FOR GERMAN DIVERS
LONDON, Sept. 21.—An Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen
gives the story of German sailors who
escaped from the armed trawler run
ashore last W'eek on the Jutland coast
near Ringkjobing and destroyed by
British vessels. The Germans say that
four trawlers left early Frday morn
ing in pairs, with great steel nets be
tween them for catching British
mines. Two submarines accompanied
them. The sailors assert that they
made several trips successfully, enabl
ing the submarines to pass through
the British mine field.
While the German sailors were
standing on the Danish shore after
their rescue a German warship ap
peared and signalled orders to the
sailors to embark in Danish fish boats
rand proceed to the warship. They re
fused and the commander of the war
ship sent a motor boat to fetch them.
This boat capsized. Its crew was sav
ed by fishermen.

the escape of Franz Popp, former
German consul general here, and his
aide, Kckhard Von Schack, from the
alien enemy detention quarter on An
gel island, San Francisco bay. De Lacy

from the efforts to comfort Captain

WOMEN COOKS I!C -'*1
- THE BRITISH ARMIES
" 1 r
HEADQUARTERS OF WOMENS
AUXILIARY CORPS. BEHIND BRIT
ISH LINES IN FRANCE. Bept. 21.—
One of the revolutions which the war
has wrought In the British army has
been the admission of women cooks to
the camp kitchens everywhere ex
cept in the fighting lines.
One of the great troubles of the
Kitchener armies in the early days of
the war was the inefficiency of the
cooking arrangement. Under the old
regulation scooks had to be drawn
from each unit, but owing to the in
experience of most of. the citizen sol-,
diers in this art, the food in moat of
the units, although plentiful and
good, was badly cooked and badly
served, and the kitchens frequently
drty and slovenly. In consequence, at
a, time when young soldiers especially
needed appetizing food to strengthen
them in their unwonted labors, many
suffered severely from the monoton
ous and indigestible meals put before
them. Moreover there was a great deal
of waste.
The first women cooks in the Brit
ish army were employed In August,
1915, at a convalescent camp, and
six months later the formal recruiting
of women for this work was Initiated.
Today there are more than 6,000
cooks and waitresses In 200 camp3
In England alone. Women have also
taken over the kitchen service in all
the Canadian and Australian hospi
tals, and women Instructors are be
ing employed in the regular army
schools of cookery. One woman who
enrolled as a cook two years ago and
who is now only 22 years old, has
risen to the rank of superintendent
and is now responsible for the whole
service in a camp of 22,000 men.
The economy resulting from the
employment of women cooks has been
very marked. In one large officers
camp the daily messing charge was
reduced within a few weeks from 65
to 31 cents a day, and in addition a
fun of $500 was saved for miscellan
eous camp purposes. The rate at this
camp is now reduced to 18 cents a
day.
TWO EQUAL ARMIES
IN DESPERATE BATTLE
UDINE, Italy, Sept. 21.—The fight
against the heights northeast of Gor
lzia continues night and day during
good and bad weather. The continu
ous contest seems to the observer to
be animated by superhuman force,
the Italians and the Austrians have
almost constantly engaged in hand
to hand encounters. A strange situa
tion is brought about by the two
forces, virtually equal in numbers,
strength and determination, strug
gling for supremecy in a circumscrib
ed arc where it is impossible for either
side to employ more men or artillery.
Gaps in the ranks are instantly hill
ed and thus the contending forces
remain so balanced that victory ap
parently is impossble to either side.
The fierceness of the struggle Is prov
ed by the fact that in twelve hours
the Italians attacked the enemy five
times.
SAYS WAR WILL END
BEFORE NEXT SPRING
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 21.—Herr
Von Heydebrand, whose ill fortune
with an earlier prophecy that the sub
marines would crush England within
two months and end the war fresh In
mind, has again ventured a forecast.
This time he predictst the war will
not last through the winter and prob
ably will be ended by the new year.
Herr Von Heydebrand is opposed to
any extension of the war to present
neutrals, saying that Germany now
has enemies enough.
