CAPTURED SEAMEN l REACH NEW YORK
Men Taken Prisoner by Fa- nous German Sea Raider
 Arrive From Brest
By Associated Press

New York, January 14.-Capt. A. Ol- son, skipper of the American schooner Encore, and First Officer M Buckard of the American bark Beluga. both Cal ifornians, have reached New York after months of adventure as prisoners on the famous German sea raider Wolf and in German prison camps. They presented themselves today before the United States shipping commission with only 15 cents between them, having arr rived on the freighter Westhumaw W from Brest.
 Buckard and Olsen agreed they were well treated on the sea raider. badly used at Kiel, and rob bed, cheated and half starved at Villingen, the Germans even keeping the 100 marks per man sent them by the American govern ment.
 Buckard's ship was captured by the raider. according to their story, on July y, l9l1 near Cape Horn and O1sen's Tn the same vicinity on July fl. Both crews were taken aboard the raider and the ships sunk. From that time until February, 1918, they were pris- oners on the raider, while she cruised III the southern Pacific, the southern Atlantic. the Caribbean sea, and the coast of Africa, capturing and footing allied merchant ships.
 Then with SSo prisoners aboard, she headed for home
 When the raids were few and far between the food supply ran low, but We noticed that the crew of the Wolf were given the same fare we got and so there was nothing to kick about" said Buckard.
 If l live to be 100000 years ola I snail never forget our arrival at Kiel In pllndIng snowstorm,> March Il last. None Of us was warmly clad and we were herded into an old shed, where we remained 4S hours, suffering from ex posture and hunger
 On the third day we were trans ierred to the notorious prison at Will lingen. and 100 times in the nine months that followed I wished I was back on the Wolf"

Anpistonf January H.-(Special )-With Col. John s. Hammond. tbe officer pre- ferring charges against Lieut.. Col. Will liam Brooke, on the stand during the greater part of Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, the hearing of the case is extending over greater period of time than any one interested in the case expected when the court martial was organized last Thursday with Brig Gen. Thomas IT. Rees of the Twentieth field artillery brigade as president.
 On direct eXamination- by Lieut. Col. A. R. Brindley. Colonel Hammond testl- fled substantially to the allegations con- tained in the nine specifications against Colonel Brooke. The direct examination of the officer preferring the charges was brief and to the point and the answers came from the former camp commander without hesitancy.
 On rebutal examination which, was conducted by Maj F. T. Graham of Montgomery, associate counsel for the accused officer hundreds of questions which have been testified to by the diff ferent witnesses in the case have been brought out by the attorney.
 Spectators and those who are interested in the progress of the case have long ago reached the conclusion that the end of the case is an unsafe subject for sug- gestion even.
 Whether the prosecution and the de- fense have any cards concealed in their sleeves concerning the introduction of additional testimony is not known, and the case may be concluded abruptly or lit may be nearing Sunday again before the four brigadierN generals and half a dozen colonels find themselves en route to their respective stations.
 . The court was closed IIriup the teSti- mony delivered by Colonel Hammond. James w.. Vose, who testified to the eff feet Nearlier in the trial that he knew of no arrangement for the appearance of the 157th depot brigade band in Annistor. on September 20 was recalled to the stand Monday afternoon and amended his testimony to coincide with the evi- dence of press representative that he had made the announcement through his office and that the article was killed be- fore publication. The witness insisted that the article in question was author ized for September 20, while another wit ness contends that it was one day earlier.
 The first specification against Lieuten- ant Colonel Brooke grows out the in cident of the bands expected appearance in Anniston on that date, and he is charged by Colonel Hammond with hay ing made false statement in reference thereto.
