One of the officers overcame this trying difficulty by inventing an ap- paratus for carrying loosened earth or rock to the surface by use of electric power By this arrangement two men can do the work formerly done by ten. When the earth has reached the surface 1t falls into barrows and is wheeled away along the level and dis tributed about in such manner as not to attract the attention of the en- emy's airmen always flying about the lines to observe what is going on in the opposing position.
 Several army sawmills have been started to privide the props and plank ing for the shelters and everything is done at minimum cost
 The veterans so employed have sus- tained losses when working in ex- posed positions, but no danger appears to daunt them and they continue their jobs as tho they were working in the fields at home. They have adapted themselves to the use of the modern tools, and altho the great majority of them had no previous experience of electric drills and borers they now use them as we'll as as practiced miners.

the United States hospital ship Solace.
Fifteen sailors were overcome by smoke
and coal gas while fighting the IRE.
Smoke was discovered coming from

o'clock on Thursday night by Quarter
master Allen, who was returning from

wood. medical inspector in charge OF
the ship, and two hundred bluel ackets
and officers turned out to night the
flames. Seven sick sailors were carried
through smoke TO safety and later were
transferred to the Naval Hospital, IN
Flushing Avenue.
Some Of the sailors, without waiting
TO don smoke jackets, lowered them
selves into the hold with hose, but
were soon overcome. A hose was then
run into the bunkers from the battle
snip New Jersey, and tons OF water
were poured in until the vessel settled

The Solace, which is attached TO the
AtlAntic feet. was to have left on Mon
dav for duty in the Southern drill
grounds. but il is doubtful il she can
be repaired in time. The fire is be
lieved to have been due TO spontaneous
combustion, caused by poor ventilation.
