Crew of British Ship
Set Adrift After Huns
Torpedo and Shell Boai

LONDON, June pa new and
fragrant example Of German subma-
rine barbarity is reported by the news
papers.
A U-boat first torpedoed without
warning and then shelled British
steamer. When the officers and crew
of the damaged vessel took to the
boats, they were ordered alongside the
submarine and forced to go on its
deck, the captain being taken below
as prisoner
AS the steamer had not yet sunk,
the captain ordered some of the Brit
ish to row one of their two boats back
to her with German prize crew
which rifled the steamer systemat-
ically and then sank her with three
bombs. u -
After having been employed for
nearly five hours in the work, the
British were given some provisions
and cast adrift. The same treatment
was dealt out to the others of the
crew, numbering %. Of the % men in
the second boat, only five survived
until she was picked up four days lat
er: The occupants of the first boat
were picked up in very serious con-
dition on the fifth day by an American
steamer.

CHICAGO, June 20.-Omcial notlce
that the food administration license
of commission merchants does nol
cover the carrying of cash grain lot
customers who are not licensed,
brought about general selling today In
the corn market Prices declined
sharply in consequence. Big receipts
here tended also to weaken prices.
Onerinp quotations, which ranged
from half cent to rs lower with July
144ss to 145ss and August 146h TO
1861, were followed by an addiuonai
set back.
Oats like corn weakened owing 10

ports Of excessive heat in the South
west failed to check the down turns.
After opening rs to IL lower with
July 721a to 72A, the market raiiieu q

and hogs. Houses with stock yard
connections were the chief sellers.
