THE CAPTAINS REPORT

Much of the tale perforce remains
 untold. but 1t is best brought to an all
 too brief conclusion in the words of
 the official report written by the of
 ficer, who, as his head and shoulders appeared above the bridge screen at The conclusion of the action, brought forth
 the following shout from one of the
 "panic party: "Blimeyl there's the
 skipper still alive! Gawd, wouldn't them perishin' 'Uns give nine-pence an
 inch for 'im?" This officers report concludes as follows:
 .Tt is hardly necessary for me again
 to refer to the behavior of my crew the tactics I carried out were only possible through the utmost confidence
 I had in my ship and my crew. l would especially bring to your notice the extreme bravery of Lieutenant
 Bonner the officer in charge, and the 4-inch guns crew. Lieutenant Bonner, having been blown out of his control by the first explosion, crawled into the gun hatch with the crew. They
 there remained at their posts with q
 fire raging in the poop below and the deck getting redr hot. One man tore
 up his shirt to give pieces to the guns
 crew to stop the fumes getting into
 their threats. others lifted the boxes
 of cordite off the deck to keep them
 from exploding, and all the time they
 knew they must be, blown up, as the
 secondary supply and magazine were
 immediately below. They told me aft
 erwards that communication with the
 bridge was cut off, and although they would be blown up. they also knew
 they would spoil the show if they
 moved, so they remained until actually
 blown up with their gun.
 Then, when, as wounded men, they were ordered to remain quiet in vari- ous places during the second action, they had to lie there unattended and bleeding with explosions continually going on aboard and splinters from the enemy's shell fire penetrating theii quarters. Lieutenant Bonner, himself wounded, did what he could for two who were with him in the wardroom When I visited them after the action, they though little of their wounds, but only expressed their disgust that the enemy had not been sunk. Surely such bravery is hard to equal. The strain for the men who remained on board after the ship had been torpedoed. poop set on fire, cordite and shells explod- ing, and then the enemy shell fire can easily be imagined I much regret that two officers and seven men were wounded and am very grateful to U. S & - for taking charge of the two most daneerous cases. I-we-deeply regret the loss of one of H, NJ ships and still more the escape of the enemy. We did our best. not only to destroy the enemy and save the ship. i but also to show ourselves worthy O. the victoria Cross the King recently
 bestowed on the ship

 TRAINING NECESSARY

New York, December 16-Universal military training of American youths was advocated as Ian absolute neces- sity," by Maj Gen, George Barnett. com mandant of the United States marine corps, who discussed the lessons of the war upon his return here today after two and half months abroad.
 The work of the navy without which the nation could not have accomplished it's task,'' was rated by the commandant as the outstanding feature of the conflict and as an essential to properly bal anced navy in peace times he advocated maintenance of the marine corps at 30, GOO men.
 Tn partial recognition of the tiger like" fighting qualities of the marines who undoubtedly saved Paris when they stopped the Germans at Chateau Thierry," General Barnett outlined 8 plan to retain in the corps as many as possible of the wounded who desired to stay in the service, with positions in navy yards or government plants for disabled men. Secretary Daniels and Sur geon General Braisted where agreed with him, he added, that legislation should be enacted, if neeessary to carry out this Whether there would be jobs for them he said, was the wounded marines chiel worry.

tain ordered the after gun to be man ned and the remainder of the crew to take shell cover, tactics which differed in no respect from those customary to merchantmen under the circumstances. On the other hand, speed was imper- ceptibly decreased, and the crew of the light gun at the stern directed to shoot short in order to encourage the adver- sary to draw closer. It says much for the discipline on board that men thus prominently exposed to the fire of the pursuing enemy could deliberately continue to reply to 1t in the conscious ness that their shot were not required to hit. German submarine command CTS at this phase of the war were grow ing notoriously ''nervy"; hysterical ap- peals for help were therefore sent out by wireless. in the hope that the enc my would intercept them and gain confidence.
 A RACE WITH FIRE
 The heavy sea gradully rendered it impossible for the submarine to main- tain the pursuit and man her gun. She therefore abandoned the bombardment and came on at full speed, until after a chase of about an hour, she turned broadsideon and again opened fire. Shots were then falling close. and ct 12:46 the steamer stopped, as great
 
 zine room showed she was disabled and the panic party proceeded to abandon ship. To lend color to the general atmosphere of demoralization and confusion. one of the boats was purposely dropped by a single fall, and remained hanging from the davit in a vertical position. In the meantime the enemy had closed nearer and continued methodically shelling the ship. A shell struck one of the depth charges and blowing the officer in charge of the after concealed gun out of his control positions; on recovering consciousness however, he crawled inside the gun hatch, where his crew of seven nor were hidden. The seaman superintend- ing the depth charges was badls wounded by this explosion and lay motionless. Seeing his condition, the hidden crew of the after gun attempted to drag him within their place of con cealment, but the injured man stub bornly refused to be moved. T was put here in charge of these things, he replied. indicating the remaining depth charges, "and here I stop" Ant stop he did until subsequent events domitable spirit.

THE LAST CHANGE

At 2:50 p. m., the submarine abruptly ceased smelling and submerged. Then
 with only peSiscope showing, he steamed once mort past the ship. As he came abeam under water the Brit ish captain played one of his remain ing trump cards, and discharged tor pedo; it missed by inches, and passed unnoticed.

saw the tell-tale wake pass foot astern of the periscope. They had shot their last bolt, and the game was up. A wireless signal was immediately sent out for urgent assistance, as the wary enemy had sighted the last torpedo and promptly dived. The ship was sinking fast, and to wait for another torpedo or further smelling would have meant the useless sacrifice of life United States destroyer, an armed yacht and two British destroyers that had been lowering below the horizon, rushed up at full speed and took charge of the wounded. The ship sank s4 minutes later, with her colors flying, after strenuous endeavors had been made to save her.
