OF U-BOAT EXPLOIT
Sinking Of Diamond Shoals
Lightship and Steamer
Merak Described.

NEW YORK. August s.-The German
submarine which sunk the Diamond
shoals lightship and the American
steamer Merak Tuesday afternoon was
last seen in pursuit of and shelling
with two guns a lumber-laden steam
schooner and a tramp steamship OF
about 1000 tons. This was learned
today on the arrival here of the ofh-
GERS and crew of the destroyed Merak
Tho Merak when attacked. the off,
GERS said. was about three miles north
of the lightship. and the work of her
destruction was interrupted long
enough for the submarine to disable
with gunfire the light vessels wire
less apparatus. After the Merak had
been sunk by bombs the U-boat turn
ed full attention to the lightship and
sent her to the bottom. This work
had no sooner been completed when
the lumber schooner and the tramp
hove into sight, and the submarine
put after them. and so close were they
together that the Germans were able
to fire on both vessels at the same
time. using guns mounted fore and
aft on the submersible's deck.
Fight Apparently Protracted.
Five hours later. as the boats con-
tanning the Merak's crew were ap-
preaching the North Carolina coast.
the men could still hear cannonading.
indicating the sinking Of the two
ships had not been completed. or that
the submarine was engaged with some
other craft.
I'VE were fired upon by the subma-
rine." an officer of the Merak said.
'at 1:45 pm. We were within three
miles of the lightship and we took up
a zigzag course toward the shore, hop
ing to escape. We hit on the shoals.
however and as shells from the sub
marine were falling all about US. some
striking the bridge. we abandoned the
ship. taking to the boats.
The submarine then desisted in her
fire on us. turned its attention to the
lightship. and with few shots put
the wireless out of commission. A
boat with several men was then sent
from the submarine to the Merak, and
in a few moments she blew up. The
Germans then began shelling the
lightship and soon sank her.

"oh, IL only there were not the
te itle hurry in which the German
50 'er does his duty even against
t'le innocent inhabitants! Many an
explanation could be given. many a
distinction could be made. If the
conn anders understood how to talk
to the inhabitants in the right way,
to calm them, and to divide leniency
and severity. the soldier would learn
from this example and feel a much
greater, and both Tor himself and
for the enemy more beneficial su-

TRAINING FOR YOUNG BULLS
Should Be Taught to Be Led by Halter
When Quite Young--Care|ake
Must Be Master.

When quite young, the bull should
be trained to be led by halter. BY
the time he is year old, strong ring
should be inserted in his nose so he
can be led by staff. It is not safe TO
try to lead grown bull merely by a
halter or rope fastened to his ring. In
leading by the staff, the caretaker
should always walk at the side and
never in front of the bull. One of the
essentials in training the young bull is
that he must be taught that his care
talzer is his muster. Bulls known to
be vicious usually are handled with
care, with the result that fewer acci-
dents are likely to occur with them
than with those considered gentle.
