SURGEONS IN SEA BATTLE
Hercuiean Tasks That Were Faced in
Great Naval Fight Off
JutIand Bank

During the battle of Jutland bank
the naval surgeons performed q ter
rible task" writes the medical CORE
spondent of the London Times. He
tells of the sudden emergency that
confronted them, and the hasty trans
fer of stores and equipment from the
sick bays above the armor to the fore
and aft distributing stations below it.
"Soon in their station" he continues,
"they heard the booming of guns, and
soon there crept down to them the
fumes of the exploding charges. From
that time the stations became the
scenes of fierce and terrible activity.
''In one great ship bellying smoke
filled the doctors rooms at the very
moment when the streams of wounded
began to flow down to them, adding
suffocation to the thousand other per-
lis of the work. The ship reeled I'M
der pounding blows, she staggered in
a difficult sea the concussion of her
guns was so great as to preclude the
possibility of adequate surgical assist
ance. Wearing gas masks, the doctors
did what they could, bending their en-
ergies selflessly to the great task, as
Is the tradition of their calling.
''In another ship an enemy she'll de-
stroyed the aft station utterly so that
the whole work of relief fell on the
remaining forward one. Hour after
hour, without reck of time or exhaus-
ton, the staff labored to overtake its
great task. Another ship was holed
and had her electric light cut off The
medical station was in darkness; it
was foul with the gas fumes from the
enemy shells, water poured in by the
holes in the vessels sides. Here, single
handed, young naval surgeon toiled
by the light of an electric torch until
he was ordered to get his wounded
away because the ship WAS sinking.
And this task he achieved so well that
not life was lost. The doctors wit
messed strange scenes during these
hours, and perhaps the strongest OF
all was that which followed the an
nouncement that a German ship had
gone down, for then all the wounded,
including the man on the operating
table, began to cheer"

Horse Holds His Own Well.

"The horse is doomed. If the peo-
pie keep on buying automobiles, the
horse will soon become rare animal,
seen only in geological gardens and
museums" We have heard some such
prediction thousand times. What is
the fact? Reports of the department
of commerce show that in the last 10
years the number of horses in the
United States, far from decreasing,
has increased over so per cent. In 1915
1t was estimated there We're more than
81, 100000 horses in the country, valued
at S2,O00,000,0O0. Manifestly, the
horse is not so easily crowded out as
some of us thought. Notwithstanding
the fact that racing is less popular and
automobiles multiply beyond all count,
the horse more than holds his own.

Mr. Shepard brought back several samples of rock which show free gold in small quantities, but says that he found nothing which would warrant anyone returning to the spot.
 The two men, Shepard and Bern CTS Bay John." were on the noun tains for five days and were with .out food for the greater part of that time. They were unable to carry blankets with them and Shep- ard spent two nights behind rock

Sends Two Steamers to Bottom and Allows Three to Go
 Unharmed.
BOLD DAYLIGHT DEED
Tragic Work Committed within Sight of the French
 Shores.

HAVRE, Aug. 12.-within sight of the French coast and in broad daylight, five ships were held up early this forenoon on the English channel by German undersea boat, two were sunk and three were al- lowed to proceed. This is the in- formation brought here this after noon by one of the ships spared by the German commander.
 The five steamers were near to. gether when suddenly a German submarine came to the surface of the channel and displayed the sig nal that all must heave to. One of the steamers was the French liner Marie, but loaded only with freight, having no passengers aboard. The captain of the Marie was told to hustle his men into the lifeboats. The crew piled into the boats and had only cleared when a torpedo sent her to the bottom.
 The same command was then is- sued to the captain of the NOrweg- ian steamer credO sOrO, loaded with food supplies and lumber. The crew was hardly in the water in their lifebOats when the steamer was tOrpedOed and she sunk sOhrtly af- forwards.
 Men from the submarine then made search cof the other three steamers but they were allowed to proceed the crews of the two boats sunk rowing to the French shore.
 Hardly had the supmarine sent the two steamers to the bottom and searched the other three when Q fleet of British and French torpedo boats arrived on the scene. They were within sight of the hOld-up brt too far away to be oi scrvlec wien the raid was made. The Ger man boat submerged and was not seen again.
