NEW YORK. May 1.-The French
passenger steamer Patria. which ar
rived here today from Naples and
Palermo. reported that on her last out
ward voyage. at 10 n. NJ. on Npri'
., she was the target OF submarine
torpedo attack in the Mediterranean
The torpedo missed the ship by about
ten feet. the officers said.
The Patria was at the time passing
Cape Spartavento, off the coast Of Sar-
inia and running at full speed the
submarine did not show itself. The
Patria was not armed at the time, but
Il gun was placed on her after-deck
when she arrived in Naples. and was
ready for action during the trip fin
ished here to-day.
This is the second time that the Pa
tria has escaped destruction by tor
pcdo. On her arrival here on March
1G she reported that she had narrowly
missed being hit by Il torpedo off the
coast of Tunis on March l. AZ that
time there were twenty-nine Ameri-
cans on the vessel.
The Patria at the time of her second
escape had aboard at least one Amer

he saw the wake which told him a
torpedo was approaching.

Captain Dechel1e. at was too late to

pedo was travelling about thirty-hve
knots. 1t went under the bow. missing
the Patria by about ten feet. The
weather was clear, and many Of the
passengers were on deck and saw the
wake.

great message Is addressed. Thousands
urge that all who suffer from the many
kindred ailments arising from the COM

here at our door in our home town has
proven truly remarkable prcpara-
ton for stomach. kidney or liver all
