U-BoAT TORPEDOEs VESSEL
Belfast Ship Does Not Sink and Tugs
Tow 1t to Port.

London, June 10.-A Belfast steam
ship, torpeaoed by German subma-
rine while bound from England, has
reached an Irish port, badly damaged.
Three of the crew were killed by the
explosion Of The torpedo. No fewer
than four torDedocs were discharged
bv the submarine. The. vessel was
Unanswered so adroitly. however, that
three of them missed their mark.
The attack was made at night. At
daybreak the vessel was still afoat'
but well down at the head. The crew
which had abandoned the ship, went
back on board, although the forward
deck was awash, determined to take
her to port. The men succeeded in
getting the disabled wireless plant in
to operation again, and flashed an ur-
rent call for assistance. They were
powcrless, as the ship was unmanage-
able, and would have been easy prey
for a submarine If one had been IN
the vicinity. Two tugs came up and
lowed the fine steamship safely to
port.
The submarine, which was faster
than the steamship, ran ahead of her
in the darkness and lay in wait until
she came alongside. The explosion of
the torpedo, which was fired at close
ranage, tore great hole in the star
board side. The steamship immediate
X began to fill. The ffty-seven sur
viving members of the crew took tc
the beats. The three men killed were
firemen.

Texas.
The potato crop Of Houston and
Wharton counties, Texas, has been
saved through the aid of the business
men in local towns. When it was
realized. that the potato crop would
be lost unless the farmers received
help, the State extension director, CO,
operating with the farm-help special
list of the Department of Agriculture,
explained the situation to the bust
ness men, who closed their offices and
stores, went to the farms and worked
with the potato growers in harvesting
their crop.
Such cooperation is meaning much
not only for the increasing of the
food supply of the nation but is break
ing down the barrier that in many
cases has existed between town and
country, according to the U. S. De-
uartment of Agriculture. Business
men ard farmers are working hand III

ply and to further the nations great
cause. Other communities are plan
