DRAFT BACKER ESCAPES FOE
Ignorance of Use of Explosive Saves
the Life of Lord AtheIstan.

Montreal, Que, Aug. 10.-The sum-
mer home at Cartierville of Lord
Athelstan, publisher of the Montreal
Star, was dynamited. Lord Athelstan
was in his residence, but was not in
jured. The house was badly damage.
The Montreal Star has been a warm
advocate Of conscription.
Other members Of the family in the
house at the time Of the explosion
were Lady Athelstan, Thomas Graham,
his brother, and Hon. Miss Graham.
There were also eight servants.
Experts say that the escape of those
in the house was due to the fact that
the dynamite was handled by men un-
familiar with it, thus reducing the eff
feet Of the explosion. If it had been
properly packed the house would have
been wrecked, they say.
The charge was placed almost di-
rectly under the room of Miss Gra-
ham.

chairman Declares Submarine Was
Hit by Shell After Firing
Torpedo.

Newport News, Va, Aug. 1O.-De-
struction Of the British steamer Ar
gala, carrying 40 American muleteers,
by German submarine was reported
by cable to the ships agents here.
Captain Norris and ten of the crew
were lost; survivors were landed at
Glasgow. Whether any of the lost
were Americans was not reported. No
details were given.

U-Boat Sunk by u. S. Men.
Washington, Aug. 10.-The COM
mander of the armed guard of an
American merchantman has reported
to the navy department that his crew
sank submarine after the Germans
had made an unsuccessful attempt to
sink the ship.
The navy department has declined
to publish details of the report on the
grounds that such publication would
result in the death Of the crew COM
mander If he should be captured by
Germans hereafter.
Torpedo Fails to Explode.
The commanding officers report
states that in broad daylight his look
outs plainly discerned periscope on
the port of his ship, but before the
range could be had it disappeared. At
the same instant he and his gunners
distinctly saw torpedo ripping
through the surface of the water on
direct line for the ship.
The periscope having disappeared,
there was nothing to shoot at, SO the
gun crew made a dash for the life
boats.
U-Boat Goes to Bottom.
But the members of the gun crew
were astounded because there had
been no explosion. The torpedo failed
to explode.
The crew then manned the guns.
Two or three minutes later a sub
marine appeared on the starboard side

The gun crew opened fire and the
submarine submerged, badly shattered,
and undoubtedly went to the bottom.
Another U-Boat Sunk.
London, Aug. 1O.-Another mer-

Decline Of English Agriculture.

Up to about the year 1885 all went
well with English agriculture and the
value Of land and rents constantly In
creased. Then came few wet, ruin
GUS seasons, largely increasing imports
Of grain, beef, bacon and cheese from
the United States and heavy fall in
prices Of all kinds Of farm products.
What was the cause? Simply that the
Western prairie lands were opened up
by railroads and those big ranch own
ers sent their products East. What
was not needed in the Eastern states
was shipped to English free-trade mar
kets, with the Inevitable outcome Of
low prices.
In comparatively short while thou
sands Of English farmers were ruined,
land fell 40 per cent in price, rents
had to be lowered fully one-third and
the rural population decreased.

TRAIN j. s. men
over IN ENGLAND
American Troops Are Being In
structed by British
Officers.
GIVEN The GAS MASK DRILL
Majority of the Men Working Hard In
Order to Be Ready to Build Roads
In France and Fight II
Necessary.

London, Aug 1O.-Through the cour-
tesy Of the war and foreign offices, q
correspondent has been permitted to
visit the American troops at their bill
let's in England. They were found en-
camped in valley in which white
tents extended as far as the eye could
see, with British officers and squads
Of noncommissioned officers intensively
training them.
These British instructors were busy
making soldiers from men who until
g few weeks ago never saw an auto
matte pistol or gas mask, and they
were quite pleased at the success of
say, learn quickly, understand thor
oughly, and do not forget what has
been told them.
Get Gas Mask Drill.
Today the Americans were working
with gas masks. The instructors
break up companies in squads, and the
members stand in circle and get les
sons in quick adjustment, a feat which
often means life or death. 'It Is a
question of quick or Dead" the instruc,
tor told the Americans, and after that
no time was lost in the operation.
Once speedy in the adjustment OF
the mask, the Americans are taken to
the gas trenches, where they walk
through deadly fumes and to the open
plain, where just little of various
gases are liberated from tanks.
This IS done so that the soldiers will
learn to recognize the smell, and take
no more than one whiff.
Men Eager for Service.
Most Of the men at this encampment
are made up from the operating and
construction divisions Of American rail
roads, and they are working hard In
order to be ready to construct and op
crate roads in France, and to fight fol
this privilege If necessary.
A taste of what Is coming In the way
of weather and mud already has beer
had. Some of the companies arrived
at the camp in a driving rain which
continued for four days. The ground
was sea Of mud, and when finally
the sun broke through the cloud ROOT
the whole camp gave three cheers fol
1t.
Win Praise From British.
The British officers at the camp are
highly pleased with the appearance
and adaptability of the Americans anG
with the scheme Of enrolling the rail
road men in separate units. One Of
f1cer said:
''These men of yours are all healthy
husky and intelligent and should dc
honor to their country and themselves
The American plan of putting railroad
men into separate units is excellent.
''The trained man in the Job he thor
oughly understands makes the most ef
f1cient unit. These men when they
reach the field of operations can run
military railroad or kill Germans
Therefore they are dOubly valuable"

REGULARS

With the Mexican government troops III
under the command of General Porfirio
Gonzales, who last week organized a revo-
luton of his own against the Mexican gov
ernmeni, have turned south from dan
gerous proximity to the border, and are
now speeding toward the little town of
Mendez. in the state of Tamaulipas, on the
Rio DC In Conchas, and safely away from
the right Of way Of the Constitutionalist
railroad. according 10 reports reaching
military headquarters in Matamoros.
Reports to Matamoros apparently are
agreed that Gonzales main force consists
of about seventy men. After spending
several dayS at the little town Of Genera
Teran. they turned north toward the Dor
der. and detachment of forty men unde
command of man named Rodriguez nj
tackled the town Of Treyino, near Mier
killing xix Of the garrison Of eighteen, the
balance escaping. The object of this at
tack apparently was the sacklng of the
town. Several citizens were Said to have
hold considerable sums of money but they
escaped safely.
The capture Of Trevino caused great ex
citement at the town of Mier. which pre-
pared for an attack. The arrival of the
government troops, however, averted dan
ger. The government troops then began
marching inland, the rebels turning to the
south.
Gonzales organization, Matamoros of
ficial~ say, j. too small 10 cause serious
trouble, although it l. agreed that il may
take some time 10 entirely disperse the
