THE HELENA DAILY INDEPENDENT, A UU'fUmiU 8. MONTANA SEI RUDER SENT OUT BY HITLER TO IT RECALLS FEATS OF GERMAN VESSELS IN OTHER WAR By Service Ominously, tho blasls that sent the Ilritlsh steamer Clement plunging In tho bottom off the const of Ilrazll bound warning to allied tMpplug. Loudly, they echo memories of two effective Cierman raiders of tho first world war. How did the nati "pocket" battleship Admiral Scheer, slip through tho British blockade In the North sea? Is It to become a Secadler or on Emden of the current campaign? In 1016 the allied blockade ring was uncomfortably tight around Germany. Somebody must run the blockade, strike back.

Count Felix on Uickner. the "Sea Devil," took the Job. An American schooner, the Pass of Balmaha, had been captured by a U-boat the year before, was resting Idle at Bremen. That was tils vessel. Taking a -windjammer through the blockade--then buccaneering on the high seas! The task was the kind Von Lnckner relished.

He disguised the boat as a neutral Norwegian freighter with the en- Hrn crew trained to speak Norse. Timber provided the fake cargo. Hidden guns were installed. Under cover of a Pitch black November night, the Seeadlcr slid out of the Weser river and into Ihe North sea. In storm it passed Ihe British blockade and was tossed into the Arctic.

A few days later Christmas brought the Seeadler a present-a wind which drove the ship south. The English cruiser Avenger sighted the Seeadler, halted It. but failed to penetrate the disguise. The Seeadlcr was free. First target was the British steamship Gladys Itoyal off Gibraltar on January 11.

Tho crew was removed and a bomb sent the Gladys Royal Into a dive. Next came the Lnndy Island, with cargo of sugar. Then the French Charles Gounod: the H. M. S.

Roving the Christmas Islands irea far to the south of Hawaii, the Seeadler captured three American boats the A. B. Johnson, tho Slade and tho Manila. The end came suddenly. Need- Ing food and water, the Seeadler had anchored off the hcadquarlpra Island of Mopella when a typhoon swept down upon her.

The boat was wrecked. Count von Luckner soon was taken prisoner, held In New Zealand i the end of tho war. It was two years earlier that the first German raider, the a midget cruiser, defied Britain'! naval might In the I i a ocean On August 6. 10H. after a i already seized one prize, a Russian Bleamcr, Capt.

Knrl von Mueller took the Emden out ot Tsingtau China. All English cruisers in I i a waters had cllher I wo or Iho Emdon had three. So Von Mueller creeled a fake tunnel of nnd canvas. i i tho Calcutta-Bombay seaway, the raider captured Greek ship Ponloporos. with 6,500 tons ot coal for the British.

Next morning she took the English transport Indus. Tho following day brought two captures nnd two more sink- ings, plus the seizure of tho Kab- Inga. headed from Calcutta to New York i American-owned goods. The Kablngn was added to the Emden's train as a prison ship. With a British squadron at her heels, the Emden shifted to I Madrns-Calculta route, bagged the Ilritlsh collier Trnbbock and the Clnn MntUcson.

Then creeping i Madras harbor Itself, Kmden poured a salvo Into Port St. George and tanks ot Ihe Burma Oil company. A stray shell slruck a merchantman in tho harbor. After 2 3 rounds had been lired the sky was us light as dny, many tanks had exploded, the city was In panic. The Emden fled.

Thi Emden did put a hole In French boat, however, on the way out. The Sydney, A a i a cruiser, brought Waterloo to Iho Emden in a long a off North Keeling Island on November 9. 1914, as Captain von Mueller made a daring effort to cut British cable and wireless connections. A landing party, accomplished the objective.

But. before they could get back to the Emden. she had been cornered by the Sydney, times as big speedier more leavily armed. A a 24-hour runninr; light. Von Mueller drove he battered Emden on a reef.

But Von Mueller had nothing lo be ashamed of. His little boat had sunk over 100,000 tons of shipping worth more than $20,100,000. had thrown terror Into every Indian ocean port. Among other famous German raiders ot the 131-1-18 period were the Mocwe, tho Karlsruhe, the Wolf, tho Prlnz Bitel Frledrlch, the Kronprlnz Wilhelm. The Moewo Is credited wllh tho destruction of 38 merchant vessels.

SECRET OF LIFE LIE SOUGHT Of SCIENTISTS i mm sooi B.T HOWARD W. Associated Press Science Writer Chicago, 111., Oct. 7. A long-sought mystery of life, the structure ot living protoplasm, is yielding its secrets under a new method of quick freezing and dr- ing at the University of Chicago.

The scientists of the department of analomy have succeeded in stop ring life instantly at 200 degrees below zero and fixing its microscop- ical structural parts permanently li exactly the positions of life. Those parts are mostly a "complex" whoso general name is protoplasm. When a scientist looks living tissue, he can see. with the al( of a microscope, tlnv units called cells, and resembling grapes watches, bits of string or dice. The are transparent.

Each has a nucleus, gray-look ing sac which sometimes has a vlsl ble membrane covering it, anc sometimes not. lie sees shiny fa droplets, little granules and threads called mllochondrla, and In soni such a.i those composing glands, other small grannies known take part in i secrc tions. Numerous other tiny objects havi been seen at work, and likewise i i i ss parts of the process called life. What are these parts made of a Is the chemical a each?

By blasting dykes, bridges and annls, Holland reportedly could lood great sections of the country 48 hours, effectively blocking he mechanized forces of the enemy jnd slowing down any sort of Invasion. In spite of the fact that a de- enslve Inundation of the land would ruin much of the Nether- ands for a generation, the Dutch are determined to let In the sea is the first step it their counlry leaded.
