PREFERRED DEATH
TO BEING CAPTURED
Crew on German Submarine Were Given
Chance to Rise to the Surface and
Surrender, But They Declined.

London, July 80 British Wireless
Service) A sea sport which has ariser
out of the war-hunting German sub
marines by airship-is described in The
Times The writer's story concludes
with telling how the crew of the U-boat
apparently preferred death to being cap
tured.
One of the crew of an airship spotted
a submarine lying on the bed of the
ocean, in fairly shallow water.
The wireless spanked" reads the &C,
count in The Times, "and soon away on
the horizon there appeared little de.
stroyer, followed far astern by foul
squat trawlers, all racing toward the
spot above which the airship cruised
around.
'The destroyer came up first, of course
and it was not long before, guided by
wireless instructions, her guns were
trained in readiness to greet the unsus-
pecting U-boat should it bob to the sur.
face. 1t seemed ages to the impatient
crew before the trawlers arrived but
things moved rapidly once they were at
the scene of action, for they knew their
Job of old.
Working in pairs they approached
their victim from opposite directions
steaming toward each other, Between
each pair strong sweep" was stretched
and allowed to hang in huge loop that
it might traverse the sea bed The yes
sells met and crossed each others tracks
Immediately above the doomed craft. The
sweeps of either pair engaged the u
boat fore and aft simultaneously and
held her in gigantic cradle.
"Thus far the German boat had shown
no signs of alarm, although those with
her must have heard the churning of the
trawlers' screws. Now she suddenly
seemed to awake to the menace that
threatened her" The article goes on to
describe the fate of the submarine. "She
wriggled and squirmed about in a frantic
endeayor to escape, but it was useless
Not loophole was there to be found
and at length, realizing the helplessness
of her plight, she ceased to struggle. This
fact was duly wirelessed by those on
board the airship to the destroyer below
Trapped securely, the enemy vessel could
still rise to the surface did she so desire
and, to give her an opportunity to do so
the British craft now waited for several
minutes. She preferred to lie still; and
so, at tagged signal from the destroy
err, the starboard foremost trawler and
the port aft one attached tin of high
explosives to each Of the cradle wires
and allowed it to slide downwards until
it rested upon the U.boat's hull. Then
those in the airship tagged signal and
upon the two trawlers two firing keys
were pressed.
Followed then the uprising of gey.
ser of water, and when the troubled
ocean became calm, of the submarine
there was no trace other than an extern
sive patch of oil floating upon the sur
face of the sea"

HAVE NO FAITH
nv GOVERNMENT
German Colonists in Russia Plan to Emil
crate to United States or Canada If
Germany Does Not Protect Them.


Amsterdam, July 30-"There is not a
single German colonist in Russia who
places the smallest faith in the Russian
government. Our minds are made up.
If Germany does not protect US with a
strong hand there is only one way out,
namely, to emigrate to the United States
or Canada"
This is the statement of Pastor Jo-
names Schleuning, who has come to Ber-
I'm representing the interests of so-called
Wolga Germans, farming colony of
100000 persons established along that
river.
After the Brest- Litovsk peace. Schleun-
ing returned from three years Danish
ment in Siberia and made himself spokes-
man Of 100000 German settlers spread
over different regions of Russia
According to his statement, the col
onists were Incorporated in the Russian
army, first sent to the Russo German
front and then some 100000 were trans
ferred to the Caucasus. There they I'M
derwent terrible sufferings, thousands
died, those staying at home had their
properties confscated, were reduced to
beggary and the bolsheyiki completed
their ruin.
Wolga colonists now ask TO be assisted
back to Germany or permitted to settle
in the Baltic provinces. Failing this
they intend TO emigrate to America, de-
clares Schleuning, who thus places before
the German government a problem filled
with peculiar difficulties.

PHILADELPHIA A
CITY OF STRANGERS
Is Crowded as Never Before--Shipyards
Munitions Plants and Other Factories
Doing War Work Are Calling
People In.

Philadelphia, July 30-This city is
crowded as never before The influx OF
strangers from all parts Of the United
States to toll in shipyards, munitions
plants and in other places where govern.
ment work Is being done has greatly in
tensified the housing problem.
| Few houses are available for renters.
A ITO Let" sign is scarcely ever seen ex-
eept in sections well removed from the
industrial plants.
Because Of the high cost Of building
materials relatively few houses are go
ing up, apart from those being CON
structed by the government for shipyard
operations until after the war.
Withal the problem of finding accom-
modations for everyone is slowly being
solved, and after time many families
who have been forced to share homes
with others probably will be able to get
places of their own.
Rents, in keeping with other things,
have taken an upward bound, sharply in
some instances. Steps have been taken
to prevent profiteering but there has been
no governmental objection TO advances
where conditions warranted them

can claim so large number Of property
owners as Philadelphia. Real estate men
figure that within the past year more
homes were purchased here than in the
three preceding years
Where it was formerly possible to
clear a real estate transaction in few
weeks, it now requires as many months
Clerks in title and trust company offices
have been compelled to work nights, as
well as days, and even then they have

task
Because of the keen demand for homes
real estate valuations have increased
many millions, and official figures which
win be published later on are expected
to show phenomenal increased growth
over those of 1917,
The abnormal inquiry by home seekers
is attributed to the high wages paid to
men engaged in government work.

THE QUOTA FOR
COUNTY ANNOUNCED

Audubon county will be called on
to buy $220,000.00 worth of new
Liberty Bonds, according to word
just received from John A. Cava-
nagh, vice president of the Des
Moines National Bank and chairman
OF the Quota Committee for Iowa in
the Third Liberty Bond drive, soon
TO be begun. Instead of apportion-
ing the amount to the various coun-
ties in Iowa according to their pop
ulation, Mr.. Cavanagh has appor-
toned the amount to this county and
to all the other SO counties, accord
ing to the banking resources. This
is considered much more fair and
satisfactory.
The experience derived from the
first two drives will be used to a
good advantage in Iowa in the Third
Liberty Bond drive. Mr.. Cavanagh
contended that the population was
not the right basis on which to ap-
portion the quotas, for prosperity
does not always or necessarily keep
pace with the population. He ar
gued that it would be much fairer
to ask the various counties and the
various individuals to contribute ac-
cording to their financial worth, and
this is how the quota of this county
and all the others here in Iowa are
figured out. Banking resources in
clude cash on hand in the banks,
notes, real estate owned, and, in fact
all the banks assets. The sum total
of all the resources of all the banks
in this county was figured out. The
Liberty bond quota was then deter
mined in the proportion which these
county banking resources bear to
the banking resources of the entire
state. This simply means that all
the counties in Iowa will be called
upon to do their bit proportionate
to their means and that the Third
Liberty Bond drive Will be system
atized much better than the first
two. Mr.. Cavanagh has just return
ed to Des Moines from Washington,
where he was in conference with the
officials of the Treasury Department
and authorized the announcement Of
this county's quota as stated above

YELLOW GARD TO BE
BADGE OF STACKER

Beware OF the yellow card! 1t is
the Stacker card. 1t amounts to the
same thing as a dishonorable dis
charge from the army, except the
yellow card will be for civilians only.
So reads a statement issued from the
office of the state chairman of the
Liberty Loan.
These yellow cards will be carried
by all the official statesmen of Liber-
ty bonds. The government is deter
mined to know who are the financial
slackers throughout the country. 1t
wants to know who are the men and
women who are amply able to back
up the government by loaning money
and buying Liberty Bonds. yet refuse
to do so. The yellow cards will be
used to detect these persons.
During the first and second Liber-
ty bond campaigns solicitors were re-
quested to report the names of those
who were able TO purchase bonds and
who failed to do so. This was not
generally, however. This time the
order has gone out definitely requir-
ing each salesman or solicitor to re-
port on a yellow card every person
who is able to buy the third issue
of Liberty bonds and who refuses to
do so.
These yellow cards mean that the
individuals whose names are written
thereon are slackers-not true Am
orleans. Statesmen are requested to
use very careful judgment in making
out the cards to be sure no yellow
card is made out for person finan-
cially unable to buy bonds. The yell
low card is for the financial Stacker.
These yellow cards will be turned
over to the county chairman, who
with an executive committee, will
pass upon them to make sure that
no injustice has been done. The
chairman will then communicate
with the person whose name is so re-
ported and such person will be given
an opportunity to do his share be-
fore the cards are sent to the federal
reserve director at Chicago. II the
individual responds the yellow card
will be destroyed. II not, the card
will be forwarded to Washington for
action BY government agents.
