ConcfuG Ged. SUBMARINE TOUCHES SHIP

SUBMARINE IOONFEo OHIF
 There was precious little room to spare in this adventure, but it was surpassed by a liner, formerly favor. ite ship among Atlantic pilgrims, now carrying cargoes to the Allies A blanket of fog covered the sea in the morning. 1t lifted d trifle and very much surprised submarine popped up dead ahead of the lungiag prov. She let fly a torpedo in q wild furry at such an angle that it glanced along tae steamers side without exploding. A mcment later the submarine itself went pumping and scraping along the other side of the vessel, whose officers, sailors and gunners stared straight down at it and uttered the deep and hearty curses of the sea. They would have swapped their souls for q few bombs to drop in remembrance. Grimy stokers poted their heads through the open ports and spat at the coming
 
 Jumps of coal and slice bars to heave at the blankety- blank thing. Then the fog swallowed it up and the inci- dent closed.
 For hard fighting and the dogged courage that we rightly ascribe to the men of the American Navy, the story of the Moreni and cheif petty officer Andrew Copassak, commanding the armed guard, is one of those which shinse undimmed in defeat, German sailors cheered him and his men from the deck of a submarine when he fin ished with his ship on fire and cargo of gasoline about to blow him to king dom come. He was made q warrant officer for devotion ,o dUty .:pI deter imitation to fight as long as sIe fioated, A summary of his report to he Navy Department was given out shortly af- ter but it seems worthy of pubica ton in full:
 We were attacked three days out from Gibralter. first sighting the sub marine at 5000 yards away. She fired four or five shots before we located her. We then swung around to head our stern at her and returned the fire at 1000 yards. After half an hours fight We were hit in the gasoline tank .f..1 { Nnt,t ed to me that the ammunition aft was running low l lined up the forward guns crew with the merchant crew to pass ammunition from forward to aft.
 After fighting an hour longer, fire broke out all over the ship. It became impossible for the men to pass any more ammunition aft. When l saw that such was the case l happened to be abaft the main-mast. and called for one of the guns crew to go forward with me l reached the bridge being burned on the way. but the man was unable to follow me.
 About this time the steering gear was shot away and the ship steamed in circles. Coming down off the bridge, I saw the captain and the boat swain, who were holding the falls ready to lower the life boats. The captain asked mo to come and get in his boat, as it was already on fire and it would be to late if we waited. told him to wait and he told me that he wouli hold the boat for me as long' as possible.
 We went forward and manned the gun, with which we fired four more shots before it was put out of commits sion. When the submarine saw that our shells were dropping closer, she went full speed astern, so that we could not see her. Then as we could

 Congratulated By Germans.
 The submarine called the boats along side and the commander con- graduated us, shaking hands with the captain, and telling us that it was the best fight they had ever seen put up by a merchant vessel. The submarine had two inches Of deck armor.
 The lieutenant asked me where the gunners were, and I told him they had been killed by shell fire. He was also anxious to know if we had any English marine left us we were picked up by a Spanish steamer. After we were aboard. German submarine came up near by. An officer of the steamer went over to him in a small boat and appeared to receive some papers, after which he returned to the ship. The crew of the submarine cheered, and the Spanish sailors cheered back, and we then steamed away.
 During the fight which lasted oves' two hours, we fired over 15O shots, but the steering gear being shot away and the ship moving in circles, we could get no range. The submarine fired about 300 shells of which four hit the ship.
 This volcano of d tanker was no place to be, with the flames racing fore and aft. The chief gunner made a passage through it, being burned on the way" and his men followed him into action for a final go at the Hun. It was another fight at very long range, conducted with extreme caution by the submarine.

Fired At Boat.

For Wanton brutality, which better accords with the spirit of the German submarine game, there is the report of the loss of the American schooner Childe Har- old off the French coast. Unadorned, the episode is thus described:
 At daybreak an object reported by the mate was believed to be the square sails of a ship hull down. The glasses showed it to be the superstructure of a submarine 1 mile away. (The Childe Harold was unarmed) The submarine opened fire and the shells ripped through the schooners hull and sails. The master ordered the crew into the motor launch and lowered away. This was plainly visible to the submarine, which had come much nearer. She continued to fire, how ever, evidently at the boat in the water which escaped being hit. The captain and his crew were ordered aboard the submarine and noticed that the cap ribbons of the sailors bore the letters 'U-19' and 'U-17! Two of the officers spoke excellent English, and Capt. Byrne, of the schooner, informed them that the firing was totally unnecessary and that he had not expected such das- tardly treatment from any white men.
 "The conversation developed the fact that the commander knew the date of sailing of the Childe Harold from an American port and was on the lookout for her. He also received information of the departure of the four master Alicia B. Crosby and the three master A. V. sherman on the same date, all three vessels having passed out to sea together. He wanted to know where the other schooners were. According to his schedule they should have shown up by this time.
 The Germans footed the Childe liar old and seemed very hungry. They had only coffee and dry bread for breakfast aboard the submarine. After fetching all the stores in the launch, they put the captain and his crew into the boat again, which was stove and half full of water. The schooner was then set on fire Her people were res cued by steamer Capt. Byrne is anxious to try it again"

have notified Germany that they re-.
serve the right to occupy the neutral
zone east of the Rhine, from the Co
logne bridgehead to the Dutch from
tier, according to a dispatch from
Treves.
The message states that the follow.
ing condition has been added to the
armistice agreement Of Nov. IL:
"The supreme command Of the allies
reserve the right, should 1t consider
this advisable, and in order to obtain
fresh guarantees, to occupy the neutral
zone on the right bank of the Rhine
north of the Cologne brldgehead and
as far as the Dutch frontier. Notice
bf this occupation will be given six

announced in behalf Of Herbert G,
Hoover, that 100000 tons Of cargo
space lying in German harbors must be
placed under allied control to supply
Germany with foodstuffs. The ships
are to remain German property.
The naval representatives demanded
the surrender Of the German battle
ship Bade instead of the Mackensen.
Erzberger protested, but in vain.
A new condition accepted by the
Germans provides that the allies may,
upon six days notice, occupy the whole
neutral zone on the right bank of the
Rhine from the Cologne bridgeheed as
far as the Dutch border II the allies
deem 1t advisable to obtain fresh guar.
Rntees.
