Was convinced the trial would be out

lapse of memory theory.
The counsel for the defense con
tends that the testimony of the de
fendant counsel completed late yes
terday afternoon was a ten strike.
It was pointed out that she clung so
tenaciously to the “lapse of memory"
story as to leave no doubt as to the
condition of her mind.
Mrs. De Saulles stood the grilling
cross-examination remarkably well.
After being on the witness stand for
nearly two whole days, she walked
to her seat with the sprightly step
of a school girl of 15.
Attorney Uterhart, counsel for the
defense, plans to conclude the testi
mony of the three alienists by putting
to them a hypothetical question of
approximately 10,000 words.
’lihe question will embrace practi
cally all of the more important testi
mony regarding the condition of the
mind of the defendant, ending with
the query “if you knew such evidence
had been introduced and if such were
the acts of the defendant, would you
hold that she was of sound mind
when the act was committed?”

Miss Josephine Montgomery, who will become the bride of
Robert A. Sewell, Wednesday evening in the unique and quaint
ceremony of the Moravian church. (Photo by Tidwell Studios.)
A quaint ceremony, full of the sym
bolism of an old-world religion, will
be that by which Miss Josephine
Montgomery and Robert A. Sewell
will be married Wednesday evening
at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs.
J. C. Oliver, at No. 17 Druid place.
The ceremony will be that of the
Moravian Church, an institution lit
tle known in this part of the South,
although the first Moravians, driven
from Austria-Hungary to this land
by religious persecution in the sev
enteenth century, settled in the new
and tolerant colony of Georgia.
Most of the Moravians in the Unit
ed States are in the Middle Eastern
States, principally in Pennsylvania,
although there is a church of their
faith in Winston-Salem, N. C., the
bride’s former home, of which the
pastor, Rev. E. C. Stemple, will offi
ciate.
. In the beautiful marriage cere
mony of the Moravians, the minister
wears a white robe and carries a
white Bible and prayer book. Other
details of rite are likewise white, in
cluding an improvised altar in the
Oliver home, with its festoon of white
tapers, bride roses and lilies.
The Moravian Church is an evan
gelical church founded in the Austro-
Hungarian crownlands of Moravi
.

GERMANY, THE NEXT REPUBLIC?
By Carl W. Ackerman
So Great Had Become Losses At
tending the U-Boat Campaign
Against England That the Ger
man Admiralty Began to Make
Plans for Submarine Wartare
in Less Dangerous Waters.
CHAPTER XXV.
TRMANY'S submarine war-
G fare, which was introduced
in February, 1915, began by
sinking less than £O,OOO tons of
ships per month. By November,
1915, the amount of tonnage de
stroved per month was close to
200,000 tons. By January, 19186,
the tonnage of ships destroyed by
submarines had fallen to under
100,000 tons. In April, 1916, as
Grand Admiral von Tirpitz's fol
lowers made one more effort to
make the submarine warfare guc
cessful, nearly 275,000 tons were
being destroyed a month. But
after the sinking of the Sussex
and the growing possibility of
war with the United States the
submarine warfare was again
held back, and in July less than
125,000 tons of shipping were de
stroyed,
At this time, however, the sub
marine campaign itself under
went a change. Previously most
of the ships destroved were sunk
off the coast of England, France
or in the Mediterranean. During
the year and a half of the sub
marine campaign the Allieg’
method of catching and destroy
ing submarines became so effect
ive it was too costly to maintain
submarine warfare in belligerent
waterfs, The German navy had
tried all kinds of schemes, but
none was very successful. After
the sinking of the Ancona
the Admiralty planned for two
submarines to work together,
but this was not as successful as
it might have been. During May,
June and July the submarine
warfare was virtually given up,
as the losses of ships during those
months will show. There was a
steep decline from a quarter of a
million tons in April to less than
140,000 tons in May, about 125,-
000 tons in June and not much
more than 100,000 tons in July.
During these three mionths the
navy was being bitterly criticized
for its inactivity. But as the
events six months later will show
the German navy simply used
these months to prepare for a
much stronger submarine cam
paign, which was to begin in Au
gust. By this time 1t was decided,
however, not to risk a submarine
campaign off the Allied coasts,
but to operate in the Atlantic off
the coasts of Spain and Norway.
This method of submarine war-

right,” starting in

HOUSEKEEPING ?
fare proved very successful and
by November, 1918, Germany was
sinking over 426,000 tong of ships
per month.
During this swell in the success
of the submarine campaign the
U-53 was dispatched across the
Atlantic to operate off the United
States coasts,
U-53 was sent here for two
purposes: First, it was to dem
onstrate to the American people
that, in event of war, submarines
could work terror off the Atlantic
coast. Second, it was to show the
naval authorities whether their
plans for an attack on American
shipping would be practical.
U-53 failed to terrorize the Unit
ed States, but it proved to the
Admiralty that excursions to
American waters were feasible.
On February 1, when the Rai
ser defied the United States by
threatening all neutral shipping
in European waters, Germany
had 400 undersea boats com
pleted or in course of construc
tion. This included big U-boats,
like the U-53, with a cruising
radius of 5,000 miles, and the
smaller. craft, with fifteen-day
radius. for use against England,
as well ag supply ships and mine
layers. But not all these were
ready for use against the Allies
and the United States at that
time. About 100 were waiting for
trained crews or were being
completed in German shipyards.
It was often said in Berlin that
the greatest loss when a subma
rine failed to return was the
crew. It required more time to
train the men than to build a
submarine. According to Ger
many's new method of construc
tion, a submarine can be built in
fifteen days. Parts are stamped
out in the factories and assem
bled at the wharves. But it takes
from gixty to ninety days to ed
ucate the men and get them ac
customed to the seasick motion
of the U-boats. Besides, it re
quires experienced officers to
train the new men.
To meet this demand Germany
began months ago to train men
who could man the newest sub
marines. ‘So a school was estah
lished—a School of Submarine
Murder—and for many months
the man who torpedoed the Lusi
tania was made chief of the staff
of educators. It was a new task
for German kultur,
For the German people the les
sons of the Lusitania have been
exactly opposite those normal
people would learn, The horror
of noncombatants going down on
a passenger liner, sunk without
warning, was nothing to be com
paréed to she herolsm of aiming
the torpedo and running away.
Sixty-eight million Germans think
their submarine officers and crews
are the greatest of the great.
When the Berlin Foreign Office
announced, after the sinking of
the Sussex, that the ruthless tor
pedoing of ships would be stopped,
the German statesmen meant tils
meéethod would be discontinued un
til there were sufficlent subma
rines to defy the United States.
At once the German navy, which
has alwavs been anti-American,
began building subiharines night
and day. Everyone in the Gov
ernment knew the time would
come when Germany would have
to break its Sussex pledge.
The German navy early realized
the need for trained men, so it
recalled, temporarily, for educa-

you ask. -
“The torpedo which sank the
Lusitania and killed more than
100 Americans and hundreds of
other noncombatants was fired by
Oberleutnant zur See (First Naval
Lieuenant) Otto Steinbrink, com
mander of one of the largest Ger
man submarines.”
“Wae he punished?” you ask. »
“Kaiser Wilhelm decorated him .
with the highest military order, '
the Pour le Merite!” {
“Where is Steinbrink now?”
“On December 8, 1916, the Gei
man Admiralty announced that
he had just returned from a spe- -
cial trip, having torpedoed and
mined 22 ships on one voyage.” ,
“What had he beea doing?” 3
“For several mionths last sum
mer he trained officers and crews
in this branch of warfare, which
gained him international noto
riety.” :
It is said that Steinbrink has .
trained more naval men than any .
other submarine commander. If
this be true, is there any wonder
that Germany should be prepared
to conduct a ruthless submarine
warfare throughout the world? Is
it surprising that American ships
should be sunk, American citizens
murdered and the United States.

man navy has been employing the

The Krupp interests have played
a leading role in the war, not
only by manufacturing billions of
shells and cannons and by finane
ing propaganda in the United
States, but by building subma
rines. At the Krupp wharves at
Kiel some of the best undersea
craft are launched. Other ship-'
vards at Bremen, Hamburg and
Danzig have been mobilized for
this work, too. Just a few weeks
before diplomatic relations were
broken a group of American doc
tors, who were investigating pris
on camp conditions, went to Dan
zlg. Here they learned that the
twelve wharves were bullding be
tween 45 and 50 submarines an
nually. These were the smaller
type for use in the English Chan
nel. At Hamburg the Hamburg-
American Line's wharves were
mobilized for submarine construc
tion also. At the time diplomatie
relations were severed observers
in Germany estimated that 250
submarines were being launched
annually, and that preparations
were being made greatly to in
crease this number,
