ALL j. 5. TROOPS
SAVED FROM SHIP
T0RPED0ED BYSUB
White Star Liner Persic Attacked
Near England.
$500 YANKS WERE ON BOARD
Men Are Taken Off Sinking Transport
by American and British Destroy
ers-Vessel lowed to Port
and Beached.

London, Sept. 13.-An American
troopshfp with $500 men on board has
ben torpedoed. All hands were saved.
The ship was beached.
(The United States navy depart
ment announced that the vessel was
the White Star liner Persic of 1908
tOns.)
In order to save time, instead of
launching the boats the men clambered
down ropes to destroyers which sur
rounded the stricken vessel. The troop
ship was one of large convoy APP
preaching the English coast and was
about 200 miles out. The torpedoing
took place Friday at p. m.
There was no sign of panic on board.
Many of the troops were from Chicago
and Cleveland. No one was injured.
Several soldiers told the correspond
ent that they saw the submarine forced
clear out of the water after a depth
bomb exploded. 1t then disappeared.
In Rest Camp in England.
An Inland Rest Camp in England,
Sept. 12.-The majority of the $500
American soldiers from the trOopship,
which was tOrpedOed off the English
coast, but was not sunk, and upon
which there were no casualties, have
arrived here none the worse for their
thrilling experience.
To the surprise of most of the SOL
diers, the troopship did not sink. Some
aeans apparently were found to check
the thrush of water and she got near
enough to the shore to be beached. It
is hoped that the vessel ultimately
can be salvaged.
Lewis Aids Wounded.
Paris, Sept. Ex-senator Lewis of
Illinois, who was among the passen-
gers on the American transport Mount
Vernon, all of whom were saved, is
suffering from a chill resulting from
exposure while carrying wounded men
from their hunks. Congressman
Thomas D. Schall and Attorney John
Cross of Providence, r. l., were among
those on board. Mrs. Schall, the wife
of the blind representative from Min
nesota, led her husband up on deck
and across the ship to their lifeboat
Both were calm and acted as though
there was no peril.

London, Sept 73.-British troops
captured the towns of Vermand. Atil-
ly and Vendelles, all on the front
northwest of st. Quentin, Field Mar
shall Haig announces in his official re-

whole of the village of HavrincOurt
except the northeastern edge. The
British advanced for a distance OF
one-half miles.
British forces have effected a cross
ing of the Canal du Nord to the north
west of the town of Havrincourt, Field
Marshal Haig announced in his official
report. The canal line here forms the
main defense of Cambria on the south
west.
A short distance to the north the
British have pushed to the westerly
banks of the canal, east and north of
Moeuvres, and established themselves
there.
In their advance toward st. Quen-
tin the British have progressed as far
as the western outskirts of Holnen
wood, southeast of Attilly.
The Germans offered stiff opposition
in the Havrincourt and Moeuvres sec
tors, which the British overcame.
According to Dutch frontier mes
sages, the Germans are preparing to
inundate the region of the River
Aisne northeast Of Refms, says a dis
patch from Amsterdam to the Central
News agency. At some places dams
have been constructed in the river
which can be closed on short notice
and special bridges have been built.
London, Sept. list. Quentin, La
Fere and the town of st. Gobain, To-
Gated on the wooded massif of the
same name, three vital points in the
enemy's great defense system, all are
under intense shell fire and in peril of
capture.

imperial German chancellor, is con-
WINGED that peace is nearer than is
generally supposed, according to an
address made by the chancellor before

Most of those found available for

to indicate that the proportion of

entirely negligible. The estimate was
based upon totals of the registration

u. S. TO FIX COTTON PRICE
President Will Act After Committee
investigates the General
Situation.

Washington, Sept. 10. = President
Wilson announced that fair price for
raw cotton will be fixed if that should
be deemed necessary after the commit

tries board has completed its inquiry
into the general cotton situation.
During the investigation separate
committee Of three, soon to be named,
will buy cotton for use of the United
States government and the allies at
prices to be approved by the president.
Since most of the cotton of the coun-
try is required for war uses, this gov
eminent buying is expected to stabilize
prices.
