armies and the Belgian coast. The al.
He'd aviatorS made many raids and
dropped vast quantities Of explosives
on German military establishments
with destructive results. The German
alrmcn were not idle. but thei' main
raid was made on Nancy, where "A mum
Der Of civilians were killed.
The British government on Tuesday
announced formally, through Bonar
Law, chancellor Of the eXchequer. that
reprisals would be made for the Ger
man raids over London aud other I'M
fortified places. German towns, Mr..
Law said. will be bombarded so far as
military needs will release the ueces-
sary machines The threat may be suf-
fcient to check the harbarity of the
Germans In this respect.
Realizing the danger Of collapse
Of the Austrian forces that are oppOS-
ing the advance Of the Italians, the
central powers have withdrawn at
least forty divisions from the Russian
front and hurried them TO the rescue
Of the defenders of Trieste. Large
numbers of German. Bulgarian and
Turkish troops are now on the Italian
front.
American Destroyer Torpedoed.
The first renl American casualty list
from the war zone was given out
Wednesday by Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels. 1t included one death, that
Of Osmond Kelly Ingraham, gunners
mate, Of Pratt CITY, Ala, and the
names of five other men Of the navy
who were slightly wounded. These
men were of the crew Of an American
destroyer which was torpcdocd by IA
German submarine while on patrol in
British waters. The vessel was not
sunk and soon reached port. The re-
port came from Rear Admiral Sims
and said Ingraham was blown over
board and his body was not recovered.
Naval officers think II remarkable that
until this occurrence Admiral Sims
fighting units should all have escaped
damage In the fight against the u
boats
From Amsterdam the other day came
the report that Germany was about to
include American waters in the sub
marine zone This meant nothing to
American naval authorities for they
hnd considered our waters so included
since we entered the war. The best
informed opinion is that American
transports, with their speed and their
conveys, will be quite safe from the
submarines.
The weeks list of victims of U-boats
was small In number, but the loss of
life was greater than usual This was
due mainly to the destruction of the
French steamer Medic with the loss
Of $50 persons, including soldiers and
prisoners of war. IL is an undiSIylted
fact that service on German suhmn-
zines Is becoming more dangerous cv-
cry day, and this probably Is rcSpon-
sible for the latest reported mulny
I'm the German navy. Sailors at the
port Of Ostcnd refused to 20 aboard
the U-boats and are said to have
thrown one commander into the sea.
There Is trouble In the Austrian navy
also Soldiers and the crews of sub
mersibles have had several conflicts ut
P0ln, officers on both sides being killed.
The Austrian government thercupon
decided to change the naval base to an
other port
