was shot forward but his head struck
a beam and he was instantly killed.
Another officer volunteered and was
fortunate enough to reach the surface
and gave information abouts the con-
dition of the others below. Rescuers
inserted thru a water flap a flexible
hose thru which air, food and
chocolates were passed. The en-
tombed men asked, by means of Morse
signalling, for playing cards "to be-
guile the tedium of waiting" as one of
them said.
Strong wires were put around the
vessel and the air bottles utilized to
blow out the oil fuel slowed forward,
which enabled the vessel to drive up
wards at high speed until her bow was
well above the water in a perpendicu-
lar position.
Immediately big hole was made in
her by acetylene burners and the
forty-one men brought out and con-
veyed to an infirmary. They had been
below twentyfour hours when Cap
tain Goodhart made his Inflated at
tempt, and altogether the party was
fifty-seven hours before being saved.
Captain Goodhart was posthumously
awarded the Victoria cross.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
London, Nov. 29.-An extraordinary
story of the salvage of British sub
lock, near the Clyde, has now been
published. The submarine had seven
ty-three persons on board, including
naval contractors and men from the
yard where she had been built. The
order was given to Submerge, and she
had descended just beneath the sur
face when water began to pour into
her aft and she descended stern down
to a depth of fifteen fathams.
An inspection showed that the VEN
tilating shaft had been left open and
thirty-one persons in the rear of the
vessel were drowned Immediately. The
forepart was shut off and forty-one
persons there were saved. How their
rescue was accomplished was sensa-
tional A few hours had passed be-
fore divers were sent down on what
they considered a forlorn hope, so
far as bringing anyone DIP alive was
concerned. Getting to the bottom
they discovered that the stern of the
vessel was embedded in many feet of
mud. Knocking on the hull they were
amazed to hear a responsive tapping.
A Gallant Hero.

task which reads like a tale from Jules
Verne. The high pressure bottles were
brought into use and the captain

U-BOAT SMASHED.
One Shot From U. S. Warship Breaks
Craft in Two.

AM Atlantic Port, May 10.--The
sinking of German submarine by a
United States warship with shot
which lifted the U-boat completely
out of the water and broke her in two,
was reported by officers Of the ship
On arrival here yesterday. Because
of the fine work Of the gunners the
crew of the ship was given an addi-
tional furlough of ten days.
On the voyage over the wdrship,
previously reported from German
sources as having been wrecked,
sighted three submarines and the gum
ncrs sprane to their guns. The first
two shots fired in quick succession at
the nearest enemy missed, but the
third went hcme. 1t caught the u
boat just below the water line and so
rreat was its force that the craft was
lifted out of the water and in another
moment her back broken, she doubled
upand sank to the accompaniment of a
chorus of yells from the warship crew.
Survivors were seen in the water,
and he ether submarines, as the de-
stroyed submersible disappeared, div
cd and did rot reappear.

cal students shall be exempt or de-
ferred in the draft is, holding up legis-
,lation essential to the next major
call of men.
After an all day debate, the House
yesterday afternoon fatty declined to
allow such exemptions. The Senate
has insisted on this point. A pro-
posal to concur in the Senate's plan
was beaten 1872 to lis. The bill was
then sent back to conference, with
instructions to the House conferees
to stick by their guns.
The measure affected is the bill call
ing into the draft men who have be-
come 81 years o. age since June D
of last wear. Chairman Dent, of the
House military committee, said ne
agreed with the Houses stand on the
proposal, but that he doubted the ad-
visibility of the House holding up
an important bill when more than 2
500 or 5000 men could be affected.
Representative Garrett of Tonnes
see and Mckenzie of Illinois led in
the most vigorous principle of univer-
sal service that would create most
unfavorable impression in the coun-
try.
A hint was given that the bill may
be re-drafted to allow President Will
SON to give certain degree of pro-
lection to men already in medical
and divinity schools, and to allow new
students to enter them under condl-
tons designed to prevent draft eva
sion.
President Wilson won a striking
victory when the House, reversing a
previous stand, decided not to allow
draft districts credit for volunteers
in the army, navy and marines. Pres
ident Wilson's letter said he thought
the matter of call should be left to
the War Department.
This bill-which bases the next call
of draft men on the number of Class
/ men in each district-goes TO the
Senate.

THE PICARDY OFFENSIVE

German militarism has lost the war
by it's stupendous mistake in taking
the initiative in the destruction OF
.ran-power along the west front, says
]. w. T. Mason, well-known writer
On military matters.
No more fatal error than this has
ever been committed by absolutlst
leaders holding in their power control
over the life and death of great ma
tons manhood.
A reckless gambler with death, Won
Hindenburg has proved himself to be,
like all his kind. His reputation al
ready has begun to totter; its collapse
is inevitable.
This reputed superman set forth to
win the war for German autocracy
by breaking the allies line in Picardy.
Had the line held Won Hindenburg's
reputation might still be secure, for
it is always legitimate for a general
to take such risks as this. But the
front gave way, and yet Won linden
burg lost.
That is the most important event
in the world war since the battle of
the Marine. 1t far transcends any
other occurrence since the present
series of combats began.
The decline in Won Hindenburg's
reputation must date from the events
that happened Immediately after the
battle of ST. Quentin.
The allied line had broken! Here
was the golden opportunity for which
Germany's nilitarists had been plan
ming during nearly four years of war
fare.
But the great German war machine
collapsed when confronted with the
sudden test.
During that fateful twenty-four
hours the history of the world might
have been changed if the German
leaders had been the geniuses they
announce themselves to be.
But it was democracy that won the
victory, not autocracy.
The allied line was restored and
held fast. That is the summing up
Of the whole Pieardy offensive.

SUICIDE FROM GRIEF.
Theodore Sheldon, Newspaper. Man
And Movie Scenario. Writer, Shoots
Self in Park. -s

New York, May 1O.-The death of
his wife is said to be responsible Tor
the suicide Of Theodore Sheldon, news
paper man and motion-picture seem
ario writer, whose body, with bullet
wound in the right temple, was found
last Wednesday night in, Central Park.
A woman approached the policeman
and said she had just heard shot.
Investigation disclosed the body of the
man. On it were found several cards
and letters bearing the .i=:::c and ad-
dress of Sheldon, with an honorable
discharge from The United States
Army as private during the Spanish
American War.
Joseph A. Lemon, ali artist TREND
of the dead man, said It was evident
Sheldon had slain himself while grleV-
ing over the death of his wife, Grace,
a teacher.
The devotion OF the couple was most
notable, Mr. Lemon said, and Sheldon
was distracted when his wife died
after two days illness.
Funeral services of Mrs. Sheldon
were held Monday afternoon, and the
body was buried at kenslco, n. !.
Mr.. Sheldon tainted at the funeral
chapel as the coffin was borne out to
the hearse, and was in such state OF
collapse as to be unable to attend the
burial.
Sheldon called on Mr.. Lemon and
his wife Wednesday morning and said
he would be "out of this world" in less
than two weeks. They tried to soothe
him. but he was inconsolable. 1t was
said by Mr.. Lemon that Sheldon made
trip later to Kensico for the purpose
OF placing flowers on his wife's grave.
On the dead mans breast, when the
body was identified by his friend IN
the station house, was medal which,
Mr. Lemon said, he won for bravery
in the Spanish-American War, IN
which ne was said to have been d
member of the United States Marine
Corps.
