Yesterday
Canadian Island, Campbello, New
Brunswick, Aug. 21 (By I. N. S.).
Two heavily armed German U
boat officers, wearing long linen dus
ters over their uniforms, today held
up Miss Willa Wilson, the twenty-year-old
daughter of Captain Simon
Wilson, of Wilson's Beach. After
questioning her about Eastport,
Maine banks and United States coast
matters, the Germans allowed her to
proceed, after threatening to kill her
on sight if she told of her experi
ences. By the Associated Press
A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. j
21. The steam trawler, Triumph,
fitted with two guns and wireless,
and manned by sixteen Germans
from the U-boat which captured her
yesterday, is raiding the fishing
banks off the Nova Scotia coast.
Crews of, the schooners sunk by the
Triumph have arrived here. Vessels
known to have been sunk by the con
verted raider are the Una P. Snun-'
ders, of Lunenburg; the E. Piatt An- !
drew, of Gloucester, Mass., and the I
Francis J. O'Hara, of Boston. '
Captain Wallace Bruce, master ot
the E. Piatt Andrew?, said on lili nr-
rival here that his vessel was held '
' up by the Tilumph yesterday after
nopjwincl ttin,t he and hip crew were i
given ten minutes to leine the ship, i
The Germans then ank her with
bombs.
Creiva Take tn Iloata
The raider then bore down upon the
Una P. Saunders and the Francis .1.
O'Hara nnd sunk them likewise. The
don ies carrying the crews of the three
vessels reached here at 10 a. m. today.
The fishermen say that while making
for 'this port they heard firing and be
lieved other fishing vessels were sunk
1 by the raider.
Captain Myrrhe, master of the
Triumph, who landed here with his
men this morning, said he was told
by the captain of the submarine which
captured his vessel that he was only
one of six U-boats operating on this
coast.
"We Intend to destroy the Ashing
fleets," the German commander said
to Captain Myrrhe.
A German submarine late yesterday
seized the Triumph. The crew, said they
believed that the Germans Intended to
use the trawler as a raider. The fish
ermen reported that the U-boat is
"playing havoc" with the fleet of fish
ing vessels on the Grand Banks. I
Triumph Belied on Banka
The Triumph was halted on the Ash
ing banks by the U-boat and the crew
was permitted to take to the dories. I
The fishermen said that the trawler was i
still afloat when they last saw her. I
An armed guard of Germans had been .
placed aboard and jio preparations were I
being made to sink the ship, the )
Triumph's men said. I
This led them to the conclusion that
the Germans Intended to use her as a
raider.
The Triumph Is owned by the North
Atlantic Fisheries Company and Is one
of the crack boats of the fleet. .
By the Associated Press
Iloaton, Aug. 21.
Fishermen here said today that if the
German submarine made use of the
trawler Triumph, seized yesterday, as a
raider, they would have to recoal the
craft at least every ten days. The
Triumph was manned by a Canadian
crew and Is owned by a Canadian com
pany. The vessel Is 125 feet In length
and registers about 260 tons gross.

For years he had reaped the benefits
of free America, and had amassed a
comfortable fortune In this city. t bis

The other Germans Interned are Karl
von Graeve, Allentown, Pa , who, as a
worker In the Bethlehem Steel Works,
convinced the Government agents that
he was a dangerous man, and Herman
Martens, of Hock Island, 111. The latter
was arrested In this city.
Although Von Graee nnd Martens
are regarded as dangerous men,- they
are not classed with Feldman, for agents
of the Department of Justice feel that
the latter, owing to his education and
knowledge of the country, could render
gical service to the Kaiser.
To make certain that he is closely
guarded and cut off from any possible
communication with German undersea
boats and spies, it was felt that the
safest course to follow would be Intern
ment for tho duration of the war.

Aug. 21.
Comparative quiet continues to pre
vail on the American front along the
Vesle. This means that there Is no
Infantry activity nor movement ot
large scale resulting in a material
change In the line.
However, the days and nights are
marked by artillery activity much
above the normal for a stabilized front,
and German nerlal bombers continue
their activity. For the last two days
the Germans have been sending over
a good number of gas shells Into vil
lages where they think our troops
are billeted. They dropped 700 shells
Monday Into ono hamlet, but Ameri
cans were not billeted there, having
moved twelve hours previous Our
suns also were busy.
A German prisoner taken Monday
tvas brought back to headquarters.
The first thing he asked was. "How
long before T am' going to be shot."
When told that the Americans would
not shoot him, be replied:
"Oh, yes, you will. My captain told
me that you treat prisoners nice for
a little while until you get all the
Information you can. and then shoot
them. You have now been nice to
me for a little while. It Is as the
captain said. I know you will shoot
me."
Sol manv nrisoners have given voice
to this belief thnt a enptured Gorman
officer was confronted hv a German
private while he, told his fear. An

Paris, Aug. 21.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of
Illinois, who Is in France on a Govern
ment mission, said yesterday that the
Congressional election this fall would
furnish ample proof to Europe that the
Wilson Administration has the sup
port of the entire country In Its war
policies. Then the Senator jumped
ahead two years to the presidential
campaign of 1920, and, in the course of
a long breakfast Interview, gave me a
forecast of what 'he said was going to
happen in American politics.
"Of the present Republican and Dem.
ocratic parties." he said, "wo will have
nothing left but their, names. The
names will stick because they are old
but the old parties are already finished
so far as their former traditions and
activities are concerned.
"The next presidential campaign
will be on Issues growing out of the
International peace conference rather
than directly out of the war Itself.
There will be then a big International
Issue in American politics on whether
the United States should have formal
defensive and offensive alliances with
other countries, or continue Its old
freedom and retain the privilege of
co-operating in the future with this or
that country, or group of countries,
long enough to attain a specified
worthy object, and no longer. There
