A GERMAN
SUBMARINE
SINKS SHIPS
Il Plays Havoc With Foreign
Commerce Sailing To And
From This Country

The thing that has been talked
about and speculated on in regard
to German submarines visiting
TINS country and making war on
the English, French and Russian
trade vessels, has come to pass.
Last Saturday a German Sub
marine war vessel arrived at
Newport L. |. reported herself
to the t. S. port officials. deliv-
cred papers for the German En-
bassador at Washington and
then Went to sea, and commenced
to destroy every yesse in sight
belonging to any Of Germany's
foes. She sunk three British
steamships. ou one Of which were
many Americans, two Dutch
steamers. two Norwegian steam
ers, and torpeioed and crippled
another British ship.
The American freight steam
ship kansan was held up. but
when her identity Is an Ameri-
can ship was known, she was
allowed to proceed on her journey.
There were many passengers
or the ships destroyed. all of
whom reached port in safety. I.
$. torpedo boats went TO the res
cue of the passengers. and took
them aboard and carried them
into port The passengers lost
all Of their baggage and personal
belongings. The loss in this one
raid is estimated to amount to
more than SIX million dollars.
All of the ships were warned
that they were going to be des-
troyed. and time was given the
passengers and crew TO get off
before the boats and their car
goes were sent TO the bottom
This was done in accordance with
the demands OF the United States
on Germany
There was great CONSERVATION
in this country when the visit OF
the German submarine was made
known and the damage ii had
done ID commerce came 10 the
knowledge of the public, but a
few hours su'iiced to get the
country once more ON its level,
and now there is not a particle of
fear or anxiety on the part of
Uncle Sam We have submarines
of our own, and our war ships are
patroling the three mile limit. 10
see to il that no war-like acts are
committed within the limit.

Germans Retale Thiaumont

Paris, Aug. SHERMAN troops again
recaptured ThiaumOnt work, northeast
of Verdun, in heavy fighting last night
the war office announced today. The
French repulsed all other attacks on
the Verdun front and made further
progress in the village of Fleury.
North of the Somme the Germans
constantly counter attacked throughout
the nignt against new French position,
finally gaining foothold in single
trench from which they were hurriedly
elected. The battle is continuing in
this region.
The recapture of Thiaumont work
was accomplished after the Germans
had suffered heavy losses in several
unsuccessful attacks. The French are
still clinging to the outskirts of the
redoubt, which is being bomharded I'M
ceasingly by French artillery.
In the Vaux Chapitre wood, in the
same region, a German attack was re-
pulsed.
The battle south of the Somme is
extending to the region of Chaulnesi
where violent bombardment is re-
ported. On this sector the Germans
occupied an advanced French trench
but were thrown out by bayonet at
tack.

FAMILY CARES
This Information May Be of Value to
Many Mothers in Salem

When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing of
children that affliction of weakness
of the kidneys and auxiliary organs,
tae mother S lot is far from happy
one. This condition has often been
corrected by the use of Doan s Kidney
Pills. When relief comes the mother s
burden will be lighter and her home
happier.
Mrs. s. Z. Lewis, 1l57 Commercial
St.. Sllem, says: 81 couldn t recon-
mend anything equal to Doan's S Kidney
Pills for children who are subject to
kidney trouble. Since giving them to
my little girl her kidneys act more
regularly and the trouble is gradually
being overcome each day. I feel con-
fident that before long they will make
permanent cure. y

simply ask for kidney remedy-get
