NOVEL PART IN
DURAzz0 RAID
Chaser Squadron Effectively
Acts as Screen Around Biq
Ships Engaged in Bom-
bardment.

London, Oct. 5.-A contingent OF
y American submarine chasers
played a brilliant and novel part
in the Durazzo engagement. This
chaser squadron effectively acted as
a screen around the big ships en-
gagged in the bombardment to pro-
tect them against submarines. The
Americans were under a heavy fire,
but had no casualties. Captain G. P.
Nelson and Lieutenant p. H. Bas-
tedo commanded the squadron. A
large percentage of the officers and
men were of the naval reserve and
reports of the operation praise their
work highly.
The Americans definitely sank
one submarine and damaged and
probably destroyed another.
After the engagement they es-
corted a British cruiser which had
been hit by torpedo safely to the
base from which the expedition
started. An enemy hospital ship
was also taken in charge for exam
nation.
Throughout the bombardment
and when the forces were approach
ing the harbor, the chasers circled
swiftly around the big ships. A re-
port received here says the men had
good time and were evidently pleas
ed with the success of the first
achievement of this character the
chasers had attempted to work.
Heretofore they have been patrol
ling, dropping depth charges and
firing on enemy submarines.

Overcoats Delivered
To American Troops
In Front Trenches

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 5.-The Am
erican troops engaged in today's
attack were we'll looked after by the
American commissariat. The men
in the front trenches in the early
morning shivered under the penetra-
ton of the chill in the misty air but
the directing force of the rapidly
growing American fighting machine
had not forgotten the conditions
likely to prevail and almost every
man had been supplied with warm
clothing. To the great majority OF
the men sleeveless leather coats had
been issued, while trucks moving
from the rear bore ton upon ton OF
overcoats.
Moving over every road, were
the commissary trucks and movable
kitchens. The earlier lessons had
been we'll learned and the men in
the trenches and the field we're not
going hungry. Comparatively few
of them had occasion to resort to
their iron rations.'S They were
served with hot coffee and some
sort of substantial cooked food.
These were supplemented by wagon
loads of chocolate of the sort that
comes in little rectangular cakes
wrapped in paper.
The routes Of the Americans, both
in the trenches and the fields over
which they passed, are marked by
the small paper wrappers the men
had thrown away.

Omaha Soldier Writes
Of St. Louis Reception
To Big Military Band

Sergeant J. A. Ratchford, in
letter to his mother, Mrs. F. F.
Ratchford of CAS- Lincoln Boule-

are among the most patriotic in the

musician in band of forty pieces

to St. Louis in the interest OF the
Liberty loan.
Our line of march," says the
writer, was about seven miles long.
People were lined upon the sidewalk
thick as flies every foot of the way.
The cheering was frantic. The peo-
pie reached out to grab Our arms

had heard a military band like ours"

mainder came to England
July was big month with $4,000

account The largest single convoy

States last month numbered 3ll0S

2S,S75.
The figures help to emphasize
what is being realized more fully
here and doubtlessly in Germany:
also the enormous contribution AM
erica is making to the common cause
of the allies. They also bring out
the strength of the British naval
arm and the failure of the German
submarine to prevent the arrival OF

Ram to the first three soldiers OF
the American army who fell in ac-
ton, November 3, 1917, a monu-
ment consisting of tall granite
column designed by Louis Major
ellie, will be erected at Bathelemont,
located in the sector where the
heroes fell. One side of the shaft
will be engraved with the following
inscription:
Sons of their great and glorious
country, they fought for right, for
liberty and civilization against Ger
man imperialism, the scourge of the
human race. They died on the field
of honor"
On another side will be inscribed
the names of the heroes as follows:
Corporal ]. B. Gresham, Evans
vile.
Private Thomas P. Enright,
Pittsburgh.
Private Merle Hay. Glidden."
The cross Of Lorraine is sculp-
tured on another side. 1t is encir
cled in a symbolical wreath. The
cross bears the inscription:
"Franco-United States, 1917; from
Lorraine to the United States"
Bathelemont was in the direct line
of fire in the operation in which the
three Americans participated. 1t has
not been thought appropriate to
erect the column on the exact spot
where the heroes fell. The work of
providing the recognition was ST.
pervised by NJ. Mirman, project of
the department Meurthe-et-Moselle.
where Bethelemont is located.
A reproduction Of the monument
will be placed in Nancy and a fac
simile sent to William G.. Sharp, the

Bricklayers Will Follow Request

Bricklayers in this community
have periodically announced their
decision to remain on the job, to
give their unceasing efforts toward

ferences that may arise on account
OF wages to be settled by the war

This action was taken yesterday

was made to the men by f. l.
Seicks, representative of the United
States department of labor, who
had just arrived in an effort to
bring about a more clear under
standing of government needs, and
what is depending on the efforts of
the workers.
1t is understood that a matter of
but Ga cents per hour has been
standing between the men and the
contractors. This matter is to be
placed entirely in the hands of the
war labor board for settlement, and
in the meantime the men will be
