CREW OF us TO GO
TO FORT MCPHERSON
Captives of Nicholson and
Tanning First Prisoners of
War Here
New York, April 70.


Ciustaf Anberger, commander of the
German submarine U-5S, and thirty
eight of his men, captured by the
United States torpedobOat dcstroycrs
flaming and Nicholson on November -,
when the German submarine was sunk
after an attack on an American convoy,
are to be interned at Fort Mcpherson,
Ga.
They are the first captiyeS Of the war
to be imprisoned in this country. Official
announcement was made by the Navy
Department yesterday that Anberger
and his crew were brought to the United
States ON the same transport that
brought Secretary Of War Baker back
from France.
The other officers with Anberger are
Over-Lieutenant Otto van Ringen, Ma
rine, Ober- Engineer Paul Schroether, Re
serve Lieutenant Frederick Muller and
Warrant officer Henry Ropke.
The prisoners have been held in Eng
land since last November. The men
apparently like the change and are I'm
good spirits. They owe their lives 10
the Yankee way of fighting, which is
stranger to the spurlos versenkt method
CT the boche.
The U-5S was skimming the sea three
days away from Europe when a cox
swain, on the Tanning saw it's periscope.
The Fanning spurted forward at tho
thiIty-three knot gait that smashed
naval records and bore down upon the
undersea boat, dropping depth charges.
Then the Nicholson got in tho game
and dropped three depth charges, which
brought the periscope to the surface
again. The first depth charge had
wrecked the engine Of the U-bOat. An
other depth charge landed on the nose
OF the submarine as il came to the sur
face near merchant vessel, and that
finished her
Anberger and his crew came on deck
and surrendered. As they did the boat
rolled and convulsed until II sank, car
rying the Germans into the water en-
tangled in the radio apparatus. They
were so weak and exhausted that Amer
fcan jaclSies had to swim over to them
and haul them TO the Tanning, where
they were drawn up by life lines. The
Germans were happy at being rescued.

ALL WAR PROFITEERS

Extra Money "Abstracted

People"

Food Administrator Tells How u.
s. Can Feed Allies in Pitts
burgh Speech
Pittsburgh. April 10.

AlAsbuIBus ApIl ~
Predicting the time is coming when
those 'who work with their hands will
obtain a larger portion OF the worlds
goods than those who work with their
brain" Herbert Hoover, national food
administrator, addressing 700 persons
At the annual banquet Of the Pittsburgh
Press Club, declared that as the result
OF active participation in the backwash
and misery OF the world war since its
first day he has seen growing out Of the
masses Of people in every country aspi-
rhtions for great economic change.
The food administrator scored the war
prohteer, regardless of whether laborcr,
manufacturer, middleman or retailer
and declared that every cent taken be-
yond the pre-war standard is money
abstracted from the blood and sacrifice
Of the. American people"
Il do not believe that any person in
these United States has a right to make
ole cent more profit out of any employ
ment than he would have made under
pre-war conditions / do not care whether
this refers to the farmer. the laborer,
the manufacturer, the middeman or the
retailer. | do not believe that cxtortion-
ate profits are necessary to secure the
maximum effort on the part Of the
American people in this war. If we are
going to adopt that theory, we have adj
mittsd everything that has been charged
against us Of being the most material
istic. the most avarcious and the most
venal people i'm this world.
1T we are going to admit that the
Government. I'm order to secure the su-
preme effort of its citizens in production,
must bribe them with money to this eN-
ira eNertion We have admitted a weak
ness of American character, of American
civilization and Of American ideals that
puts us on a plane below German kultur.
do not mistake that l am saying
that prices and wages should return to
the pre-war normal, because the incl
dents Of war before we joined it had
lifted our costs OF operation and there
must be compensation in every direc-
tion. Nevertheless, ! hold that any
man who has made more than his ncces-
sary. living out of the cost this nation
is giving in the blood of the boys we
are sending to France should not stand
out as benefaCtor to his community.
"It is true that this doctrine has
been made law only to the larger food
trades. | am confident that profiteerng
has. from a national point OF view, dis
appeared in the regulated food trades,
and my belief is that It should be APP
piled generally to all business. It Is
also my belief that before we are fin
ished with this war that will have been
done.
North America is the greatest factor
in the Allied food pool and in the final
analysis it might become necessary for
the Allies TO live virtually on our sup
plies. Our ability TO supply the Allied
world with food lies in four directions"
MIR. Hoover continued"

0ITTHI not women camouneurs j
w the American Army?


There are thousands OF them in
France working in the factories behind
the lines. Camounage is one part of the
service in which women can do large
part of the work as well as men. If in
no other; for while they can't work on
tho battlefield, there is certainly a
tremendous amount TO be done in the
factories; they paint guns, materials,
things that do not have to be used on
tho spur Of the moment. If We didn't
feel that VIC would be useful we wouldn't
be trying so hard to interest people in
the womans camounage corps"
This statement was made by ATIss
Katherine Munoz, who with Miss Flea
nor Arnctt, Miss Elizabeth Pilsbury and
several other Philadelphia girls is en-
deavoring to raise a corps of women to

that they will certainly prove their
ability for it," said Miss Munoz.
The training is along absolutely mill
tary lines: the students gust appear in
uniform and submit to formal milf
tarv discipline, Already the gssts. have
been drilled several times in Court
landt Park in New Tork, Miss Munoz
said, adding: "And incidentally, we
were told to keep Oft the grass Then
some one lent the class some land to
experiment on. They said they hoped
we wouldn't ruin it, and VIC pointed out
that that wasn't our object at all we
might conceal u lot Of things like trees
and rocks from the ordinary eye. but
we couldn't possibly ruin anything"
