THURSDAY EVENING
state definitely; that the raider had
been sunk, others aboard the ship
recounted enthusiastically that they
saw a shell from the freighter's gun
land squarely at the submersible's
bow, blowing to bits her forward gun
and the squad of six Germans man
ning it. 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.

for fire protection in the higher ly

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

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."

Just try the effect of a little bisurated
magnesia not the ordinary com

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. G. A. Gorgas.

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.
Members of the Reichstag who
have been agitating for better pay

Germany was drenched with pro-
Hun statistics of all sorts on the oc
casion "bf the fourth anniversary of
the war. 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.
The Germanic Powers' share Is said,
to be only one-third of this amount.

"Oh," replied Sambo, "I shovels

"Well," answered Mose, "we polish
