FOUR YANKEE TARS
DIE ABOARD SHIPS

Base American Flotilla in British
Neutrality-suspicious. of The
Associated Press. THE bodies of
four American naval men who have
died over here have just been ship
ped home on board a United States
naval supply ship. a brief funeral
service-the first of its kind TO be
held here-took place on the quar-
ter deck Of the supply ship when
the bodies. in sealed leaden caskets
were received on board. The ship
had just finished unloading Amer
lean supplies at a dock so that sew
era1 hundred tOwnspeople were able
TO witness the funeral service from
points of vantage ashore.
All flags on the American and
British men-of-war were half-mast-
ed during the service which was
conducted by the chaplain of the
American flotilla flagship. The COT
fms were placed in the center of
the deck and each was covered with
"OId Glory" while grouped about
were several bluejackets- The
reading of the funeral services
over. the band from the flagship
played Nearer Ny God to Thee"
Then the coffins were lowered into
the ships hold. All the time the
service was IN progress the civilian
onlookers stood with barred heads.
One of the bodies was that OF
Dudley W. Queen. surgeon on one
of the destroyers. who came to the
navy from Texas, and whose death
is the first from disease since the
arrival of the American forces over
here. The other three were vie
tins of accidents on board their
ships. They were William LussO,
an electrician of Kansas City. and
Martin O'Callaghan and John
Bourke, water tenders.
There also took place the other
day the first burial of an American
naval man at sea from an American
destroyer over here. He was Willis
Martin Goodnow, a machinist's mate

whose home was in Charleston, S.
c. He was killed in an accident on
board ship and was buried in q
U-boat infested area.
One o'clock on a bright January
afternoon was chosen as the time
for the service The body was
placed in a canvas casket. Draped
with the stars and stripes, it re-
posed on the after deck of the ship
while the bluejackets listened to
the Episcopal burial prayer read
by their commanding officer. This
over the destroyer was brought to
a stop for 80 seconds while four
sturdy blue jackets lowered the
body of their shipmate over the
starboard side of the vessel.

HUN PAPERS HOLD
BREATH IN HORROR
POLYGAMY TALK

Amsterdam-tCo of
the Associated Press .-Circula-
ton in other belligerent countries
Of the report that official recogni
ton of polygamy had been given
in Germany, in ordep to fill up as
quickly as possible the tremendous
gaps which the war has made in
the German army, has aroused in
dignation in the German empire.
This report is said to have been
mentioned in the British house or
commons by Arthur J. BalfOur. the
British foreign minister and by
Lord Robert Cecil. the British min
lister Of munitions.
In the religious weekly paper,
Die Christliche Welt, Professor
Martin Rade declared recently that
polygamy is countenanced neither
by the German government nor by
the German people. He contends
that single pamphlets advocating
plurality of wives such as the one
referred to by Lord Robert Cecil,
are the work OF irresponsible per-
sons" and should not be taken S.
riously. Moreover, Professor Rade
holds that history has shown that
after ali great wars, the losses
have been made good by normal
marriages.
There seem to be however a good
many irresponsible persons" in
Germany who hold queer ideas as
to the breeding of the future Ger
man. The Berliner Tageblatt de-
votes an article to them. 1t be-
gins by saying that the pamphlet
quoted in the house of commons
had no sort of official sanction and
that. on the contrary. it was quick
ly suppressed. The Tageblatt, how
ever, mentions the activities of the

Washington-The gift of Ger
man emperor, a fine telescope, Will
soon be used by officers of the
American navy to spy out German
submarines.
This costly optical Instrument
was presented 20 an American
ships captain, Captain Levi Dexter,
whose son, NJ. l.. Dexter, Savannah,
Ga, has sent 1t to the navy depart
ment together with a pair of binoc-
ulars and sextant in response to
the call for glasses needed by
watch officers on United States
naval vesselsI The rosewood case
IN which the telescope is enclosed
bears a silver plate, reading:
"Wir Wilhelm Won Gottes Gnaden
Deutscher Kaiser Koenig Won
Preussen bewilligen dem Schiff-
kapitan Levy Dexter fur die dem
Deutschen Reiche bel versChidenen
Gelegenheiten geleistenen guten
Dienste desc Anerkennung"
Translated into English it is:
I'VE, Wilhelm, by Gods grace Ger
man emperor, king of Prussia,
freely present to Ships Captain
Levy Dexter for the many esteemed
services rendered the German en-
perOr, this Acknowledgement"
AS the name plate of the maker
shows it was made IN Berlin in
1879, the telescope was probably
/ the gift of Wilhelm /, grandfather
of the present emperor.
Accompanying the set was a let
ter from Dexter to Assistant Secre-
tary Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1t said
in part:
THE telescope, binoculars and
sextant were left me by my father.
