British Government Publishes
Names of German Subma-
rine Commanders.
MANY OFFICERS DEAD
London Officials Act to Prove Recent
Statement Of Premier David
Lloyd George That $50 Sub
marines Have Been Sunk.

London, Sept. Although the Brit
fish government does not intend to
adopt the practice of giving proof of
official u%tteranees made by it's minis
ters, it has been thought desirable to
print in the newspapers the names
OF the commanding officers of $50
German submarines which have been
disposed of in order to substantiate
the statement of Premier Lloyd George
in the House of Commons that AT
least $50 of these ocean pests have
been destroyed"
The statement published does not in
clude the names of officers command
ing Austrian submarines put out of
action.
A majority Of the $50 officers men,
toned are dead.
Some of them are prisoners of war
and a few r interned in neutral coun-
tries where they took refuge.
Among the officers named are:
"Kapitan Lieut.. Schweiger, who,
while in command of the U-20 tor
pedoed the Lusitania in May, 1915.
Inc OTAO WdS lOSI on the DdnlSQ coast
in 1916, but Schweiger survived and
was in command of the U-30, which
was lost with all hands in September.
1917.
Kapitan Lieut.. Paul Wagenfuker,
who sank the steamer Belgian Prince,
July 81, 1917, and drowned 40 OF the
crew, whom he had ordered to line up
on the submarines deck when the
U-boat was about to submerge. His
submarine the U-44 was sunk with all
hands about a fortnight later.
Kapitan Lieut.. Rudolph Schneider,
who torpedoed the steamer Arabic in
August, 1915"
The statement says It is significant
that the authors of particularly afro
cious crimes have expiated them
speedily after their commission. 1t
says the m of such men are care
fully noted by the British Admiralty
and that special endeavors are made
to bring their active careers to an
end.
Several commanders, 1t is added.
have escaped r%etribution by finding
refuge in shore appointments.
