GUN AND TORPEDO
FIRED AT ORDUNA
British Ship Had Thrilling
Journey Across the
Atlantic.

ATEW YORK, July II. - The
~ Cunard liner Orduna, bound
from Liverpool to New York, with
227 passengers, including twenty-five
Americans, was attacked without
warning. it was learned on her arrival
here today, by German submarine on
tho morning Of July 3.
Twenty miles from the graveyard or
the Lusitania off Old Head OF klnsale'
the Orduna escaped the Lusitanla
fate by one half second of time or ten
feet of space, the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder. Then the
Orduna sped away. She was followed
by the submarine, which rose 10 the
surface, manned gun on her uech
and shelled the fleeing steamer. Ihe
attack was at ten minutes to o CLOCK
I'm the morning when all but few OF
her passengers lay sleeping IN the'r
heTths.
Aroused by stewards, the passengers
dressed hurriedly and went to the
upper deck where they put on ire
belts and took their places at the hfe-
boats. They heard the scream or the
shells and saw the ocean spit up COZ
umns of water where the shells struck.
When the fire grew hot they were
ordered for their own protection to
the next deck below.
Showed Her Heels.
For half an hour the Orduna
showed her heels to the assailant'
Through marine glases the passengers
watched the dark splotch on the
waters surface astern. They saw the
low-lying German warship coming on
with a bone in her teeth, but the
Orduna's flight was faster than the
pursuit and after seven shots had peen
fired, without effect, the submarine
gave up the chase.
A wireless call for help was sent
ont hy the Orduna when the torpedo
was seen. She was then thirty-seNeh
miles south of queenstown. The re
ply. Captain Taylor says in his offlclal
report, was that help would be given
within an hour. 1t was four hourS

w grave situation that has de-
veloped between the United States and
Germany over the sinking of the
Lusitania was thrust another issue to-
day when it was revealed that the
score of Americans, had been attacked
by a German submarine.
Should first reports of an attempt to
torpedo without warning be borne out
by the official investigation about tc
be instituted, it was indicated in OIL
ficial quarters that the United States
probably would regard the incident as
adding grave element to the already
strained relations between the two
countries and would certainly compel
serious consideration by President
Wilson and his cabinet in formulating
the next step in the policy of the
United States.
Although the Orduna escaped un-
hurt, this, i'm the view of officials, does
not relieve the case of grave possibili-
ties. The fact that a belhgerent mer-
chant ship bound for the United States
with Americans on board and without
arms and ammunition or Contraband
signed for previous attacks-was as
sailed while her passengers slept, con-
vinced many officials that the theory
they had entertained of an actual
change in the practice of German sub
marine commanders apparently had
been dissipated
Was Vessel Warned?
one point on which the entire case,
so far as the United States is con-
cerned. may hinge is whether any at
tempt was made to halt the Orduna by
the customary warning signals.
AS yet the case is not officially be-
fore the state department, but as soon
as some Of the American passengers
file their statement of what tool.

be brought Immediately to the atten-
ton of the German government for
a report of its submarine commander.

Three tomatoes had been pulled
from the vine before he started with

For three days this wonderful to-
lnato collection excited much com
ment in the agents meetings, where 1t
was on exhibition, and then the toma-

Mr.. Blocker admits that the ex-

is not the only man in the southeast

Blocker asserts that he had ripe to-
matoes two days before the first ripe
ones were SHIPPED from Jacksonville,
Texas, known as the tomato center

the county agent has a big job, but
he is advancing beyond the point of
production and is organizing a mar
