Berlin, Jan. 27, by Wireless to Say-

ville. The Cologne Volks Zeitung

publishes a dispatch from Cairo stat-

tag that the British in southern Ara

bia are in a dangerous position as a

result of fierce attacks by Arabs and

j Turks. It is stated the British casu

, alties up to December 30 amounted to

' 15,000 killed and 20,000 wounded.

j The number of British troops now

at Aden is given as 20,000. Quoting

: News Agency says:

"A wounded British major declnr-

ed that at the beginning of the war

;. the British were in possession of 250.

Berlin. Jan. 27, via London, 11 15

a. m. Reports from France and Flan

ders say that a favorable turn in the

weather had been followed by active

fighting on the entire western front.

The heaviest fighting has been near

Nieuport, north, of Ypres and in the

Argonne.

German patroling parties brought

word that German artillery had dono

effective work against trenches of the

allies near Nieuport. The British ar

tillery, it was said, was hardly less

active than that of the Germnns. On

one section of the 'front the British

fired 1,700 shrapnel shells, 700 high

explosive shells and about the same

number of bombs within 24 hours.

In another section near Neuville

the Germans announced they had cap

tured three lines of French trenches

! ADVERTISE NOW-AND NEVER LET UP

t I say, "Be honest," because advertising doesn't

create value; it merely tells about it. The goods

' you advertise must possess the merit in themselves;

.! all the printers' ink in the world will not add to or

.; detract from the quality of the goods.

; I say, "Be sensible," because most people who

j read advertisements have good common sense, and

yet it is strange that a great many people when they

go to writing advertising copy talk about everything

! else but the thing they should talk about to interest

people in the thing they have to sell.

!! . I believe the main thing to do is to put down on

i paper what you would be likely to say orally, if you

IJ Were talking to a person.

J I say, "Be persistent," because people soon for-

! get. As I said in a former issue of The Standard,

( the hardest thing to find today is yesterday's news-

r ; paper. If you don't think so try to find one. Of

I ! course, it is absolutely necessary to advertise to sell

SH prestige, or good will and every business house in

Austrian government, to protect the

interests of Austrian prisoners of war

Berlin, Jan. 27, by Wireless to Say

Review of War Situation.

British possession of territory pro

tecting the Suez canal at its southern

end is imperilled by attacks made by

large bodies of Arabs and Turks on

the British forces in southwestern

Arabia, according to German advices.

The British have been driven from all

the territory held in that section and

have suffered heavy losses in the

fighting, the reports declare, -figures

being given at 15,000 killed and 20.000

wounded. The implication from the

(Berlin dispatch carrying these reports

is that the British army of 20 000 men

is now cooped up in Aden, which

must be held if the southerly approach

to the Suez canal is to be protected.

A situation quite similar to this was

reported through German agencies

several weeks ago, but London then

announced officially that no apprehen

sions were entertained of the outcome

'Austrians Hold Montenegro.

The Austrians, having secure pos

session of virtually all Montenegro,

its remaining defenders, according to

Vienna, are -fast laying down their

arms. At last accounts the Bulgarian

forces cooperating with the Austrians

had encountered the Albanian troops

under Essad Pasha and according to

unofficial advices, had met with a de

feat at the hands of the latter.

HOW SUBMARINE

ESCAPED NET

Commander of German U-17

Tells of Being Caught and

How Boat and Crew

Were Saved.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Craft Rises and Submerges

for Hours Before Being Able

to Elude English Tor

pedo Boats.

Budapest, Hungary, Jan. 27. (Cor

respondence of The Associated Press)

Naval Lieutenant Wenninger, com

mander of the German submarine

U-17 which torpedoed the French

steamer Graveline, gives the follow

ing description of how his submarine

was caught In. the net of an English

boat off the east coast of England and

how under the most difficult circum-,

stances he succeeded in saving the

boat and crew from capture.

He said that they left their base

early in the morning and passed into

the North sea, the boat being under

water with the periscope awash. "I

looked through the periscope," he

continued, "and could see a red buoy

behind my boat When ten minutes

later I looked I saw the buoy again,

still at the same distance behind us.

I steered to the right and then to

the left, but the buoy kept on follow

ing us. I descended deep into the wa

ter but still saw the buoy floating on

the surface above us. At last

I discovered that we had caught

floating on the surface above us. At

last I discovered the we had caught

the chain of the buoy and that we

were dragging it along with us. At

this time I also saw through the peri

scope that a strange small steamer

was steering a courso directly behind

us and the buoy. At the same time

ray sounding apparatus indicated that

a crew steamer was in the vicinity.

Observation revealed that five enemy

toi'pedo boats were approaching from

the north. I increased the speed of

the boat in the expectation of being

able to attack one of them. The five

torpedo boats arranged themselves In

a circle. I sank still deeper and got

ready for eventualities.

Caught In Net.

"At this juncture my boat began to

roll in a most incomprehensible man

ner We began to rise and sink al

ternately, the steering gear being ap

parently out of order. Soon after

wards, I discovered that we had en

countered a wire netting and were

hopelessly entangled in it. We had,

in fact, got Into the net of one of the

hunters surrounding us.

"For an hour and a half the netting

carried us with it, and although I

made every effort to get clear of it, It

seemed impossible. There was noth

ing to do but to increase the weight

in the submarine as much as possi

ble so that I might try to break the

netting. Fortunately when we start

ed I had pumped in from five to six

tons of water, filling all the tanks.

I increased the weight of the boat

to the utmost and suddenly we felt

a shock and were clear of the netting.

I then descended as deeply in the wa

ter as I could, the menometer show

ing thirty meters. We remained un

der water for eighteen hours. When

I wanted to ascertain where we

were, I noticed that my compass was

out of order. For a time I steered by

the green color of the water, but at

last I had to get rid of the ballast in

order to rise. I then discovered that

the menomeier continued to register

the same depth and was also out of

order. I had therefore to be very

careful not to rise too high and thus

attract the attention of the torpedo

boats. Slowly the periscope rose

nbove the surface and I could see the

enemy in front of me, and towards the

left, the east coast of England. I

tried to turn to starboard, but the

rudder did not work. In consequence,

I had to sink again to the bottom of

the sea where I remained for six

hours, at the end of which time I had

succeeded in putting the compass in

order and also in repairing the steer

ing gear. But upon rising this time,

we were detected by a torpedo boat

which made straight for us4 forcing

me to descend again. I remained

submerged for two hours, then turned

slowly outwards and at a distance of

some fifty meters from the leading

enemy craft passed towards the open

sea. At 9 o'clock in the evening we

were able to rise to the surface in

safety,"
