MYSTERY VESSELS
TRAP THE GERMANS
Load of Hay on One Concealed
Battery; Woman's Baby
Got Another Sub.

London, Aug. S.-Interesting revela-
tIons regarding the work Of British rnys-
tery ships which have played an important
| part IN anti-submarine warfare are made
| by the naval correspondent Of the Times
They show how British acarncn hnve met
German craft and cunning with craft and
cunning
Until this week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ships, known
IN the navy as the %" ships, although
several officers have been decorated for
their services on these vessels Details
now can bc made public IA the Germans
are becoming aware through bitter OK
periencc of the methods used against them.
How woman and baby" accounted
for U-boat IS told by the correspondent
Tho submarine ordered vessel 10 sur
render and fired few shells into her. The
boats then left the ship, leaving ON board
woman who ran up and down the deck
with baby III her arms as II mad. The T.
boat came alongside the vessel and the
woman hurled the baby into tho open
hatch. The "baby' exploded and blew out
the bottom of the submarine The
woman WAS decorated with the Vic
toria Cross
The correspondent says that the first
mention OF a mystery ship was in the case
of the Baralong, which on August ~,
1918, sank Il-boat after the torpedong
of the British liner Arabic II viii be re-
membered, he Gays, that the German
government protested that there was
nothing to indicate the Baralongs war
like character The Baralong's case was
probably not the first IN which ruse was
used, md since then the Disgusting Of
armed vessels as innocent merchantmen
for dealing with submarines has attained
considerable dimensions.
In addition 10 the woman and baby
case the correspondent mentions the story
of n retired admiral, serving as n captain,
who placed n haystack on board an ancient
looking craft. When the U-boat ordered
her TO surrender, the Germans were MS
tonshed to receive a broadside from tho |
haystack
On another occasion "a eca-worn tramp |
steamer was crossing the North Sea when |
a submarine ordered the crew to abandon |
ship. So sure was the German of his prey /
that the bombs with which he intended TO |
sink the vessel were brought on deck /
around the coming tower The com |
nander of the tramp steamer by careful /
brought the submarine with
in range of his concealed armament SO
hat it required only shell or two to ex-
plode the bombs and blow the U-boat out
)f water.

Staging Their Own Movie.

Strange countries for to see," was
the motive that led two Salisbury youths,
Herman and Harry Ward, fourteen and
twelve, sons of Selhy Ward, to take a
trip, unescorted, which ended in Balti-
more. They accumulated stake of
something over twenty dollars, part of it
abstracted from the family treasury; took
IN Wilmington, very properly, as part

to the News of that burgh, they landed

lieutenant and two sergeants, one Of the
latter from Milwaukee, crossed the Vesle
River into the outskirts Of Fisrnes. and
before they knew it the three were inside
the German lines. They were crawling on
hands and knees when the Milwaukee
sergeant saw through the darkness another
crawling figure approaching
The Americans realized that they had
encountered an enemy and waited for
him 10 make the first move Instead Of
continuing forward the enemy demanded
II German, who goes there?" The
Milwaukee sergeant answered with his
best German words, In preference to using
his pistol, seeking 10 avoid arousing any
additional Germans
But the enemy prowler, apparently
detecting an American accent, opened
fire and German reinfoTcements quickly
came into action. The Americans lodged
aside IN the darkness and the Germans
fired In such haste and confusion that
they shot several Of their own men.
The Americans sought refuge in i'm
promptu hiding places where they re-
manned until dawn. Then, at last being
able to see the proper direction, they
made dash for the south side Of the
Vesle and safely reached it.
Another Milwaukee sergeant, who
was assigned for duty with a bridge
building contingent, was slightly wounded
in one of his feet recently. He made use
of his first aid kit and it was two days
before his companions discovered by
chance that he had been wounded. The
determination of this sergeant to stick it
out is only one illustration Of numerous
cases of Americans remaining on the lob

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
SEE DEFEAT AHEAD
Out of the Gloom They See That
An Invincible Fatherland is
Vain Conceit.

London, Aug. S.-The despondent tone
OF the latest German press comments Is
emphasl zed daily In special dispatches
from Holland. \ dispatch TO the Daily
Mail from The Hague today includes an
editorial by the Dusseldorf Nachnchte
which says nobody looking into the flu
ture can see an end TO the war.
'For though 1t is true the end might
come quickly, it adds, 1T could only be
an end of terror, as IN Russia.
The Norwaerts, OF Berlin, says events
of recent days at last have shattered the
illusion, created by inspired optimism,
that Germany is invincible 1t SAYS:
The German people at last realize the
colossal gravity OF the situation Let
US have courage to admit that SO long as
the war Is not ended, 1t Is not won and
can be lost"
The principal North German organ of
the majority Socialists, the Buerger
Zeitung, of Bremen, says:
BLACK and dark is the hour The
sacrifices made by the people arc I'M
measurable, and those of the fifth year
OF the war Will be gigantic, but no refresh
ing breath OF freedom and civil equality
blows through the oppressive night OF
our discomfort"
Zurich, Switzerland, Aug S-The Ger
man hope of ending the war by military
decision before the arrival of the Ameri-
cans was blasted by the recent Allied
offensive, the Socialist newspaper Arbeiter
Zeitung of Vienna, asserts in concluding
recent article on the military situation
"All explanations and comments can
not alter the patent fact that in this
double offensive, the gain of ground and
consequently the only visible sign of sue
cess IS on the Allied side, the newspaper
says
While it is admitted this victory
does not yet POSSESS any decisive char
acter, there is one result which cannot
be called in question-the strong moral
effect produced by the three German
oifensives against Amiens and Paris
have BEEN completely destroyed The
Allies today have chief whose name
inspires confidence and whose ability
is IN no way inferior to that of Ludendor4f
or Won Hindenburg Furthermore, the
only hope of the Germans to end the war
IN military way before the Americans
were in line has disappeared as a result
of this last French offensive"

stories of the pluck of American

These men are continually sniping
the enemy, preventing the Germans
from making advances, ignoring the
enemy's artillery and working with
little food until relieved and sent to
the rear.
