sounded, all hands came to station and we
steamed rapidly down ON the enemy.
It was a large beautiful freight and pas
senger vessel, the Guadeloupe of Havre. It
mander could have wished.
AS our prize boat was rowing over toward
the Guadeloupe, we noticed scufae on the
decks of the prize. A number of sailors had
run out of one of her cabins carrying three
black leathern trunks, weighted with iron,
which they now unceremonously cast into the
sea. Two at once went to the bottom; the
third, however, remained af1oat and was fished
up by the two boats which Immediately put out
from our side for this purpose.
On opening this trunk we found valuable
documents and writings addressed to the French
minister of war. In addition, there were mil
lions Of dollars worth Of checks and drafts pay
able at Partisan banks. and though this paper
was naturally of no use to us. our men at least
enjoyed the feeling Of having captured some
thing valuable.
The transfer of passengers proved quite q
spectacle, for there were 294 persons on the
vessel, including many women and few chill
dren. Among the women were some pretty
French girls all about 16 years old and dressed
in the most chic styles. Our crew stared at
these goddesses from respectful distance until
the fair ones were corralled out Of sight. Then

prinz Wilhelm giant passenger ship Of
$4,000 tons. was lying at anchor in
~ Hoboken had but recently been over
hauled and was soon to sail for Bremen with
the usual number of passengers.
Her captain. K. GRAIN. showed no sign Of
what was really going on in his mind. Her
officers talked as If they believed the volcano
upon which the world was sitting was perhaps
not going to blow. after all, when suddenly,
like bolt from heaven, came the declaration
OF war by Germany against Russia.
Capt. GRAIN at once received sealed orders

officer. We, the merchant officers, became au-
tomatically full-hedged naval officers, with all
their powers and duties. In this array I was
designated as watch officer"
In the midst Of this turmoil the lookout Of
the Karlsruhe suddenly rang his alarm. Look
ing up we saw on the horizon the smokestackS
of large English cruiser.
We were taken completely by surprise. Our
extra provisions had not yet all been trans
ferred and we had not taken aboard one-tenth
the necessary supplies Of ammunition. But
there was no time to lose. We could see at q
glance that the English cruiser, which we soon
recognized as the Bristol, fast ship. had rec
ognized the Karlsruhe and was bearing down
full speed
THE karlsruhe now began making q large
l. semi-circle to starboard, while we bent of
to port this action of hers being intended to
give US time to get away.
A running battle at once began, clearly visible
from our decks. The Karlsruhe had brought
her long-range starboard guns into play, while
the Bristol, belching volleys of white smoke and
flame, Numbered away with her own.
When the karlsruhe finally was out of sight
Of the Britisher Comdr. Thierfelder altered our
course to the west, steaming ahead full speed.
For the moment we were safe, but there was
no telling at what instant new enemy might
appear, warned Of our whereabouts by the
wireless Of the Bristol.
For O whole month we cruised about without
taking single ship, and now within three days
it was absolutely necessary that we capture a
steamship from which we might coal

was particularly dark one. At o'clock the
ships bugle began to call to station and the
drum rolled as if to wake the dead. For the
lights OF large steamer had appeared on the
starboard horizon.
Instantly all was in motion. The men, con-
scious OF the ships perilous condition for lack
Of fuel, ready for any action that might rescue
us from it, leaped to their places and stood
ready for the event.
Soon we had come fairly near our prize,
whose proportions were at last plainly discern
ible. AS, however, we were running in COM
plete darkness, we felt that we ourselves were
not seen.
At distance of about 500 yards our rockets
went up, displaying under their glare large
single-funneled British freight and passenger
liner, the Indian Prince-from every sign an
exceptional prize.
The enemy, contrary to our expectations,
seemed not to be worried over our approach,
evidently sure we were a vessel Of her own
nationality. Not until Comdr. Thierfelder sig

Hope for Pay Agreement Is
Slight: Berlin Tries to

By SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press staff Correspondent


PARIS, May 27.-With the Ger
man delegation still standing firm
on its chief reservations, the out
look for an agreement on the repa-
rations problem was darker today
than perhaps at any time since the
conference of International ex-
perts gathered some fifteen weeks
ago to fix the amount of the reich's
war obligations to the allied creditor
nations.
In fact, the sentiment was grow
ing among the American delegates
that DR.. Hjalmar Schacht and his
colleagues on the German delega-
ton we're exhausting all their means
in an effort to drive a hard bar
gain.
For the first time since the nego-
tiations began some creditor dele
gates even favored a break in the
conference, letting the reich face
consequences which probably Sc
riously would affect German credit
abroad.
Owen D. Young, American chair
man Of the conference, labored all
