GERMAN U-B0AT SINKS AUSTRI.
AN HOSPITAL SHIP.

LONDON, August S.-The Ad-
|miralty Monday announced the
torpedoing and SINKING by sub
marine Of the Australian ambulance
transport Warlida Saturday morning.
The vessel was torpedoed when near
a British port while bringing wounded
men to England from France.
The torpedoipg was one Of the most
narrowing disasters in the history of
submarine warfare.
The number of dead is yariously
estimated from 105 to 100 and up
ward, and includes several women
nurses.
The missing American is Corporal
Ralph D.. Buchanan. !,
The Americans aboard included
Lieutenant Harold T. Huber, of Chi
cago; Corporal Ralph D. Buchanan,
and Private Carl Schweiding, Thomas
Stathas, George w. Wenthal, Her.
bert R. Nelson, all of Chicago, and
Captain James Beatty, of Quincy,
Ill. Captain Beatty endeavored to
save a "Waac" nurse from the de-
molished deck of the transport.
There were aboard 80 nurses and
members of the Voluntary Aid De-
partment, and the crew comprised
about 200. all : ''s
More than $50 survivors, brought
to a British port shortly after 6
o'clock, were given first-aid treat
ment, food and clothing. The patients
were placed aboard special trains,
which had been waiting to receive
them, and sent to hospitals in various
parts of the country.
A majority of the survivors had
only the slight protection of their
might clothing and suffered severely
from exposure. All the Americans
were sick cases, and the two officers
were suffering with pneumonia. The
Americans have been sent to hos
pital.
The torpedo struck the afterpart
of the engine room, killing the third
engineer and two other members of
the engine room force. The dynamo
was destroyed, plunging the vessel in,
to darkness.
Just over the dynamo was the
wardroom, which contained more
than 100 patients. Most of these
were killed outright by the explosion
and the others, many of whom had
been freshly injured by the torpedo,
found themselves trapped. It was
impossible for outside aid to reach
them and all except few who jump
ed overheard and were picked up,
persisted. The part of the ship quick
ly settled and water flooded the ward
room, drowning the men Gagged there

GLASSES FOR ALL WHO NEED

Uncle Sam is going to furnish eye
glasses to every soldier in the army
who needs them, free, was the an
nouncement at the Camp Sherman,
O., base hospital, following orders re-
ceived from Washington. This is the
first time the government ever has
provided specs" for the fighters, and
is in line with it's war policy of max
ing every soldier count for as much
as equipment and preparation will
provide.
Formerly there were not many men
in the army with defective vision,
as good eyesight has been one of the
strictest requirements for enlistment.
With the induction of the National
Army, medical officers explained, the
rules were greatly relaxed.

GERMAN SUBMARINES AGAIN
NEAR AMERICAN COAST

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-German
submarines now are operating at two
widely separated points along the At
lantic Seaboard-one in the i'm
portant sea lane off the Virginia
Coast, where the American tank
steamer o. B. Jennings was sunk
Sunday, and the other in Canadian
waters, where fishing smacks and
other unimportant craft have been
destroyed.
Presence of another raider in the
waters off the Middle Atlantic Coast,
where in May and June, upward of
twenty vessels were sunk, became
known Monday when the Navy De-
partment announced the sinking of the
Jennings and the lading of from
thirty to thirty-two members of the
crew at Norfolk by an American pa
troll boat. A second small boat from
the tanker with the Captain and thir-
teen men are missing, but as the
weather has been good, officials con-
fidently hope it will be picked up.
Full details of the sinking of the
Jennings are lacking but from the
fact that the steamer sent a wireless
saying she was being shelled and ask
that the submarine opened fire with
out giving the crew time to take to
the boats, though there was the pos
sibility that the steamer had under
taken to make run for safety. Pa
troll boats answered the radio calls,
but neither the Jennings nor the sub
marine was in sight when they ar
rived Sunday night at the position
given by the steamer. Later, sur
vivors were found.
The submarine, which has been
operating for several days in
Canadian waters, is believed by off,
Gals to have sowed the mines of
foreign manufacture picked up off the
coast of Long Island, after the
armored cruiser San Diego was sunk
near Fire Island, N. Y, June 10.
Belief of officials that one of these
mines caused the destruction of the
cruiser was confirmed Monday by the
report of the Naval Court of INQUIRY,
which expressed the opinion that the
loss of the ship was due to an ex-
ternal explosion and not a mine.
The court found that the San Diego
was steering proper course to mini
ME the submarine and mine dangers
in those waters, with a careful watch
maintained and the ship zigzaggfng a
speed OF 15 knots. Loss of the vessel.
with the death of six men, was not
due to any negligence, or failure to
take proper precautions, or ineffici-
ency OF Captain H. H. Christy, or
any OF the ships personnel.

HORSES STILL FOUND USEFUL IN
WARFARE. -t

The reports that cavalry is being
actively used on both sides in Ger
many's latest and most formidable
attack disposes finally of the asser-
ton, often repeated, that the day of
the horse in warfare had ended. Even
in the transport service the charge
was never true. Gasoline plays a
great part, but the horse and his
gloomy half brother, the mule, can
go where no motor could turn a
wheel. They are indispensable in
war. Past scores of trucks hopelessly
stalled in the mud of Flanders and up
the steep mountains of the Italian
front, horses, mules and donkeys have
plodded, dragging artillery or laden
less things needed to sustain an army.
the final, crushing blow in battle,
one horse to four men was consider
ed necessary; 10 900 are now allotted
to German army corps of Al 900
men.
To provide these the Prussians en-
couraged horse breeding in Austria
Hungary, and in the three months
before the war bought a million
horses, 100000 of them from France.
Great horse hospitals close behind
the Teuton lines save about one-third
of the animals injured or stricken
with disease. In spite of this Ger
many is now able to secure only one
half of the 100000 fresh animals
she requires each year.
During the first two years Of the
war the Allies imported more than
million and a half horses, a million
Of them from the United States.
From the battle of the Marine to Nov
ember, 1917, $4,000 horses were re-
quired to handle the French units !;
the British used half million in their
last offensive.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR WARNS
AGAINST SELLING TURKEYS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. s.
Fred M. Sackett, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Kentucky, states that
he has received instructions from
Washington to discourage in every
way possible the practice of selling
broiler turkeys weighing from two
to four pounds each.
AS the weight of such broilers is
only about 25 per cent of that of
the 'matured birds the Food Admin
istration considers the practice waste
full and is making an appeal to all
hotels, clubs and restaurants to dis
continue serving broiler turkeys.
Further request is made of the deal
ers to refuse to purchase the imma-
ture birds and to urge producers to
allow the turkeys to mature, thereby
increasing the meat.

Washington, Oct. "A desperate

to hoodwink the allies and the German
people into a belief in the democratic
zation of Germany is seen by obsery-
ers here in the appointment of Prince
MaximiIian as imperial chancellor and

that Germany is about to make a new

is noted, however. nothing is said in
the recent announcement of the re-
of power by the military
party, or of making the members of
the cabinet answerable for their con-

will be entirely without power as well
as without portfolio and actual con-
