BLOWS UP The U : BOAT
Interesting Revelations Made Regard
ing Work Of British Mystery Ships
Which Play important Fart in
Anti-Submarine Warfare.

London.-lntereStinC revelations re-
garding the work of British mystery
ships which have played an important
! part In antisubmarine warfare are
made by the naval correspondent OF
the Times. They show how British
seamen have met German craft and
| cunning with British craft and cum
ming.
Until this week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ships,
known IN the navy as the 20" ships,
although several officers. notably Capt
! Gordon Campbell, have been decorated
for their services on these vessels. De
tails now can be made public, as the
| Germans are becoming aware through
bitter experience OF the methods used
against them.
BABY" Blows Up Diver.
How woman and baby" accounted
for U-boat is told by the correspon.
dent. The submarine ordered YES
sci to surrender and fired few shells
into it. The boats then left the ship,
leaving on board a woman who ran up
and down the deck with baby In her
arms, as If mad
The UbOat came alongside the yes
sci and the woman hurled the baby"
Into the open hatch. The baby" ex-
ploded and blew out the bottom of the
submarine. The woman" was deco
rated with the Victoria cross.
The correspondent says that the tirst
mention Of mystery ship was in the
case of the Baralong, which on August
10. 1915, sank a U-boat after the tor
pedoing OF the British liner Arabic.
1t will be remembered, he says, that
the German government protested that
there was nothing to indicate the Bara-
longs warlike character. The Bara-
long case was probably not the first
In which ruse was used, and since
then the Disgusting of armed vessels as
innocent merchantmen for dealing with
submarines has attained considerable
dimensions.
"HOwls and moans," adds the naval
correspondent, "went up in Germany
about the treachery of British seamen,
but the German allegations curiously
ceased at the beginning Of 1916. These
allegations afforded typical example
Of German mentality. for they ignored
The fact that in every case the U-boat
was an actual or potential assailant
and any ruse of war is considered legit-
Innate by them except when employed
against Germany
II should not be forgotten he con
times that the Germans designed
mystery ships for commerce destruc-
ton. The British commanders showed

trapping submarines

It was believed that following the con- clusion of peace in the east, mlll- tary superiority had been created in the west In that we have been de- ceived Authoritative circles have underestimated the enemy and this undrestlnation has been communi- cated suggestively to the people.
 "It has not been possible, as a mill itary thought, to crush the enemy We will, on the contrary, be com pelled to do our utmost in avoiding being crushed ourselves.
 "Vice Chancellor von Payer en- deavored in his speech at Stuttgart, to justify Germany's policy in the east He even tried to harmonize his ad- dress wit hremarks recently made by Dr. w. s. So1f, the secretary of state for colonies. This was a difficult un- dertazing, for pr. Solf probably would have spoken quite differently if he had been acquainted with the treaties supplementary to the Brest- Litovsk convention. It is. very char acteristic that pr. Solf, as a member of the government, knew nothing of these treaties.
 '"The time is irrevocably passed when the peoples are willing to spill their blood for dynastic reason. It has been impossible to bring our full force to bear upon the western front, because, as result of our eastern policy German troops must be kept in great strength in the east
 According to the Vorwaerts the at- titude of the German government rela- tive to the first Austrian peace note caused surprise in Berlin. 'There is a cleft in the alliance" the newspa- per says.
 Civil authorities are over-ruled by the military on many occasions, ac- cording to the report of the debate in the main committee. Herr Scheide- mann said that ''at the order of the military some police porter forbids a deputy to discuss a question which today expresses the entire attention of the German public.'
 It is pointed out that he referred to franchise reform. Herr Scheid- mann said the efforts of the military to beat down every free emotion among the people had the result of making conditions at the front "worse and worse.'

SHARP CRITICISM OF
 GERMAN WAR POLICY
Reichstag Members Object to
 Playing Role of Puppets

New York, Oct. 25.-German news papers received here show that sharp criticism of the German military policy was voiced in debate during a sitting of the main committee of the Reichstag late in September. Deputy Ado1ph Groeber of the center party, Philip Scheidmann, the socialist lead CT and now secretary of state without portfolio in Prince Ma.ximilian's gov ernment; Deputy Rischbeck of the peoples progressive party, and Dr. Gustav Stresemann of the national liberal party, were the chief critics. The keynote of their remarks was that the! military policy reduces the civil government to the role of a pup pet.
 According to the Vorwaerts of Sep tember 26, the address of Herr Groe- Der was the greatest surprise of the day. Tn the past he has been a strong supporter of the militarist forces. During the debate he turned upon Chancellor von Hertling and also Gen. von Stein, Prussian war minister, ac- cusing the latter of having forbidden meetings in favor of the peace reso- lution passed by the Reichstag in July, 1917.
 Philip Scheidemann was unsparing in his criticism of conditions which have arisen during recent months. He said in part:
 "The last year has been the worst

the American people but that he is not entitled to dictate to the Michi- gan elecorate who should be elected senator. Senator Williams pointed out that the president has not con- fined his efforts to republican states and candidates but went into Georgia and Mississippi, where he said, demo- cratic candidates were not regarded as desirable and opposed their nom- ination.
 In conclusion Senator Thomas said the republican organization is seek ing support for candidates who have been severely attacked for their course regarding the war. He said Senator Norris, the republican can- didate in Nebraska, is an honest and upright citizen.
 Pacifists Seek Office.
 But the senator's record for pacifism," MT. Thomas said, 'is mo- torious. If I remember correctly he made a speech here placing the dollar mark on the American flag. The man running against him has no such blemish on his record"
 In Kansas Senator Thomas said, Governor Capper, the republican can didate for senator, is notorious for his pacifism," while Representative Roberts, the republican candidate for senator in Nevada, the senator con- tinued, voted against war with Ger many.
 If pacif1sm is the test, why inter fere in Michigan" Senator Smith asked.
 Senator Williams, in reply, said the speech in the senate in which the dollar mark was placed on the Ameri- can flag was "disgraceful," and at least had not been made by Henry Ford, the democratic candidate for senator in Michigan.
 Denying he had any intention of saying anything against MT. Ford or Truman H. Newberry, the republican senatorial candidate in Michigan, Senator Smith said the democratic party was guilty of kleptomania when it took a man out of "the neu- traT' zone and made him its exclu> sive candidate
 Senator Williams charged that Newberry spent "a whole lot of money' in his campaign. Senator Smith denied this, saying Newberry, in his affidavit filed with the secre- tary of the senate, had declared he had not spent a dollar.
 Well, somebody spent it for him" replied the Missouri senator.

STAND BY PRESIDENT
 i. O. ?. CRY IN 1898
Senate Has Lively Debate on
 Supporting Wilson at Polls

Washington. Oct. 25.-Republican i contentious that the third clause in President Wilson's IA peace terms, providing for the removal of econom- i ic barriers, is a free trade plank, 1 brought up political debate in the senate yesterday. Senator Watson of Indiana and other republicans de- clared the republican party objected to fixing by peace treaty or any other treaty the domestic policy of the United States.
 Senator Thomas of Colorado re- ferred to protests by Chairman Hays of the republican national committee and others against contentious made by democratic leaders that a repub- lican victory would be interpreted by the kaiser and our enemies abroad as repudiation of President Wilson.
 Asked by Senator McCumber, re- publican, of North Dakota, if the last senatorial election in Wisconsin when Senator Lenroot, a republican, was elected. had any influence on the German people, Senator Thomas said he did not think so, but added there is a vast difference between a solitary contest and a general election.
 Stand By President in 1898.
 
 speeches made by Col Roosevelt, for mer President Harrison and Senator Lodge in 1898 in which they urged the reelection of a republican con- gress to support President Mckinley on the ground that not to do so would give cheer and comfort to Spain and would, in effect, be re- pudiatiOn of his conduct of the war.
 "If that was true in 1898, it is true in 191S", declared Senator Thomas. Tt is more eminently true because the war is not over and because comparison between the wars makes the other one insignificant.
 Senator Smith of Michigan, repub- lican referred to conditions preced- ing the Spanish war and declared that President Cleveland had refused to permit this country to declare war on Spain.
 "Cleveland was greatly admired by the republicansT' said Senator Thom- as. "He was a very good man, put in my opinion he'll go down in his tory as the arch destroyer of the democratic party
 Senator King of Utah, democrat, said President Mckinley after his election failed to interfere and that 89 republicans organized in the house and threatened to act jointly with the democrats favorirg war with Spain unless the president should change his attitude, That, he add ed was after the Maine had been sunk
 Senator Smith declared the Utah senator was partly wrong in his facts, adding there never was any question about going to war after the Maine was destroyed.
 Senator Williams of Mississippi also charged that Stand by the Pres idcnt." was the republican slogan in 1898, of which every advantage was taken. The argument was unfair then and is unfair politically now, he said.
 Senator Smith said that President Wilson has earned the gratitude of
