he hittp'trt the connins tower of one

I'outrhcrty said:
"Si:dderil I haid a ureal eraflh, und,
looking in thu dlrciion of It, 1 saw tne

"The Hnscuo was also closing up toward

ma the crew who wi-re cropping Into the
wsti-r wnen we heard a second crash. As
tha Hogue began to settle we knew that
j.he also had bt-en torpedoed.
"We drew near, anil at that moment
some one shouted: 'Look out, air, there's
a submarine on your port beam.'
"I saw her. She was about ('.0 yards
away, only her perlsiope showed above

o U-pound shot, but It went over her by
about two yards. That gave mo the
range.
"I fired "gain and hit the periscope.
Then the submarine disappeared. I'p she
came again, and this time her conning
tower was visible, s I fired my third hot
and smashed In her conning tower.
"The men standing by shouted: 'She's
hit, sir.' and then they U- out a 8rat
rheer as the submarine sank, and. while
she was going down two German sailors
floated up from her. both swimming hard.
"After that we shot a trawlor which
was about 1000 yards nway. and evi

got us in our engineroom.
"Then the Crejsy began to turn over.
Our captain was un tho bridge, and In
those critical momenta he spoke some
words or advice to the crew:
'Keep cool, my lads, keep cool.' ho

Tho lecent North S'ea disaster is re

mado by Admiral Sir Percy Scott in Ills
reply to Loid Sydenham a few days
prior to the opening of tho European

At the time Sir Percy, while not un
derrating tho value of the battleship or

tho number of submarines. The latter,
ho contended, were of greater ellu-leney in

Ho said also that they would proe In
valuablo in attacks nn commerce.
Tho truth of his lontentlon he sup
ported by citing the success of the Jap

with torpedoes inferior to thoHe now in

MERCHANT MARINE
SUCCESS A NATIONAL
TEST, SAYS MAGNATE
Responsibility in Great Op
portunity Rests on Govern
ment and Business Men,
According to Delaware
and Hudson President.
XJ3W YORK, Sept. 21. Judge L. F.
I.orce, president of the Delaware nnd
Hudson Railroad, arrived bete today
nbotud tho Southern Pacific steamship
Antilles fiom Genoa. Speaking about the
plans now being promoted for the expan
sion of the American Merchant Mnilne,
ho said that not since tho Napoleonic
wars ha.i io great an opportunity been
presented to tho I'liftcd States to build
up Its shipping and to extend Its foreign
trade.
"Tho extent to which we utilize this
opportunity to establish a Merchant Ma
rino and extend our foreign commerce
will bo n fair measure of the capacity of
our husiness men and the Washington
administration. Tho responsibility for any
failuio, partial or total, must icst upon
on or both of theso forces."
In intoning to the economic losbes sus
tained by the waning nations, Judgo
l.oreo said:
"The thing that most appeals to the
man whoso habit of thought has been
along business lines, after making due
allowance for the vast destruction of
life and tho distress which will mittirally
follovv with the luss of heads of fam
ilies and the support of the disabled, l
the tremendous waste of capital und the
effect uf that loss un the future. Mod
ern Industrial condition tcquire the cuplt.il
investment of ubotit $1000 for emit work
man employed.
"Tho total daily oxpcndituio of tho'
puwers engaged has the piactical effect
of destroying the means through which
I'i men can bu kept permanently at
work. Tho Indirect effect must bo half
again ns large, so that tho ability to
employ permanently coou men Is destroyed
euch day us tho a,r progreses. tif
course, tills docs not moan that these
men will be absolutely Idle, but rather
that the loss must be distributed over
those who uro kept at work.
"The effect necessailly will be espo
dally epvoio on the jounger men geek
Ing employment for the first time. Tho
destruction of capital thiough taxation
of savings, tho Inheritance tuxes and
the Income tax Is Just as ceitaiu and
has Just as baneful an effect at its de
struction through uur.
"Thu authors of these tuxes may not
seem so culpable it the authors uf
wars. but considering the relative
periods of duintion of their nclivitteti,
theso civil destioyeis undoubtedly work
more harm to civilization linn thu mili
tary ones."
Russians Slaughter Many,
According to Report, and
Vast Numbers Desert,
Fearing Muscovite Domination.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-Reporls re
ceived at tho Austio-Hungnrlan Con
sulate Indicate that the Russians In
Austrian Onllcln nre turning on the
Jews, and many, nccoidtng to tho dis
patches, havo been slaughtered.
The dispatches which, are said to
come from official Austrian sources,
gave very few details, but said that tho
Jews wcro suffering heavily at the
hands of the Infuriated Russian troops,
whose officers could hardly control their
actions. Iirgc numbers of Jews In Rus
sian Poland, according to the reports,
are deserting tho Russian cause, fearing
tho increased domination ot the Russian
Government In tho event of a sweeping
victory over tho Austrlans and Germans.
Slnco the Czar's promises of freedom to
tho Jews at the beginning of the war, tho
status of the Jews nnd their probablo ac
tion Imvo bden a subject of much In
terest. A resume of Ihc operations of tho Aus-tro-Hungarlan
army Issued by tho For
eign OlnYe In Vienna was made public
fit tin.' Consulate. It says that tho battlo
near Przcmynl will engage practically nil
tho Austrian forces agulnst a largo Rus
sian army.
"The smnll cruiser Xentn," continues
toe statement, "while blocking Monte
negro, has been nttnekid by tho French
man-of-war Kscurmouclm und sunk after
a heroic fight. So other naval engage
ment has taken place.
"Communications of tho enemy speak
of tho rout of our army In Gnllcla and
of Serb victories, of the capture of Cat
taro, etc., which messages aro all auda
cious lies.
"To date wo have -11,000 Russian and
J00O Poib prisoners. The courage of our
tioops Is admirable. Tho situation In
the Interior of our monarchy Is excellent."
It was further nnnounced that three.
Auntrlnn slilps, tho Ills, Dlnorah and
Huron Way. which wero In the Russian
port of Tangaroff, In the Rlnck Sea, have
been captured without giving them tho
usual grace to leave tho port as pro
scribed by international lnw. None of
the men of thu crew, who were, liable to
military i-erIce, was made prisoner of
war, but nil wero sent to prison. The
wife of the cnptnln of the Iris, with five
children, is said to be retained In a little
hut in the country with scarcely anything
to eat.

LONDON. Sent. ?i
"Germany mntlo n mistake about Indij
. iw iim auuui ireianu, and anybody
who counts on India to be false to Eng.
land will como n, cropper."
In thesa words his Highness the Ag
Kltnn,- tho recoKnlzod inmnnni ,....
of GO.000,000 of East Indian Mohnmm. ll
dans, sums up for tho AVorld corrc- f
spondent tho Indian Empire's status In 'II
tho world's war, Ql
Tho Aga Khan hns dlrerle.i il.
Khoja Moslems, who ulono number .... 'l
crol millions, nnd ot whom he Is tin
fplrltual as well as the temporal head,
to place their personal services and re
sources at tho disposal of the Govern
ment, nnd has volunteered to serve him
self ns a private In any regiment of
Infantry of the Indian expeditionary
force.
Tho Aga Khan laughed heartily over
the suggestion that tho GermanUtle
propaganda might undermine the loyalty
of Great Britain's Indian subjects. Ha
remarked smilingly t ;j
'.Many of my fellow countrymen have
been In Africa nnd havo been tho Gcr.
man administration in tho German East
and Southwest African colonies. They
know what Germanlzatlon of India would
mean, and thoy know, too, that If Ens
land wcro driven out of India, Germany,
thould sho bo successful in this war,
would step in. Tho thinking clement
among Indians of all classes realize that
our country, divided ns It Is Into hun
dreds of principalities, each Inclined to
bo Jealous of tho others, could not hops
to stand alone, even If British rule wcro
withdrawn.
GERMAN PURPOSE KNOWN.
"Germany's twofold purposo In strive
ing to create dissension In India 13 first
to give trouble to England, which might
cost her victory In the war; second, to
seize India ns part of the Kaiser's dream
of world empire.
"This scheme Is as well known to
India as at Berlin. India will need no
assistance from England to frustrate It,
because the Indians fully comprehend the
peril of being crushed beneath the mailed '
fist of Prussian militarism."
Tho Aga Khan's manner becamo mors
grave ns bo continued:
"After nil. the one hope of India lies '
"In the King nnd Emperor and his Gov- ',
cinment. There can bo no united Indli i
until England has tlishcd her work ot j
knitting together into one strong nation I,
the confusing jitmhlo of races, religions '4
nnd castes sho lias governed so sue-
cotsfully for 150 ycats. 1
"An apt comparison Is American j
domination of tho Philippines. But
theie exist now between England and
India affections and sentiments arfjln?
from their long community of interests
which are not yet found between Fill
plnos and Americans.
BLAMES GERMAN VIEWPOINT.
"Such feeling I believe to be Incom
prehensible to the Germans. It 6eemj
to me they totally lack a sense ot pro
portion, arising from a sjmpatheti- un
derstanding of tho needs of unother
people. It is Incomprehensible to them
that Belgium should have resisted their
advance into France. Apparently they
fail utterly to understand the fcdlny
that, for instance, would actuate an
American if an alien nation attempts
to hend an army through the I'nlted
States to attack Canada.
"Personally, my antipathy is pot to
ward tho German people, who possess
many fine qualities, but ngulnst tha
Prussian school of Bernhardt. Nletr
aches and tho Kaiser's Oeneral Staff
a school designed basically for tha
crushing of liberalism and independent
of any kind, whether manifested In
Germany or abroad "
"Will Indian troops be able to stand
ng.ilnsit tho German army, conaklerlw
they hn'Vfl never befoie been permlttel
to light white men?"
"I think to," the Agu Khan rcrlM
with a nuiot f-mlle. "If need lo there
ran be 7'MX) or ".'lon.oflo that wouldn't ,
be n great number to offer from our
33.li'l.ilOI population. No. Despite ths
effusions from Wllhelmsir.isse. you msf
list assured that theie U not tin- llM' v
est doubt as to India's loalty to England."
