NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1916. RHELD PRISONER IN U-BOAT SIX DAYS American Gaptain Describes Ex- periences As “Guest” of Germany Corunna, Spain, via Paris, Nov. 14. [—Captain Frederick Curtis, of the [American steamship Columbian, who prrived here with the rescued crew of | his steamship, declared to the Asso- clated Press yesterday that he was a Prisoner on board the German sub- ne U-49 for x days after the estruction of his vessel. All of the 109 of the Columbian's crew were saved, Captain Curtis stated. Captain Curtis said the Columbian Was warned before she was torpedoed Bnd sunk. The crew was left in life- boats as the captain was taken on [board the submarine. Captain Arthur Patterson, of the British steamship Seatonia, says he Blso was a prisoner on board the U-49 for eight days, during which time he heard the guns of the subma- rine in action anq also heard dis- tinctly the explosion of the torpedo 'which, he learned later, blew up the Norwegian ship Balto, soon after 'which Captain Yelugsen, of the Nor- 'wegian ship Fordalen, joined him in the narrow prison on board the sub- marine, where they were joined on the following day by Captaln Curtis. “My ship, registered at New York,” s2id Captain Curtis to the corre- spondent, ‘‘carried a cargo of about 19,000 tons and crew of 109, all of whom were saved. I stopped on the icommand of the submarine, whose commander ordered me to abandon ghip with the crew immediately which we did without other baggage than two satchels with documents and money. “Submarine U-49 fired at once two torpedoes at the Columbian, which immediately sank. The crew was left in lifeboats, while I was taken on board the submarine, which plunged immediately after I was taken into the small quartermaster’s cabin where I found the captains of the Seatonia and Balto. After me came Captain Yelugsen, of the Fordalen. The cab- in was very small. It contained a lit- tle folding table, a folding chair and three bunks. Everything was per- meated with the odor of benzine. There was no communication with the exterior, and the cabin was absolute- ly dark night and day. We were fed in the morning with a few morsels of black bread, a cup of coffee and a small portion of bad buiter; at noon with a stew of canned meat and soup, and at supper at 10 o'clock, with cof- fee or tea and black bread, with but- ter or marmalade. The hours spent in this narrow prison were very long and disagreeable.” The captain of the submarine, said Captain Curtis, was about thirty-six years old, while his crew of forty sailors were all very young. 1 were attired in clothi of gl v leather. Captains Curtis and Patterson, re- g their experiences, said that they | were allowed at intervals, between the operations of the submarine, to go on deck to smoke. They were watched on deck by the crew, armed with re- wolvers, but when they went below the crew put aside their weapons. There mas only one chair in the cabin, which the captains used in turn; otherwise they had to lie on the bunks. The submarine signalled the Swed- ish steamship Varing thirteen miles off the Spanish port of Camarinas toward noon on November 9. The wvessel stopped and was ordered to take aboard the captains and land them. She also was ordered to take aboard the crews of the Columbian and the Norwegian steam- ships. All were welcomed aboard the Varing. The submarine watched the operation and then ordered the Var- ing to make for the coast six mile from Camarinas. The Varing was di- rected to set out lifeboats and embark the shipwrecked men in them. This was a long and difficult operation, and an American from the Columbian fell | into the sea and narrowly escaped drowning. He was slightly injured during his rescue. Arabia Sunk Without Warning. Paul R. Danner, the only Ameri- can on board the British steamship Arabia, which was sunk by a subma- rine on November 6, in the Mediter- ranean, sends to the Associated Press the following signed statement from Malta: “] am a American citizen and was a second class passenger on board the Arabja, bound for Marseilles. At 11:20 on the morning of the 6th of November I was sitting on the port side of the afterdeck when a tre- mendous shock to the ship occurred, immediately followed by an explogion. “There absolutely no warning whatever, not even one second. It ap- pears from the statements of certain engers who were on the star- board side that immediately they saw the periscope of a submarine appear out of the water about 300 yards dis- | tance on the starboard side the tor- pedo was fired. |71t was only thanks to the good fortune of a calm sea and that the | vessel floated evenly for a considerable time that we were all saved. There was certainly no warning of any char- jacter”’. Paul R. Danner is a Harvard grad- uate who has been engaged in Young Men's Christian association work in India. He was returning to his home in Cambridge, Mass. The Arabia, ac- cording to a statement issued by the British admiralty on November 8, was sunk without warning. All the 437 passengers and the crew, with the ex- ception of two engineers, were saved by vessels which went to the rescue. The engineers were killed by the ex- plosion. The Arabia was bound from Australia. MORGAN & C0. BUYS SOUTHERN RAILROAD British Banking Interests Dispose of Subsidiary Line | hciiet] | New York, Nov. 14—TIt was learned esterday that J. P.

It is of chiet consequence in the American railroad field because it owns jointly with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and the Alabama Great Southern control Texas Pacific, opertor of the Queen and Crescent route.

GHANGELLOR UPHELD ON U-BOAT WARFARE. National Radicals Endorse Course ‘ of Yon Bethmann-Hollweg ! Berlin, Nov. committee of the National Radical party yesterday concluded a two days’ session here devoted to a dis- cussion of the party policy in the past and outlining tactics for its rep- resentatives in the Reichstag in the future. The committee adopted, with one dissenting voice, a resolution approv- ing the action of its Reichstag repre- sentatives, who supported the imper- ial chancellor almost solidly during | the recent crisis, and condemning in- | trigues against the chancellor. A feature of the meeting was 2 long report by Herr Friedrich von Payer, the South German radical lead- cr in the Reichstag on the parliamen- tary activities of the party in the last year. Herr von Payer discussed the sub- marine crisis without mincing words. He arraigned the conservatives and Pan-Germans for their attempt to get rid of an ‘“inconvenient” chancellor by means of an ostensibly patriotic agitation. He said the government had displayed no lack of force in combatting the movement for unre- stricted submarine warfare, although this was supported not only by the conservatives and Pan-Germans, but also by volunteers from othe parties, | including individual radicals, who patriotically believed that it was ne- cessary to wage war against England with all available weapons, even at the cost of provoking a crisis in the chancellorship. The agitation against the chancellor and in favor of unrestricted subma- rine warfare, said Herr von Payer, had passed the flood and lost much of its interest, now that two candi- dates for Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- weg’s shoes, Admiral von Tirpritz and General von Falkenhayn, had been eliminated through their own fault and tne course of fate. The Reichstag | had decided to place the submarine policy in the hands of Field Marshal von Hindenburg. Concerning the discussions on Bel- gium in the Reichstag committee last | week, Herr von Payer said: | “Nobody now desires to annex it; nobody even desres to seem to have | ever wished to annex it. It will there- fore probably remain a sovereign state. On the other hand, nobody de- sires conditions to remain as before the war. The danger that Belgium will become a stamping ground for British domination must be counter- acted.” DOMINICANS’ SEVEN CENTURIES OF LIFE Famous Catholic Order Observing | Amniversary at Washington Washington, Nov. 14.—Celebration of the seventh centenary of the Do- minician order, known as the Order of Preachers of the Catholic church, began here today with a pontifical high mass attended by two American cardinals, Gibbons, of Baltimore, who was the celebrant; and Farley of New York, and many prominent Catholic laymen from throughout the country. The celebration which is being ob- served all over the world, marks the 700th anniversary of the confirmation of t})e order by the church, approval having been given by Pope Honorius IIT in 1216. The order was founded in 1213, by Saint Dominic, a Spanish nobleman of Calaroga, and its mem- rlfrs lhage ul;mys been recognized as e leaders in study of Catholic theology,) i In the United States, where the or- der has been established more than 100 years, the central celebration is being held in the Dominican house of studies here. This, the first day, was dedicated to America’s princes o the church, the threc cardinals, al] of whom were in the sanctuary when Cardinal Gibbons celebrated pontifi- cal high mass. The sermon was preached by Right Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, rector of the Catholic uni- versity. Many archbishops, bishops and other dignitaries also attended. University day will be observed to- morrow when the Most Rev. John Bonsano, the apostolic delegate, will be celebrant of pontifical high mass and Very Rev. Peter Guilday of Cath- olic university, will preach. Represen- tatives of Catholic universities and other educational institutions will at- tend. The students celebration will cupy the third day. The ceremonies will close with the laity’s celebration at which men dis- tinguished in state and national affairs will be present. Representative John J. Fitzgerald of New York, will be chairman and among the speakers will be W. Bourke Cockran, New York; Charles J. Bonaparte, Balti- more, former secretary of the navy, and William J. Kearns, Newark, N.
