group coming up from below and
trying to push out.
"AlI Mixed Up Together"
There was an awful shambles," ;"
said the pilot. They were all mixed
up together. Some were trying to
get in. Others were trying to get
out"
The plane roared, over the U-boat
four times, guns streaming bullets,
banking steeply each time to swing
around into the attack again while
the rear guns and belly guns kept
Up the fire.
The rear turret was firing prac-
ticallv all the time. All the pilot
remembered hearing besides the din
of firing was the navigator mutter-
ing over and over:
Look at those S coming out
of the coming tower. I've lived all
my life to see those IS coming out
of the coming tower"
When the Lockheed came round
for the fifth attack the U-boat sur
rendered. One of its crew held a
white shirt above the coming tower
and waved it violently.
The Lockheed gunners ceased fire
but continued to circle with their
sights trained. The Germans heads
turned, eyes following them, as they
banked around and the shirt kept
waving.
The plane was flying about so
feet above the water. The submarine
crew, between 30 and 40 men,
crowded into the coming tower.
Not a Smile Anywhere.
"a glum lot they were" the pilot
said. 1--WE were close enough to see
their faces and there wasn't smile
anywhere"
The U-boat was riding so low
that the waves occasionally broke
over the coming tower. The plane
sent several wireless calls for relief
and finally the flying boat arrived.
| Just before dark British warship
steamed up. Men from the ship said
a fierce gale was blowing and the
submarine couldn't be boarded. A
relief Catalina flying boat came
during the night. Now and then
foam smothered the submarine S
light.
When dawn broke the U-boat was
surrounded by warships and her
crew removed. The navy took her
to British port.

LONDON, Sept. s.-Nearly 100

locomotive workshops, authoritative
British reported today.
The majority of the attackers
reached their objective and not a

stated, though two members of one
crew were killed in an accident.
The British said they considered

great use of railway transportation
for troops and supplies.

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicaso Daily News.
The crew of the German battle
ship mutinied and tried to force
her gallant commander to strike his
flag in the last hours of the great
f1ve-day naval battle in which the
British avenged the sinking of H. M
S. Hood by pounding the Bismarck
to the bottom of the Atlantic.
This conclusion to the naval en-
gagement of May 22-27 can now be
revealed despite the decision OF the
British Admiralty to suppress any
the German seamen who wanted tC
scuttle Hitler's unsuitable" warship
and take to the boats.
The mutiny was described to the
British by virtually all of the 100
odd German officers and men whose
lives were saved after the Bismarck
sank with her complement of 2,400
Unimpeachable British sources
among them individuals who ques-
toned the German sailors, con-
flrmed the story of the mutiny to
your correspondent and to the edi-
tors of leading London newspaper
After the Bismarck sank the Hood
the British lost and found the Ger.
man ship again, disabled her rudder
blew away her aft turret and pound
ed her with a merciless lombard
ment of shells and torpedoes before
she was finally sunk at 11:01 am
on May 81. For two hours before
the cruiser DorsetShire closed with
her and dispatched her the Bis
marck's guns were silent. They
were silent because the German
crew mutinied and refused to stand
to gun stations.
The last message of the Bismarck
was wirelessed nearly IL hours be-
fore the end. Admiral Guenthel
Luetjens, fleet commander, proudly
radioed to Berlin: "We are fighting
to the last she'll" Actually for two
hours before she sank the Bismarck
was silent. Not a few, but all, OF
her guns of all calibers ceased fire
simultaneously. She had shells, but
the morale of her man cracked, &C.
cording to the sworn statements oi
the German survivors.
Honoring the tradition of nava
gallantry, the British Admiralty has
suppressed this story of mutiny ir
the last hours. The British admire
the exploit of the Bismarck in sink
ing the 42,000-ton Hood and the
stubborn and skillful way in which
the ship was fought until almost the
end, when the crew could no Longer
endure the pounding by ship after
ship of the British line.
They are outspoken in their praise
of the German commander and hi!
officers, who carried on despite tht
mutiny and the insistence of tn.

81 the ASSoclaLeQ HFtSS
LONDON, Sept. 9-The stiff
necked pilot and weary crewmen OF
an American-built Hudson Lock-
heed bomber received official credit
last night for capture of German
submarine in one of the most amaz-
ing air VS.. sea battles of the war,
and all of them were eager to tell
about it.
The pilots neck was so stiff he
couldn't turn his head. 1t got that
way when he circled over the U-boat
for three and one-half hours after
forcing its surrender by machine
gun fire at part of the crew trapped
on deck.
Il kept my eyes on it every min
ute the pilot said. Then finally
the (American- -builD Catalina fly

Story Told by Crewmen.
The four crewmen and 32-year-
old Yorkshireman captain of the
bomber told this story:
Patrolling far at sea the plane
dive-bombed a submarine just as it
was breaking the surface. A gunner
shouted when he saw it rise on an
almost even keel, surging up through
a mass of wflitecaps
''Machine-gun them! Let's ma
chine-gun them" he called to the
rest of the crew.
Then the plane dived across the
submarine, all guns blazing-front
guns, the rear turret and the belly
gun. AS the plane dived, the sub
marines coming tower hatch was
thrown open. About u of the sub
marine crew tumbled out and
dropped on deck.
The men in the Lockheed thought
the crew was manning anti-aircraft
guns, so they kept their own guns
firing hard. Red streaks of tracer
bullets peppered into the coming
tower and kicked up spurts of water
all around the U-boat.
This was too much for the Ger
mans. Those who were already on
deck turned and ran back to the
coming tower. They ran into q

men down in larger centers.
1t was a more serious note OF city
business that prevailed throughout
the three talks that followed. Mr..
Olsen discussed city planning and
pictured everyday problems OF men
in charge of community affairs. He
recommended Intelligent study OF
needs and constant adjustment to
meet changing conditions.
In logical sequence Mr.. Orlick's
talk followed on traffic study and
relief. He showed maps which he
had prepared to guide his depart
ment in formulating regulations to
relieve congestion and at the same
time reduce the number OF acct
dents. Similar studies were sug.
gested for Ypsilanti as we'll as all
other growing cities.
The closing speaker, Mr.. Patch.
rounded out the study of municipal
affairs by illustrating with expert
ence stories some OF the troubles
OF law enforcement officers. He
stated that thorough study of con.
ditions in Ypsilanti is essential as
a basis for estimating future needs
and that he hopes to have helpful
report for the commissioners OF po-
lice soon after he completes the de.
tailed survey upon which he is now
working.

discussion which terminated in the
decision to offer a reward for APP
