CREW DROWNED
ASTREACHERY
WAS FEARED
LONDON. Dec. 2b (Correspondence
of the Associated Cress). Captain
William Martin of the British trawler
King Stephen, who. from fear of
treachery, refused to take off the
crew of the disabled Zeppelin 1, Is
in the North sea iti February. l!ilb,
died eleven months later of a nervous
collapse, caused by the mistaken be
lief that he had been poisoned. This
and other facts concerning the inci
dent now are available for the first
time, and it is possible to tell the
story in detail. If is believed here
that the eighteen Germans composing
the crew of the L I!) perished.
The action of Captain Martin
evoked denunciations of alleged "Brit
ish inhumanity" in the German press,
which compared the affair to the cele
brated Baralong case. It is claimed
here that public opinion upheld ( apt
Martin in his position that if he had
taken the Germans on board the
trawler they would have captured the
vessel and unarmed crew of ten men.
It will be recalled that the Rev Ar
thur W. Ingram, bishop of London,
publicly declared that "we ought to
stand by a skipper. The Germans
have killed chivalry in wartime."
Because of his action Captain Mar
tin. it is learned, received a number
of letters threatening his life. About
eleven months after the North sea
incident he became ill after smoking
a cigarette from a package sent him
by mail, and he was convinced that
the cigarette contained poison. Analy
sis of the tobacco proved that his
fears were unfounded, but he never

diet of his physician was that he had
died from sheer fright.
Tile 1. IP had taken part in a raid
over the midland counties of Knglniid.
in which sixty-seven non-combatants
were killed and 117 injured. The Zep
pelin was damaged by gunfire, and
was compelled to descend to the
North sea. where Captain Martin of
the King Stephen found her resting
in the water. According to Captain
Martin's story, the Zeppelin's com
mander offered him a reward if he
would take oft the German crew, hut
Martin refused, saying 'I don't trust
you."
“I had talked it over with George
Denny, my mate," Captain Martin is
quoted as saying, "and we agreed that
if we lowered a boat and sent some
of the crew to the Zeppelin they would
he kept as prisoners until we did as
the Germans wished, which would
probably he that in the end we should
have them take charge of the ship if
they came on board, or if we refused to
fetch them off they would carry the
crew of our boat down with them. I
was determined to take no risks. I
knew what tilt* Germans li.id done to
my class in the North sea. and he
i les. Zeppelin crews droppinig bombs |
on houses and killing women and chil j
dren dldn t appeal to me. There were
eighteen Germans and only ten of
us, and you could scarcely imagine
their allowing us to take them as pris
oners. There were two to one.
“So I told the commander plainly
that nothing he could say would in
duce me to rescue them. It was not
a nice feeling to leave eighteen men
to drown, even if they were your ene
mies. When the commander saw we
were to leave and that there was no
cnance or being rescued, he and the
others set up a howl. Their rage
was awful. Shaking their fists in de
spair. they kept shouting out 'Gott
strafe Kngland ' And they kept shout
ing this again and again as long as
we were within hearing. The weather
had been steadily growing worse, and
as no other vessel was In sight, 1
knew the Germans were doomed, but
1 felt that I had done the right thing
under the circumstances."

MEXICO STILL
IS MECCA FOR
HI INTRIGUE
M KXU'l) ( ITY. .Ian 1.1 i by Assn
c .led Press) (iennany • irpMider
r\ed only to spur Herman propa
ga.idists in Mexico to loftier !n*igh«s
of mendacity. In a country where ac
cess to news is freer than it is in
Mexico, their lies would soon prove
boinerang.. but in this country, des
pito their clumsy subterfuges, the
propagandists met with some success
in befogging the issue of real victory .
In this they were aided by the fact
that the first report of the signing of
the armistice on November 7 was
false. Admission of this fact by pro
any papers gave the Herman agents
a hook on whit h to hang charges
that subsequent reports also were
without basis in truth
The out and out pro-Herman pap
era aserted tha the armistice terms
favored Hermany They admitted that
the Herman Meet was held in British
waters, but declared that it had not
"surrendered." but was being held
only until peace was concluded and.
as an aristic touch, modestly claimed
that the 400 allied warships “saluted"
the German engines of war at the 'in
ternment." The surrender of Ger
many's submarines was passed over
as lightly as possible.
According to the pro-German peri
odicals only one-sixteenth of the Ger
man fleet was given up, not its
"heart." A huge navy, they said,
built during the courso of the war
and held in waters unknown to the
allies, was ready at any moment to
give battle to the allied fleets That
this propaganda is intended, not for
military purposes, but to preserve the
tattered rags of German prestige in
Mexico for after the war trade pur
poses, is indicated by an article in
one German paper, warning .Mexico
to beware of British goods
One pro-German organ which has
at times reported acts calculated to
stir up hostile feeling against the
United States, is preparing a way out
should German support completely
vanish by publishing another paper,
called Iniparclai, and which treats
tile allies with gentleness and appar
ently is adopting an attitude of "dis
interested neutrality." which words
appear to be the favorites of the anti
ally journalist since Germany's capi
tulation.
Devlopments resulting from the re
turn to Mexico of Felix F. 1’alavicini
also are being awaited with interest.
Mr. Palavicini, founder of K1 Univer
sal, led tho pro-entente journalist
campaign for months during tho time
when Germany appeared at the crest
of her military sucesses.
Heinrich von Kckardt, the German
minister (since recalled), and tho Aus
trian representative uot long ago are
said to have secured the publication
in well known papers of ‘'official
statements" that the German fleet had
not surrendered, but was ready to
! light the allies and that the new Ger
many was as strong as the old over
v. as.

WOMEN WHO WIN
LATEST PICTURE PLAY
LONDON. Jan 24 (by Associated
I’ress), London Is eagerly waiting
to see a pi lure play called “Women
Who Win." for Queen Mary is mak
ing her debut therein as a movie act
less. The him is being prepared
under the auspices of the British
Women's Service, of which Lady
France Balfour is president, it "ill
be shown simultaneously in England
and the United States.
The queen's part in the play is to
talk to the heroine, who is supposed
to be engaged on air plane work She
had made herself familiar with the
scenario and knew her role well
The scene was set at an aircraft
exhibition in Agricultural hall. The
operators began to turn the cranks of
their cameras, and the Queen moved
slowly toward (he spot where the
heroine was seated. She talked to her
for several minutes, and then, still at
cording to the scenario, “shook her
warmly by the hand." But. to the dis
mr.y of the producers, the queen then
walked out of the picture before the
scone was finished. One of her ladies
in waiting explained the situation,
and with a smile the queen completed
the scene.
