HARDSHIPS OF

TOLD BY SAILORS

St. Johns With Harrow

NENETY-TW0 ARE DEAD
In CAPE RACE DISASTER

Minutes After Doomed Yes
sell Struck Rocks

st. Johns, N. S., Feb. pa story
of hardship, self sacrifice and unflinch-
ing courage unequalled even in the
Graveyard of the Atlantic, as the
New Foundland waters are named, was
unfolded here today by survivors of the
wreck of the steamship Florizel. These
survivors, 43 in number, left 92 of their
fellows behind them-dead.
Grewsome in its awfulness, tragical
in its fiction-like telling, the story of
the Florizel and her brave rescuers left
q thrill with st. Johns today as prepar-
tations were made to dispose of the
bodies which have arrived from Broad
Cove, where the pitiful hulk of the
pride of the Red Cross line pounds on
the rocks.
Inside of five minutes from the time
the vessel struck, nothing movable on
the main deck was left standing from
amidship aft and she was submerged to
her saloon deck.
The seas smashed through the sa-
loon deck, rushed through the passage
and smashed everything in the way,
Iron bulkkeads also gave way. On 10th
sides of the ship boats and their
davits, with the whole superstructure,
were demolished like matchwood. The
foretop mast crashed to the deck,
manning and killing passengers who
had rushed from their staterooms.
Many passengers were swept into the
sea as they gained the deck. The
smoking room, captains Quarters and
Marconi room were havens for these
men and women. Several met death in
these attempts.
By eight O'Clock Sunday morning 25
or 80 men had succeeded in reaching
the smoking room several had reached
the captain IS room and the Marconi
room was packed to suffoeation. In
this latter room ten feet by ten, there
were at one time 43 men and a woman
Miss Cantwell. Every hour or so
men died from exhaustion and expos
ure and as they fell were removed to
make room. Their bodies were no
sooner laid outside than they were
swept overheard. Thirty-three persons
were taken from this staunch room by
the rescuing party.
Other parts of the ship had their
human cargo closely huddled to keep
warm. Orc by one they died and were
swept away Bodies rolled backward
and forward with the rushing waves.
The smoking room and captain s
room resisted the battering of the seas
until about 10 a. m. Sunday when three
pounding seas in succession swept
across this section. When they re-
eeded both houses and their occupants
had disappeared. In this sweep went
John Mum, Tom Mcneil, Captain Joe
Keen, Jim MeCoubrery and several
others. The Marconi house now held
all those who were alive above decks,

FIVE HUNDRED ARE
CAPTURED in ONE RAID
American Artillery Effectively
Shells Working Parties
Behind Lines
By Henry Wood

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the French Armies in the Field
Feb, 25-(Delayed)-Alo the entire
west front, from the Junction with the
British to the Swiss border, the French
armies are now delivering terrific raids
day and night. These are likely to in
crease in number, size and Importance
until the Germans either begin or call
off their pre-announced offensive.
The present raids are different from
those last winter, being prepared on a
big scale, with immense artillery con-
centration and preparation. They are
only distinguishable from veritable at
tacks in that the infantry, after cap
turing German positions, imprisoning
the occupants, and destroying trench
es, Notifications and material, returns
to its own trenches instead Of occupy
ing the captured trenches.
Two new elements characterizing
the present raids unquestionably sound
the keynote of all 1918 offensive oper-
ations-namely, surprise and artillery
density heretofore unequalled.
The surprise is attained by INSTALL
ing artillery secretly during the night
and beginning preparation without
warning. The overwhelming density of
the batteries permit complete prepara-
tion and destruction of the enemy's
trenches within few hours. Formerly
several days were necessary, during
which the Germans rushed up reserves.
AS a result of these tactics, single
raids last week yielded over 500 pris-
oners Likewise, whore last winter the
sole object of raids was to capture pris-
oners for the purpose of enabling the
French to obtain detailed information
of the Germans offensive plans, the
raids this year have another and most
important purpose. The artillery prepa-
ration for each raid completely de-
'stroys the Germans first line positions
and trenches from which they could
launch their coming offensive.
Owing to the Germans 1918 defens-
i've tactics, which consist of their po-
sitions being held strongly toward the
rear instead Of along the front, raid
ers are often forced to penetrate to the
depth of a mile, destroying all inter-
vening trenches and Notifications.
The raids likewise develop where the
Germans are fortifying themselves
strongest, Saturdays -aids in Alsaee
showed the Germans, fearing French
of Alsaee-Lorraine, have
fortified villages, farms, factories and
trenches into an endless line of rein
forced concrete forts.
While keeping accurately informed
from prisoners Of the dispositions made
by Germans of their forces for the
coming offensive, French raids are

Makes New Peace Drive

\ Amsterdam, Feb. Regarding
recent Swiss intrigues, declare that
we never have sought, and we never
will think of assailing Swiss neutral
ity," Chancellor Hertling declared in
his reichstag speech yesterday, accord
ing to dispatches received here
i ''We hold the greatest esteem and
gratitude toward Switzerland, Holland
Scandinavia, Spain and other neutrals,
who have preserved their neutrality
despite temptations and expressions
''Our war aims from the beginning
have been:
"Defense of the fatherland.
Maintenance of territorial integ-

"Freedom of economic development.
"Even our aggressive warfare has
been defensive. I aim to emphasize the
latter, so there will be no misunder-
standing regarding the operations in
the east.
''It is our sole aid to secure the
fruits of our Ukrainian peace. We do
not intend to establish ourselves in
Esthonia or Livonia. Our chief aid in
Courland and Lithuania is the crea-
tion of self determination and self ad-
ministration. Our military actions
have far exceeded the original aim.
Regarding Rumania, we desire to
be fair with a state with which, on the
basis of the success of our arms, we
are now concluding peace.
