Immediately afterward, the freighter's crew asserted, they saw the U-boat list sharply and then dis appear. Nearly 300 shots were exchanged while the long running battle lasted. As the freighter was tied to her pier yesterday there was a big shell hole gapping In her port bow, just abovtj the water line; the door of nor char house was shattered, two of her lifeboats were smashed, her wire less aerials was, cut to fragments. Nevertheless, every ipan aboard the freighter was sound and the dam ago to their ship can be mended quickly. ' Dodged a Torpoilo The freighter's lookout sighted the submarine's periscope pdking through tho water just qfter 5 o'clock on the morning of the at [ tack. She was less than half a mile off the Britisher's port bow then, and the skipper of the freighter barely had time to order the course of his ship changed before the wake of a torpedo could be seen plainly as it sped on Its course toward the big ship. As the freighter veered swiftly the torpedo slipped harm lessly by and the gun crew aboard the raider's intended victim came in to action. The first shell from the freighter fell wide of its mark, and at the moment the submarine came into full view Qn the surface of the water. Instantly the submersible's two guns, one fore and one aft and both apparently six inches, were trained upon the ship. The fire was return ed almost shot for shot after the British gunners got down to work, but their shells fell far wide of their mark because of the zigzag course of their vessel. The German gunners, according to the estimate of the freighter's crew, fired at least 200 shots, while the freighter's log. her crew said, showed that a total of ninety-four shells were thrown before the final one landed squarely on the submar ine's forward gun platform and put her out of commission. 100 Shots Without a Hit The hole in the freighter's port bow was torn by one of the first shots sent out of the German's for ward gun. The ship's port bridge was scraped by another of the sub marine's early shots, but after that their marksmanship went awry for a time and they fired more than a hundred shots before getting on other hit. The shells screamed over and all around the freighter, but dropped harmlessly into the water. It was the ninety-fourth shot from the freighter that sealed the doom of the submarine. As the gunner let go with that shot the freighter was Rtraightened out in her course and made a dash for it at full speed. The need for haste was eliminated by the shot, however, for the British seamen leaning over the rail of their ship reported that they saw the bodies of the gun crew hurl ed into 'the air with their gun and the*i saw the submarine list and disappear so quickly they are cer tain none of its crew had a chance to escape. MIDDLETOWN TO GET MORE WATER Public Service Commission Issues Order in Complaint of the Borough decision handed VvW JrvV down the P"b -{ mission within a week in a-Central Pennsylvania wat- VnralwraWStf Middletown and ■ MIIIumDhISBI Swatara Consoli ng*'*' dated Water Co., iR Erected to pro vide better service for the , borough of Middletown, which filed a complaint a year ago alleging Inadequate fire protection and irregular service to domestic consumers. The company's stand pipe collapsed last year and the de cision says that "convincing testi mony" as to interruptions to service was submitted and that 4t was aiso shown that the water service was unsatisfactory when resumed. The decision further statqp that the testi mony regarding pressures available for fire protection in the higher ly ing levels of the borough "all points to its inadequacy and to its uncer tainty at times of fire." The prac tice of direct pumping into the sys tem without a standpipe or some other equalizer results in frequent interruption, it is declared and an order is made that the company erect a suitable standpipe, tank or tower to remedy this condition and submit plans covering the proposed con struction and data regarding the pressure. The company is alsfi ordered to make repairs to the wash tank sys tem and place It In operation within two weeks. .

St. Bernard Dog, Hero, Calls Aid For Wounded New York A great St. Bernard dog is the herA in one of the stories of the fighting on the western front. Lieut. Martin Owens, formerly a Gotham policeman with the city police department and now driver of the ambulance donated by the po lite Legion of Honor, figures in the story. An Amerieati officer was wounded in the fighting near Chateau-Thierry. He told his men to go on and leave him. He called "Bowery," the com pany mascot, a huge St. Bernard dog, to him. Bowery seemed to un derstand that the man couldn't niove. He stood by the officer's side and watched over him, barking loudly. The officer became uncon scious. When the officer regained consciousness the dog attracted his attention to a French private who had been wounded. The officer .crawled to the man and gave him what aid he could, probably saving the private's life. Bower/ kept on barking. The two men became so weak from loss of blood they be came unconscious. Bowery harked constantly. Owen, with several nurses and other ambulance drivers, was attending the wounded and heard the barking. Owens went to where the dog stood, believing the .dog belonged to the French sol diers. Owens spoke in French to him. Bowery wouldn't let him | touch the stricken soldiers. Then the lieutenant spoke in English and the dog ceased growling and wagged j his tail. The men were taken to the ' hospital, whore they will recover. fiAJRJRISBURG TELEGRAPH Sees War's End In Year; Chauncey Depew Optimistic ■ New York.—Chauncey M. Depew expressed the opinion that the Ger mans cannot hold out much longer and that the war will be over within a year. The former Senator made[ his prophecy when discussing final plans for the unveiling of a statute, which he calls "an admirable like ness" of himself, in Peeksklll, his birthplace. . The ex-Senator, who gives his age as f'four score and four," said: "The Germans cannot hold out much longer, in my opinion. Nations are like individuals. A fellow can't keep getting a licking aontinually, and there is a limit to the patience and endurance of even a German. When they find the Americans are not looking for land or anything material the Germans must" see we are fighting for a principle and that their German leaders have been de ceiving them."

But before giving up hope and de ciding you are a chronic dyspeptic Just try the effect of a little bisurated magnesia not the ordinary com mercial carbonate, citrate, oxide or milk, but the pure bisurated magnesia which you can obtain from practical ly any druggist in eit..er powdered or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a lit tle water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the danger ous, harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food to fer ment and sour, making gas, wind, flatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, luinpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will tind that provided you take a little bisurated magnesia immedi ately after a meal, you can eat al most anything and enjoy it without any danger ol' pain or discomfort to follow and moreover, the continued use of the bisurated magnesia can not injure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indigestion.

That the partal success of his counteroftensiv.e would be magnified into a political demon stration—though this success is not denied in Germany—was to be taken for granted.

Allies In Russia Considerable space and lively at tention are devoted in the German papers of August 5, 6 and 7, which reached London yesterday, to Allied military operations at Archangel. Vladivostok and Murmansk. Or ders have been issued by the Ber lin Foreign Office to harp insistent ly on the chord that the Allies' pro testations of disinterestedness are perfidious, and that Britain, Japan land the United States have nothing 'in mind except the enslavement of th 3 Russian people and annexation of their territory. These fabrications supply ample evidence that the Allies' movements are no longer treated with disdain in Berlin, and their development is awaited with unmistakable con cern. The War Office announces significantly that its arrangements to ameliorate the lot of German prisoners in Siberia have been seri interfered with by the Czecho slovak forces. It is added that "a considerable number" of German prisoners have already been repatriated. As far as transportation difficulties permit, all the Huns who have been captive in Russia will be sent home. All pris oners are back from Rumania.

The latest arithmetical product of the home-propagunda de partment is a tabulation alleging that the war to date has cost all belligerents put together between 32,500 and 35,000 millions sterling.
