That the United States is raising
more wheat to the acre than was the
case a half century ago is shown by
the following excerpt from a bulletin
issued by the department of agricul-
ture: The average yield per acre Of
wheat in the United States during the
five years 19O9-1913 was 14.7 bushels,
which was SO bushels per acre above
the average reported for 1s66-1s70.
This apparent increase in average
yield, applied to the acreage of wheat
in 1914, equals 1872. 100000 bushels.

ENGLAND LOSES GREAT NiARsHIP
uperdreadnaught Audacious Sunk Off
ireland by Unknown Agent Oct. 27.


New York.-Rumors of disaster to
the British superdreadnaught Audac-
ious, which have persisted ever since
the White Star liner Olympic, diverted
from her course, arrived at Tough
Swilly on October 20, are now con-
firmed.
After a career of less than two years
the Audacious, third in tonnage and
armament of his majesty's warships,
lies at the bottom of the ocean off the
north coast of Ireland She was hit by
torpedo or disabled by mine Octo-
Der 81. With the possible exception of
one or two men, the whole crew of 800
officers and men was rescued by
small boats from the Olympic.
The rescue was made in a rough
sea through brilliant and daring sea-
manship on the part of the White Star
crew.
Olympic Comes Ten Miles.
The. battleship's cry for assistance
was caught by the wireless operator of
the Olympic, which was only about 10
miles distant The steamer rushed for
ward at full speed Volunteers were
called for and double the number
necessary to man the lifeboats re-
sponded. The crippled battleship was
reached in a few minutes after 8
O'Clock and before noon all but 100 Of
her men had been transferred.
By that time the battleship had a
decided list at the stern, where, just
below the water line, she had received
her wound. Two of her engines were
unframed, but the one aft was put out
of commission.
Heavy Blow to Navy.
The destruction of the Audacious is
the most serious single loss sustained
by the British navy since the opening
of hostilities. Only few British war
ships outrank her in size and fighting
equipment.
The Audacious had a displacement
of $4,000 tons and was 500 feet in
length. Her armament consisted of 10
l13.5-inch guns, 16 four-inch guns, four
three-pounders and three 21-inch tor
pedo tubes. In her trials she developed
a speed of 22.4 knots an hour, being
slightly faster under trial than the
other vessels of her class.

Escaped Prisoners Tell Thrilling Stor-
les After Success in Going Right
Through the Kaiser's Lines.
MAN PRETENDED TO BE DEAD

Ostend. Sept 9S-SeveraI escaped Brit
ish prisoners who found their way by
great skill and even greater daring right
through the German lines after the fierce
fighting at Mons and Charleroi. have ar
rived here. \ young Hussar among them
relates a thrilling tale Of adventure
He was out scouting with his company
not far from Mons. when suddenly as
they turned the corner Of a village street
they came upon a force OF German in
fantry strongly entrenched across the
street. with three Maxims in position. one
on each side OF the trench and another
in the middle There was no possibility
of turning back without suffering very
heavy loss. so they rode straight at the
guns and hoped to cut their way through.
The young soldier was riding in the
front rank and cannot imagine how II
is that he has come through unscathed.
His horse was shot under him. but he
managed to get clear of the poor beast
as II fell He Law where he had fallen
pretending to be dead.
This experience, H. said. was the most
difficult. for the Germans came and
stripped the dead and wounded of their
side arms. OF that cavalry patrol OF
forty men. twenty were killed by the fire
of the Maxims. and almost all the re-
mainder were wounded. My young in
formant tells me that they must have
charged into fully 800 men.
When the chance came he got away
down a side street and out into a wood,
where he met a trumpeter wounded badly
in the arm and leg. who came stumbling
towards him. His companion was hard
hit. but he bandaged his wounds as best
he could and hid there until the next day
at dawn.
The two Of them then managed to take
shelter in a farm house not far away
which had been abandoned by the in
mates at the first sound Of the hring
They stayed there all that day and saw
a great force OF Germans go by.
Towards evening the owners of the
farm returned and begged them to &c
away. They managed. however. before
going to change their uniforms for the
dress of the Belgian peasants, and start
ed to find their way back as best they
could
After many adventures they arrived al
Lsssines. where a kind-heaTted Belgian

every kindness. He gave them food anC
