never took a life an interesting story is told of yon luckner's lecture tour at the con clusion of his address before the cleveland advertising club he picked up two large cleveland tel ephone directories each more than two inches thick with little appar ent effort he tore both books in two — and at the same operation just to show you that it takes more than maritime knowledge to run a ship commented count luckner because of the tremendous dam age he did to allied shipping am ericans have every reason to hate him but because of his splendid treatment of captured seamen he is respected by even the men who owned the ships he sank when count luckner landed in new york for the first time one of his immediate acts was to give back the american flag that had been carried for years on the see adler the ship was the one that exacted such a tremendous toll on allied shipping and the flag had been safely stored in a box on the vessel as a good-luck token the seeadler was an antiquat ed american vessel captured by the germans during the war and later turned over to the count to run the triple blockade that had been formed after the battle of jutland during a hurricane on decem ber 21 1916 he embarked from germany flying the norwegian flag for sixteen months during which forty thousand miles were covered his ship carried only one ancient cannon that could not pos sibly have been fired his ship un der suspicion many times was once captured by the british and the same day recaptured by the count count felix intends to tell the complete story of the raids of his ship during his
