LONDON, Sept. Histories of some
recent successes of the British navy
against German submarines were given
to the public tonight in a series OF
brief descriptions of eight encounters,
in which eight and possibly nine o.
boats were accounted for. These eight
sea battle pictures were selected so as
TO cover practically the whole ground
OF anti-submarine activities.
In one case there was a battle be-
tween an auxiliary cruiser and sub
marine, In another engagement bet
ween a sea-plane and submarine,
then battle between two submarines,
in which the British submarine cap
tain proved himself the better man,
and finally two tales of successes of
armed merchantmen against the
enemy.

sinking of the British steamer, Strath-
dene, West Point, Kingston and Ste

nial of everything in connection with
the Washington disclosures, and in re-

COUPLE RESCUED
FROM FLAMES

NEW PARIS, O., Sept 15-Mr and
Mrs. Peter Price, living about six
miles north Of here, narrowly escaped
being burned alive when their home
was destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. Neighbors noticing the house
was in flames, rescued the couple just
as the fire had begun to eat its way
into the room in which they were
sleeping
The origin of the fire was not dis
covered, but it is believed to have
been caused by a small fire made by
Mr.. Price in a cook stove. Mrs. Price
has been i'll for some time and her
husband built a small fire Of some
shingles to heat a pan for her. This
was the only fire in the house at any
time yesterday or last night, and to
it is attributed the blaze.
The house was one of the land
marks of Darke county, being one of
the Oldest houses in this vicinity. The
damage caused by the fire is estimat-
ed at $4,000, only part of which was
covered by insurance.

or James P. Goodrich, who is ill of ty.
phoid fever at the Methodist hospital
here, was reported at the hospital at
noon today to show a slight improve
ment over his condition reported at
10 a. m.
The governor passed a satisfactory
night, but during the morning circu-
latory trouble developed. At noon,
however, the heart action was said to
be stronger, indicating the complica-
ton had been, at least partially over
come.
DR.. Dader S. Hunt, of Winchester,
the Goodrich family physician, is
here to assist DR.. Charles R. Sowders,
the local physician in charge of the
case. The physician gave out the fol-
lowing signed statement at noon to-
day:
Governor Goodrich has been i'll
with typhoid fever for about 80 days.
He has a second infection of recur-
rent, beginning about September 4.
and is now in the height of this recur-
renee. His temperature varies from
1922 to 1898 degrees; heart rate rs
to 50; respiration 1S to 20.
"We can hardly expect any great
reduction in temperature and with an
improvement in his general condition
before the end of four of five days. He
is seriously ill and the final outcome
will depend on the absence of compli-
cations and his inherent power to re-
sist the depicting effects of the infec-
ton" a. .u..
