According to Notice.

During a sham fight which ccsstitut-

talion's training for the war a COM
pany was told off to follow up the re-
treating enemy" For this purpose
the pursuers, who had been having
a strenuous time, had to cross fairly
wide river, and were marched to the
nearest bridge, which was about four
miles away. Imagine their disappoint-
ment on arriving to find this notice
attached to the bridge of the enc
my: This bridge is blown up" But
the officer in command of the pursuers
was man of action, and promptly
attached notice to one of his leading
men and proceeded to march his force
across the bridge. They had almost
crossed it, when an umpire suddenly
appeared, frantically waving his hand
and exclaiming: THE bridge is blown
up; all these men are drowned" The
commanding officer made no reply, but
simply pointed to his notice, which
read: This company is swimming
across!"

GERMAN U-BOAT
SINKS TRANSPORT
First British Troop Ship Lost
Since War Began.
1000 SOLDIERS ON BOARD
Over 100000 Soldiers Taken To
France Without Any Losses
Transports Escorted BY
Warships.

London.-The British Admiralty's
record of transporting great numbers
of troops to the various fighting zones
without the loss of life, so far as re-
ported officially has been broken aft
er more than year of war. The
torpedo of a submarine has at last
found the mark and the transport
tom in the Aegean Sea with loss
of life which may reach 1000. The
Admiralty announcement shows that
the Royal Edward was engaged in
transporting troops to the Dardanelles
front, where Australians and New Zea-
landers have been largely employed.
The transport had on board 80 mill
tary officers and 1850 troops in addi-
ton to the ships crew of 220 officers
and men. The troops consisted main
ly of reihforcements for the Twenty
ninth Division and details of the Royal
Army Medical Corps.
On two previous occasions trans
ports have been attacked. The Way
farer was torpedoed by submarine
in the Irish Sea, but the vessel was
not sunk and only five lives were
lost. The Manitou was attacked by
Turkish torpedo boat in the Aegean
Sea and, although the ship was not
damaged, "a lives were lost through
the breaking of davit as boat
was being lowered.
The loss of the Royal Edward is
a serious one at this moment The
men it carried were not part of
new expedition but were reinforce
ments for the Twenty ninth Division,
which has been on the Gallipoli
peninsula since the first landing and
which received such high praise from
Gen. Ian Hamilton in his report on
the initial and subsequent operations.
The news came as a shock to the
British public, who believed the sub
marine menace in the Aegean had
been dealt with successfully. This
is the first occasion since the sink
ing of the battleship Majestic on
May q that the German submarines
which made the long trip to the
Dardanelles have scored a success.

Transport Piled On Beach.

All the city's resort bath houses and
beach amusements have been swept
away The Murdoch, the Breakers and
the Surf, bath houses, each of which
was a commodious frame structure,
were demolished and heaped upon the
boulevard in debris.
Huddled near the beach boulevard,
from Twenty-frst street to Twenty
sixth street, was row of small shops,
booths, dancing pavilions, restaurants
and hotels. These are reported to have
been destroyed To the west and to
the east of this section were summer
cottages skirting the boulevard, all of
which are said to have been total
losses.
The loss to the city port facilities
has been enormous and all kinds of
