German Diver Also Sinks Three
Barges and Sets Fire to
Fourth and Tug.
PLANES ATTACK DIVER
Two Filters From Chatham Aviation
Station Engage Foe Submarine
Without Resuit-SeveraI Men,
bers Of Barge Crew Injured.

Orleans, Mass. July ga barge
tow of the easternmost point OF Cape
Cod was attacked by a German sub
marine, three Of the barges sunk, q
fourth and the tug set on fire and
four shells dropped on the mainland.
The action lasted an hour and was
unchallenged, except for two hydro
airplanes from the Chatham aviation
station. which circled over the U-boat,
causing her to submerge for only a
moment. Then the submarine reap
peared and resumed firing.
The crews Of the tow, numbering
II and including three women and five
children, escaped amid the she'll fire
in lifeboats. Several were wounded,
but only one seriously. This happened
to be John Botovich, an Austrian, of
the crew of the tug. His right arm
near the shoulder was torn away by
a fragment of shell. The minor in
iuries of the others were from shell
splinters.
Thousands See Encounter.
The barges were in tow of the tug
Perth Amboy. owned by the Lehigh
Valley railroad, and were bound from
Gloucester for New York. One was
loaded with stone, but the others were
light, being on their return trip after
bringing coal to New England. The
attack was without warning and only
ha poor craftsmanship of the German
gunners permitted the escape of the
';rews.
The one-sided fight took place three
miles south of the Orleans coast guard
station, which is located midway be-
tween Chatham, at Elbow, and High
land Light, at the extreme tip Of the
cape.
The firing was heard for miles and
brought thousands to the beach, from
which the Il shes of the guns and the

ers was not thought Of until shell
whi22ed over their heads and splashed
in pond mile inland. Three other
shells buried themselves in the sands
II the beach.
Survivors Lost Their Clothes.
The survivors of the tow. with the
exception of two injured, were taken
20 the Orleans coast guard station,
'"nEInication with which by tele-
phone was not permitted under navy
regulations. No information could be
obtained from official sources on the
cape
Botovich and another man from one
OF the barges, both of whose arms had
been injured, were removed to the. pri
vate hospital of DR.. James McHugh.
Later Botovich was taken to hospital
In Boston.
The survivors lost all their personal
effects and some of them who were
having their turn in their hunks When
the U.boat appeared came ashore in
their night clothing.

LOYALTY WILL AFFORD
PROTECTION
True Patriotism and Loyalty is
Only Means Of Protection for
German Sympathizers Against
Righteous Wrath Of American
Citizenship.

In little more than year
this country has been changed
from a peace loving nation to one
whose whole soul is wrapped up
in winning a victory for freedom
and democracy for all nations,
large and small, in the present
war against a brutal and soulless
military power. That power has
been proven guilty over and over
again Of deliberately planning to
conquer the world by the sword
and thus crafty the inordinate
lust for power on the part of it's
ferocious war lords"
1t has also been proven guilty
beyond doubt of placing a cum
ming system of spies in every
section of our country and poi
soning the minds of our people
by vicious propaganda seeking
to enslave and subjugate the
minds of our people in order to
make its nefarious scheme east
err of accomplishment.
In the light of these circum-
stances. the fact and truth of
which cannot be successfully de-
MED. anything that can be said
or written regarding them can
not be held to be unnecessarily
or unnaturally harsh.
There are German sympathi-
GERS in Minnesota. This fact
need not be spoken of in a
whisper. The truth may be spo-
ken, freely and solemn warn
ing given to those who will list
en-. Those who will heed it in
time will have cause to thank
heaven that someone succeeded
in kicking them awake to the
danger of their position among.
loyal people.
The gathering storm of Amer
lean indignation is rapidly sweep
ing toward them. They should
look with sincere appreciation
and gratitude to the writer's,
speakers, and editors who have
been patiently and kindly calling
their attention to the approach
ing cloud. When it finally beraks
it will know no limit in its fiend-
ish hate and nothing in the wide
world can stop it. It's wrath will
be overwhelming.
The Commission of Public
Safety has spent thousands Of
dollars in its effort to place the
facts before everyone and it's
speakers have been everywhere
spreading the gospel of freedom
and democracy emphasizing our
duty, and warning of the danger
to home and country if we fail in
it. Heed the warning and seek
protection in loyalty. 1t is the
only safe course for those who
appreciate the best country on
earth and who desire to contin-
ue to enjoy it's blessings.
And it may be said that cam
ouflaged" loyalty thru means of
niggardly Red Cross donations
and a Liberty bond while giving
utterances to hopes that the
German army will win the war:
belittling our. soldiers and sail
ors. our President and our vast
army of unseltish and patriotic
war workers are not ways of
protection against the rainy
day" when once the storm breaks
in its fury.
