U-Boat Destroyed,
CvesO Captured, Their
Prisoners Rescued

LONDON, May 6.---An account has
just reached London from a Dutch cor
respondent of the destruction of the
German submarine U-C-39 and the capt
ure Of seventeen of her crew by a
British destroyer.
The German submarine U-C-39 was
sunk in the North Sea in March. 1917 |
The UC-39 was commanded by Otto /
Ehrentraut, who was close friend Of
Prince Henry of Prussia and a fire. !

at Kiel. Before Ehrentraut left Kiel in
command of the new mine-laying sub
marine, Princess Henry came to the
pier to wish the boat bon voyage
The submarine left it's base at mid
night, carrying several torpedoes and

but no mines, as this was her first trip
and in the nature of shakedown for
the officers and men. All of her per-
sOnnel had seen service in other sub
marines.
First Victim a Neutral
The submarine secured her first
victim by sinking the Norwegian
steamship Hanskinck formerly the
American Satlla), the crew of which
escaped in boats. Next midnight the
SO sighted the British steamer Hanna
Larsen, which was sunk by bombs after
her captain and chief engineer we're
taken aboard the submarine as prison
ers.
The next morning the Norwegian
steamship Ida was sighted, and al
though the Ida stopped Immediately,
Ehrentraut gave personal orders to
continue firing. When the German gun
layer saw that the ship had stopped

he asked if he should cease firing, and
was told by the commander to keep on.
twenty-five rounds in all were fired.

5000 yards.
When the Germans finally ceased
firing, one of the Ida's boats came
alongside and announced that two
wounded men had been left aboard the
steamer. The submarine commander
sent a boat over and found that both
men were already dead, having been
killed while lowering the boats The
Germans left the bodies where they
lay and proceeded to sink the shin
with bombs.
Bagged by Destroyer
Two hours later the submarine
opened fire on a steamer and trawler,
but on diving lost them in the mist.
About p. m. the SO came to the sur
face again and sighted a steamer, on
which she opened fire, but was an

"Thc Lusitanias hour marked the
opening of vital period in American
history. 1t was the tragedy of May
that forced US in the end to take
a stand beside our allies. Three days
after the vessel was sunk Alfred Noyes,
the English poet, published a state
ment that will prove prophetic We
won this war he wrote, when the most
criminal of all nations in history sank
the Lusitania.'"
News Of the Lusitania disaster
reached the United States on the even
ing of May 7, three years ago The
most within sight of shore. A German
submarine. told off especially for the
lob, was lying in wait The two ves-
sells met shortly before noon. A tor
pedo was fred without warning. The
1usitania sank within an hour and the
commander of the underseas boat stood
by and watched as 1,l9S men, women
and children were drowning in the
Irish Sea.
Charles Frohman, Ebert Hubbard.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Justus Miles
Forman. Charles Klein, Lindon Bates,
Jr., and other prominent Americans
were among the victims.
The sea for days was Uttered with
wreckage and the drifting bodies Of
women and children. Such as could be
identified and who had friends were
taken home for burial. Others were
carried to their nameless graves on the
irish coast. There are three huge
mounds IN the Queenstown cemetery
which mark the resting place Of more
than 200 of the unknown dead and the
people Of the city still shun the place
and try to forget what they saw when

tional act of y responsible government

Ambassador at Washington, was asked

"The Ukrainian people," it says, "will

Bitter Blow for Queen
The intalling of the Rumanian
treaty, announced from Berlin to-day,
will be bitter experience for Queen
Marie, who persisted for months in
hoping against hope that il would be
possible to avert the conclusion of what
she regarded dishonorable peace. She
has never wavered or faltered in her
devotion to the cause of the Entente
Allies and her hostility to the Central
Powers.
The Queen received the Associated
Press correspondent on the evening be-
fore the departure from Jassy of the
mission. She expressed, as she had
done many times before, her warm SYM
pathy with and admiration for the
American people, her thankfulness for
what the United States had done for
Rumania, particularly the work of the
Red Cross, and her hope that fuller
and better friendship would come with
the end of the war.
AS the Queen mentioned the end Of
the war she could not refrain from eX-
pressing her firm belief that the only
possible end would be victory for the
Entente and the reconstruction Of Ru-
mania.

was asserted in an important quarter
to-day that Che traditional policy Of
the State Department has been not to
recognize government until it has
proven its capacity to discharge its in
ternational obligations. This rule ap-
piled to Russia, it was said, would
make improbable the recognition Of
the Bolshevik government for a very
considerable time.
1t was believed at the same time
however. that should the Bolshevik au-
thorities actually seek the cooperation
OF the Allies and the United States in
resisting the Austro- German aggres-
sions it would Immediately be given in
