DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
German Submarine Commander Who
Sank lustania Also Now at
Bottom of Sea.

The commander of the German sub
marine that sank the Lusitania is now
at the bottom Of the sea, according to
story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side of Paraguan war
vessel, he met death with dose of
his own medicine.
The story is that the commander,
fleeing from allied justice, took refuge
in Paraguay, where he at once took
out naturalization papers and swore
allegiance to the Paraguan republic.
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command of a Paraguan
man-o'-war, the Adolph Riquelmi. He
had hardly set his heel upon the decks
when he inaugurated the rules which
had been his custom. The crew, with
their Latin blood, could not stomach
the diet as the stolid TeutonS had
done in the old days. SO they passed
him around for a beating, and then
threw him into the sea, far from sight
of land.

HAD THE "THE0DORA" 0DOR
Fancy French Pets Saturated With un-
welcome Perfume Of Marshal
Foch's American Mascot.

Fifty thousand francs worth of pet
dogs were temporarily ruined by Mar
shall Foch's wild cat on the voyage to
France When the marshal, as guest
of the American Legion, had picked
up Theodore from an admiring friend,
he had little reckoned what devasta-
tion was in store.
Theodore was placed in the kennel
room atop the liner Paris, under care
of the ships butcher, who acted as
animal valet for the trip. Believing
that the fluffy Pekinese, and poodles,
and Mexican hairlesses that shared
her compartment did not represent,
like herself, the true red-blooded pi-
oneering spirit of America, Theodore
lay quietly in her cell and exuded the
aroma peculiar to wildcats. When the
Paris touched the shores of France,
the valet handed the pet dogs around
to the group of daintily-scented mad
amoiselles and was greeted with loud
shriekS.
