39,000 Civil War Veterans
Stand With Bared Heads as 4
Victims' Fasi to Burial
Washington, Sept. 30.—Fast 30,-
i 000 veterans of the Civil war, who
; stood with bared heads, four gun
t carriages-each conveying one liag
| draped coffin, bore from the Wash
| ington navy yard Tuesday to Arling
! ton cemetery, the bodies of 14 men
i who perished in the disaster of the
submarine F-4 beneath the waters of
i Hcdolulu harbor last March.
The bones of these heroes, two
officers and 12 enlisted men, were
dragged from the bottom of the sea.
i but no man coul i tell what was the
f body of the dead. Companions in
death, their bones were co-mingled
in four coffins. They lie now in one
grave.
.
Some were Frotestanta, some Cath
olics, aijd that they might go to
their account with the benizon of
their different faiths, a Protestant
! and a Catholic chaplain officiated
jointly in the funeral services at the
grave.
It was a fitting coincidence that
I
; the funeral should be held during the I
forty-ninth annual encampment of
: the Grand Army of the Republic and
that the line of march from the navy
yard to the cemetery should include
the stretch of Fennsylvania avenue
over which the veterans passed in re
view before President Lincoln 50
years ago and over which a few
thousand survivors of that event pas

The statement says also
that by a counter-attack the
Germans succeeded in regain
ing in the works known as
j' Ouvrage de la Defaite," a
portion of which the French
had taken. The text fol
lows:
"In Belgium our heavy ar
tillery has supported the*
action of the British fleet
against the batteries along
the coast.
".No important action oc
curred in Artois. The enemy
lias shown some activity near
Armancourt. In the envi
rons of Roye a strong recon
naissance was dispersed by
our fire.
j -Before Beuvraignes we.
! exploded several mines which
' shattered the German trench
es.
"Tn Champagne we have
gained ground to the north
of Mesnil and more to the
east between Hill No. 190, to
the north of Massiges, and
the road from Ville-Sur-Tour
be to Cernay-en-Doimois; at
i the latter point we have
taken additional prisoners.
LOSSES HEAVY
••By a counter attack the enemy
succeeded in recovering a footing in
the Ouvrage de la Defaite. A sec
ond counter attack, very violent in
character, in the same section wa#
completely repulsed. The enemy
has suffered important losses.
"The clearing of the former Ger
man positions has permitted a more
complete computation of the cannon
captured. Their number is much
greater than was previously announ
ced. The total of field guns and
heavy pieces capture i from the
enemy since September 25th on the
Champagne front alone has reached
121.
A flotilla of aeroplanes today
dropped 72 bombs oil the station at
Guignicourt. The bombardment ap
pered to lie very efficacious. The
aeroplanes, though violently cannon
aded, returned in safety "
In the region around Lens, north
ern France, the Franco-British pin
cers are closing in slowly and irresis
tibly upon the Germans. This dis
trict of F'rance is known as the
"Black Country," Lens lieing the
heart of the coal mining industry.
To clear the enemy out of this ter
ritoey will not only l>e a brilliant
military success, but also will have
important economic consequences.
