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.

grass. Many thousands of bushels
have been lost through rust in this

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.

FOR INDIGESTION
H. C. Kennedy Has a Treatment That
. He Guarantees to Promptly
Relieve All Stomach Distress
People go on suffering from little
stomach troubles for years and
imagine they have a serious dis
ease.
They over-eat or over-drink and
force on the stomach a lot of extra
work.
But they never think that the
stomach needs extra help to do ex
tra work.
If these people would take a Mi
o-na tablet with or after meals it
would be a great big help to the
stomach in its strain of overwork.
Mi-o-na tablets help your tired
out stomach to do tys work and
banishes the cause.
No matter what you eat .or drink
Ml-o-na tablets should sweeten your
sour stomach and stop gas belcnlns;
In 10 minutes. The heaviness disap
pears and the stomach is greatly
aided in its work of indigestion.
And Mi-o-na not only promptly
relie\es all distress but if taken reg
ularly will absolutely banish indi
gestion by building up the flabby
overworked walls of the stomach and
making them strong enough to <Ji
gest the most hearty meal. H. c.
Kennedy sells and guarantees Mi
o-na.
