HUNS SINKING VESSELS
WITH CAPTURED TRAWLER
A CANADIAN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 21.—The steam
'raw lor Triumph, fitted with two guns and wireless apparatus,
and manned by sixteen (ioniums from a submarine which cap
tured here, is now raiding the Nova Scotia fishing banks.
The raider already has sunk three fishing vessels, accord
ing to survivals, who later hoard tiring and believe that other
vessels were sunk. Captain Myrrlie of the Triumph said the
submarine captain asserted that six submarines were operating
off the coast, and said they intended to destroy the fishing fleet.
Destroyers Sent to Scene
W ASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Swift destroyers and patrol
boats have been sent to the fishing banks.
Vessel Handicapped by Fuel Question
BOSTON, Aug. 21.—Fishermen here say that the Germans
will have to recoal the Triumph every ten days. The Triumph
was manned and owned by Canadians, and is 125 feet long.

REVOLUTION THREATENED
IN GERMANY AFTER WAR
BRITISH HKAlHJlIARTKRS, Aug. 21.—A Unman mili
tary commander's order, captured in recent lighting, is more
illuminating than anything coming from Germany in many
months as to the* condition of affairs behind the Gorman lines.
The order says that it is learned through letters to the minister
of war that men on leave have spoken publicly of revolution to
break out after the war. German officers are ordered to deal
with such objectionable talk immediately and unhesitatingly.
Military and railway authorities are requested to take cor
responding measures.
