additional men aboard his craft. the

petty officers. One of the gunners.
whose name was Miller, was included.
because he could speak German.
The submarine was the u. Bruce
did not learn the commanders name.
The German told him, he said. that he
had first fired 4 torpedo at the Cam

apparently passing under the steam
ship.
The CampaDa was sent to the bottom
by bombs. after her crew had been
allowed to return and get their per-
sonal effects Directions were given
TO Bruce by the submarine commander
how to reach the nearest port. He told
him at the same time that he had
heard wireless messages exchanged by
two French war vessels in the vicinity
and warned him not to allow himself
to be picked up by them.
4 am going to sink them" he said.

Nurses Bear No Rank.

The nurses also have signed for the
duration of the war. hut they have
simply an indefinite rate as nurses.
which, far as can be made out,
places them in neither the commits
stoned nor the enlisted grade.
The nurses serving at the British
front work with British nurses who
are commissioned from second lieu
tenant up and wear the regular in
sigma of A commissioned rank.
1t may seem small matter to the
uninitiated, but there are many in
stances where nurses have to act on
their own responsibility in ever re-
curing emergencies. and on these oc-
casion; a definite rank would be of
invaluable assistance.

QUESTIONS
 ARE ASKED
 BY SENATORS Want to Know Why No American Artillery is Supplied American
 Troops LABOR SHORTAGE NOW Gen. Crozier Also Tells Senate Committee Con- gress is Somewhat
 To Blame
LABOR SHORTAGE NOW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. The members of the military committee of the Senate Investigating the con duct of the war today asked Gen. Crozier to give specific explanation of delays in supplying arms and ar tillery to the soldiers.
 Senator George E. Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of the committee, said that Crozier yesterday blamed the labor situation and Congress for delays. Senator Gilbert M Hitch cock of Nebraska asked Why do Americans have to use French ar tillery, although we have been in the war nine months" He also wanted to know why American sol diers were without proper clothing equipment.
 Gen. Crozier said that Secretary Baker was to blame for delays in securing machine guns He declared that none of the American troops would be delayed from reaching France because of the lack of mod ern rifles.
 Close questioning from the Sena- tors drew from Gen. Crozier that the War Department selected machine guns known as the Browning guns, which had been exhaustively tested, but never tested in the field. A trial of them is now being made and they are being manufactured. None has been delivered and it is expected that none will be delivered before April next.
 French guns are being issued to the American forces in France.
 Crozier said it was not intended to use the much discussed Lewis gun at all. America is making the Vicker's guns for British. Crozier said the Allies had a surplus of guns.
