CREW OF U.BOAT
LAND ON COAST

MAKES A nAsTY ESCAPE
Raiders Operating of The Atlantic
Coast Have Been In Communities
ton With Persons on
Shore

Washington.-That the Allied navies
submarines since the war began or
considerably more than half of all
undersea boats Germany has had,
was the substance of official informa-
ton given newspaper correspondents
at the Navy Department.
| Moreover, 1t was learned definitely
that the recent U-boat raids on the
Atlantic Coast have been executed by
at least three enemy vessels; two OF
which have ceased to be as active as
they were. The size of these boats,
their cruising radius and other essen
tial details about them are known to
this Government.
Not only that, but the Navy Depart
ment has convincing reason for be-
lieving that officers and men of the
German raiders have landed on the
American Coast, have gone ashore in
search of information of valCe to their
Government and that it is important
that the whole population on the At
lantic seaboard be on its guard
against these new type spies.
1t is not regarded by the Navy De
partment as at all unlikely that the
U-boats have come near shore under
cover of darkness, have sent officers
or men, or both, ashore in collapsible
boats, left them on land with the idea
of again picking them up at an APP
pointed place and time. This is a
somewhat hazardous thing to under
take, but that it has been undertaken
with success, the department is con-
WINGED.
AS matter of fact, the captain
and first officers of one of the Ameri-
can ships sunk recently by subma.

a short distance south of New York.
1t connects this. country with certain
of the Latin countries. While it was
being repaired the French cable,
which also runs to South America,
was cut at point off Cape Hatteras.
So far, no apparent effort has been
made by the German U-boat to cut off
communication between this country
and Europe. To do this would be
particularly perlous. The trans-At.
lantic cables except Immediately in
shore lie in very. deep water and are
difficult to grapple for, even by a
cable repair ship which knows their
location exactly. 1t is easier for a
German submarine, properly equipped,
to find and sever a cable running up
and down the coast, where the water
is more shallow.
Reports which have been made to
the Navy Department show that the
three pirates which have been raid
ing the American coast are of the
larger cruising type of submarine.

Heroic Wireless Operator.

The heroic conduct of Vignola, the
wireless operator in the Messageries
liner Natal, sunk in the Mediterran-
ean, was brought to light by survivors.
When the collision occurred Vignola,
who had been temporarily relieved by
petty officer, rushed to his post and
telling his substitute to save himself,
sent out signal Of distress. Then he
reported to- the captain, who replied,
"All right, now save yourself" In

which were picked up by the Mar
seilles station. When the ship sank a

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Scientific Count Shows Perch io2
Inches Long Contained 3o,4so-
More In Small Than Large.

Information concerning the number
Of eggs produced by various species of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
According to the Allgemeine Flsch-
erei-Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarlan trout
hatchery. The first investigations were
In connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; So specimens Of the
former and "a of the latter were
stripped. and the own counted. The
older and heavier fish were found to
have the most eggs (ranging up to
about $4,000, but the younger Ash
yielded decidedly larger number Of
eggs In proportion to the weight Of
the fish.
The experiments were repeated with
perch (Perca fluviatilis), in this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed. and the ovaries being removed
and dissected. The number of eggs In
perch ranged from 3,710 for n fish four
inches long up to 30,4S0 for one 1912

were painful, and he had lost much
blood. He was very weak. He looked
up in surprise as he heard the screams
Of his men and saw them running to-
ward the gate.
And then from around the corner of
his tent loomed huge bulk, and Tan

him.

tion nor loyalty for his master, broke

moaning. He was too weak to escape.
He could only lie there with staring

him, and awnit his death.
Then, to his astonishment, man
slid to the ground from the elephants

A moment later his eyes were above
the level of the obstacles, taking in all
within their range beyond. There was
no one in sight close by, and Korak
drew himself to the top and dropped
lightly to the ground within the In
closure.
Then he commenced his stealthy
search of the village. First toward the
Arab tents he made his way, smiling
and listening. He passed behind them,
searching for some sign Of Merlem.
Not even the wild Arab ours heard his
passage, so silently he went-a shadow
passing through shadows.

his loin cloth, Korak the Killer skunk

tent, where his keen scent told him

six foot opening in the tent wall, and

word as he hurled himself upon the

leaped from their sleeping mats
screaming. Meriem tried to prevent
them from escaping, but before she
could succeed the terrified blacks had
darted through the hole in the tent

gone screaming through the village.

CHAPTER XVI.
A Strange Meeting.

Sometimes lolllng upon Tantor's,
back, sometimes roaming the jungle In
solitude, Korak made his way slowly
toward the west and south. He made
but few miles day, for he had
whole lifetime before him and no place
in particular to go. Possibly he would
have moved more rapidly but for the
thought which continually haunted him
that each mile he Travelled carried him
farther and farther away from Mer-
iem-no longer his Meriem, as of yore,
1t is true, but still as dear to him as
ever.
Thus he came upon the trail of the
sheik's band as it Travelled down river
from the point where the sheik had
captured Meriem to Its own stockaded
village. Suddenly he came to the camp

nothing at Hollebeke, where they
were repulsed with the heaviest losses.
The advantage gained south of
Armentieres was pushed to the ut
most. the enemy passing Estaires and
pushing around to the west of Ar
mentieres. North of Armentieres
gains were made on the third day
which took the enemy through
Ploegsteert wood, or around the
s)uthern base of Messines ridge.
Thus Armentieres was pocketed and
its garrison of 5000 men and As uns
isolated. 1t may be that the British,
who had withdrawn guns and sup
plies from Armentieres, deliberately
sacrificed the garrison in the hope of
infiicting heavy losses on the Germans.
Ii is significant that the British re-
cord the abandonment of the town
as of the date of April IL, whereas
the German report shows that the
place was not captured until April
IL. 1t appears, therefore. that the
garrison turned its machine guns on
the enemy as they crossed the river
and made their way around the town.
1t is probable that their guns and
machine guns wrought heavy execu-
tion.
On the third and fourth days of
the offensive the Germans developed
a dangerous salient. penetrating be-
yond Merville at the apex. about IL
miles from the point of departure.
They were now in a position to out
flank Messines ridge and pushed the
British to a point near Neuve Eglise
and Bailleuil. both back of the south
ern base of the ridge. AS yet they
had not acquired much of the rising
ground. but they kept making gains
that put them almost on the out
skirts of Bailleuil. which is a rail
head and a supply station for Mes
sines ridge. Its capture would have
rendered the British position in the
Ypies salient exceedingly insecure.
1t was at this time that Field Mar
shall HaiQ issued an order of the day
commanding his men not to retreat
any farther. but rather to die to the
last man. This stiffened the British
resistance. but nevertheless they
were compelled to fall back on Mes
sines ridge for some hundreds Of
yards. especially in the neighborhood
of Neuve Eglise and Wulverghem.
