U-Boats Cruised 3 Hours
Among Lincoln S Lifeboats

Two German U-boats took part in the
President Lincoln, sailed among the
lifeboats crowded with survivors for
three hours and took off an American
officer as captive, according to the
stories of rescued sailors. who reached
an Atlantic port last night.
The survivors reached this country
without any previous announcement OF
their coming, and it was only when they
had reached their homes that their
stories were made public. The men
said that it was 8 o'clock in the morn
ing of May 81 when they saw the wakes
of two torpedoes at the same time.
Almost simultaneously the two dead
lv missiles found their mark, one fore of
the engine compartment, the other aft
Whether both shots were fired by the
same submarine, or by the pair discov-
cred later, no one could tell.

transport kept her head above water
for more than a half hour, while the
seamen and soldiers aboard were able

1t was while they were in the life
boats that the submarine, hitherto in
visible, popped into sight. First one
showed periscope, then the second
one. The men in the boats were sing
ing, "The Gangs All Here" rejoicing
at the fact that almost all of them
had been able to get away safely
when their glee was brought to an
abrupt halt by the hail of the U-boat
commander.
"Wherc is your captain ?" he shouted

Crush German Papers

The American Defence Society sta
toned women yesterday in New York
hotels to obtain signatures to the petit

President Wilson to suppress German
newspapers and magazines IN the
United States for the period Of the

the Imperial.
1t is the intention of the society to
obtain 100000 signatures to the petit

he is going to explain a month from
now why the war isn't over.
As hero. he was successful; as
an optimist, he was preeminent, but
as navy coxswain, he was probably
one of the rankest failures that ever
tried to boss q gang of "gobs."
He got his rating because he was a
member of the gun crew that sank
the first submarine after we entered
the war. He was assigned to a trans
port shortly thereafter. and tha men
over whom he was supposed to have
authority "made him" at once. AS a
manhandler he was fivver. They
proved it.
He would receive orders for q Ger
tain job. He would summon his gang,
the members of which would yawn,
as he gave them instructions, and then
wander away, leaving him. optimist
i that he was, to do the whole thing him
! self.
His downfall came one morning when
he and his gang had been ordered to
swab down deck. Alone in his glory
he was laboring, swab in hand, and a
hose from which forceful stream
was gushing, grippcd between his
knees. Suddenly the hose slipped, and
a miniature waterfall lcaped oversize,
deluging a lieutenant on the deck be-
low.

In the movies, they do it.
Fourteen-year- r-old Anna Buffers par
ents spoke harshly to her. so she de-
cided to end it all, in accordance with
the precedents laid down in the film
serials. Late Tuesday night she slipped
away to the railroad yards at East 1920
Street and tied herself to railroad
track. Perhaps she dreamed that scena-
rios after all were merely reflections
of life itself, and that just before the
express came along a handsome young
cowpuncher would gallop UP and res
cue her.
In real life they don't do it.
Presently Anna grew weary of hel
sensational but uncomfortable posi-
ton, but she had tied herself so firmly
that she couldn't move. 1t wasn't unit
early yesterday morning that she was
discovered and released. Her nice
white dress was ruined with rust, fol

A touching incident with reference
to the death Of the late Bishop Brewer
recently came to light through an
American missionary located in re.
mote mountain district Of Montana.
When the belated news Of the death of
Bishop Brewer came to certain wom-
an in this isolated settlement, she hoist.
ed an American flag at half-mast over
little schoolhouse some distance away,
in token of his death. The woman did
not belong to the church, but she had
known and respected the bishop for
many years, and 1t had been her Gus
tom through all the years to travel
many miles to the nearest mission
point to attend the services when the
bishop made his visitations each year,
Without respect to custom she kept
this flag there for over a month, and
not until the visit of the missionary
was the significance explained and the
story related.

Russian Iron Ore.

Iron ore is found in many parts Of
Russia, although 1t is mined in but
few localities. In the Ural range there
are whole mountains of rich ore, con-
tanning from so to 70 per cent of iron.
Among these ore mountains are Blag.
odat, Magnitnaya and Vysokaya. De-
spite it's apparent accessibility, iron
ore in this vicinity is not mined very
extensively. The Ural deposits yield
ed, in 1913, 1,S32,O0O tons of iron ore,
out of the total 9,692, 300 for the whole
of Russia.
Besides these, silver, copper, lead.
zinc ores are extant in various parts
of Russia, and these deposits are prob
ably sufficient to supply her needs {:
however, the development of the min
ing industry is insufficient as yet to
make the yield meet the demand. She
is compelled to import large quantities
Of the ores needed in her metallurgy,
while her own wealth is lying dormant.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
