U. S. SHIP TORPEDOED;
ALL SOLDIERS SAVED
TROOP SHIP BEARING $500 FIGHT
ERs LAes BACK OF CONVOY
AND GETS HIT.
MEN CHAMBER DOWN ROPES
Steamer 5eaehed and May Be Rebuilt
BY AIlles--Destroyers With Depth
Bombs Sink the Enemy
Submarine.

London.-A troop ship with $500
American soldiers on board has been
torpedoed, and the submarine which
fired the torpedo against the ship is
believed to have been destroyed with
all hands. All on board the troop ship
were saved, and the transport, which
did not sink. was successfully beached,
and 1t is believed can later be sal
vaged.
The troop ship was member Of a
large convoy approaching the English
coast. The vessel was torpedoed 200
miles from shore.
In order to save time, instead Of
launching the boats, the men clam
bered down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
Soldiers told the Associated Press
that they saw the German submarine
lifted clear out Of the water after one
Of the depth bombs dropped by aven-
ing destroyers exploded and then en-
tirely disappear.
Something had gone wrong with the
troop ships engines, which compelled
her for a time to lag behind the rest
of the convoy, but the trouble had been
fixed up and she was fast catching up
with the other transports when tor
pedo hit forward of engine room.
The vessel at once began to sink by
the bow. Many of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths. They did not
wait to dress but made for the deck
with what little clothing they could
hastily lay their hands on.
To the surprise of most of the SOL
diers the troop ship did not sink, Some
means apparently were found to check
the thrush Of water and she got near
enough to the shore to be beached.
The transfer of the American sol.
diers from the stricken vessel to eS'
corting British and American torpedo
boat destroyers was quickly made
without injury to any one.
There was no sign Of panic on board
and the admirable behavior of the men
was especially gratifying to the Off
GERS. Many Of the troops came from
Chicago and Cleveland, and large pei
centage of them were factory hands CT
foreign extraction.

WHAT IS VACHER-BALM?

Some years ago a vegetable wax
was discovered that has the power to.
quiet nerves, and thus stop infamma-
ton, without injury; this we combine
with extracts that destroy disease
germs and prevent infection. We
make this compound into a salve, with
the result that we have a local REM
edy that promptly relieves practically
all kinds of pains, such as Rheuma-
tlsm, Neuralgia. Toothache, Earaches
Sprains, Burns, Boils, etc.
This salve is obviously also the best
thing for Catarrh and Group; in fact
its quick action in the latter danger
GUS complaint is simply Marvellous
and being harmless, it can be used in
ternally for Collie, etc.
OF course the success of Vacher-
Balm caused many limitations to APP
pear so be sure you get the genuine
which has the signature of E. w.
VACHER on every package. 1t is put
up in 25c and SOC jars and 25c tubes.
If you have never tried Vacher-Balm
write to Z. w. Vacher, New Orleans,
La, for a Free Sample. No family
should be without this remarkable rem
edy; it saves so much suffering.
II your druggist will not get Vacher-
Balm for you, we will supply you d.
rect, and give you the agency. We
supply our agents with Free Samples
that sell the Jars or tubes without any
