C. —A narrative 1 of the tubmarine attack upon the ; Channel steamer Sussex by Edward ; Marshal!, the Journalist, who was a' passenger on the ill-fated vessei, was | rondo available for publication In ai white book issued by the State De- ! y art men t containing all of the papers relating to the attack upon the Sus- SKX The evidence and testimony upon which the United States nased It case agr.li:3t Germany is fully set forth ;n tha white book. A'! of the essential features of this evidence have been published. Mr. Marshall's aftidavlt. however, af fords an account of the disaster which the news dispatcher at the tlmo could not have given end -.vhich would rare ly be available in of this sort. Here is the affidavit In pari: "There Is no doubt in my mind , that tho vessel was torpedoed. I my 3'vlf did not see tha approach of the \voapon, but I heard cne of the. higher o.fHcers of the Sussex say to a British naval passenger that he bad seen it and the quartermaster, who was on ■he bridge with the captain stated to a friend of mlna who was In a small boat t.-lth him after the disaster that he, ti>e captain, and others on the bridge saw the wake of the approaching tor pedo ajid steered the ship so it might if possible escape. Other Wreckage Around "Thore seems to be absolutely no ' support for the floating mine theory and every possible support for the tor pedo theory. Not long before tho shock came we had passed floating wreckage, Indicating the destruction of a vessel. From the deck of the Sus- j sex this flotsam seumod to be balled tobacco, hut that is a mere guess. Con- | corning the Identity of the shattered ship which bore it I nave been unable 1 to '.earn anything. "I was sitting in the smoking room j when the shock came. I was very definitely Jarred and was aware In stantly that we had been blown up, but was not seriously shatteri. At n table j just aft n* where I sat, not more ihan I six or seven feet distant, a heaxy man j >\-as thrown Into the air, coming 'otva head first i:pjn the chair (n ( TUESDAY EVENING, which he had been sitting with force J sufficient to break the chair, j "Of course, I hurried to the outer jdeck. The sun was shining brightly, ;the sea was very far from rough, being | animated by nothing more than a gen- I tie swell, but a strange, uncanny sound j was In the air vibrant, chilling. It was a moan from the ship's company. II heard no screams. Crew's Lack of Training "There was no mad panic. Women became hysterical and some men lost their heads, but the reported scram ble for the boats Is not true. There j was amazingly little excitement, but 'there was something quite as dreadful, which was the lack of training on the part of the crew. Captain Mouffet was on the bridge. I "The vessel was probably struck just • ift of the bow. It may be that the shot was directed against her very cut water. At any rate, between a third and a quarter of the ship was cut off as with a mighty knife. I reached the outer deck in time to see this sev i erea portion of the vessel before It j slowly, unsensationally sank. J '"Still there were no screams but the j curious moans as or many people in slow pain grew louder. Women kept ;'.heir heads amazingly. Mrs. Dorothy iW. Phillips Hilton, daughter-in-law of | the late Judge Hilton, of Xew York came up to me " 'I can't find my daughter,' she ex i claimed 'I had seen her walking with a beautiful young girl about 22.' I went with her about the deck to look for her. but we co'ild not find her anv wfcere. Crowd About Boat "The crowd about the boats had be jcome dense immediately after the stunned pause which followed the ex plosion. From the very first I had not the. slightest thought of trying to get into a small boat and so of these , proceedings t was only an interested land presently a horrified spectators. The captain was on the bridge. Prob ably the concussion somewhat stunned him for a few moments, for the ship literally had been sheared away just forward of the bridge, so near to it in fact that the foremast had gone down. He was not panic stricken but like a man whose brain Is dulled. "Subordinate officers were very competent but Immediately were con fronted by an utterly unseamanllke crew, wholly Inefficient in such emer gency. Some of them began to work at the lines about the davits from I which the boats swung, but they work ed incompetent. Passengers helped them.in competently . Still there was no panic. RfVl# I'llwf 6 "But presently one of the boats touched water. Then there was a rush for It. This seemed to be in fer! lous. Some men slid down the (rope into the tiny craft, some women jumped for it, some threw children ' into it Presently It was overloaded and without much difficulty was cast ; otT and floated free of the vessel. This was the first boat I saw to thus float free. It then seemed certain that the ! vessel presently would sink and I call jed to sotne one in the boat to get to i a distant thinking that otherwise the Auction of tho drowning vessel might Itake her down with her. But no one j heard me. LIKE OUTPOURING FROM INFERNO Trains of Totally Wounded Contain Ghastly Assortment of Parts of Men Stockholm, , Sweden. June I.—The great task of exchanging wounded prisoners between Russia and Ger many through Sweden will be con tinued throughout tne summer. The exchange applies only to those pris oners totally unfit ever to serve again. One glimpse at a train load of these miserable war derelicts leaves no doubt as to their disability. Missing legs, missing arms, sightless eyes, shattered jaws, twisted spines and here jnd there the glassy stare which tells its own story of a burned-out-brain— those are the evidences the Swedish people see of the war that surrounds them. The transfer through Sweden is handled entirely by the Swedish Red Cross, or "Roda Korset," of which Prince Carl, brother of the king, is the actual and active nead. The Ger man prisoners are received from the Russians at Haparanda at the Swed 3h-Finr.tsh frontier, only a few miles south of the sweep or the Arctic Cir cle. In trains specially fitted for their use the maimed and twisted wrecks of men are taken south through the entire distance of Sweden, a Journey of three nights and two days, the pace of the train being timed for the utmost comfort. At Trelle borg, the southernmost part of Sweden, the one-time soldiers of the Father land are placed upon German hos pital transports for the short sail across the southern reach of the Bal tic to the German port of Sassnitz. From there they are taken to Ham burg and held in detention for one month as a guarantee against the im portation of any infectious disease. This quarantine period ended, the men, most of them dependents for life, are returned to their relatives and homos. Ghastly Assortment In the case of the Russian prisoners 'he operation is just reversed. They are received from the German ships at Trelleborg and are taken to the north through the glowing sunshine and the mysterious nights of the Arctic lattitudes, where soon the days will fade one into the other with only a shadow of twilight in between. The work has begun this year with one train a week in each direction. This month the number will be increased to three in each direction. The trains consist of sixteen cars and have a ca pacity of about 235 soldiers.. When the work Is fully under way the rate of exchange will be about 3,000 pris oners a month. As the percentage of "totally unfit" among the men must be comparatively small, some idea may be gained as to the total number of prisoners held on both sides of the Russian-German battle line. Ihe first train started north from HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Trelleborg with the burden of 230 physical and mental deficients —a ghastly assortment of parts of men. As they hobbled or were carried down the gangplank of the hospital steam of that Trelleborg the procession seem ed like a veritable outpouring from the depths of an inferno. It was plain to be seen that each man there had come to grips with Death and had fought his way out of that grim clutch only at a terrible cost of wound and scar. Pallid faces and sunken eyes told the story almost quickly as empty sleeves and folded trouser-legs. Down the narrow steamer plank they came awkwardly trying to manipu late the unfamiliar crutches. A right leg was missing here, and a left there, and in some cases perhaps only a foot gone. Just a Remnant of Body The debarkation rrom this strange ship of broken men had been under way for ten minutes perhaps when there suddenly appeared among the human fragments at the foot of the gangway a man who had been entirely lost sight o? as he made his way to shore. Both of his legs were gone and his head scarcely showed above the gangway rails as he swung the remnants of his body along between two stubby little crutches. It :.oon de /eloped, however, that he was rot alone in his misery for there were several others like him. It t.eemed that the crutch process would never end, for the doctors said the number of "leg cases" was unusually high in this first shipment of human wreck age home to Russia. One of '.he leg cases was a boy of 15. His left limb was gone well above the knee, but with the dexterity of youth he had learned to hop along with only one crutch and had thrown the other away as so much impedimenta. Men Crazed By Battle But soon the "arm cases" and the "hand cases" were very much in evi dence and at last came the wholly helpless. There was one soldier with right leg and both eyes forever gone, another with an arm pone and a shattered foot supported In a rope sling about his neck. Then came the men crazed by the shock of battle or suffering from acute melancholia. One of the latter never ceased to cry. There were but three Russian olfi cers In the first exchange. Two of these were medical officers. One w;»s paralyzed as a result of typhus, an other was in the last stages of tu berculosis. Few of tho Russians had ever seen tho sea until they were tak en aboard the transport and on the voyage across the Baltic most of them were violently 111—a happy ship's com pany indeed. Through the courtesy of Prince Carl the correspondent or The Associated Press was extended the privileges of the Red Cross train. It was wonder ful to see the difference one night on neutral soil and an understanding that they' were really bound for Russia at last egected In the men. When the train stopped at a Junction point for breakfast the poor cripples hobbled to the station platform, most of them ap parently happy and wholly content CIVIL ENGINEER'S SUGGESTION ON PROPOSED NEW BRIDGE i fiMitr «i v a Ul.ik't*'" $ . J-f .1 ®* Since the City Council has chosen nn engineering: firm to submit pinna and specifications for tiie proponed bridf at Walnut street there h-" been mon or IPSB discussion of the kind of structure which should bridge the tracks at that point. Until th<> Board of Pub.ic Grounds and Building: hall hav« taken some action no definite plan can be made regarding the approaches on the western sidu of the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad. M. S. rihotwell, of this city, civil engineer, has submitted a suggestion which provides for a subway at Walnut or State streets and n viaduct on th« eastern side of the tracks instead of an overhead bridge across the railroad right of way. Herewith is printed Mr. Shotwell'a idea of how the problem inltfht be treated either at Walnut or Stato streets. \ with life. Oddly enough the broadest [ smile wreathed the face of one of the j Tien with the fewest legs. Breakfast was ready and piping hot. It was a I bountiful repast of meats, fruits and [ vegetables, each mati with a glass of milk and a cup of coffee. There was nothing of the haste of extreme hun-i Ker, however, tn the manner the meal j was approached. Everything was l calm and orderly. The men with out legs were helped on the eating 'benches, the others largely managed i for themselves. Only about 30 meals Iliad to be served on board the train. | One man at the table fainted away as .the food was brought on and wilted into a heap on the diningroom floor. | Red Cross orderlies carried him back to his bed on the train, j The train stopped for two hours at the breakfast station, was quite thor- | oughly cleaned and resupplied. After breakfast there was u promenade of the wounded up and down the plat- , form. A party of three Americans ! who had obtained permission to visit the station, distributed cigars and icigarets among the men and soon all were smoking as they scrambled ] along. Each man also had a flower i on his coat, pinned (here by the pink- j cheeked Swedish girls who had served j breakfast. The tables, too, had been I [decorated with blooms. The wound ed men were well clothed in regulation | prison uniform furnished by the Ger J mans. The overcoats were well made i jif a trifle light for the rigors of a i northern winter. The German shoes appeared sturdy and strong. Going Home to Stay i All of the Russians said they had been well treated in Germany and that 'the German nurses in particular had I been very kind to them. "But they probably will tell another | story in Russia," said a Swedish doc tor; "not that they mean to be ma-1 : licious or misrepresent matters, but | they are anxious for all the sympathy ] | they can get." j Before it was time for the train to 1 j resume its journey a group of pris- j joners gathered at line end of the sta-i tion and began to sing. Their leader was one of the blind men. He lifted i his voice in the plaintive sort of mel-| ody anil the others joined in the chor us. They sang for 20 minutes, per-[ i haps, when the conductor's whistle! !sent them shuffling aboard and they I were still singing and waving such ! ! hands as they had left as the train [ ! pulled out. j The great impression left from con- j |(act with the Russian prisoners was' | the absence of all realization of what jthe future meant to them. Ever since their disablement they had been kindly attended and provided for. Their wants had been anticipated and looked after. What of the time when I jthey must shift for themselves? Such | ihoughts • seemed not to enter their | head. I The one idea which filled their poor | souls was that they were going home. | Some had not heard from home for : -more than a year, but that was all right now. They were going home — | 'home to stay. MAY 30, 1916.
