TEN GERMANS ESCAPE ?Vom interment Camp at McPherson. Descriptions Given. (Atlanta Constitution, 25th.) Privileges and courtesies extended Jerman ' prisoners in the German Lrlson camp at .Fort McPherson are going to be extensively curtailed since {he escape Tuesday night o? ton Ger nan prisoners who were members of Hie crews of German ships interned r*hen the war began. None of the ten prisoners has yet joen captured, although bloodhounds ?nd squads of soldiers scoured the broods for miles surrounding the camp ill day Wodnesd. y from the time that tho escape of the Germans was dis covered at reveille Wednesday morn ing. L. J. Daley, of the Department of , fustlce, stated that a reward of $50 ! |for capture of each prisoner would be ! ?aid by his department. Telegraphic i ?escrlptlou8 of each of the ten men 1 lave been wired to all principal j fowns in a radius of several hundred . tulles, though secret service men be- { Iieve the fugitives are hiding in At an ta. Appam's Commander Escapes. Included in the list of escaping prisoners was an officer of tho Gor ian navy of international fame. He fas Hans Berg, captain1 of the Gor ian ship Appam which, after being iptured on the high seas by the Ger- : ians, was interned at an"American j fort by tho captors. Borg, being cap lin of the Appam, received interna- i Ional noice in press dispatches. His Ip tu re has been published in many j [apera. The other nine prisoners making ? leir escape Included two officers arfd ' wen sailors. j The method of the escape showed ie shrewdness of the Teutons: A , innel, which began underneath dbe [f the barrack buildings near the big . fire fences that inclose the . camp, ' rent 15 feet Into the ground* and was , [ot less than 100 feet long. The resh dirt was scattered over new- ' lade a sidewalk. The exit was made ' )out 25 feet beyond the outmost sen- j finers post, beyond the big wire ' fences. From this exit the Germans )rawled through high grass and ' reeds to safety. | Clothing Found in Valley. Col. Van Orsdale, in charge' of the irison camp, ls of the opinion that it 'required all night for the prisoners to make their escape, and that the last prisoner must have fle'd Just be fore daybreak. The Germans arrived 1 at the camp from Fort Oglethorpe on October 5? and it is believed that they [went to work at once on tunneling \ ; their way to liberty. Clothing of three of the prisoners was found ln_a_little valley near Cas cade avenue, where the West End car line ends. Bloodhounds trucked the trail to this point. ? Col. Van Orsdale belieyes that the 1 prisoners scattered, ns their working clothes were .'fpund in various ?irec- I Hons. He believe^ that the prlson rs ita ve ali como Into tho itv with . he possible exception of those esc ap j ut: last from kh< Cit p who may still ! Ao hid hip iti the woods nebr' the mp. The escaping prisoners were all Members of the German ships' crews, Eitel Friedrich and the Appam. Pris oners from these two ships attempted to escape while In camp at Fort Ogle thorpe. No trouble bas been caused at all by the crew of the German ship Kronprinz Wilhelm, interned at Fort McPherson since shortly after the bo anning of the war. ^ Secret service agents are working on the theory that the ten German nrisoners are being aided by friends in Atlanta who are secreting them in their homes, according to their be lief.

A French Seaport, Oct. 24.-Escap ing from a German submarine after a bitter light lasting nearly four hours, and with seven of her crew wounded, two of them seriously, an American stenmer arrived here this morning from an American port. The timely intervention of an American torpedo boat alone saved the ship from being sent to the bottom. A few hours after the vessel had entered the danger zone a lookout sighted a submarine on the port bow, but before he had time to report its presence the submarine fired a shot which missed the stern of the ship by only a few yards. The captain imme diately sent out a wireless call for as sistance, as the position of the sub marine was such thal escape was nearly impossible. Shots 1 VU Short. 7The gun crews of the submarine and the steamer then began to ex change shots. The chief gunner of the steamer opened fire at a range of 9,000 yards, but all the shots fell short. The submarine kept manoeu vering to keep'out of the range of the steamer's guns, at the same time maintaining a running fire in an ef fort to disable them. The merchant ship, after altering her course, start ed at full speed in an attempt to es cape. The stubbornness of the battle ls Indicated by the fact that the subma rine lined 234 shots at the steamer, which respouded with more than 260 shots. After the fight had continued for about two hourg and several shots had struck the ship, wounding four men, one shell hit the vessel and ex ploded in the engine room, putting tho engines out of commission and rendering the ship helpless. The Ger man commander then approached nearer and the, submarine continued to rain shells upon the disabled craft. A high sea was running at the time and (here seemed little hope of saving the ship, when a low streak of black smoke wa? sighted or? Gio horizon, lt. Intel proved to be an American de si ro- ;ir coining at full speed, ru niling righi into tho sen and at times nearly (ilsai (loaring from view. tba destroyer ha ? hoard tho calls for aid and traveled at a speed as, high as 30 knots to come to her as sistance. She immediately made for the submarine, which dived and dis appeared beneath the surface. The American warship circled about tho spot, dropping n few depth charges, but no more signs of the U-boat were seen. The wounded were transferred to a hospital in this city. Two of them belong to the gun crew and five to the ship's crew-^ The steamer was not hit below the water line, but her cargo caught fire during the engagement. The amount of damage has not neon ascertained. One of Lukenbach Steamers. Washington, Oct. 25. - An an nouncement by the Navy Department late to-day revealed that the ship which fought the battle with the sub marine was one of the American Luckenbach steamers, and that the fight occurred bn October 19th. According to the navy's advices nine men were wounded, seven mem bers of tho vessel's crew and two sai lors of the armed guard.

At times I could hardly walk, for if I stepped on a little stone I would almost feint One day I did faint and my husband was cen t for and the doc tor came. I was ta ken to the hospital and stayed four weeks but When I came horno ? Would faint just tho same and had the same pains. A friend who is a nurse asked mo to try Lydia E.
