an explosion was imminent, the cap

had its steam up and was about ready
TO proceed out OF the harbor, took a

Even this did not hasten the sinking

Christian Church.

Did YOU ever sit and listen to "A
man who took hold Of your heart
strings and gave them a yank so that
YOU remembered most of the little
mean things you ever did i'm life and
thot of how little you were doing To
help make things better for your fel-
OW-man?
That is what happened to the men
ana women who sat before the Rev.
James c. Burkhardt and heard him
preach at the First Christian church
Wednesday night. The speaker was
at his best and gripped the audience
with the Intensity of his words. so
that scarcely a sound was uttered in
the auditorium other than that of the
preachers voice during the time he
was speaking.
THE Unavoidable Christ" was the
topic of the sermon and in this the
evangelist pointed out the utter folly
OF attempting way to salvation other
than thru the channels opened up by
the teachings of Jesus. He declared
that the Nazercne. thru His death on
the cross at GOlgotha. opened "A door
for which all men must aim before
they can hope To enter the portals

those aboard the Antilles came with
the shock of the explosion Of the tor
pedo, many theories were current as
to how the U-boat crept through the
destroyer screen. did its work and es-
capped unchallenged.
A majority Of the officers who would
comment thought the transport and
her conveying patrols had ran directly
over lurking submarine. which saw
them coming, calculated the distance
and launched her deadly torpedo with
out ever showing more than her peri
scope. They regard it as probable
that the U-boat commander picked his
place, lay in wait below the surface
until his microphones told him the
patrols had passed and the transport
was upon him, then shot his periscope
above water only long enough to sight
and fire before he ducked back to
safety.
Rescue Work Prevents Pursuit..
Any attempt to locate the submarine
probably was made impossible by the
necessity Of rescuing the survivors.
The vessel must have been virtually
torn in half by the explosion to have
gone down in the time she did.
Probably the attack was made we'll
out at sea. 1t took two days for the
news to reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word
could reach Admiral Sims. The sur.
vivors are believed to be already safe
ashore somewhere in France or Eng.
land.
So far as known, no high officers, OF
the army or navy were due to return
on the Antilles. There is no definite
information on that point, however. 40
only General Pershing knows who was
sent home on the ship. The reports
SO far show that number of army
officen and 80 enlisted army men
were aboard. Evidently Admiral
Sims rushed his tidings of before he
communicated with General Pershing.
10 First Transport Hit.
The loss Of the Antilles marks the
first reduction of the transport feet
that has been operating. A very con.
siderable number of American troops.
wOrkmen and others involved in the
prosecution of the war have been car
led safely to France and England and
the unsuccessful attack on the first
contingent is the only recorded previ'
GUS instance where the U-boats have
succeeded even in catching sight d
the vessels.
