FIRED AT AMERICAN SHIP.
Two German Submarines Make Con-
certed Attack.

New York. June 3.-Two German
submarines made concerted torpedo
attack on the American line steam
ship kroonland on her last outward
voyage from this port. firing four
torpedoes, two of which hit the liner
glancing blows. according to a report
brought here by an American recently
in England.
The liner was nearing the British
coast, the American was informed,
when two torpedoes, fired from sub
merged U-boats we're seen. Both tor
pedoes missed the bow of the ship
by less than twenty feet.
The Kroonland already was going
at high speed and then vigilant Of
officer on the bridge gave orders to
zigzag.
Quickly two more torpedoes were
launched. This time the aim of the
Germans was better. for the missiles
actually touched the sides of the lin
er, but the blows were not sufficiently
direct to explode the torpedoes. The
naval gunners on the Kroonland open
ed fire at the unseen U-boats, sending
explosive shells into the water at
the point it was judged the submersi-
bles were when the torpedoes were
launched.

GERMAN DESTROYER SUNK.
British Light Cruisers and Destroyers
in Running Engagement.

London, June "a German de-
stroyer has been sunk and another
damaged in running fight between
six German destroyers and Commo-
dore Tyrwhitt's squadron, the admir-
atty announces.
The text of the admiralty's an
nouncement reads:
'The vice admiral at Dover reports
that the enemy naval base and work-
shops at Ostend were heavily bonn
barded in the early hours this morn
ing A large number of rounds were
fired with good result. The enemy
shore batteries returned our fire, but
our bombarding forces suffered no
damage
Commodore Tyrwhitt also reports
that early this morning a force Of
light cruisers and destroyers under
his command sighted six German de-
stroyers and engaged them at long
range in a running fight. One of the
enemy destroyers, the $50, was sunk
by our gunfire and another severely
damaged. Seven survivors from the
$40 have been picked up and made
prisoners. There were no casualties
on our side.'
According to the Evening News
correspondent, when Commodore Tyr
whitt's squadron first sighted the Ger
mans they were five miles distant.
They had apparently put out to sea
in fear of bombardment from the air
and the water. When they tried to
regain port the British squadron di-
vided into two lines. A British de-
stroyer opened the engagement and
her fire damaged the $40 almost i'm
mediately. Then a British cruiser

soon began to sink. A destroyer res
cued seven survivors during the
chase of the remaining five Destroy
ers. This continued until the Ger
mans had reached the mined waters
of the Belgian coast.

SHARK ATTACKS MAN.
Mrs. Pierpont Re>cues Husband and
iiu>hes Him to Hospital.

Savannah, Ga, June 3.-The first
indication OF sharks along coast came
early this evening when Wallace ].
Pierpont, Jr., son OF Mayor w. J.
Pierpont, Of Savannah, was attacked
by a man-eater while on an outing
with his wife and little son about
forty miles from the city. The shark
tore a considerable amount of flesh
from Mr.. Pierpont's right arm but
with the assistance of his wife he was
able to scramble into their launch
and made dash for Savannah, where
he was subjected to an operation.
The Pierponts had gone to Cali
bogue Creek for the day and Mr..
Pierpont had dived into the water
with a tow rope to tow theR launch
into shallow water to allow his young
son to take swim. AS soon as he
struck the water the shark appeared
and made a dive for him. ,/both he
and the shark going underline water.
Mrs. Pierpont, although terribly
frightened, retained her presence of
mind and, seeing her husband go
under, took hold of the tow rope and
was able to draw him to the top. He
got into the boat and despite his bad
ly mangled arm managed to get the
motor started and the launch headed
for Savannah. First, however, Mrs.
Pierpont rendered her husband first
aid by bandaging his wound with
strips torn from her clothing. Before
going many miles Mr.. Pierpont be-
came weakened from the loss of blood
and when a tug was sighted Mrs.
Pierpont frantically called for help.
A man aboard the tug went to the
launch and taking charge brought
the party into Savannah. On arriv-
ing here Mr.. Pierpont was all but un-

House Throws Out Censorship.
'Brandenburg, Germany.

Washington, May 3l.-The admin
istration's fight for war censorship
for newspapers was lost in congress
today, at least for the present, when
the house refused by vote of 1S4
to 144 to accept even the modified
censorship section written into the
espionage bill in conference. The
senate already is on record as oppos-
ed to a censorship and leaders in con-
gress do not expect any further ad-
ministration effort to enact one soon.
The test in the house came on a
motion to recommend the espionage
bill with instructions that the CEN
sorship regulation be eliminated. De-
spite a determined attempt of Demo
cratic managers to line up the party
strngth behind President Wilson's de-
mand for censorship, 81 Democratic
representatives joined the Republi-
cans voting for the motion. Eleven
Republicans, disregarding their par
Tvs caucus decision, voted in the neg
atiye.

CANNING A SIMPLE PROCESS

Canning is quite a simple process
when the reasons for the different
steps are known. In the cold-pack
method, the vegetables or fruit are
first dipped into boiling water, (the
time varies for different fruits and
vegetables) and then dipped into cold
water. This is called blancing, it re-
moves Objectionable acid and acrid
favors; it has an effect on the bac.
terra so that single sterilizing only is
needed; it sets the color; it loosens
the skin and makes the pulp more
firm. Then put into cans and then
boil the required time. The covers
should be placed loosely during the
boiling so as to prevent the jars burst.
ing. When boiled, tighten the covers.
The boys and girls can can by this
system as we'll as grown-ups. The
point being to kill the bacteria and to
seal the cans tight so no more bac-
terra can enter.
