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

The commander of the Getnan sub
marine that sank the LusitaniA, Is now
at the bottom OF the sea, according to
a story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side of a .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 The at once took
out naturalization papers and swore
allegiance TO the Earaguan republic.
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command of IA Paraguan
man-O'-war, the Adolph Riauelmi. He
had hardly set his heel upon the decks
when he inaugnrated 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 Il beating, and then
threw him into the sea, far from sight
OF land.
