GERMAN SAILORS DRUNK. Captain Wraps American Flag Around
 Him and Does a Dance.

Nantucket, Mass, Aug. 13.-An American flag, torn from the. mast head of the little schooner Lena May, one of the fishermen sunk by a Ger man submarine off the New England coast Saturday was taken aboard the enemy craft by German officer who wrapped it around his neck and gave a grotesque exhibition of dancing, while his men, each armed with a re- volver, looked on and cheered.
 Hun Sailors Drunk.
 This was the story told here today by survivors of the vessel, who were forced to witness the performance. The fishermen had been ordered aboard the U-boat, where ten of them steed against the coming tower to be photographed. As they were being lined up for the picture they were jeered by the U-Boat crew, and knocked about when they failed to move as rapidly as the commander or dered. The mate of the Lena May de- clared that the Germans were drunk.
 "At least they were half shot," he said. "You would have thought that too, had you seen the dance of the German officer with the Stars and Stripes draped about his shoulders and heard the cheering as the flag was finally flung down and stamped on, amid shrieks from our captors. And you would have thought again they were drunk when finding side of fresh beef in our gallery, they set up roar that resembled that which comes from a crowd at a ball game. The way they cheered made me think they were half starved"
 Exhibit Flag in Germany.
 A member of the submarine crew who spoke English rather brokenly was asked why they wanted photo graph:
 "That goes back to Germany" he replied, "to show what we do over here. We have quite a lot of them. They look good in Berlin"
 All of the men from the Lena May and Earl and Nettie, another fisher man sent down by gunfire, said they received outrageous treatment at the hands of the Germans. Rising to the surface in the midst of the fleet the submarine commander found more vessels than he could sink immediate ly. They were told to stand by and await destruction.
 In the desire to obtain food and clothing, the commander set out in a dory and to save his own men iron, rowing. Captain Frank Lynch of the Lena May and two other fishermen were required to man the boat. They were ordered repeatedly to hurry. Germans Jeered Victims. The continual jeering of the Ger. mans got on the nerve fthe fisher. men but they remained quiet, as the sight of many revolvers showed tha, they would have no chance if they offered resistance. There was fresf outburst of jeering as the fishermen boarded their dory and pulled away.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For six weeks I have been
acquainted with a young man.
whom have. learned to love.
This man. although he says he
cares, goes about with other
young women and boasts OF his
good times to me.
Would be doing right by ask
ing him just how he feels to-
ward me, as the suspense OF
learning the truth is becoming
unbearable? ". G.
IT Is easy enough for a man t.
say he cares for a girl. but
merely talking does not prove
friendship. II you ask him just
what his feelings are. my dear
he may tell you merely what hiI
romantic nature suggests. Use
your logic Instead. II he has very
little spare time. and spends part
OF II with other friends. evidently
you are not necessary TO him. Per-
haps he likes 70 tell you about
these good times Just to Impress
you Don't be Jealous or demand
any explanations from him. Just
regard him for the present as .
pleasant acquaintance. and try : !
good nature and tact and swe6 .
ness to make yourself really
pealing 20 him. Demanding won
get you anything. but winning and
earning will.
