(probably the man picked up) was
ordered on board. In case he should
be made prisoner and kept on board,
he gave the second officer, who re-
manned on board, the course to
steer. He was then taken to the
coming tower OF the submarine,
where two officers awaited him.
THE commander asked him
sharply what ship is tIlat?'"
'Tt is the hospital ship LIandovery
Castle" answered the captain.
Yes the commander did not
attempt to appear surprised. But
you are carrying eight American
flight officers"
I'VE are not, !" replied the captain.
1--WE have seven Canadian medical
officers on board. The ship was
chartered by the Canadian govern
ment to carry sick and wounded

mander reiterated: .-., + s..
"'You have been carrying Ameri-
can flight officers
81 have been running to Canada
for six months with wounded: give
you my word OF honor that we have
carried none except patients, medi-
cal staff, crews and sisters said
the captain.
THE commander then demanded
If there were any Canadian medical
officers in the boat and he was told
there was one. He ordered him to
come aboard.
Doctor Is Abused.
Where are our other boats 2"
asked the captain. The submarine
commander did not answer. He was
watching the Canadian medical Of
f1cer being roughly hauled on board
and thrust along the deck. This was
done so violently and with such
plain intention to injure the Cana
dian, Maj. T. Lyon. of the Canadian
army medical corps, that he actual
ly had a small bone in his foot
broken by the handling he received.
The captains boat, containing
the survivors was picked up by the
destroyer Lysander, the commander
Of which has reported that he had
found no trace OF the remaining five
boats.
The commander Of the destroyer
Lysander, which rescued the cap
tain and those in his boat describing
the rescue today said circumstances
of the sinking as he learned them
from the survivors made it quite
clear that this was another instance
of sinking at night and that it was
obviously intended to follow the
policy Of "Ieave no trace for when

One boat, in which there were
twelve nursing sisters was seen to

Canadian sergeant, also. was in the
same boat and managed to crawl on

Nothing had been seen Of the re-
naming FIVE boats. Whether they
had been destroyed by shell fire, the
commander of the Lysander could
not say The submarine was OBJ

might have been survivors, and in

W. Z. DriUe
q j Brings $1,000

Solicitors who have been canvass
ing Fargo in the interests of the
w. c. T. U. war fund drive, have
reported to Mrs. r. M. Pollock that
they have secured over $1,000 toward
the apportionment of $1,000, which
they are to raise. No complete re-
port of the work done has been
turned in as yet, but 1t is hoped that
all details in connection with the
campaign will be completed by
Saturday evening of this week and
that full report may be published
early next week.
Reports from the unions in the
smaller places throughout the state
show that most of them have over
subscribed their allotments and it
is certain that the $4,000, which was
to be raised in the state, will be sub
scribed.

Center MoUed To
Quarters in Ford Building

Manager ]. e. Buckley Of the Ford
Motor company, today gave the sur
gical dressings department Of the
Cass county Red Cross chapter per-
mission to use the north half Of the
first floor Of the Ford building, as an
instruction center, and the depart
ment hopes to be able to be settled
in its new quarters early in the
week.
Since the instruction work was
organized, the meetings have been
held in room IS, Magill block, the
use Of the room having been donated
by w. H. Magi1l. A great deal Of
good work was done, but the branch
is growing so rapidly that the need Of
larger quarters was making itself
felt, and the action Of Mr.. Buckley
today has settled this problem for
the workers.
Mrs. J. H. Cooper has announced
that special class in surgical dress
ings work will be held in the new
quarters during fair week, in order
to give those from out Of town an
opportunity to take the course and to
visit the fair at the same time.
The classes will be held in the morn
ings from 8 until II o'clock, leaving
the afternoons open for attending
the fair or visiting friends in the
city. The complete details regarding
this special course will be an
nounced at a later date.

EASTER ISLAND IN THE VAST PACIFIC
HAS MYSTERIES PUZZLING AS EGYPT

Rapa Nui, Isla de Pascua, Easter
Island, an arid scrap of volcanic DESC
lation, lost in the Pacific, 1000 miles
from the South American mainland
and 1000 miles from the nearest
Polynesian archipelagoes, is owned
by Chile, and is leased by the gov
eminent of that country to a private
company, which exploits its resources
and the labor of its inhabitants. The
yield in dividends is not wonderful,
but II the scanty products of the
island were annually disposed Of to
meet the needs Of the natives, at least
a small fraction Of the misery now due
to twentieth century vassalage would
be relieved. The island, a lonely SEN
tinel of Polynesia, received the name
by which it is best known from the
Dutch navigator, Roggenwein, who
discovered it on Easter Sunday, 1921.
The world, which had been told of
many marvellous things, and had be-
lieved many marvellous things in the
two preceding centuries, was hardly
prepared to accept what Roggenwein
and his party had to tell Of Rapa
Nui, and it was some time before
their stories were confirmed, even to
the satisfaction Of the usually credu-
lous.
A great deal more than the world
knows about Easter Island would have
been revealed in readable form long
before this time, probably, II the
shadow Of the great war had not fall

found, as Roggenwein had, some of
the most extraordinary monuments to
be seen anywhere on the globe; mas
sive ruins of buildings and terraces,
hundreds of statues of mammoth size,
carved from the volcanic rock of which
the island is mostly formed. They
found awaiting them, as Roggenwein
had found, mystery as puzzling as
any Egypt has to offer, for many of
the statues, hewn in the quarries, and
weighing as much as fifty tons, had
been moved long distances; but how?
Never more than a few thousand peo-
at any time; so far as scholars have
theorizca on the subject, it does not
appear reasonable that a population
capable of carrying on, thru sue
cession of years, the work necessary
to the quarrying, carving and trans
portation of the numerous and re-
markable monuments could have sub
sisted on the islands products. Ex-
cavations, prosecuted in a more or less
desultory fashion before the coming
of the Routledges, had brought forth
objects carved in wood, specimens of
undeciphered picture writing, and so
on, but it is understood that the Brit
ish museum expedition was successful
beyond all other similar undertake
ings. The reports Of its achievements
is awaited with great interest.
Meanwhile Easter Island has fallen
back into its wonted isolation. We
have the authority Of Oswald H.
Evans, T. G. s., in Chambers Journal,
and of others who have visited the
island, made Investigations, and writ
ten on the subject, that the condition
of the people Of Rapa Nui is deplor-
able. Nationally, they are Chileans,
