by British Sea Raiders

London, April 25-Reuter's Amsterdam

1.-The Kaiser on Tuesday visited Zee

fish raid. He boarded the Mole, where
he convinced himself that the damage
caused by the blowing up of the railway
bridge had already been temporarily re-
paired and that a final bridging of the
gap can be done in a few days. He also
satisfied himself of the perfectly good
condition of all the structures and in
stallations on the outer part of the Mole,
which was the objective of the attack.
HE then proceeded to the canal lock,
where two cement-laden cruisers lie, and
at the scene of the nocturnal battle, OBJ

that the destruction of the installations
on the Mole and the cutting off of our u
boats from the bases at zeebrugge and
Ostend were long prepared enterprises
and were to be carried out on a big
scale A surprise attack had been
planned four times, but each time il
failed owing to the vigilance of the

Fact of Intermingling
of Races at Camp Pike .
Brought Out in Trial

r.i++1e Rock. April 25-The trial by
court-martial of Capt. e. Z. Rowan
Of Canton. Miss, said by Camp Pike
authorities to be the most important
in the history of the national army
hecause of the race question involved
closed late today Announcement of
the courts findings will Tot be an
nounced for sometime, it is believed.
On the witness stand today Captain
Rowan admitted that he refused to
obev the order OF his commanding Of
ficer Col. Frederick B. Shaw, when
Colonel Shaw ordered him to lead out
his company for brigade review. Cap
tain Rowan said he had no negroes in
his company at the time, but believed
that If he compelled his men to par
ticipate in a ceremony in which they
would see negroes intermingled with
white men he would be breaking his
word to them in promising that they
would be called upon to perform no
duty that would lower their self
respect.
Several witnesses, officers and men
testified that there had been inter
mingling of the races in the depot
brigade, that negro noncommissioned
officers had been placed over white
privates and that white men had been
compelled to cook for negroes.

New York tonight and in order to talk
further with his friends.
Cheers greeted the speaker when he
entered the House this morning. Re-

badly injured when his horse fell. on him
while crossing railroad trestle during
the hike of the Fifty eighth brigade to
the north of Jacksonville, and who is
under treatment at the base hospital, is
slowly recovering from his dangerous in

mended for their brave and thoughtful
actions when Rockwell's horse plunged
onto a trestle and came near ending

of a medical cart which was at the rear
of the artillery. The horse attached
thereto baked and began to obstruct the
march 1t was then led to the rear of
the column and the troopers passed on.
When the railroad crossing, about four
miles north of Jacksonville, was reached
the horse laid down across the shafts,
and after much coaxing the animal
jumped up and dashed down the tracks,
dragging Private Rockwell along the ties.
When the soldier and horse reached the
trestle, about 100 feet away, the soldier
was beneath the struggling animal and
but for the quick work of his comrades
he would have figured in funeral in
stead of being where he is today. After
much effort Privates Hines, Ruggles and
Watts succeeded in freeing Private Rock

who was suffering intense pain. Private
Hines sought nearby telephone and got
in communication with the artillery head
quarter and the railroad officials.
