CAMPANA FOUGHT GAMELY.

Surrendered Only When All Ammu-nition Was Exhausted,

An Atlantic Port. Aug. 22.-TheStandard Oil tank steamer Campana,whose captain and five of her navygunners were taken prisoners hy a

German submarine on August 6th,.surrendered to the U-boat, but onlylu-cause she had not another shot tolire. The Campanas ammunition,alter firing ISO shots, became ex-

hausted.This was the story told by J. H.

Bruce, third mate of the Campana,who, with 40 other members of theCampana s crew and eight gunners,arrived here to-day on a Frenchsteamship. The battle began at 5 p.m. and was waned for four hours ata range of between 7,3»H» and 7.500yards.

I'-Bont Fired -100 Shots,The U-boat (Ired f00 shots, only

two of which hit the mark. TheCampana nevertheless was outrang-ed by the two guns-one 4-Inch, theother 2-inch-with which tho sub-marine was armed. The U-boat alsowas fully as speedy as the Americanvessel.

After the Campana hoisted theternational signal for surrender, berlast shell gone, the submarine never-theless continued to fire. Bruce said,and all hands took to the boats.

The U-boat commander llrst ap-proached the boat commanded byBruce, which bad aboard the Cam-liana's 13 naval gunners, and order-ed lt alongside, titi then went to thelifeboat occupied by Capt, Oliver, oftho Campana, and took him prisoner.

Having room enough only for sixadditional men aboard his craft, theGerman skipper made only five of thegunners prisoners, Bruce said. Theseincluded the chief gunner and twopetty olllcers. One of the gunners,whose name was Miller, was Includ-ed because he could speak German.

Sent Down by Bomba.The submarine was the U-2. Bruce

did not learn thc commander's name.Tho Gorman told him, he said, thathe had first fired a torpedo at theCampana, but had missed, thc pro-jectile apparently passing under thesteamship.The Campana was sent to the bot-

tom by bombs after her crew hadbeen allowed to return and get theirpersonal effects. Directions wereg 'en to Bruce by tho submarinenntrtmnndor i^o«. ?#> nonrnstport; He told lain at thc saim time(hat h< had heal WiroloM inegghftesunchanged b> l\vb French v.»r Ges-sels lu (he vicinity und warned himnot to allow minson io ne picaeu upby them. "I am going to sinkthem," he said.

Bruce and his men neverthelesstook the chance, encountering aFrench warship after floating aboutin small boats until l> o'clock thatnight. The warship took themaboard and landed them In France.Bruce said he was told by an olllcerof the war vessel that he had hearda wireless message from anotherFrench cruiser, saying that lt hadsunk a German submarin«* in thevicinity of the place where the Cam-pana had been sunk. Bruce saidit was only a matter of conjecture asto whether this was the submarinethat attacked his vessel, but If truehe feared that it meant that Capt.Oliver and his gunners bad perished."When Capt. Oliver and the other

prisoners went below on the subma-rine," said Bruce, "they bid us good-bye and the U-boat captain assuredme they would be treated as prison-ers of war and landed in n few daysat a German base, where the captainsaid they would bo given every op-portunity to send word home to theirfamilies. I wag allowed to take a

personal message from Capt, Oliverto be delivered to lils wife.

"The captain said his inst niel ionswere to take all American gunnersand captains of armed ships prison-ers. Ile said, however, he was sorrythe Ignited States was in the warbecause he hated to fight Americans,as he had always found them friend-ly and good sports. Americans, hesaid, will always fight to a finish. Hebad no use for Ibo French or Eng-lish, though, especially the English.

"The names of the gunners takenprisoner are: .las. Delaney, chiefgunner's mate; Wm. Miller, sea-!man; Fred Jacobs, seaman; HayHoop, boatswain's mate second class,and Chas. Kline, gunner's mate."

KINO COTTON ANO THE KAJSEK,

Some Statement** that Will TroveSurprix© to Many.

A dispatch from Washington says:Tho administration is hoing urged

to exercise more rigid control over

exports of colton to the neutral coun-tries bordering the Central empires,to prevent any of this vitally neededstaple from leaching Germany.

That cotton may he the means ofdefeating Germany is fully recog-nized. lt ls the basis of nltro-cellu-lose, the most powerful explosiveknown. The United States is report-ed to be using 1.0 00,000 bales of cot-ton each year in her own munitionplants. How much Germany is usingno one knows. Reports, more or

less, official, have stated that theenemy has devised a method of usingwood-cellulose, but lt is less efficientand deteriorates more rapidly thangun cotton.

Importance ot' Cotton in War.The importance of cotton in the

war is strikingly emphasized in a

story by Aaron Hardy Ulm, formerlyan Atlanta newspaper man, publishedIn The Nation's Business for August:

"A 12-inch gun disposes of a halfbale of cotton with every shot fired,

"A machine gun in ope' ition willuse up a bale In three minutes.

"In a naval battle, like the one offJutland, from live to six thousandpounds a minute are consumed byeach active warship.

"lt takes more than 20,000 balesj a year to provide absorbent cotton tostaunch and bind the wounds of theinjured."One change of apparel for all the

troops now engaged In the war rep-resents more than a million bales.

I "One hundred thousand bales willbe required to equip our proposedaeroplane Beet If cotton, as may henecessary, supplants linen for wings.

"This country is now turning near-ly a million bales a year into explo-sives alone."

Of course, Germany has been un-

able to import any cotton directlyfrom the United States since the out-break of the war, but has suppliedher textile and munition plants bymeans of the stocks on hand and

j tuch supplies as she was able to ob-tain from her neutral neighbors, aswell as from Turkey.

Even If the entire exports to neu-tral nations were shut off, lt wouldcurtail tho market only by half aM'illinn hqipc r,r ? Ut ncr cent, of tb«world's prqdui lion <>. ;.. Hon, >!i;in chance qf the markel price cot«top ¡tb thereford hhtt'clpauid,

\\ bi ie (ho a tesl ti vn Hubie liguresshow that exports tu Spain, Den-mark, Holland, Sweden and Norwayhave not exceeded 'J 00,000 balesabove their pre-war requirements, lt

j ls deemed essential to cut off anysurplus supplies that might find theirway to the enemy. In the crop year,1013-14, the above-named countriesreceived 335,000 bales; In 1914 theyreceived 1.90S,000 bales, and in1 0 I 5-1C they received r>2f>,000 bales.Despite the large shipments whichGermany is believed to have obtain-ed through this channel tn the firstyear of the war, it is reported thather supply Is exhausted and thatwood-cellulose ls being used in themanufacture of explosives in place ofgun cotton.The cotton mill men of the United

States, through their associations,are actively urging the need of put-ting an embargo on cotton. A state-ment Issued by the National Associa-tion of Cotton Manufacturers was

read Into the Congressional Recordon last Thursday by Senator Lodge,of Massachusetts.

"The cotton textile Interests of thecountry," lt says, "in a spirit of purepatriotism have offered their servicesto the government to control theseexports that none reach Germany.What is the government doing to-ward this control, which ls so vitalto the successful prosecution of thewar?

"All exports will sooner or later beput Into three classes; these will beknown as vital, essential and non-es-sential. Cotton will'be considered inthe essential, if not vital, class if it isfor the requirements of our allies. Itwill be considered in the non-essen-tial class if for neutrals, and it willhe considered vital that none reachesGermany.GIRLS ! WHITEN SKIN

DOES NOT ALWAYS DISQUALIFY. | (

"Flutfoot" Must Bo Very Marked to (I Usable a Man. (

Washington, Aug. 22.-Flat feet <do not necessarily disqualify a man ^for army service. Provost Marshal (General Crowder, in a telegram to¡Stale Covoroors to-day. called alte)tion to tho army physical regulations (wtvu-h specify »hot ":» UfÖAd, flat sole jis common in laboring flosses, pur-Lieularly among negroes, and is in no ]way disabling." (

"In the flat foot which renders a <man unfit for service," the regula- (Mons explain, "the arch is so far <gone that the entire border restsupon the ground, with the inner an- jkle lowered and very prominent, andthe foot apparently pushed out-ward."

Gen. Crowder said in his telegramthat there would be less necessity forthe multitude of questions asked bylocal boards if they would observethe provision of the physical regula-t'ons that physical deficiencies "mustbe present in such degree as to clear-ly and unmistakably disqualify theman for military service before hecan be found to be physically defi-cient and not physically qualified formilitary service."
