CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 21.-With
the aid of oil poured on the heavy
seas, the fourteen men of the crew
of the steamer Marshal F. Buffers
were reserved yesterday and taken
toward d ffeI ent lake ports.
The story, learned today, rivals Sc
fiction. Facing a sixty mile gale. the

sighted the Buffers. Captain Cody
of the Billings could not hear the
distress whistles, but interpreted the
puffs Of steam.
Oil was poured on the seas and
twice the Billings went around the
sinking Buffers, picking up three
sailors.
One boat load of the Buffers crew
got away for the steamer Hartwell
which will make port at Fairport to-
day.
The Billings came iii later. Fear
is felt that exposure may claim some
of those rescued by the Hartwell.
The Buffers shipped much water
and its deck was Uttered with
debris swept up by heavy seas.

either because OF poor range directing

unexpected point.
French officials declared today that
they have learned Germans are now
systematically trying to create the fm-

said, France is determined to continue
