Launch Before Being
Picked Up; Submarine
Shells Two Ships.
BY Associated Press.

Newport News, Va, Aug. 9.-The
American schooner Stanley L. Sea-
man bound from Newport News to a
foreign port was sunk last Monday,
ITO miles east of Cape Hatteras, by a
German submarine. Captain w. c.
McAloney and crew of eight men ar
rived today at this port, having been
picked up by British vessel.
4 The Seaman, Captain McAloney
said, was fired on without warning
while becalmed about noon Monday.
The crew took to their small boats,
but later were permitted to return for
provisions, and then put off in a gas
ol;ne launch. The members of the
submarine crew looted the ship before
sinking it with a bomb. Captain Nc
Aloney and his crew spent three days
in the launch in the gulf stream be-
fore they were picked up. a.
The submarine was described by
Captain McAloney as the u 1872, $50
feet long and mounting four guns. two
six-inch fore and aft the coming
tower, with a small gun on either side.

New York, Aug. o.-The German
submarine which on Tuesday after
noon sunk the Diamond Shoals light
ship and the American steamer
Merak was last seen in pursuit of
and shelling lumber-laden steam
schooner and a tramp steamship of
about 1000 tons. This was learned
today when officers and crew of the
destroyed steamer Merak arrived.
The Merak, when attacked, the Of
hcers said, was about three miles
north of the lightship and the work
of her destruction was interrupted
long enough for the submarine to
disable with gun fire the light ves-
sells wireless apparatus. After the
Merak had been sunk by bombs, the
U-boat turned full attention to the
lightship and sent her to the bottom.
This work had no sooner been COM
pleted when the lumber schooner and
the tramp hove into sight and the
submarine put after them.

chantmen approaching from the op-
posite direction. The periscope was
barely $50 feet from the port bow OF
the yacht.
The captain observed a bubbling
rush of water, evidently caused by
volumes of air escaping to the sur
face. A third depth charge was
dropped.
One survivor covered with thick
coating of oil was picked up.

GENERAL F0CH
PUTS P|NCERS
ON new front
AngIo.French Drive In Picardy
Regarded as Turning Point
Of Years Campaign, If
Not of War.

Paris, Aug. e.-Marshal Foch has
struck the Germans on a new front
and French opinion, lay and profess
sional, is lost in admiration of the
manner in which the blow has been
carried out.
The present maneuver is similar to
the counter-offensive north of the
Marne in that it is directed toward
squeezing two sides of a salient
Ahead of the front which the allies
already have reached lies the Peron-
ne-Roye highway, and they are gain
ing rapidly toward it.
This road has the same importance
to the present battle as the Soissons-
Chateau Thierry road in the battle for
Fere-en-T Tardenois. If the allies reach
it, all the German troops south of a
line through Montdidier, Lassigny
and Noyon would be placed in as
serious predicament as those on the
Marne on July 18. That would be
the first and immediate consequence.
London, Aug. 9-The general feel
ing here is that the importance of the
successful new battle cannot be over
estimated. 1t is regarded as the turn
ing point of the years campaign, and
perhaps even the turning point of the
whole war.
1t Is not too much to say that the
American army has been the chief
factor in this result. The experienced
military critic of the Westminster
Gazette says only what all soldiers
who have seen American mettle put
to the tests are saying, that the Am
erican troops are equal to any in the
world. .

Rheumatism Has Never Been
Cured by Liniments or Lo-

You never knew of Rheumatism
that most painful source of suffering
being cured by liniments, lotions
or other external applications. And
you will never see anything but
temporary relief afforded by such
makeshifts.
But why be satisfied with tempo,
rary relief from the pangs of pain
which are sure to return with in
creased severity, when there is per-
manent relief within your reach?
Science has proven that Rheumatism
Isl a disordered condition of the
blood. How then, can satisfactory
results be expected from any treat

Cleveland, Aug. o.-Single G.. driv-

the opening, Starter Walker had
trouble getting the field away, and
not until the fourteenth score did he
give the word. William, second
choice to Single G., romped off in
front and led into the stretch. There
the favorite, followed by Miss Harris
NJ, came on the outside and drew
on even terms with William. The
latter hung on for short distance
and then broke. Miss Harris M
chased Single G. to the wire, losing
by short half length.
In the second heat Single G. led
all the way. William tried to over
take him at the half mile but was
shaken off. In the stretch Miss Har-
ris M, challenged, making Single G.
step the fast half and final quarter.
Single 6. was the only favorite to
win.
