The Hand Descends

Three U-boat officers were arrested by the French in the Ruhr. They are:

1) Paul Audler, commander of the submarine 9-A. He is charged with complicity in the explosion that partly wrecked the Rhine-Herne Canal.

2) Otto Horden, accused of sabotage in the Bochum district.

3) Commander Rose, who navigated the U-53 on its trip to the American coast in 1915. He is suffering from the effects of a severe beating administered by a Belgian officer whom he insulted.

The Duesseldorf correspondent of The Daily Mail, London journal, says stern justice is likely to be meted out to them.
