SURVIVORS TELL HOW
ship WAS BLOWN UP
Say Amphion Was Ripped Open from
Stem to Stern by Mine Laid by
Vessel She Sank.
BODIES AND GUNS SHOT IN AIR

London, Aug. ia thrilling account of
the destruction Of the British cruiser
Amphion by a floating mine, with the
loss Of l3l lives, was given today by
survivors who were landed at Harwich.
From several narratives the following
story Of the disaster is told:
mo sooner had the Amphion left Har-
wich than the decks were cleared for
action, as wireless advices indicated the
presence Of German ships. After being
sighted, the German mine laying steamer
Koenigen Luise failed to respond to q
shot aross her bows and was sunk.
Immediately after the German prison.
ers were transferred to the British ship
and her attending fleet Of torpedo boat
destroyers, 4 smudge of smoke was sight
ed on the horizon. The Amphion at once
gave chase and found that the steamship
was the st. Petersburg, bound for Hol-
land. The Amphion hove to and was
steaming toward port when she ran bow
on against a powerful floating mine that
had been laid by the Koenigen Luise.
The Amphion gave two Jerky plhnges,
that threw seamen from their feet Be
fore they had time to scramble upright,
there was a shattering explosion. Flames
leaped upward with debris OF the ship
and wall OF water that reared skywar1
like geyser. The two tunnels Of che
warship were lifted heavenward like ar
rows shot from q bow, and the entire
forepart of the vessel was sptintered.
Wreckage and parts Of human bodies
rained upon the waters. So mighty was
the force that splinters OF steel and
guns from the Amphion's batteries fell
among the vessels of the destroyer feet,
some distance on, causing damage TO
these vessels.
Flames played all over the deck. in
dicsting that part OF the'mine had been
filed with acid. which caught FIRE when
exposed. Many of the wounded sailors
among the survivors are suffering from
frightful burns, and the bodies Of some
Of the dead are scared with fire. Lyd-
1ite fumes hindered the rescuers.
The Amphion sank Immediately, as the
explosion had ripped her open from stem
10 stern.

BISHOP GREER WRITES
PEACE PRAYER TO BE
SAID IN HIS CHURCHES
Special Invocation Against European
War Cited at ALI Services in,
Diocese of New York.

New York, Aug. I1.-Bishop Greer hai
arranged a special prayer for peace to b
said at every service in the churches o
the Protestant Episcopal diocese OF New
York
The prayer follows:
o God, who hast made Of one blood
all nations Of men to dwell on all the
face Of the earth, and who in Thy
Holy Word hast taught US that One
is. our Father, even God, and that all
We are brethren, We pray Thee in
this dark hour OF international strife
that Thou wilt open the eyes OF the
people and those who in Thy name
are entrusted with the authority OF
governance. to see and understand
their right and true relation TO Thee,
and throught ThSe to one another.
Teach them by Thy spirit that hatred
and violence are not strength, but
weakness; that the true safeguarding
of nation is not 10 be found in wsap-
ons OF war but in those eternal prin-
ciples which make for righteousness
and truth and brotherhood and peace.
Give to those who shall suffer in the
war which is raging now the consola-
tion of Thy grace. Heal the sick;
comfort the wounded; minister 10 the
dying; bind up the broken heart.
Bring, we pray Thee, to a speedy
end this international strife, and hast-
en- the time when peace shall flourish
out of the earth and all shall dwell
together in unity and love, and war
shall be no more. We ask IL in the
name Of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

laugh OF the meeting.
The foremost thing IN our minds, :

received from tho American press. We

German cables. In order 10 acquire =

brutal act. leaving US entirely dependent
upon censored British dispatches for
news from the Fatheriand, has been en-
tirely ignored by the British press.

terrible war; Would he have gone to
Norway for a vacation II he had been a
party 20 this conspiracy 10 plunge Europe
into the bloodIest war in history? Every
editor ought to know that England Is
really responsible for this situation.
F'The Triple Alliance was formed only
TO preserve the peace Of Europe, and for
forty years IL has preserved that peace.
But England deemed II necessary to
have d counter-balance. so she proceeded
to make her unnatural alliance with
France. with whom she had been at
bayonet points for 100 years. Fear.
hatred. and jealousy OF Germany are
what brought these two powers together.
Do you think enlightened England should
have made this alliance with dark Rus
sia? The Triple Entente was formed
only to smash Germany, II possible.

which will definitely point out the needI
Of and the opportunities in South Ameri1 J

Such information Is now being gath

no permanent advantage for American

In Ecuador there threatens TO be real
distress because Of the lack of ships to

port season for this product, the chief

American enterprise ought to be capa-
bic OF taking the cocoa crop on the

In Chile there exists a similar situation,
as Germany. France, and Belgium have
been the principal consumers OF ths

SENATE PASSES
SHIPPING BILL
Measure Requires that Ma
jority Of Stock Be Ameri-
can-owned.
WILSON GIVEN POWERS
Jones Amendment Authorizes Sus-
pension of Coastwise Laws in In
terest of Domestic Commerce.
WILSON GIVEN POWERS

The ship registry bill passed the Senate
last night after an amendment had been
added requiring that corporations apply
Ing for registry for foreign-built ships
Inder the act must show that a majority
OF the stock Of such corporations is
owned by American citizens Of the United
states. The substance Of this amend
ment was offered by Senator Salisbury
and rejected. Senator Cummins renewed
the amendment just before the bill went
to its final passage.
On the first vote taken by division
the amendment was declared carried by
the Vice President by a vote Of 2 to q.
Senator Simmons demanded a roll call.
but was denied II, the Vice President
holding that Mr.. Simmons request came
too late. After a sharp colloquy, the
matter was finally brought to a roll call
vote by Senator Hoke Smith. who moved
a reconsideration by which the vote was
previously had. On the reconsideration
the Cummfns motion was declared car
ried by vote Of 26 to 3.
Adopt Jones Amendment.
The so-caIIed Jones amendment. which
authorizes the President to suspend the
coastwise laws whenever he may deem II
necessary in the interest Of the needs
OF domestic commerce as between yes-
se!y plying between points on the Atlantic
coast and points on the Pacific and
points on the Pacific Coast and points
on the Atlantic. and to admit foreign
built ships to enter such trade provided
they have an American registry, was
adopted after being amended to include
also vessels plying between Gulf points
or Great Lakes ports and the Atlantic
or Pacific Coast ports
The Cummins amendment. which rep
the closest and most interesting
struggle, was as follows:
Provided, that no foreign-built ship
hereafter purchased by an American cor
poration shall be admitted to United
States registry unless a majority OF the
stock Of such corporation is owned and
held by citizens of the United States"
II was suggested this afternoon that
the Cummins amendment would hardly
survive the conference.
The bill that passed the Senate is an
form OF the House measure
which admits to registry in the United
States foreign-built ships when owned
by citizens Of the United States or cor
pOrations organized under the laws OF
the United States or OF any State. But
II excludes such vessels from engaging
In the coast-wise trade. The bill also
authorizes the President and the Secre-
tary OF the Navy to use the navy yards
when not inconsistent with the needs Of
the navy to repair merchant vessels.
Navy officers are allowed to serve on
merchant vessels with the permission OF
the Secretary of the Navy, and vessels
acquired by the Red Cross are to be ad-
nitted to registry for the period Of the
war.
The bill will go to conference, and Is
likely to be modified somewhat
