Aug. 27.-German soldiers released
from captivity in Russia have begun
to arrive on the western front, it has
been learned from prisoners cap
tured in recent battles.
One hundred of these men who
returned to Germany through the
Ukraine were sent to a reserve di-
vision. Eighteen deserted before the
detachment got out of Germany,
while three were killed in jumping
from a railroad train. The others
reached their destination in re-

from this division agree that the
men returned from Russia make the
poorest kind of reinforcements. They
are not only ill-humored. it is de-
clared, but resent all discipline.

Lieut.. Schwieger Captured by
French Patrol Boat, Says

Tried to Throw Papers Over
board Which Explained
His UneasineSS
BY associated Press

Paris, Aug. 27.-Lieut. Schwieger,
who sank the Lusitania, has been
captured by French patrol boat in
the Mediterranean, according to La
Journal. A large submarine of which
he was second in command, had just
torpedoed a British steamer between
Malta and Sicily. The German was
waiting to see the vessel sink when
two French patrol boats emerged
from the fog and sank the U-boat. OF
the crew of rs only one officer and
four men were rescued by the patrol
boats.
While being taken to Toulon the
officer appeared i'll at ease. When he
thought no one was looking he tried
to throw some papers overheard but
a sailor seized his arm. He refused
to answer questions but an eXamina-
ton of the papers explained his un-
easiness.
A dispatch from Toulon last Fri
Gay which described the sinking of a
German submarine In the Mediter-
ranean by patrol boats. added that
the mate of the submarine attempted
to commit suicide when brought on
board a rescue ship. The man APP
peared to be insane and was report
ed to have declared the lost U-boat
had torpedoed the Lusitania.
The German admiralty, according
to advices from London on August 10
has admitted Lieut.. Schwieger was
killed when a U-boat he command
ed struck a mine in the North Sea
| The dispatch said his death occurred
| in September, 1917.
