GERMAN BOATS FATE IN DOUBT
May Find Resting Place in Depths 81
Lake Michigan.
BY Associated Press.

/ .dN0 SUlOHtHdUs

Chicago, Oct 4.-If naval terms Of
the treaty OF Versailles are carried
out by the allies the U-97, German
submarine with record OF at least
seven allied ships sunk, will itself
be sunk in 100 feet Of water about
twenty miles of Chicago harbor this
fall.
Orders for the destruction of the
U-97 were issued some time ago, but
later withdrawn pending decision
whether that part OF the German
peace treaty which provides for the
destruction OF all surrendered war
craft Is to be put into execution.
There is some difference OF opinion
amongs the allies. France and Italy
especially being anxious to keep
some of the late German ships to
bolster up their own lnavies.
In the meantime the U-s7, which
toured the Great Lakes in the interest
OF the victory loan campaign, fol-
lowing the armistice. is tied up
alongside Perrys old flagship, the
the old-time terror of the seas re-
mains, practically all her machinery
and fittings having been removed the
majority to be sent to the Annapolis
naval academy Her five inch deck
gun rests on the wharf beside the
rust-eaten hulk.
In spite of the quitting process
which the boat haa undergone the
hulk is still worth .s15. 900 to $4,000,
as junk. according to Captain Ed
ward A. Eyers,. naval commandant In
the Chicago district. There Is q large
amount Of copper and brass aboard
which could be recovered by break
ing up the boat. The powerful stor-
age batteries. which formerly ran
the U-boat when submerged; are
still aboard. and probably will go
down with the ship if she Is sunk.
Attic the batteries are worth sew
eral thousand dollars, and an offer
has been made for them by private
purchaser, the naval department res
fused to permit the sale.
If the orders to destroy the hull
are revived the U-97 will be towed
out to sea by the gunboat Wilmette
formerly the steamer Eastland,
which turned over in the Chicago
river in 1915, drowning more than
500 excursionists. About twenty miles
out in the lake the charts show more
than 100 feet OF water, and there
Captain Evers plans to open up the
u-boat's sea-cocks and then batter,
her to pieces with shells from the
Wilmette,s five inch guns.

Wheat From Alaska.

Alaska gives great promises Of be-
coming a wheat growing country and
at no distant time may play an inn
portant part in the nations life.
Quite a good start in this direction
has been made in the Tanana valley,
and the results were SO successful
that the planting will be increased
Many OF the farmers are enthusiastic
about wheat growing, and they are
given every possible encouragement
by the government.
