those dom;nions which the ambition
and folly of their rulers have forfeit

been deemed necessary to revive the
colonial fever by invoking the some
what tarnished, but still Influential,
names of the great war lords.
Ludendorf has published message

which we must fgh. and for which we

U-BOAT CREWS LAND HERE
Hun Officer Recognized by Pilot OF
Merchantmen in New York.

Merchantmen in New YORK.
Washington, Aug. 20.-That the
Allied navies sunk 200 and perhaps
more German submarines since the
war began or considerably more than
half of all undersea boats Germany
has had, was the subsistence Of 0filc-
ial information given newspaper cor.
respondents ut the Navy Department.
Moreover, it was lcarnc definite
~ that the recent U-boat raids on
the Atlantic Coast have been exc
cutcd by al least three enemy YES
sells; two of which have ceased to u
as active as they were. the size OF
these beats, their cruising radius and
other essential details about them
are known to this Government.
Not only that, but 'ar Navy De-
partmcrt has convincing reason tcr
bellows, . that officers ami men Of In
G:,nar raiders have Iande' on the
imrritan coast, have gcn+ ashore IN
search of information, of value to
their Government and that it is inn
portant that the whole population on
the Atlantic seaboard be on its guard
against these new type spies.
It is not regarded by the Navy De-
partmcnts as at all unlikely that the
U-boats have come near shore under
cover Of darkness, have sent officers
or men, or both, ashore in collapsiblc
boats, left them on land with the idea
of again picking them up ut an p
pointed place and time. This is Il
somewhat hazardous thing to under
take, bat that it has been undertaken
with success, the department is con-
WINGED.
As matter Of fact, the captain
and first OFFICERS of one Of the Amer
lean ships sunk recently by a subma-
rinc told high official Of the nav7
the other day of coming face to face
with an officer Of the Submarine,
which had sent their ship to the bot
tom. The German was recognized
and in turn recognized the Ameri
cans and took to his heels before he
could DC captured.
This incident took place in sa-
Icon in New York. The Americans
were so startled when they bchld an
officer Of the German raider calmly
taking a drink in their presence that
they could scarcely believe their own
ewes. 1t happens that the German
realized almost at the same instant
that he vas in the presence of two
men who knew him, AMI before the
merchantmen could recover them
selves sufficiently to seize the spy
he dartcd away.
Also it became known today that
one Of the three German submarines
operating off the American coast is q

south from New York have been cut
by this vessel. Both have been re.
