'"The first warning we had was when the torpedo hit the steamer, eXplod- ing and breaking her in two. Four boats were launched in eighteen min- | utes and it was while the fifth boat was being made ready that the sec 1 ond torpedo was fired. Its explosion l killed the remaining men on the deck, i nineteen in all, including six of us l horsemen.
 we floated in our boats for elgh-
 teen hours the weather being cold and
 with sleet and snow falling part of the ] time We were first discovered by the
 lookout on a lighthouse, the name ot 1 which I do not know. The lighthouse sent out signals to the British patrol boats which soon after appeared. Part 1 of us were picked up by the patrol
 boat Williams, and others by the 1 British ship Wadsworth, and we were
 landed at Castleton and Cross Haven
 Ireland, from which points we pre- I ceeded to Dublin. a4ea grs.sl- st sss.
 sWhen we left Newport News or
 September 22 we had @ cargo of horse: ] and ammunition. The horses were 1 landed at Monmouth and the ammu- | milton at Glasgow. We left Glasgow 1 on the return trip to Baltimore on

GAS SUPPLY THREATENED
Scarcity and High Cost of Coal in Italy May Put Dighting Concerns Out of Business.

ollG OI buSl1GS5.
 Rome, via Paris, Nov. 29, 3:05 a. m The high price and scarcity of coal threatens to close up the gas com panies in Italian cities. This is true in Turin, where two companies have decla red that they will be unable to furnish gas after a few weeks unless England sends coal, according to an agreement, which they say, was made before the renewal of the German submarine campaign.
 The gas companies throughout the country also declare that they are be- ing forced into bankruptcy by being compelled to fill contracts made with municipalities before the war. One solution offered is the use of elec- tricity which is relatively cheap, for cooking and heating. As a move in this direction, William Marconi. the inventor, has just accepted the task of reorganizing the Roman municipal electric plant.

GOVERNMENT SAID TO
 HAVE FLED BUCHAREST
Capture of Crlrtea de Arges, Only Point at Which Strength Has Been Shown, Indicates Weakening of Last Idnk-RuSSianS Open Offensive Along Northern Front-Morc Ac- tivity on Somme River.

The situation of the Rumanian armies defending Bucharest appears increasingly critical.
 Only to the northwest of the capital do the Rumanian lines seem to be holding, at all firmly, and even here the capture of Curtea> de Arges, on the Argenchu river, although that point Is 80 miles distant from Bucharest, seems to indicate a weakening of the Rumanian resistance in this direction. On the southwest the peril is immi- nent with the enveloping movement of the Central Powers placing their forces within 40 miles of the capital. News despatches have reported the Rumanian government and diplomatic officials leaving Bucharest for Jassy, 200 miles northeast of the capital, near the Russian frontier.
 The rapid progress made by General yon Falkenhayn's armies moving east in Rumania of course has been largely made possible by the opera tions of the Danube forces under Field Marshal von Mackensen. Thanked out of the Alt Valley position by the crossing of the river at Zim- nitza, the Rumanfan line along the Vedea running diagonally northwest from the Danube, likewise is imperiled by the Teutonic occupation of Giurgiu, an advance from which would quickly compel Rumanian retreat.
