BREsT, France. Saturday, septem-
| Der delayed In transmission).-On
Thursday morning. September S. the
U. s. 8. Mount Vernon. one of the
finest transports, was torpedoed near
the French coast while homeward
bound. after safely bringing several
thousand troops to France. Owing to
| the GOODNESS and determination Of the
crew the Mount Vernon was brought
to port and is now in dry dock, being
repaired in order that it may soon re-
| sumo its fast trips across the Atlantic.
A letter by Capt. D. E. Dismukes to
the crew best expresses the spirit of
the ship. He said:
Captains Letter.

| when the ship was torpedoed this
heartfelt thanks and appreciation. The

the officers and men carried their du-

''The entire crew acted manfully as

press this admiration for the brave men
of the engineers force, who unhesitat-

the attack. This devotion to duty un-
questionably saved the ship from a Sec

Ship Of Fine Character.

The saving Of the Mount Vernon was
due to the fine organization. princi-
pally developed from the character
of the ship, for ships have definite
characters, reflected from the COM
handing officer and his ideals. The
ideal of the Mount Vernon was to be
prepared for an eventual torpedo at
tack. She always ran with the wa
tertight doors closed, in spite of the
trouble in going up and over them.
The men were trained to reach their
stations Immediately at any cost. and
that is why O'Connor was saved
through the ventilator.
All the officers and men did the
right thing. as though they were ac-
customed to be on torpedoed ship
every day. Admiral Wilson came
aboard the torpedoed vessel and ex-
pressed the sentiment of all when he
said to the chief engineer, Cutterm-
sen. "It was a fine piece Of work."
or according to Ensign j. Ogden:
Tradition kept and deed done WELL
With record fair and clean.
Her tale for future age to tell.
Mount Vernon, transport queen!

Grateful to Shipmates.

I'VE are especially grateful to our
fellow shipmates who made the supreme
sacrifice. nobly giving up their lives in
the performance OF their duty. We ex-
tend to their relatives and friends our
deepest sympathy. The captain is con-
fident that this torpedoing will only
tend to stimulate to further effort the
wonderful spirit which made the crew
of this vessel such an efficient factor in
the victorious progress of the war.

Two Hauled Through ventilator.

Two others beneath Smith stayed
under the water. O'Connor and Pow
ers were hauled by ropes through a
straight venti1ator on the opposite
side Of the ship. Everything was
done to save the others. but they were
caught several depths below and under
gratings covered with water. Surely,
it was finished in q few seconds, since
the intact steamlfne passing through
the flooded compartment caused the
water to heat and boil.
Immediately after the Mount Ver-
non was attacked and the fase was
made known by wireless, tuet Nere
sent to her aid. The flag Acer
placed me aboard the tug p ahich
did fine work. Lieut.. FleetwSoe was
in command of it. That the night
was rough and the water choppy was
shown in the morning by wet bags
shoes and furniture.
The Mount Vernon passed us at
high speed, disdaining help, and we
were ordered to return to port. We
were glad the ship had been saved,
but regretted the lack of an oppor-
tunity to aid. We arrived in port to
see other tugs take the transport
into a dry dock, which was no small
affair, but 1t was accomplished per-
fectly. Vice Admiral Moreau was
present besides a great number OF
French and Americans.

and the victims were spattered with
hot water. One fireman who was
knocked against g bulkhead got oit
In a stunned condition. but does not
know how.
n. Smith Of Cornell, lows. had a
miraculous escape from the freroom.
The rush Of water carried him
through the bunker to ventflator
outlet and up the yentilator until he
was jammed in a bend. His cries
were heard seventy five feet above on
the boat deck. The sailors tried to
lower q line which was stopped by
the bend. Lieut.. p. C. Taisey Of Bos-
ton. with remarkable presence of
mind, told Boilermaker Hill where to
cut into the ventflator below the
end. This was done. the men stand
ing up to their necks in water in the
galley. The ship listed heavily and
the chopping blocks floating free
threatened to crush the ventilator;
They finally cut the ventilator and
hauled out Smith. who was suffering
from burns, but was safe.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
 Dear Sir:
 Advertisements relative to the oil companies doing business in the State of Arizona have been appearing in a great many of the newspapers of the State, the text of which would seem to indicate that the Arizona State Bureau of mines or the University of Arizona has plac- ed it's approval upon some of the oil companies selling stock. This is absolutely untrue and the use of such advertising is positively unathoriZed, and is hereby condemned as being deceptive and misleading.
 The Arizona State Bureau of Mines does not in any way re- commend the purchase of any oil or mining stocks, and the use of part reports is a practise that should be denounced by every person in the state.-
 The Bureau of Mines dis claims any knowledge of wheth CT or not the oil stocks on the market today in this State are good or bad investments.
 would thank you very much if you would call this to the at tention of your readers.
 Yours very truly,
 CHARLES F. WILLS
 Director.
