PIRATES WORKING
IN ATLANTIC OCEAN
CREW TAKEN FROM AMERICAN
SHIP AND MADE PRISONERS
ABOARD ANOTHER VESSEL
Secret Service Men Working Trying
To Solve Mystery of Where
Abouts of Men Missing
Ships Long Overdue

Washington-Are pirates operating
off the Atlantic coast?
The crew of an American ship is
missing and what seems to be con-
elusive evidence has been obtained
that they were made prisoners on an
other vessel and taken away to parts
unknown, if they were indeed not
murdered. A second American ship
is long overdue and two other Amer
lean ships are unaccounted for under
circumstances raising suspicion of a
similar fate. The United States gov
ernment has undertaken to solve
these mysteries of the sea which. in
the opinion of officials expressed re-
Gently, point either to piratical oc-
currances off the Atlantic coast or the
seizure of the vessels for the benefit
of Soviet Russia.
The state department has instruct
ed its consular officers to be on the
lookout for the missing vessels or
the members of the kidnapped crew.
The treasury department, through its
coast guard and life saving service,
is making a search of the Atlantic
coast and adjacent waters. The navy
department has sent out vessels to
search. The department of commerce
through its bureau of navigation is
assisting in trying to lift the veil of
mystery.
The department of justice has as
signed some of its best secret service
agents to the case, for the government
is working on the theory that all
these mysterious incidents are inter-
related.
Several months ago the five-masted
schooner Carol Deering of Portland,
Me-, was found abandoned off Diamond
Shoals, n. c., with all sails set and
her officers and crew missing. The
Deering went ashore near Diamond |
Shoals lightship, and when the men of /
the nearby life-saving station went
aboad they found evidence Indicating
that she had been abandoned in hur-
~, for no conceivable reason. for the I
vessel was in good shape, with plenty !
Of food. In fact, it was apparent that
she had been abandoned when a meal
was about to be served.
A little later a bottle came ashore
near where the ship was found and IN
L was a note purporting to have been
written by the mate of the schooner,
which read as follows
can oil-burning tanker or submarine
has boarded us and placed our crew
n irons. Get word to headquarters of
at once"
The captain and crew of the Deering
numbered twelve and not a trace Of
hem has been discovered The Deer
ne had left Portland, Me, last Deem
ler for Rio de Janeiro. Brazil with a
General cargo. It was on her return
'oyage with another general cargo that
he went ashore on Diamond Shoals.
he writing found in the bottle has
cen compared with the penmanship
f her missing mate and hand writing
xperts have testified therein no ques-
lon that the mate wrote the message.

GERMAN WAR SPIRIT,
HATRED FOR FRANCE,
STAGES A COMEBACK
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Feb. IL Recrudescence
of the war-spirit of the German people
which even as late as six months ago
apparently had been completely ban
ished recently has assumed new and
noticeable aspect, particularly IN re-
lation to the French who generally are
blamed for most of the postwar ills
of the German nation.
Civilians and former soldiers alike
express the most intense hatred for
the French aud again are dreaming OF
a day when they can even-up in war
what they have lost in peace. There
is no evidence of ill-feeling against the
English and toward the Americans. of
whom much is expected, commercially,
there is every indication of goodwill.
Fear French Attitude.
England on the whole has been cred
tied with a desire for fair play in the
execution of the Peace Treaty, but in
many sources of opinion prevails that
France is destined to have her way,
even at the expense of the integrity of
the German nation. (This applied to
the situation before the amount of the
German indemnity was fixed)
Agitation in certain French circles
for an independent South Germany,
probably under the domination of Ba-
varia; the alleged pro-Polish attitude
of the French military in the Upper
Silesian zone: the insistence of the
French that the Einwohnerwehr and
other protective organizations" shall
at once disarm: threats of a military
occupation of the Ruhr district; and
use of French negro troops in the
occupied zone. all have contributed to
this revival of race hatred.
Milk Shortage a Factor.
Delivery of mich COWS to the
French has, in view of the milk short
age in Germany and the increase in
infant mortality intensified the feeling
among the civilian population against
the French people.
A German government official with
whom the correspondent discussed the
situation did not agree with some men
who once held high commissions in
the army that another struggle with
France is inevitable but expressed
the opinion that hatred of the French
is a natural consequence of French
conduct" He believed, however, that
superficial aspects had let to eXagger
ated opinions of the war-spirit of the
German people.
Decries Military Appearance.
"For example, German army uni
forms may be seen everywhere" he
said, land especially in the universi
ties. The stranger mmediately jun ps
to the conclusion that this is an exhi
bition of the military spirit. The facts
are that many soldiers, and this ap
plies particularly to students. are
wearing uniforms to conceal the fact
they have no shirts. They are too
poor to buy other clothes"
However, he thought, that other
things being equal" the Germans
would be willing to promptly go about
settling old scores with the French
