Allies I'm Russia


Considerable space and lively at
tention are devoted in the German
papers of August s, and Z, which
reached London yesterday, to Allied
military operations at Archangel,
Vl"divostok and Murmansk. Or
ders have been issued by the Ber-
lin Foreign Office to harp insistent-
~ on the chord that the Allies pro-
testations of disinterestedness are
perf1dious, and that Britain, Japan
and the United States have nothing
in mind except the enslavement of
the Russian people and annexation
of their territory.
These fabrications supply ample
evidence that the Allies movements
are no longer treated with disdain
in Berlin, and their development is
awaited with unmistakable con-
cern. The War Office announces
significantly that it's arrangements
to ameliorate the lot of German
prisoners in Siberia have been seri-
al'd'w interfered with by the Czecho-
Slovak forces.
1t is added that "a considerable
number" of German prisoners have
already been repatriated. AS far as
transportation difficulties permit, all
the Huns who have been captive In
Russia will be sent home. All pris-
oners are back from Rumania.
Members of the Reichstag who
have been agitating for better pay
fo' troops at the front have receiv-

Sees Wars End In Year;
Chauncey Depew Optimistic

New York.-Chauncey M. Depew
expressed the opinion that the Ger
mans cannot hold out much longer
and that the war will be over within
year. The former Senator made
his prophecy when discussing final
plans for the unveiling of a statute,
which he calls IAN admirable like
ness of himself, in Peekskill. his
birthplace. .
The ex-senator, who gives his age
as -four score and four" said:
The Germans cannot hold out much
longer, in my opinion. Nations are
like individuals. A fellow can't
keep getting a licking continually,
and there is q limit to the patience
and endurance of even German.
When they find the Americans are
not looking for land or anything
material the Germans must see we
are fighting for principle and that
their German leaders have been de-
cciving them"

St. Bernard Dog, Hero,
Calls Aid For Wounded

New York - A great ST. Bernard
dog is the hero in one of the stories
of the fighting on the western front.
Lieut.. Martin Owens, formerly a
Gotham policeman with the city
police department and now driver of
the ambulance donated by the DO
lice Legion of Honor, figures in the
story.
An American officer was wounded
in tho fighting near -Thierry.
He told his men to go on and leave
him. He called "Bowery," the COM
pany mascot, a huge st. Bernard
dog, to him. Bowery seemed to un-
derstand that the man couldn't
move. He stood by the officers side
and watched over him, barking
loudly. The officer became uncon-
scious. When the officer regained
consciousness the dog attracted his
attention to a French private who
had been wounded. The officer
.crawled to the man and gave him
what aid he could, probably saving
the private's life. Bowery kept on
barking. The two men became SO
weak from loss of blood they be-
came unconscious. Bowery barked
constantly. Owen, with several
nurses and other ambulance, drivers,
was attending the wounded and
heard the barking. Owens went to
where the dog stood, believing the
dog belonged to the French SOL
diers. Owens spoke in French to
him. Bowery wouldn't let him
touch the stricken soldiers. Then
the lieutenant spoke in English and
the dog ceased growing and wagged
his tail. The men were taken to the
hospital, where they will recover.

state definitely that the raider had
been sunk, others aboard the ship
recounted enthusiastically that they
saw shell from the freighter's gun
land squarely at the submersible's s
bow, blowing to bits her forward gun
and the squad of six Germans man
ming it. Immediately afterward. the
freighter's crew asserted, they saw
the U-boat list sharply and then dis
appear.
Nearly 800 shots were exchanged
while the long running battle lasted.
AS the freighter was tied to her
pier yesterday there was big she'll
hole Gaping in her port bow, just
above the water line; the door of Nor
char house was shattered, two of
her lifeboats were smashed, her wire
less aerials was cut to fragments.
Nevertheless, every nan aboard the
freighter was sound and the dam-
age to their ship can be mended
quickly.
Dodged a Torpedo
The frelghter's lookout sighted
the submarines periscope p6king
through the water just after s
O'Clock on the morning of the at
tack. She was less than half a mile
off the Britisher's port bow then. and
the skipper of the freighter barely
had time to order the course of his
ship changed before the wake of u
torpedo could be seen plainly as it
sped on its course toward the big
ship. AS the freighter veered
swiftly the torpedo slipped harm
lessly by and the gun crew aboard
the raiders intended victim came in
to action. The first shell from the
freighter fell wide of it's mark, and
at the moment the submarine came
into full view on the surface of the
water.
Instantly the submersible's two
guns, one fore and one aft and both
apparently six inches, were trained
upon the ship. The fire was return
ed almost shot for shot after the
British gunners got down to work,
but their shells fell far wide of their
mark because of the zigzag course of
their vessel.
The German gunners, according
to the estimate of the freighter's
crew, fired ut least 200 shots. while
the frelShter'S log, her crew said,
showed that a total of ninety-four
shells were thrown before the final
one landed squarely on the submar-
ines forward gun platform and put
her out of commission.
100 Shots Without Hit
The hole in the freighter's port
bow was torn by one of the first
shots sent out of the Germans for
ward gun. The ships port bridge
was scraped by another of the sub
marines early shots, but after that
their Workmanship went awry for
a time and they fired more than
q hundred shots before getting an
other hit. The shells screamed over
and all around the freighter, but
dropped harmlessly into the water.
1t was the ninety-fourth shot
from the freighter that sealed the
doom of the submarine. AS the
gunner let go with that shot the
freighter was Strengthened out in
her course and made dash for IL at
full speed. The need for haste was
eliminated by the shot, however, for
the British seamen leaning over the
rail of their ship reported that thew
saw the bodies of the gun crew hurl-
ed into the air with their gun and
then saw the submarine list and
disappear so quickly they are GER
tain none of its crew had a chance
to escape.
