
ton created by Americas entrance
into the war Won Capelle pointel
out that the United States was the
most important source of supplies
for the entente nations, but, he
added:
TWINS " Tic "eIueuuO
armament program of President
Wilson, such economic difficulties
have developed that America, the
land of export, must now begin to
ration herself instead, as had been
hoped, to aid the entente nations
in increasing measures. All in all,
IT can be said hat the economic
difficulties of our enemies have
been increased by Americas en-
trance into the war"
In reply to charges hat the Ger
man submarine building program
was not progressing as rapidly as.
it should, Won Capelle admitted
that Germany's enemies had at
tanned certain successes in their
defensive measures against the u
boats. But" he added, they
have at no time affected the U-boat
warfare in any way d~ecisively and,
according to foresight. will not be
able to do so in the future.

over which much fuss has been

vantages. There is not a day in

WAR FUND IS
FAR over
QUOTA
ESMERALDA COUNTY MADE
SPLENDID RECORD IN
LATE CAMPAIGN

A leLIeT u w. .. IuiiiipS' Chdii
man of the second war fund cam
paign of the American Red Cross
in Esmeralda county, from John
B. Miller, Pacific division chair
man, says that while final returns
are not yet available, the figures
in hand show that the Pacific divi-
sion, which includes Nevada, ex-
ceeded it's quota of $3,T0O,000 by
more than $~2,S51,000 and that
practically one-half of the popula-
ton subscribed to the Red Cross.
The division chairman declares
this a magnificent response to the
greatest of all human causes" and
extends the thanks of the Red Cross
to those who worked for and con
tributed to the fund.
The total amount raised in Es-
meralda county for the Red Cross
war-fund was ~$6,545.55, including
pledges. The cash subscriptions
amounted to ~$5,72S.55 and the
pledges to $S17. There were 1925
cash subscribers and 112 pledges.
In Goldfield 1880 subscribers
contributed ~$4,237.45 in cash, in
Hornsilver Al contributed $215.75,
Millers, 40; $263.50; Silver Peak
SO, $S2.65; Divide 40, $500; Cuprite
~, $4,000. The Patterson and
Giroux ranch contributed $500,
Molini's ranch $195.65 and the
Chiatovich ranch 1872. Eighteen
subscribers in Ida gave $41.05.
Eleven pledges in Goldffeld
amounted to $163.5O, eight at
Molini's, to $48; 81 at Millers, to
$370.5O; 35 at Hornsilver, to $197;
seven at the Chiatovich ranch to
$3S.
Including the pledges, there were
1887 subscribers in the county, or
only 314 more than in the last
Liberty loan, which shows better
than anything else that has yet APP
peared the complete way in which
the county was covered in the loan.
In the loan Goldfield had 1926
subscribers, or 154 less than in
the var fund.
The war fund drive has proved
another surprise to persons who
have been in the habit of under
estimating the resources of the
county, as it was freely said before
the campaign started that it would
be difficult to reach $4,000. The
final figures show that the county
over-subscribed it quota of $4,000
by the sum of ~$2545.55 or more
than $500 IN excess of a 50-per cent
over-subscription on the big quota
which was voluntarily accepted
here.
From the list of war-fund sub
scribers published Saturday there
was omitted the name of j. F. JOY
ner, who subscribed 81 and Mrs.
and Mrs. j. J. Joyner should have
been credited with 81.

An order issued to a Bavarian in fantry regiment reveals a condition of affairs that up to this time would have been thought unbelievable in an army notorious for the strlctness of its discipline. The commanding off, Ger wrote on June 25:
 While making a tour of the line this morning I came across complete sections fast asleep in spite of It's be- ing dawn and misty. These sections had removed their equipment and had not the faintest idea of the country, of dispositions, of their or ders or of the troops on their Hanks. ,
 Much activity continues behind the German front, but the infantry ha. remained very quiet since the be- ginning of the present German of fensive around Rheims.
 No attempt has been made to re cover the ground lost at Ridge wooC on Monday when the British captured 341 men and seven officers. The Ger mans have remained passive. Repeat ] ed British thrusts around Bailleul Only the artillery has indulged in re l taliation.
