New York, Dec 6.-The steam

of sixteen Americans and listed as
an American vessel, was shelled and
sunk without warning by a German
submarine twenty-five miles south of
the Isle Of Wight, on Nov. %, ac-
cording to members of the crew,
who arrived here on the French lin
er Aspagne, from Bordeaux. The
Lambert was the last of twelve ves-
sells built on the Great Lakes,
which the French line agreed to
purchase. She was being taken to
Havre for delivery when sunk, ac-
cording to arrivals. Engineer Ed
ward Harrison said the first knowl-
edge of the submarine was when 1t
sent shell through the Lambert's
bridge. The shelling continued
while the crew was taking to the
boats. The men rowed forty miles
to the French coast.

here A consignment of motor cars
from an American factory arrived in
Buenos Aires The invoice price of
the cars, sent to the agency in Buenos

minister of Finance was induced to
believe that some fraudulent intention
underlay the invoice prices, which
ranged 5000 to $500 gold. He fixed
the value of the cars, for the purpase
of revenue, at from s340 to s645 gold
On behalf of his pricipals the local
agent invited the authorities to take
over the cars at the invoice prices
After much delay the minister has
gone out of office without giving a de
cision on the point. The cars remain
in store pending the decision of the
new minister of finance.

PROPAGATION OF DIAMOND
BACK TERRAPIN A
PAYING PROPOSITION

Washington, Dec. Propagation
of the diamond back terrapin by the
Bureau of Fisheries at Beaufort, N.
c., for four years has demonstrated
that if promoted by the States it
would prevent extinction of one of
the country's most highly priced
food animals. Nearly 5000 young
have been taken from the Beaufort
laying beds this year
The terrapin has been source of
income to fishermen all along the
eastern and southern coasts. It is
rapidly vanishing. There are five
widely known diamond backs, the
Carolina, Chesapeake, Louisiana.
Florida and Texas terrapin. The
Fisheries Bureau is experimenting

sand. She does not approach the
eggs or the hatched-out young. The
first young terrapin appear about
the middle of August. Under natur

size does not increase. But fed dur

COMFORT BAGS FOR SOLDIERS
GIVEN NEW SIGNIFICANCE

From time immemorial speculation
has risen as to what was the inner
meaning of the precious gifts
brought by Magi and laid with rev.
erential and loving care at the feet
of the Christ Child. 1t remained for
Margaret DeLand to describe the
spiritual significance that burns
through the hieroglyph Of material
things Gold, frankincense and
myrrh, representing the tangible and
intangible, have their spiritual
equivalents of love and service.
Along these lines, says Mrs. DeLand,
in the Christmas issue of a popular
, monthly magazine, women the
world over, unable to rest through
the thought of the soldier in the
barren trenches, are busy night and
cay fashioning the comfort bag.
These dark blue receptacles contain
the homeIiest necessities which
have become luxuries on the battle
fields 1t is difficult to realize that
a pair of shoestrings. wax candle,
a package of safety pins and per-
,haps the humbles collar button, may
prove as inaccessibly of attainment

the gold of Ophir in America. Last
