AMERICAN STEAMSHIP
SUNK BY GERMANY
With Ten Americans Aboard
Steamer Algonquin Sunk
Without Warning
t
ALL OF CREW WERE
SAVED FROM DEATH
Makes No Change at Present
in Situation Between
Countries.
London.?The American steamship
Algonquin has been sunk by a
German submarine. The crew was
saved.
The Algonquin was sunk by shell
fire without warning, according to a
report made by J. G. Stephens, the
American consul at Plymouth, quoting
the captain of the ship. The
consul states that all on board were*
Saved.
The Algonquin was sunk at C>
o'clock in the morning of March 12.
The submarine refused assistance,
according to the report of the consul
at Plymouth. Twenty-seven men
have been landed.
The Algonquin, owned by the American
Star Line, sailed from New
York for London on February 20.
There are two American steamships
Algonquin. The one sunk was
recently transferred from British
registry. She was a vessel of 1,SOO
tons gross, 245 feet long, and 40 feet
of beam, built in 1888 at Glasgow
and was owned in New York and was
a single screw steamer. Among the
American citizens on board wore Wii
liam T. Holmes, of Chicago, mate,
and Charles Schultz, of Brooklyn,
chief engineer. Her owners agreed
to give the officers a war bonus of
50 per cent in wages, and the Cre.v
a bonus of 25 por cent with the provision
that in case the vessel was
captured or destroyed, the men were
I to bo paid the bonus with their
j wages until they returned to the
united states.
In the absence of official dispatches
on the destruction of the steamer
Algonquin, officials withheld comment,
but the unofficial view was
that nothing in the incident changes
the situation between the United
States and Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in a
state of armed neutrality, wThichr
with the breaking of diplomatic re
lations with Germany, is practically
the least measure possible short of
war. American ships are boing
armed to defend themselves against
unlawful submarine attack. The
general view is that arming of ships
is the only answer to submarine operations
short of a declaration of
war, which may be made onlv hv
f
Congress.
The circumstances that the Algonquin
carried foodstuffs, which are
contraband, and that she recently
was transferred from British to American
registry, a transaction Germany
might plead she would not
recognize, are not taken outweigh
the fact that the ship was reported
destroyed without warning. Neither
does the fact that apparently no
lives were lost mitigate the situation.

j ON THE CATrLE TICK.
| &cutor Herald:?
| What shall the poor people do
I when all the ticks arc gone. We are
looking for milk this summer and
people had better cut ditches if
they don't want the crops drowned
with milk. It is by a free plow for
everybody. We are looking for a red
bug law next or something just a?
nice. Some man reply to me and
help me with the tick law. Kill filthy
old itcks and I think the man that
started the tick killing, everybody
throw in a little and get the tick docto
to destroy the red bugs.
