''SURE SHOT" HILL
 SAW SUB SINK

Oren F. Hill, attached to the Hos- pital Trains in France with the Am erican Expeditionary Forces, writing to Mrs. Hill here says; that seeing the way the Americans pot" the sub- marines reminds him of the day last fall here when he shot three deer in one day. He writes:
 just found out that I could tell you of little of our trip overseas. The trip was a rather eventful one es- pecially the last day or two out when we were attacked by two Subs" and, after exchanging few torpedoes and shots, one of them was blown to pieces few yards off the bow of our ship; the other one was captured by part of our convoy and lowed to a Euro pean port. So you see the Subs" are really failure when it comes to trying to stop the shipment of troops and supplies, and I do not believe we will have to consider them as being serious in warfare hereafter. It sure was exciting sport while 1t lasted Our boats and Gunners reminded me of Sure Shot" Hill bringing down a big Kodiak bear or his limit of deer for day it was SO easy.
