Norwegian Steamer, British Destroy
er and a Pig Figure in War
time Episode.

LONDON. February "a (by maiD.-A
catch on the deck of a Norwegian
steamer, a British destroyer and three
boatloads of Norwegian seamen were
the principal figures in the tale of an
enemy submarine which was nearly
caught in tho Atlantic recently. The
story is told in the following letter
from Norway: Our ship, the Siran,
was attacked by a U-boat in the At
lantic. She was badly damaged by gun
fire and abandoned by the crew. which
took to the boats.
1.-The commander of the submarine
heard a noise on board the abandoned
ship. "A pig. he called out to his men.
He ordered them to cease firing, COM
and sent some of his men over to in
vestigate.
They found the pig in pen on deck
and two of the Germans dragged it out
and then there began pig hunt up and
down the deck, the men clutching at
the flying pig and falling headlong I'M
til the German captain, watching
through his binoculars was doubled
with laughter.
In fact. he was so much amused that
he forgot to keep a lookout, and Brit
ISM destroyer was well in view on the
horizon when he suddenly awakened to
the fact that a war was in progress
Then followed a great scramble to get
the men back to the submarine and to
get it below the surface before the de-
stroyer could get within range. The
destroyer might have fired some very
effective shots before the German sub
merged. except that the German cap
tain forced the Norwegians in their
lifeboats to keep close to his ship and

PEK|NG MyST|F|ED
AS TROOPS MOVE
Act Of Gen. Chang sou|In
Causes Speculation in Chi
nese Capital.

PEKING. Monday, March 1.-THE
mysterious movements of troops by
Gen. Chang Soulin of Mukden province.
coupled with the reported desire of
President Feng- Kwo-Chang to resign,
is causing speculation in the capital.
Gen. Chang Soulin recently inter-
cepted a large shipment of arms from
Japan intended for the use of the Chi
nese government. The seizure was
made on the allegation that there was
danger of the arms falling into the
hands of the enemies of the northern
military leaders through evil counsel in
the government.
Shortly thereafter Gen. Chang Soulin
began to move his troops southwark,
ostensibly to aid the northern leaders
against the southern rebels. His troops
are now at Ivan Chow, Shanhaikwan
and Tientsin. in Chilli province, in
which Picking also is situated.
President Feng's desire to resign was
expressed at a cabinet meeting, where
he produced a telegram which he pro-
posed to send to the provisional gov
eminent, declaring that the situation
was too difficult for him to solve. The
president is said to have withheld his
resignation temporarily on the advice
of the cabinet pending negotiations
with Gen. Chang Soulin for the removal
of his troops and the restoration of the
arms he seized --'
In mandate early in January Pres
ident Feng -kwo-Chang assumed re-
sponsibility for the country's political
troubles and announced that he would
resign shortly. A report was received
in London March that President Feng
would probably be forced to resign. 1t
was added that he was virtually pris-
oner of the northern military leaders.
In July, 1916, Gen. Chang Soulin was
reported to be preparing to make an
attempt to reinstate the Manchu dy-
nasty in China, but his efforts never
bore fruit

A combination of substitutes, the

corn alone. and that potatoes with
