â€"~GERMANS SENT FALSE NEWS _ 1â€"29 SUNK WITH HKR CRKW The situation was the more deliâ€" cate because the false despatchs credited by persons in Germany to the _ American military attache Major Langhorne was recalled because it was discovered that perâ€" sons in Germiany were sending out unauthorized despatches over his name. Astounded by this discovâ€" ery, and not desiring to raise any embarrassment with the German Government, the authorities here decided the best way to deal with the situation was to recall Major Langhorne at once and endeayor to keep the matter from becoming generally known. A despatch from Washington says: The facts regarding the sudâ€" den recall of Major George T. Langhorne from his post as military attache at Berlin are presented Kerewith. ‘They explain why Washâ€" ington officials made such a mystery about the case: Secret of Recall of Major Langhorne Is Revealed Officially at Washington The captain of the Falaba, who was one of those lost, was given five minutes to get his passengers and crew into the boats, but, acâ€" cording to survivors, before this was possible, a torpedo was fired, striking the engineâ€"room and causâ€" ing ia terrible explosion. Many persons were killed and the steamer sank in ten _ minutes. Trawlers which happened to be in the vicinity rescued most of those who were saved ; others got away in the boats which were ready for launchâ€" ing, and which were quickly lowerâ€" ed when the order was given to abandon the ships. > In both cases, on sighting the submarine, the captains tried to escape by putting on all speed posâ€" sible, but the underâ€"water craft overtook the steamers, showing that Germany now has some of her most modern submarines engaged in the blockade operations against Great Britain. passengers, and of this total only 143 were rescued. Of those rescued eight died later from exposure. The Aguila had a crew of 42 and three passengers, and of these 23 of the crew and all the passengers were lost. A despatch from London says : Nearly 140 lives were lost in the sinking by German submarines of the Elderâ€"Dempster African . liner Falaba and the British steamer Aguila, 1,204 net tons, bound from Liverpool for Lisbon. The Falaba, which _ was torpedoed in St. Geéorge‘s Channel Sunday afterâ€" noon, carried a crew of 96 and 151 PIRATES SLAY 140 CIVILIANS A despatch from London says: The British Admiralty states that the German submarine Uâ€"29, which recently sank four British steamâ€" ers and one French steamer in the English channel and damaged three other vessels, has been sunk with all hands. This makes the sixth German submarine reported by the British Admiralty as having been sunk. Besides these the French warships sank one. The submarine was chased by patrol boats, but she proved too elusive for them, and when steamers tried to ram or Sink Two Passenger Ships Before the Crews Are Able to Launch the Boats. She Was the Submarine That Torpedoed Many Ships in the English Channel A despatch from London says: The Liverpool steamship Vosges was sunk _ by a German submarine off New Quay, Cornwall, Instead of being torpedoed the ship was sunk by a shell from the fourâ€" pounder carried by the submarine, which was one of the new large models. The Vosges was to the north of the Cornwall coast at the entrance to the Bristol Channel when the Periscope of the submarine apâ€" peared. Without warning the Gerâ€" man boat opened fire. The Vosges endeavored to get away, when the submarine came to the surface and uncovered her quickâ€"firing gun, which began to throw shells into Those who were still on the VESSEL SUNK BY SHELL FIRK ngineer Killed and Two Wounded on British Steamer by German Submarine‘s 4â€"pounder The intent seemingly was that the despatches should fall into the hands of Germany‘s enemies and mislead them as to the German operations and developments. The despatches did come to the attenâ€" tion of France and England, but with a result wholly unanticipated by their perpetrators. ‘Dhat is, they led to the discovery of the plot and its abrupt termination by the recall of Major Langhorne. dealt not only with military operaâ€" tions, but with political and diploâ€" matic developments in Germany. Naturally, emanating from German sources, they presented the Gerâ€" man situation in a most fayorable light, and discredited on the other hand the achievements of Gerâ€" many‘s enemies. Being signed with the name of the American military attache, however, they bore the appearance of impartial reports:by a neutral and wholly coinpétenvt military observer. A despatch from Santiago, Chile, says : The Chilean Government has protested to Great Britain and Germany against the alleged vioâ€" lation of Chilean neutrality inâ€" volved in the sinking of the Gerg man cruiser Dresden. The prote are based on the assertion that the Dresden was in Ohilean waters when she was destroyed by British warships off Juan Fernandez Isâ€" lands on March 14. Chile Enters Protest With Britain and Germany The Aguila was attacked off the \Pembrokeshire coast. The submarâ€" ine, which in this case was the Uâ€"28, opened fire with her gun, shells from which killed a woman passenger, the chief engineer and two of the crew. Even after the crew had commenced to lower the boats, according to the story of the survivors, the Germans kept up their fire, and some of the boats were riddled with bullets. :s The captain of the trawler" Otâ€"| tilie, whom the commiander of the submarine told of the sinking of the Aguila, went to the rescue and picked up three boats contafiffl nineteen of the crew.

The German comâ€" mander gave the crews of most of the steamers time to leave their vessels, and in some cases towed the lifeboats of the ships, with the crew, to passing steamers, in which they were taken to port. It has been stated that the commander of the Uâ€"29 was the same officer who early in the war commanded the German submarine Uâ€"9 whe® the latter sank the British cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy. The Vosges was under fire, it is said, for over two hours. In addiâ€" tion to those injured in the engineâ€" room, two ~officers and a woman passenger were wounded. Two of the injured were taken to the hosâ€" pital at Truro. One is the senior officer, who has a bad wound in his side made by a fragment of a shrapnel shell. The other is the ship‘s boy, whose leg was torn by a piece of shell. the Vosges.

To "Abate the Evil" Convenor of Ontario Red Cross Society Sock Fund. May I say a few words in regard to socks. The impression seems to have got abroad that our men will not require heavy socks during the summer. This is a mistake. None but heavy woollen socks are ever worn by soldiers in the field. When the wounded are sufficiently recovâ€" ered to again take their places in the firing line new outfits of clothâ€" ing are needed to replace those ruined by mud and blood, most of which must be burned when the men come in. For this we shall reâ€" quire many hundreds of socks to supplement those supplied by the Government. This hospital, officially known as No. 4, is essentially our hospital. Let us then send it out well equipâ€" ped, a worthy expression of our industry, our patriotism, and our love of humanity. As sheets, shirts, pillow slips, pyjamas, bed jackets, etc., are needed by thousands, it is hoped that some societies may make offers such as the following: We will make one hundred shirts for the University Base Hospital during the next month."
