There have boon Humorous reports re

from vessels taken by tho raider, all said
there was at least ono captured vessel with
the Moewo, acting as auxiliary raider.
Tho Voltnlro and Mount Templo were
both previously known to have boon sunk
In South American waters.
The nbnvo dispatch gives the 111 st definite
Indication of the South American raider as
the Moewe. Sho had previously been re
ported from unofllclal Allied and neutral
sources as tho convcited cruiser Vlnetn.
The Moewo on the second raiding cruise
JuFt concluded succeeded In breaking all
records for eluslveness. Her record of
ships sunk, as reported above, Is two less
than that of her famous predecessor, tho
Kmrten, which sank twenty-throo vessels.
But tho Kmden herself was destroyed.
On her first raid tho Moewo was credited
with sinking fifteen ships, so that with tho
twenty-one reported now she has nccounted
for thirty-six. essels a record In naval
war. Her depredations have probably cost
shipping In the neighborhood of J17.000.000.
In the Mocwe's cargo of bootv from tho
llrst trip was $200,000 In gold taken off tho

First reports'concernlng tho South Amer

TWO GO TO PRISON

Pleading Guilty
JUDGE CALLS' LAW WEAK
NKW YORK, .March 22. Albert O. San
der and 'Carl N Wunnenhnr n .n.
tenced todny to servo two years In the Fed
cral Penitentiary and to pay fines of $2500
each on pleas of guilty to charges of send
ing spies to England.
Tho two men pleaded guilty yesterday
when revelations of George Vaux Ilacon,
nn American newspaperman, brought back
hero from England, laid baro the plot. In
visible Ink used In transmitting valuable
Information In seemingly harmless commu
nications figured la the cvldcnde placed bo
fore tho Grand Jury which Indicted the
men.
In a scathing nrrnlgnment ot the two
men Judgo Van l-'leet declnred that the
penalty for such cases was Inadequate and
asked the District Attorney's olllce to bring
"this serious thing before the Department
of Justice nnd Congress." The mnxlmum
penalty Is three years' Imprisonment and
$3000 (Inc.
"The sort of thing these men did." thp
court said, "does not bespeak clemency for
,,.r.M. ..i.i we enaii novo to taKo into con
sideration the fact that they pleaded gulltv.
It Is such acts as these that have been the
cause of Involving us In the war. The
thing that strikes mo most is tho total In
adequacy of this statute to meet the of.
fenso Involved. 1 cannot help but believe
theso men pleaded guilty simply to shield
the names of others that would have come
out In an Investigation of the case had It
gono to a thorough trial."
District Attorney Knox, In nddiesslng
the xourt. brought out the fact that news
paper correspondents sent abroad to carry
forward the spy work cairled Invisible' Ink
concealed In a pocket Inside the tops of
their socks. Knox declared the department
had definitely learned It was the purpose
of the newspapermen employed as spies
to locate antl-alrciaft bases In London and
other big Ilrltlsh cities.
Bacon, who was indicted with Sander
and Wunncnberg, will be tried here, It Is
understood, nn tho same charge on which
they were sentenced today. The Ilrltlsh
Government, which nnested Ilacon, permit
ted ins return to tins country that his tes
