THRILLING FIGHT OF DECOY SHIP
 DUNRAvE WITH HUN SUBMARINE

London, Dec. 15-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The loss of the British decoy ship Dunraven in a desperate battle with a German submarine, the story of which has now been made public by the British Admiralty, constitutes one of the most daring and heroic episodes of the anti-submarine war With their vessel ablaze, and boxes of cordite and shells exploding every few min utes, the after gun crew stuck to their gun until the magazine explod- ed and blew them and their gun into the air. Meanwhile the battle with the submarine was fiercely waged.
 This action took place in August, 1917. The vessel was one of the de- coys which was commanded by Cap- tain Gordon Campbell, who had pre- viously won the Victoria Cross by heroic and successful work in decoy- ing submarines to their destruction. In her role of an armed British mer- chant ship, the Dunraven was zig tagging her course in the lanes haunted by the submarines when U-boat opened fire upon her at 5000 yards. The Dunraven returned the fire with her merchant ship gun and reduced her speed to enable the Hun to overtake her. To coax him on, wireless signals were sent out read ing: Help. Come quickly. Sub marine chasing and smelling me"
 Finally when the submarines shells began falling close, the Dun raven stopped and the usual panic party" abandoned the ship. The Dunraven was then on fire aft and the submarine closed in to a distance of 400 yards, but was partly obscured from view by dense clouds of smoke issuing from the Dunraven's stern.
 Although he knew that the maga- zine must explode if he waited, and that gun and a guns crew lay con- cealed over the magazine, Captain Campbell reserved his fire until the submarine had passed clear of the smoke. A moment later there was heavy explosion and the Dunraven's s gun and its crew were blown into the air. The concussion started the fire gongs at the remaining gun posi- tions. The screens hiding the guns were dropped and the only gun that could be brought to bear opened fire. The submarine commenced to sub merge. Knowing that a torpedo would surely follow. Captain Camp bell had all the wounded brought up and concealed in cabins. The after part of the Dunraven was a mass of flame but the crew fought the fire with hose while wireless signals were sent out warning all other vessels to keep below the horizon so as not to interrupt the final phase of the fight Twenty minutes later another tor pedo struck the ship abaft the en- zine room. Another panic party" was sent away in the boats leaving the ship apparently completely aban- | doned with the British flag flying and her guns unmasked, but Captain Campbell and a handful of officers and men had remained on board and lay hidden for nearly an hour while the submarine commander held eff watching the burning ship through his periscope.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-12-26

During all that time boxes of cor dite and shells were exploding every few minutes and the fire was blazing furiously. Eventually the submarine emerged astern' where no guns could be brought to bear upon her, and shelled the Dunraven for 20 min utes The U-boat then steamed past the ship 150 yards off and Campbell fired one of his torpedoes at her but missed by a few inches. A second torpedo also missed. The submarine saw it and submerged. A third panic party was planning to jump overheard and leave one gun crew for final attempt to sink the U-boat when British and American destroy CTS arrived on the scene. The Dun- ravens wounded were transferred her boats recalled and the fire ex- tinguished. The Dunraven, in a sinking condition was taken in tow but the Weathcr grew worse and on the following morning she sank with her colors flying.

THE SMALL NATIoNAIITIEs,

One of the biggest problems faced by the peace conference, is the as surfing of the stability among the small independent nations have been created.
 Some of them are constituted of turbulent peoples, accustomed to warfare, and with rival ambitions and ancient feuds. Unless they can live in peace and quiet with each other, the provocations leading to a world war may be even more serious than before.
 The forces of war have created these new independent powers: Po- land, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Hungary, Finland, Ukrania, Lithua- mia, not to speak of several nationali- ties newly formed in Asia.
 These nations, just about to begin climbing the perilous path of self government, in which they have had no training, must be made to realize that wars will not be tolerated. If they have differences, they must sub init them to an international court. And if they will not, their differences must be settled by an international force representing all the powers.
 Otherwise the United States is very likely to be drawn into a world war again. Indeed it may take one or two little wars before all these peo- pies will settle down finally to tho idea of peaceful settlement of all dis putes.
 For the present the new govern ments should be well united by a purpose to prevent Germanism from gaining a preponderance again. Every effort should be made to draw closer together both the great and the lit tie nations, until finally it became as fixed a habit to settle differences in courts of arbitration, as to settle personal quarrels in courts of civil law.
