KEEP THEM APART. ,Lotition ICaible.-(Reuter Despatch) -The finest of all taloa of the achieve- ments. of British snbmariztes in war time is now completed by the Official story of the sinking of the ratline aubitarnee E-14' off the Dardanelles early hi 1918 with the loss et her new commander, Lieut. -Commander Goff- rey White, and all excent item of the erew. The E-14 left aludros on tbe even- ' ing of January 27 arid proceeded up the Dardanelles to Roca for the Gan, ben. After diving under submarine nets, she found that the Goeben, had gone, so Commander White turned baelt, keeping e sharp lookout for ene- my craft. .A. torpedo was fired at taesldp witch transpireil carried the Gee- bea's ammunition, causing a, heavy ex- plosion which extintmished. the sub- marine's lights. neaking badly the submarine rase to aW•ithin 15 feet of the surface. Forts immediately open- ed a heavy fire but did neit hit her. She submerged to a hundred feet and continued on her course, but beeame unsteady and kept diving so she was brought to tile surface, as she could no longer be relied upon under water and only three bottlee of air were left, A heavy fire immediately opened from both sodes of the straits and a emit hit the hull just over the wardroom, destroying the uppea steering gear. An E-14 survivor says: "Orders were given to steer from be- low, and we ran the gauntlet far half an hater, only a few shots hitting us. The captain, seeing it was hopeless to escape, ran tovsards the shore. His last words were: "We are in God's bands." Only a few seconds later I looked for him and saw his body, mangled by shell-fireeroll into the wa- ter and go under. The last shell hit the starboard' saddle. tank, killing all I believe," The submarine soon aft rwatela ran into a sandbank close in share, and the Turks picked up the survivors. in the negotiation of tile Brest -Litovsk treaty. • "Count Czernin," said Trotzky, 'Ten gists now very strongly upon a differ - wee between the policy et Dr. mein aad von Euehlmann (former German Foreign 'Secretary) and his own.
