CROSBY TELLS STORY ABOUT
 U-BOAT FIGHT
Mate of British Tanker Re
 ports Sinking of Hun Pirate in Long Battle.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 20.-A four hundred ton enemy submarine was sunk by the gun crew of a British tanker which reached here last night. The tale of the battle between tanker and submarine was told today by John Crosby, chief mate of the former, from his bed in a hospital where he is under treatment for shock.
 Crosby is said to be in a serious condition. A remarkable feature of the case is that he felt no ill effects during the engagement, which took place last Friday, and was in good health until yesterday morning. Then, safely beyond the reach of the under sea pirate, he collapsed.
 The second mate was on the bridge about 3 o'clock in the afternoon D Crosby said. There was not a sign of any craft around but he caught the steak made by a torpedo coming toward the tanker. He yelled and the ship was thrown out of her course The torpedo missed by a few feet. Everyone was on deck by that time. but we saw nothing of the submarine that started the thing.
 
 pedo. We zigza gged, lodging the mis- sile just as. prettily as could be- It went by us. Then the submarine came out of the water with her guns ready. She was all of 400 feet long and could make r knots an hour. Our boat was good for IF knots, but we began to go with the U-boat coming behind. She opened up with her guns and the fight started. "I was acting as spotter for the gum ner, calling the shells as they kicked up the water about the U-boat. Our 26th shot took the submarine right. She did not blow up with a bang. What she did was to swing around slowly and drift broadside on. We did not slow down. but made for port as swiftly as we could travel.
 "I am sure our shot destroyed the enemy craft.'

The letter said he had been given a commission for the special purpose of doing recruiting service and that 1t had been revoked because voluntary enlistments now were in- terfering with "the orderly selective process" of increasing the army and "any active recruiting campaign would be out of the question" There fore, to have allowed Empey to retain the commission would have constituted an exception to the rule whereby commissions in the line Of the army awarded.

General Won Blume. who is on the retired list, writes an article on the subject which appears in the Rheln- ische Westfaelische Zeitung. He frankly admits that we have to rec ognize that the Americans, all in all. have done very smart work and It would be a very serious thing if the German army command had to face an American fighting army of mil lions. This prospect the German puo- lie must on no account be permitted to ponder over"
 Almost immediately after the article appeared a semi-official statement was issued to the effect that the "exas- gerated reports going about regard ing the size of the American army in Europe merit no credence and only exist in Yankee imagination and En- tente propaganda" The statement said further that the tonnage ques- tion, which already is acute, will be- come still more serious for the En- tente when America has to ship her crops to Europe"
 Gen. Won Liebert. who formerly was German commandant in Lodz and who now is military critic of the Taeglische Rundschau of Berlin, tells the public that the American army actually has become a big factor and the debarkations in France are pro ceeding regularly.
