of the yacht Lydonia in command of

credited with sinking a submarine al
though he never saw it. The Lydona
dropped depth charges after a torpedo
had been fired at a conveyed ship, The
submarine had been reported in that Vi

base it was considered sunk in that en-
gagement.
it is known three American fighting
ships were lost through enemy action
the destroyer Jacob Jones and the armed

which was used on patrol work These
were sunk as the result of collisions and

DEMAND INVESTIGATION
OF BRITISH CAMPAIGN
In East and Central Africa After Gen.
SHUTS Relinquished Command to
Return to England.

London, March II Correspondence Of
the Associated Press According to in
formation received here from Cape Town
demand has sprung up there for
searching investigation into the manner
in which the British campaign was con
Quoted in East and Central Africa after
General SHUTS had reljnquished com
mand to come to England. When he
left it was believed that the campaign
had been virtually concluded.
Owen Letcher, formerly an officer IN
tie East African eXpeditionary force, re
views the campaign in a series of articles
in the Cape Times and strongly advo-
Gates commission of inquiry. Belief
prevails in Cape Town, it is said, that
the sport of yachting at Dar.es- Salaam
and elephant hunting in the interior were
largly responsible for the prolongation
of the fighting.
The campaign is said TO have exceeded
the cost of the Boer war, amounting to
about 81 100000. TO the casualties, which
which were heavy in killed and wounded,
must be added many men who will sui
fer from fever for the rest of their lives.
The work of the Portuguese colonial
forces is criticized, also huge headquar-
ters stats maintained by the British
hundreds of miles from the scenes OF the
actual fighting,
Discussing the Portuguese, Letcher
writes: In common justice to our forces
it must set on record that not only did
the Portuguese colonial army put up
poor defense against the marauding Ger.
mans, but that their presence was a very
substantial advantage to Won Lcttow

THE engagement at Nhamacurra
about 80 miles from Quelimane, which
was fought in the beginning of July

MONARCHISTS

PRESIDENT EBERT
ONLY A PUPPET
Spartacan Revolts Are Elk
pected to Continue, Says
a Berlin Report

London, March l7.--Special dispatches
from Berlin report that the suppression
of the recent Spartacau outbreak there
has shown that military and monarch
ist reaction is growing and overshadow-
Eng the new government.
The Berlin correspondent of the Mail,
who on Feb. p sent a dispatch outlining
plans for monsrchist uprising in Ger
many, has arrived in London, having
left Berlin on March ID after a residence
there of three months He reiterates
that President Ebert, Chancellor Scheide-
mann and Minister of War Noske are
mere puppets.
He declares that for the purpose of re-
tanning power they have allowed mem
bers of the military caste to appear as
organizers of the new republican armies.
"These men are the real governors of
Germany" he SAYS. "They make the
edicts and Chancellor Scheidemann and
his colleagues willingly sign them. Sim
liar testimony is given by other cores
pondents in telegraphing from Berlin,
some NJhIlllB IldI tue I'd ptult VI thS SUI
urh of Lchtenberg has been intention
ally prolonged to exterminate the Spar
tacans, whose treatment by government
troops is said to be sharply condemned.
While alleged atrocities are attributed
to the Spartacans, details which should
be given are denied Even the Vorwaerts
admits them to be much exaggerated.
The correspondents concur in the state
ment that extreme bitterness has been
created against the government troops
and that further trouble is inevitable.
According to a dispatch to the Mail,
the Spartacan revolt will certainly recur
in ever-increasing force unless a miracle
happens. It adds that Herr Noske S
forces have been recruited by brides and
promise of big rations and that to this
may be attributed .some of the food
shortage in Berlin.
