Nova Scotia coast. Crews OF the
schooners sunk by the Triumph
have arrived here.
Vessels known to have been sunk
by the converted raider are the Una

and the Francis ]. Hara OF Boston.
Boston, Aug. 3l.-Fishermen here
said today that if the German sub
marine made use of the trawler Tri-
umph, seized yesterday, as raider
they would have TO recoal the craft
at least every ten days.
The Triumph was manned by a
Canadian crew and is owned by a
Canadian company.
The vessel is 125 feet in length
and registers about $50 tons gross.
Capt. Wallace Bruce, master of
the F. Pyatt Andrew said on his ar
rival here that his vessel was held up
by the Triumph yesterday and his
crew was given ten minutes in which
to leave the ship. The Germans then
sank the r. Pyatt Andrew with
bombs.
The raider then bore down upon
the Una T. Saunders and the Francis

three vessels reached here at 10 a. IN.

making for this port they heard fir

Captain Myrrhe. master OF the Tri-

this morning, said he was told by the
captain of the submarine which cap

one of six U-boats operating on this
coast.
I'VE intend to destroy the fishing

to Captain Myrrhe.
The Triumph is owned by the
North Atlantic Fisheries Company

FORMER EMPIRE
OF AUSTRIA IS
STRIFE CENTER

Jay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRel
Vienna, Friday, Nov. 20 (by the AS
soclated Press) The disintegration
OF the former Austro- Hungarian EN-
pire goes ON apace and is accom-
panied by fighting here and there and
the depredations of marauding bands.
Meanwhile, the food situation in
Vienna becomes more perilous each
day.
Czecho-Slov forces have occupied
Bodenbach, near the German from
tier, thereby cutting off from Vienna
large stores of provisions.
The CZecho-SloYaks have garrison
ed the larger part of German Bohemia
and are said to be pressing toward
the frontiers of upper Austria. In
the south the Jugo-Slavs have occu-
pied Marburg. which claims to be a
German city. Their forces have also
entenerd the provinces of Carinthia
and Syria.
In the northeast the Poles continue
their fight with the Ukrainians and
are advancing over the Carpathian
mountains to the frontiers of Hun
gary. They are reported to be rob-
bling the Jews as they go.
A Rumanian army has marched
into Bukowina as far as Kolomea on
the River Pruth. 1t is claimed in
Vienna that this force is clearly out
of the limits of the Rumanian sphere
in Bukowina.
Vienna is outwardly calm. The win

ants and hotels are full of we'll dress

rupting this country.
This country now has about one
third of all the worlds gold that is

silver would reduce the value of our
gold by one-half, probably, and would
produce an initiation of prices of all
the necessities of life such as was not

be worth actually about one-half of

after peace. In five years they would
be exercising the franchise of the re-
public whose armies they have
fought They would be participating
in the policies of the United States,

But we have learned at least one
lesson; We can no longer afford to
dilute Americanism with stuff whose
pride is German. From this time on
German emigrant may be regarded
as undesirable as a citizen. AS Ger
ard has told us, the German of today
is quite different from the German
of twenty-five years ago.
There is nothing in our laws to
prevent the immigration of baby
killer or ravisher, so long as he stands
unconvicted in civil court of the
crime, If he can get himself out of
Germany. Fortunately it will be some
time before any Hun can get such
opportunity, since he must wait for
the formal declaration of peace.
Meantime congress can act.
Such law would be no reflection on
the loyal American citizen of Ger
man descent or even of German birth.
Our armies in Europe included many
soldiers of German origin who proved
their loyalty with their blood. After
the United States entered the war,
and the German-Americans had time
to think it over, they were generally
active in all sorts of war work. They
demonstrated their loyalty
