The protecting destroyers got into action quickly on two occasions last Sunday, but Father Wareing did not know whether any submarine had been sunk.
 To the Associated Press Father Wareing, who had a trying experi- ence following the torpedoing of the Britt1h steamer Laconia in February, 1917, said:
 Soon after we reached the danger zone our convoy was attacked by Ger man submarines and for a few min utes I thought was in for another experience of the same kind as l had on the Laconia- The exact number of the enemy U-boats was not deter mined, but at least two were seen.
 I've had a lively escort of British destroyers however, and they were on the trail of the periscope like flash. Nuns. and depth bombs began popping like giant frecrackers. Fifteen depth bombs were dropped into the nest of German submarines Whether any submarine was sunk I cannot sayfor we were on a fast ship and enveloped in smoke. but I know we did not lose a single ship. Our convoy carried a large number of American troops-l cannot tell you how many"
 After the sinking of the Daconia on Feb. 26, 1917, the Rev. Father Ware ing was in the same lifeboat with Mrs. Mary F. Hoy of Chicago and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth Hoy. Mrs sHoyand her daughter both died of ex- posture and were buried at sea.

the young man in the other, bur too
far away to talk to the young woman.
The couple looked at each oGner with
longing eyes as z tney wished to sit

Sble for one person to talk to another
any distance away. Mr.. Barrett mo-

The young man gladly accepted the

the two were seated together and en-
joying each others talk. The car
stopped at the next crossing and Mr..
