Full Honors
Amsterdam, July 30.


Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt was
killed by a German named Greper,
semi-cfficial dispatches received today
from Berlin stated. Two shots in the
head brought down the son of the
famous eX-President. He was buried
with full military honors.
Twelve American and German flyers
were engaged in the battle with Lieu
tenant Roosevelt. Roosevelt and
Greper drew out from the remainder
and engaged in a duel, in which the
greater experience of the German
counted. the dispatches said.
A Wolff Bureau correspondent de-
scribes the fatal encounter as follows:
was not serious.
"On Sunday, July IA. an American
squadron of twelve battleplanes was
trying to break through the German
defense over the Marine. In the vio-
lent combat which ensued with seven
German machines, one American avia-
tor stubbornly made repeated attacks.
This eliminated in a duel between him
and German nOncommissioned
officer, who, after a short fight, sue
ceeded in getting good aim at his
brave but inexperienced opponent,
whose machine fell after few shots
near the village of Chambray, ten kilo-
meters north Of the Marne.

Bathers Driven from Beach by Shells
No moving-picture manager could have
staged a sea battle more effectively for
the summer visitors in this vicinity.
Bathers taking their morning dip sour
ried ashore when shells splashed within
a few hundred yards of them. Many Of
them watched the German exhibition of
frightfuness from the beach. Automobile
lists stopped their machines on the brow
of the sand hills and followed to Teu-

Seaplane Failed to Hit Target
DIR. James Callahan, a member of the
staff of the Massachusetts, General Hos
pital, was walking on the beach with his
little son when, he said, he heard the re-
port of gun and a shell splashed in the
breakers few hundred yards from
shore. Then the doctor saw the sub
marine. Two seaplanes came out of the
mist short while after the beginning of
the attack. the physician said. one sea-
plane Circled high above the submarine,
whose guns were flashing at frequent in
tervals. Suddenly the aircraft swooped
down. When only short distance above
the submarine the pilot of the seaplane
quickly turned the nose of his machine
upward and threw a bomb as he rose.
The bomb did not explode.
Doctor Callahan thinks the arman
tossed out one or two more bombs. but
! Is not certain. At any rate, AS the avi-
ator started another swoop toward the
/ submarine one of the latter's guns,
! which had been firing at the tug and
barges, was swung around and pointed
toward the seaplane. The aviator went
higher and was soon lost in the haze.
A.few minutes later the submarine began

Special Gable to Euening Public Ledger


Copyright. 1918. by NeU York Times Co.
London, July 22.--The Chronicles
Stockholm correspondent says that Doc
tor Muehlon. former director of the
krupps works. known already by his
striking revelations about the German
war preparations in the summer of 1914.
publishes another very significant article
in the German paper Friedenswarte
Doctor Muehlon says:
'On Germany lies the greatest blame.
not only for starting this war, but also
for the way it Is conducted. There can
be no two opinions about that. and only
by admitting her guilt can Germany
again bring order into the present chaos
which threatens to lead her on to de-
struction."
The writer maintains throughout his
article that this can only be brought
about by a general awakening of the
nation. As those who want to wage
war are depnedent on the individual and
not he on them. he will find thousand
ways of expressing his thoughts and
distrust and act accordingly.

German "frightfulness" in a new
form designated to shake the morale
Of the American nation was the in
depreciation placed by many officials
here today on the sudden appearance
of a German submarine off the Massa-
chusetts coast yesterday and the sink
ing by shell-fire of a tow of four
barges and the shelling of the tug.
The attack on such small craft could
not be attributed to any other reason.
it was believed, than an attempt to
frighten the American people.
Naval vessels Of all kinds were be-
leved today to be seeking the U.boat
and at the same time keeping a sharp
lookout for mines, which 1t is thought
have been stpewn in the steamship
lanes by the submarine. The unre-
mitting search for the U-boats, some
officials believe, has led the comman.
ders to adopt the safer policy of
placing mines off the Atlantic coast
in hope that transports may thus be
sunk.
Oficials were inclined to doubt re-
ports that the submarine was 400 feet
long, as no submersible Of such size
has heretofore been reported. There
have been reports recently that the Ger
mans were building supersubmarines to
be heavily armed and armored. but 1t
is not believed that even those vessels
would have such a length.
This was the first appearance of sub
mersibles in New England waters since
the United States entered the war. but
before that the U-53 sank several vessels
off the Massachusetts coast after APP
pearing at Newport r. I. The sub.
mersibles which visited this side of the
Atlantic last May and June operated be-
tween New York and the Virginia Capes
and Maryland.
All of the twenty ships which were de-
stroyed in American waters in that raid
were first halted by the submarines and
their crews permitted to seek safety in
the small boats. Seven of the vessels
were sailing craft and the other nine
steamships. Two other vessels We're sunk
we'll out into the Atlantic, presumably
by these submarines when they were
homeward bound.
The submarine which appered Sunday
may be the same one that sank the Nor
wegian ship Marosa 700 miles east OF
Cape Race July and captured the Nor.
wegiar~bark ManX King the day before
If so. she probably has been away from
her base more than month. In the pre-.
vious raid the C-boats appeared on May
! 25 off the coast of Virginia, and were
| last heard from on June IA off the Nir
ginia Capes, when they sank the Nor
wegian bark Samoa and the Norwegian
/ ship kringsjaa.
