Jewelers 18 N. 4th St. TUESDAY EVENING, 11 VICTIMS OF U-BOAT OUTRAGE RESCUED AT SEA Augvald Crew Had Been Eight Days Helpless in Small Boat An Atlantic Port, July 9.—Rescued when almost dead from hunger and exposure after being adrift at sea for eleven days in a small boat, eleven survivors of the Norwegian steamship Augvald, the latest known victim of the Hun submarine pirates, arrived here yesterday on a trans- Atlantic liner which had picked them up in midocean on Independence Day. Three days ater leaving the side of the Augvald the small boat over turned and three of the original fourteen were drowned. Another small lifeboat in which Captain Egge and twelve other members of the Augvald's crew escaped is missing and it is believed that the men have been lost. Fifteen minutes were allowed the crew of twenty-seven men to take to the lifeboats. As soon as they had cleared the ship's side the Germans hung bombs at tbe ends of ropes and swung them over the sides of the Augvald. To thetse time fuses were attached. The Germans then left the ship and as they pulled away a terrifflc explosion occurred and in a few minutes the Augvald went down. Storm Separates Ufclmats For two days the lifeboats kept to gether, when they were separated by a storm. What became of the cap tain's boat and the thirteen men none of the survivors know. The boat containing the survivors was In charge of the chief engineer. Eight days of torture and suffer ings followed. Every particle of food and water had been lost. Not an oar nor a life belt was left. Finally a vessel's smoke was seen. The men watched it as only castaways can watch such a vision, and when spars and funnel came in sight and It was seen that the vessel was heading for tte lifeboat they stood up in the boiit and waved their sou'westers. But, apparently, those on board the 'steamship failed to see the ship wrecked mariners and passed on their way. For the next six days the men were kept alive by eating sea weed and drinking water caught in their caps when it rained. Aid Comes at Last According to an officer of the res cuing vessel, the lookout on the res cuing ship on th emorning of Inde pendence Day sighted off to the west what appeared at first to be a log. The course of the vessel was chang ed; and the object gradually took on the shape of a small liefboat. A closer view showed the eleven men huddled :n the bottom. Two or three of them lifted their heads feebly and attempted to stand up, but they fell back into the bottom of the boat. A lifeboat from the liner was then lowered and all hands were brought on deck. The men had almost abandoned hope'of ever seeing land again, when the liner came into sight. The Augvald, formerly the steam ship Alala. was built in Sunderland, England, in 1898. The vessel reg istered 3,406 tons gross, 2,098 tons net and was 340 feet long, 4.5 feet beam and 15.3 feet depth to hold. The owner was Akties Augvold, of Haguesand, Norway.

HXRiuanjiiaMMtmEGiara LONG BATTLE ON ''DRY" BILL FACESSENATE Substitute For Norris Rider Is Hurriedly Introduced by Senate Committee Washllng-tva, July 9.—A new "bone dry" prohibition measure, prohibit ing: the manufacture of beer .and wines after November I, and the withdrawal from bond or sale, except for export, of whisky and other dis tilled liquors after December 31 of this year, was substituted for the Norris rider to the food-production bill by the Senate Agriculture Com mittee yesterday. The action of the committee was taken at a meeting held hurriedly In the morning, when it appeared that the food-production bill, which is now before the Senate, faced defeat. ; The Norris amendment would have eliminated beer within three months, while it permitted the sale of whisky for a year. Much of the opposition to the "bone-dry" rider was based upon the terms of the rider, which gave such a long lease of life to whisky, while It shut off beer almost Immediately. The substitute amendment was re ported to the Senate as follows: "That after December 31, 1918, un til the conclusion of the present war. for the purpose of conserving the manpower of the nation and to in crease efficiency in the production of arms, war munitions, ships, food and clothing for the Army and Navy, It shall be unlawful to sell for beverage purposes any distilled spirits, and during said time no distilled spirits held in bond shall be removed there from for beverage purposes except for export. After November 1, 1918, until the conclusion of the present war. no grain, cereal, fruit or other food product shall be used in the manufacture or production of beer, wine or other Intoxicating malt or vinous liquor for beverage purposes. After December 31, 1918, and until the conclusion of the present war no beer, wine or other intoxicating malt or vinous-liquor shall be sold for bev erage purposes except for export. The Commissioner of Internal Reve nue is hereby authorized and direct ed to prescribe rules and regulations, subject to the approval of the Secre tary of tHe Treasury, In regard to the removal of distilled spirits held in bond, after December 31, 1918, for other than beverage purposes, also in regard to the sale and distribution of wine for sacramental, medicinal or other non-beverage uses. After the approval of this act no distilled, malt, vinous or other intoxicating liquors shall be imported into the United States. "Any person who violates any of the foregoing provisions shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be pun ished by a fine not exceeding SI,OOO or by imprisonment not exceeding one year or both." The prohibition battle in the Sen ate will probably be long drawn out, as a filibuster has been launched against the food-production bill by the wets. The substitution of the new amendment for the Norris rider, however, has gained votes for the drys, the Prohibitionists claim, and an early vote may be forced.
