CANADIAN SUBMARINE RAMS SHIP EIGHT MEN LOSING LIVES IN CRASH

MONTREAL, May 19 Eight men perished when the steamer Christine, formerly the yacht of the late Lord Strathcona, was sunk in a collision with another ship off the Island of Orleans, in the St. Lawrence river last night. The steamer carried a crew of seventeen men, but nine of them were saved. It is reported here today that the Christine was accidently rammed by a Canadian submarine from which nothing has since been heard. Captain Kennedy of the Christine, one of the survivors is suffering from a broken leg. A big hole was cut in the Christin's hull below the water line and she sunk in three minutes. The crew did not have time to launch GERMANY TRIES FRYE CASE IN "PRIZE" COURT WASHINGTON, May 19. Despite Secretary Bryan's disavowal, other high officials in the department said the dispatch that the Frye case had been called in prize court had been received. It was admitted also that inquiry had been made in Berlin as to whether the calling of the case had been done as an answer to the American protest. In the office of the counsellor of the department, it was considered, unlikely that Germany had intended to replyto the United States protest in this way. This was justified by the German circular on May 11, which promised that if a neutral ship came to harm in the war zone, Germany would immediately make reparation without instituting a prize court action. While this circular did not refer to incidents such as the sinking of the Frye, state department officials thought it would be morally binding on Germany to give the case of the Frye equally frank consideration. A reply from Berlin explaining the calling of the case in prize court is expected to reach Washington in a few days. The basis for the report of the state department against prize court proceedure was that under the treaties between the United States and Prussia under which Germany acknowledged her responsibility to pay damages to the owners of the Frye, the award should be made by diplomatic rules. Among the natives of Great Britain the Scotch average the tallest, the; Irish next, then the English, and the Welsh, . . ' I

CARDIFF, May 19. The British steamer Drumcree has been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. Its crew was saved. The Drumcree was a ship of 4,052 tons belonging to the Astral Shipping company.

MAY RECORD FACTS IN LOCAL SCHOOLS A book ' containing data, statistics and facts concerning the people, industries and schools cf Hammond, Indiana, and published by Robert J.
