BRITISH DECOyS IN
EXCITING BATTLES
U-BOats Often Fooled by Innocent
Looking Tramp Steamers

London. Nov. so, Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )--One of the
most exciting chapters of the war
against German U-bOats is a series Of
accounts OF notable engagements be-
tween British decoy ships and the sub
marines. made public by the British
Admiralty. While the whole story OF
the part played by these decoy vessels.
"mYstery ships" or 20" craft has not
been revealed, it is evident that sever
al Of them were used TO lure the Hun
unIcrSea craft to their destruction.
Some incidents in this campaign al
ready have been made known, deal
ing chiefly with Il few of the exploits
Of Commander Gordon Campbell as
master of the decoy vessels but others
in which he and other captains parti
cipated now are available. That at
least small fleet was used in this
work is evident from the fact that
Campbell at different times appears
rs the master of the marlborough, the
ParguSt, tho Dunraven and the Q-5.
The Prize, another decoy ship, was
commanded by Lieutenant William T..
Sanders and the Stock Force by Lieu
tenant Harold Auten.
Stories of the encounters between
these ships and the U-boats are filled
with deeds of heroism and instances
in which the discipline of the British
navy was displayed under the trying
circumstances. For many months
the decoy ships heavily armed but
with their guns hidden behind false
bulWarks, steamed zigZag paths il
thc seas which were the hunting
grounds of the submarine.
In their character Of lazy Golfers or
slow cargo craft they presented to
the submarine commander an inVit-
ing object Of attack, but olce he was
we'll within range of the Britfs!,
guns, the false SupeTstructure hiding
the guns fell away and the HELPLESS
collier became suddenly transformed
into a fighting craft, bent on destruc-
ton. 1t was dangerous work, requir-
.ng the high order of courage for tho
The guns could safely begin their
work. Meanwhile the Hun frequent
ly had seat his torpedo home and the
decoy ship was disabled, sometimes
on fire and part of her crew wounded.
IN that condition the battle was
fought and often the submarine de-
stroyed.
Panic parties was one of the
ruses practiced by the decoy ships
commander to coax the submarine
alongside. When the mystery ship
was torpedoed these panic parties took
to the boats apparently abandoning
their vessel but always leaving on
board another crew to man the guns

HOOVER CONSIGNS GERMAN
FOOD SEEKERS TO HADES

Washington, Dec. 28.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover, in Europe ar
ranging relief for the peoples of the
war devastated territories, has re-
fused to discuss German food con-
ditions with Baron Won der Lancken
and DR.. Reith. A message received
from Paris said these two German
officials who were prominent in the
German administration of Belgium
wired to Walter Lyman Brown, di-
rector of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium, at Rotterdam, that they
had been appointed by the German
government to negotiate with MI
Hoover for food supplies and that
they desired Mr.. Hoover to advise
them when and where he would meet
them. In answer Mr.. Hoover sent
this message: You can describe two
and a half years of arrogance toward
ourselves and cruelty to the Belgians
in any language you may select and
tell the pair personally to go to hell
with my compliments. If I do have
to deal with Germans it will not be
with that pair"

and finish the submarine if it came
near enough.
The first encounter mentioned by
the admiralty took place in March,
1916, when the marlborough, dis
guised as d collier was attacked by q
submarine. The "paniC party" took
to the boats and when the submarine
closed in to about 500 yards the Farm
borough opened fire on her, The
U-boat submerged and the Earn .
borough passed over her dropping
depth homb BIS. The submarino re-
appeared standing almost on end.
five rounds were fired into her at near
ly point blank range and she went to
the bottom of the sea.
Prior to that action the Farm
borough had cruised throughout the
entire winter without being attacked.
within q montn the Farnborough
coa&ed another submarine near
enough to sink her by gunfire. Com
mander Campbell later was trans
ferred to the command OF the O.
and in the following February, 1916,
his vessel was torpedoed by Il subna
rine which eventually approached so
near that IL shot from the Farnbor-
ough beheaded the C-boat captain as
he climbed out Of the tower, the sub
marine was sunk with her coming
tower open and her crew pouring out.
Destroyers towed the Q-5 in and
beached her For this exploit the
Victoria Cross was awarded to Camp
bell.
The decoy ship Pargust with Camp
bell in command was tOrpedoed on
June Z, 1917, while disguised as q
British merchant vessel. The subma-
rine came within fifty yards of the
Pargust, which then opened fire on
her with all guns The submarine
crew poured out of the coming tow
or ond held up their hands in token
of surrender but the U-boat steamed
away trying to escape in the mist. The
Pargust again opened fire on her and
sunk her with one man cllnging to
her bow as she went down. The de-
coy vessel was lowed back to port by
American destroyers Two Victoria
Crosses we're awarded for this sue
