(Special to The Daily News.) London, March 25.—The Ger- mans have renewed their sub- marine activity in the North Sea. The German raider Greif has been sunk and five German oficers and 115 men have been captured by the British and 180 drowned. The British armed merchant- man Alcantara, which sunk the Greif, was herself torpedoed with the loss of 74 men. The Greif was sunk by the gun fire of the Alcantara. le The British Admiralty an- nounces that the Greif was sunk 20th, but that the news was withheld until the Ger- mans discovered that the vessel had failed to pass the British patrols. The Greif was of the same type as the Moewe, which did so much damage amongst British traders, and was rigged as a merchant- man with Norwegian flags painted on both sides. The Alcantara was formerly a 15,000 ton Dublin steamer which had been engaged by the Admir- alty since the outbreak of war. on February ADDRESS GIVEN ON ETERNAL PUNISHMENT Mr. B. H.

The only advance effected by the enemy was in the Argonne, but vey were later driven from of the creation of Hell by God, and that the word was not men- tioned until 2,500 years after the writing of the Book of Genisis. Hell could not have been created by man as man had no creative power. Hell, he contended, is simply a second death. There was a resur- rection from the first death, but there would bé no resurrection from the second death. God was Almighty and could destroy the soul as well as the body, The Universe would ultimately be perfect and no imperfect crea- ture would be fitted to live in it. The wicked man, in being blotted out, was having the best gone for him, as he could mot be happy in a perfect. universe.
