Valuable Furnishings
Taken OFT Before SoiIinq

VERA CRUZ, Dec. 20 (Pl.-1ndi-
cations the commander of the Ger
man liner Columbus foresaw the
possibility he might have to scuttle
his ship to escape British warshlps
were seen today in reports that large
amounts of valuable furnishings and
equipment were transferred before
departure.
Members of the crew were said to
have worked eight days prior to
their departure last Thursday in
moving valuables out to the German
freighter Hamelin, which took
refuge here along with the liner.
The Columbus, which put into
port here shortly after the war
started, was fueled heavily, and took
on huge supplies of foodstuffs.
Because of her size, the 749-foot
vessel was unable to enter Vera
Cruz port proper, but lay outside
the harbor, buffeted by winds
Launches had difficulty in bringing
sufficient foodstuffs to the crew of
600
There were unconfirmed reports
the short-ratloned crew became dis
contented over inability to obtain
shore leave, and this was said tc
have been factor in her departure

cided to sink the Columbus rather
than run the risk of an encounter
or seizure after the ship had passed
into the waters beyond the so-called
safety belt"
No Evidence Of Fighting.
superiors, Capt. Badt reported that
the liner was being scuttled and that
British destroyer was nearby,
although there was no evidence OF
any fighting. The British ship was
described in other quarters as a
cruiser.
The crew already had pulled away
from the sinking vessel in % life
boats and the American cruiser
stood by until all the occupants
were picked up. The liners sea
valves were open to hasten her
sinking.
The United States Navy was care
full to observe the rules of neutral
ity, withholding the identity of the
British warship. To disclose 1t
might convey information of value
to Germany, 1t was said.
The Tuscaloosa is the new heavy
cruiser on which President Roose-
welt made a voyage last August from
New York to Nova Scotia and re-
turn. Her commander, Capt. Badt
is SO years old and his home is
Mount Pleasant. Tex. He COM
manded the 1888 Aleutian Islands
expedition of the Navy.
Vowed Ship Would Not Be Taken.
Mexico City friends recalled
that Capt. Wilhelm Daehne. COM
mander of the Columbus. who was
interned in Australia during the
World War, said before leaving Vera
Cruz:
They'll never get my ship-1'll
look out for my crew
The Columbus was the first big
merchant ship built in Germany
after the World War, and was out
stripped later in the fleet only by
the Bremen and the Europa. She
was 749 feet long and was equipped
to carry 1900 passengers and a crew
of 75O.
Two years ago the liner, which
had been in transatlantic service,
was refurnished for Caribbean
cruises. A swimming pool was in
stalled on broad sun deck, along
with an outdoor dance pavilion. The
only evidence of her German own
ership, aside from the sWastika flag
was a huge portrait of Adolf Hitler
over the main staircase
At the time of the Munich Con-
ference in September, 1898, the Co.
lumbus held shipload of Americans
at Cartagena, Colombia, until the
threat of war was dissipated. When
the European war finally broke out
this year. she discharged $50 cruise
passengers at Havana and dashed
for a haven in Vera Cruz.
Desertions at Vera Cruz.
Mexican officials said that while
she was at Vera Cruz, several men,
bers of the crew deserted on the
grounds that food was running low

German Rail Service
Reported Impaired

German railways, faced with
heavy war traffic, forced economies
and shortage of raw materials for
replacements. particularly steel,
have shown an impairment of
service.
This was reported by the Com
merce Department today in a re-
view of the railway situation in
Germany during the last two years.
In the analysis of the wartime
position Of these railways based on
data from German sources, mainly
ofhcial, 1t is pointed out that de-
mands IN the last two years have
been so heavy that available equip
ment could not be retired for neces-
sary reconditioning.

The tanks had not gone halfway
to the hill when a heavy blast from
the anti-tank gun in the clubhouse
resulted in q big explosion right
under the nose of the third tank.

The two other tanks came ahead

One felt that the tanks were like
a man wandering carelessly across a

around him. But the tanks had to
ferry the infantrymen across the
snow field, and they finally got to
the hill.
Machine Gun Silenced.
The Finnish machine gun from
its boulder nest had kept on firing,
but now a Russian mortar located
in timber clump silenced it in a
burst of gushing snow. There was
a deathly, strange silence for a few
seconds, and then the guns of the
Russian tanks roared. The Russians
were making progress to the top of
the hill. When I was on the hilltop
Monday I thought what beautiful
spot it was for sniping at men ap-

place had picked for being sniped
upon.
I looked around at the farmhouse

bare, with a couch against the door
and a laborers bench against the
window. Kitchen utensils left by the
farmer were neatly stacked in a
corner. The stove was covered with
dust where shrapnel had ripped
through the wooden wall and ended
its career harmlessly. I had not no.

was left to sink steamily beneath the
Atlantic. Only two German sailors
were known to have been lost. Thus
ended a desperate transatlantic
dash which, had it been successful,
would have rivaled in daring the
spectacular voyage of the Bremen
at the outset of the war.
The survivors, among them nine
women, were scheduled to arrive In
New York Harbor about pm.
E. S. T., but fog and rain appeared
likely to delay the arrival If they
are found by immigration officials
to be bona fide merchant seamen

country for so days.
But should the investigation show
them to be German navy men, or
disclose that the liner was often
sively armed, temporary detention
or even internment for the duration
of the war might be ordered.
The Tuscaloosa was reported of

New York Harbor, at noon today.

bus survivors at Ellis Island, naval
officers said.
Visibility closed down to 100 yards
as the vessel neared Ambrose Light

The Navy Department has

commander of the Tuscaloosa, on

Although the White House as we'll

deeply interested in the question of
neutrality zone violations, White

Columbus Was Largest

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (P).-The

and that they were refused shore
leave.
The belief was expressed in New
York marine circles that the Colum-
bus was ordered back to Germany
because Nazi officials were elated
over the Bremen's success in eluding
the British blockade. Oslo, Norway,
was given as the destination of the
Columbus on her Mexican clearance
papers.
