from the Finland. Her commander evil
IDENTIFY poked his periscope above the
surface to see whether his shot had hit
the mark. The periscope disappeared at
once. We elung to our half submerged
boat for some time and it seemed like
hours later when we were picked up,
all safe and sound, but chilled through.
While | was clinging to this life
boat, we all noticed that the Finland
remained ON an even keel, rolling with
the waves, We kept wondering how long
it would be before she finally keeled
over and sunk. We could see a great
gaping hole in her side-at least 35 feet
long and Is feet high. But she kept
afloat and presently we could make
out that number of life boats return
ed, the survivors reboarding. We fin
ally went back. The torpedo struck the
Finland S coal bunkers, barely missing
the engine room. But it was the engine
room S water tight compartments, hur-
riedly closed by the engineer. that un-
doubtedly saved the ship.
That engineer s presence of mind
saved all of us. He fought off frantic
foreign coal beavers and stokers and
unaided himself closed all the doors to
the bulkhead.
The navy department announced the
torpedoing of the Finland on November
1. On the following day official an
nouneement was made of the loss of
nine lives in the attack-three members
of the United States navy gun crew,
four members of the Finland S crew and
two United States army privates.
The department reports declared
that no one had seen German submar-
inc prior to the attack. Bloom is the
first one to report having seen peris-
cope.

Auto Row Has New Concern
In Gates Half Sole Tire Co,

Omaha has added another new con-
Germ to its growing Auto Row.
which will be known as the Gates
Half-Sole Tire company. The new
company will locate at 2522 Farnam
street in the old Marathon tire loca-
ton and will be in charge of Z. NJ.
Shepard.
The Gates Half-Sole tire is manu-
factured in Denver by the Interna-
tional Rubber company and has
grown to be a great favorite among
western motorists.
The Gates idea is not the utiliza-
ton of two old tires in constructing
a new one, but is based upon the idea
of retreading. An outer tread or
half-sole, as they call it. is securely
glued to the carcass of an old casing,
thus making a casing which will stand
a written guarantee of $500 miles.
