whom were saved. OF the passengers
116 were in the first cabin, So in the
second cabin and SIS in the steerage.
The explosion occurred at o'clock
in the afternoon in stormy weather. with
a boisterous sea running. The passen-

THE tug boat Thames picked up all
the survivors in the course of about
three hours. Again the heavy seas and

steamer doubtless ran across the edge
Of the safety channel into the mine
zone. After the explosions, which were
not excessively loud. engines were Inn
mediately reversed. There was no panic,
although the lowering of a couple of
sick passengers into the lifeboats
caused some difficult and anxious mo-
ments.
The tug Thames stood by the Moor
dam for about seven hours, during
which the retransfer of the crew was
made, and then set a course for land.
The passengers in the meantime were

Advertisement was expressed that

was due to their strict orders to avoid
the mine zone.
This is the second time the Noordam
has struck a mine. Her cargo's value
Is estimated at $4,000. 900.

ANCIENT ROMANY is STRICKEN BY WAR

for an extended inspection. About
forty families were encamped on the
floor, with strange collection of
household paraphernalia. Besides the
door, the only possible ventilation was
broken window pane. What seemed
to cause particular complaint was the
broken pane, not the ventilation.
You could not help feeling sorry for
these poor mountain folk, driven from
their homes by war of which and
about which they knew nothing. and in
which they had no interest. To them
bucharest was as far off as Berlin.
Not one but envled the prosperity of
the Roumanians on the Hungarian side
of the Carpathians. Yet the war had
wrecked their city and their homes,
and strange German soldiers we're
marching through their streets In pur-
suit of the fathers and brothers who
had fled with the Roumanian army
into the mountain Businesses beyond.
SO far we had passed column after
column of heavy baggage trains car
rying provisions and ammunition to
the front. Now our automobile slowed
up, as we picked our way through IL
marching regiment. They were Il dusty
lot of men, loaded down with heavy
knapsacks and their winter equipment.
For the nights are bitterly cold IN
these passes. Yet they sang as we
passed them and seemed as CHEEKY as
though they were going on i mountain
lark. That is, most of them did For
some of them it was a hard struggle
with no pleasure ahead
The head of this column had just
reached the crest and left the road.
For down the other side there was no
need of following the long windingS
over which our automobile had to 20
with brakes set. The soldiers scam
pered freely down the bluffs. reaching
the bottom almost as quickly as we
did. But again we had TO climb long
and tedious hill on the other side be
fore we came to the valley In which
the war operations were now on.
The Darker Side of Marching
A week later we made The same trip,
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1917-03-01

this time following General Won Falken-
hayn himself on an inspection trip of
this front. And now it rained. The
gorgeous beauty of these wild noun
tain cragS, the purple mists that yelled
the garish colors of the peaks, the fas-
cination and the splendor of what
Americans call Indian summer were
gone. Everything had assumed, as 1t
by magic, drab colors. The misty rain
beat against us before an icy wind.
The steep roads became perious with
slippery mud. There was no song from
the soldiers that we passed. Dripping,
soaked they plodded YEARLY and
slowly. The horses of the baggage
trains seemed to feel the same way
about il. The automobile trucks tioun-
dercd in the mud and many had mar
row escapes. 1t Is no light task to
navigate one Of these giant cars on
crooked, slippery mountain road.
ON little shelves of the mountain side
were smoky bivouac fires trying hard
to burn. About them were drenchcd
soldiers trying to dry their soaked
equipment and uniforms. Here and
there tapped tiny dog tents into which
these soldiers would creep for the
night in the hope that tomorrow would
bring bit of sunshine.
Wounded Know No Hate.
Around turn in the road came n
slowly moving, weary OK train. The
oxen seemed to mind the rain less than
the horses. 1t was the contents of the
wagons these oxen pulled slowly and
ponderously through the mud that
made our auto slow down rs we passed
them. Each wagon contained a num-
Der OF wounded lying in the straw.
1t was in this section that the Rou-
manians had attempted to stop the
German advance by blowing up the
road at three abrupt curves. They
had done their work well. The eXplO-
sons tore off the whole shelf on which
the road was carried. But the Ger
man engineers had done ,her work
equally well. They hurriedly built up
a wall at about the middle Of the de
stroyed road, then dynamlted away Il
big chunk of the overhanging noun
tain side. This fell against their new
abutment, and In three hours the Ger
mans were able TO put artillery over
the new road.

Mr.. Barr says that farm land at

These lands are in high state of cul-

yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per

Last year, 1915, his half share OF

80 per cent on the capital invested

80 bushels per acre. This year the

of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought q quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Haniey. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a

What Is Uric oAcid?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Elk.
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail TO do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble ia oaly n

liz best done by treatment with Anuric,
