Cymric Captain Tellsl‘
. .
Own Story of Sinking
(By International News Service.) l
LONDON, May 10.—The London
Times this morning prints the fol
lowing statement:
By F. E. BEADNALL,
Captain of the White Star Liner
Cymrie.
On Monday, at 12:30 a. m, when
eight days from New York and 138
miles from land, the ship was torpe
doed without warning. The track of
the torpedo was seen by several, but
the submarine was not seen. The
torpedo struck the engine room and
went through, and, exploding on the
far side, blew -all the skylights oft
and put all the lights out.
Four men were killed by the ex
plosion,
Aside from these, Chief Steward J.
B. Malcolm was drowned while leav
ing the ship.
The remainder, numbering 105,
were saved.
All left the ship and took to the
boats, but I returned aboard at 3:30
p. m. and sent a wireless call on an
emengency gear,
A sloop arrived at 9:10 a. m.,, and
took all off, and stood by till the ves
sel sank, at 3:30 a. m. There were
no passengers aboard, and the crew
was all British, with the exception ot
one Russian and two Belgians.
The Cymric had no gun of any kind
mounted.
e
That German submarines are ex
tending their operations farther and
farther into the Atlantic is shown by
the fact that the Cymric was torpe
doed 138 miles west of Ireland,
| The United States Embassy has be
gun an investigation into the destruc
‘tion of the Cymric. It Is contended
here that Germany can not claim that
the vessel was attacked in the “war
zone” waters, because the freighter
was 128 miles from land when the
torpedo was fired.
Seafaring men declare that Ger
many now is using a new type of
submarine of enormous size and great
power for long-distance crulsing In
the Atlantic, The body s painted
black, with no distinguishing marks,
and the two periscopes are painted
yellow. It carries two guns, fore and
aft, as well as torpedo tubes,
EL PASO, TEXAS, May 10.—A bat
talion of the Twentieth Infantry, num
bering about 350 men, was moved
from Fort Bliss late yesterday and
stationed near the stockyards domi
nating the Mexican section of El Paso.
The stockyards are about a mile from
the river and Juarez. The battalion
carried machine-gun equipment.
Two companies of the Twentieth
were stationed at the courthouse and
two at the union station,
General Bell's troop dispositions
were taken, he sald, merely for pre
cautionary purposes, In view of the
tense situation, it was deemed best to
leave nothing undone that might avert
trouble at this end of the internation
al bridge. The troops moved into the
city from Fort Bliss consisted of five
companies of the Twentieth Infantry,
under Colonel Alfred Hasbrouck. One
of these was a machine-gun company.
Three companies were stationed at the
stockyards, dominating the Mexican
section of El Paso. The machine-gun
outfit was placed at the courthouse,
where Colonel Hasbrouck established
his headquarters. The Fifth was
placed at the union station, a short
distance across the river from Juarez,

|lt’s Easy to Peel Off
l All Your Freckles
‘ The contrast between the freckles ana
the clear skin usually is so great that
no bleach can be more than partially
successful in obliterating the disfigure
ments. Ordinary mercolized wax is far
better; it literally peels off the freckles.
Get an ounce of it at the nearest drug
’store and tonight spread on enough to
completely cover yvour face; remove in
the morning with warm water. Repeat
‘dally until every freckle has disap
peared.
' Rough, blotchy, pimpled skin, also com
\mon at this season, may be entirely got
ten rid of by this same method, without
discomfort or inconvenience. The effort
is decidedly v orth while, the new com
plexion obtained being so clear, smooth
and {)outhful.
If bothered with wrinkles, bathe the
face in a lotion made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in # half
pint of witch haze'. This is the most
effective and quickest-acting wrinkle
treatment known.—Advertisement,
