the latest cruise as we went aboard to- day. They had brought in six big trans- ports, including three former German liners. Already the soldiers were march ing to camp, and on board the destroyers things were being made ship shape for the brief stay in port and then for the next adventure out beyond the capes. for with submarines off the port there is ceaseless vigilance, with always the chance of something happening, and everyone on the tip-toe of expectation
 The reports brought back of the last cruise were of the best It had been comparatively quiet and the transports had been brought through without sign of submarine In fact, it was so prom ising the previous Sunday that the com mander of the fleet remarked they were going to have a quiet day.
 But at in the morning there was an alarm, with all the gun and torpedo crews springing to their posts, and after tha t four successive alarms through this quiet day, though none of the alarms developed an actual attack. It showed, however. the steady tension even when conditions looked best, for it was known that hos tile craft had been lurking off the beach rocks near the mouth of the harbor, and one of our big repair ships had been at tackled as it came in few weeks ago.
 on the big destroyers the crew is all ways on watch during a convoy. There are lopkouts in the crows nest hipb m on the foremast, far forward at the tin or the bow, at port and starboard, for ward and aft. Besides these there is the gun crew watch, the depth charge watch.

David MacTaggart, a farmer. and his wife and son. MacTaggart, who is the chief of the islands volunteer coast lifeguard, led the rescue parties when the survivors began to come ashore. Standing up to his armpitS in the dan gerous surf, he pulled out four drown ing men, three of whom were soldiers and the other a member of the crew. All of these, with four other survivors, were taken by MacTaggart's young son to the familys home at Kilchiaran several miles distant, where they were taken care of until a British destroy CT took them to Londonderry
 Another lifesaver Was Andrew Stew enson, a seaman who holds a Carnegie medal for heroism.
 Others on the army list are Mrs. Sarah Hyland, Alex MacMillan, Miss Jeanie Killen, Capt. Rob Lawson, Miss Mary N. Clarke, Miss Flora MacAlpin, Miss Euphemie Crrrie, Donald Gillespie, Hector Macfadgen, Miss Kate Clark, Ronald McGash and Miss Mary Mac Intyre.
 Many of these already had earned American gratitude by their 1abors in connection with the ruscania disaster.
 Colonel Turnbull, head of the con stabulary of Argyll, is warmly praised by the army officers for his able ad- ministration of the work of recovering bodies. Sergeant of Police Malcolm MacNeil, who led the Tuscania rescue work, is also commended for his tire less labors in recovering the Otranto bodies.

RED CROSS MUST CONTINUE

The following message has been tele- graphed by the war council of the Ameri- can Red Cross to every division head quarters to be read in each one of the 3s57 chapters:
 "On February 10 last year, nearly six weeks before the United States declared war, national Red Cross headquarters ad- vised it's chapters to prepare for war. That which has followed in the record of the Red Cross in helping to win this war and to relieve the suffering grow ing out of it, constitutes something of which every American citizen has a right worker must feel a sense of gratitude in having had a share in it all.
 The moment is now come to prepare for peace. Actual peace may come at any moment; it may be deferred for sometime. Until peace is really here there can be no relaxation in any Red Cross effort incident to active hostilities
 But even with peace, let no one SUD- pose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded Owing to the shortage in shipping, it may take year
 
 France. But whatever the time, our pro- tecting arms must be about them and tleir families over the whole period which must elapse before the normal life of peace can be resumed.
 Our soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the commander -in-chef tells them there is no more work for them to do in the war. Let every Red Cross mem- her and worker-and this means both men and women-show our returning sol- dfers and sailors that to care for their health, welfare and happiness we are enlisted for no less period than they are.
 "The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery such as the world has never seen before, especially in the many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as tneIr agent in repairing broken spirits and broken bodies Peace terms and peace conditions will determine how we may best minister to the vast stricken areas which have been narrowed by war; and for this great act of mercy the heart and spirit of the American people must con- tinue to be mobihzed through the Amer ican Red Cross.
 cordingly ask each member of our splen- did body of workers throughout the land to bear in mind the solemn obligation which rests upon each one to carry on.' We cannot abate one instant in our ef- forts or ins our spirits. There will be abundance of work to do, and specific

HEROIC DEEDS ON /. ISLAND OF |SLAY ID
 SAVE AMERICANS
Women Who Nursed Survi- vors Regarded by the Men as Second
 Mothers"

h Bridgend, Island of Islay Scotland October 12.-(Correspondence of the As
 sociated Press. )-There were tears in the eyes of five American soldiers saved
 from the wrecked troopship otranto when they said good-by today to the good people of the little hamlet of Kilchoman. They had just attended a simple Sabbath service especially held for them by their friend, the padre, the Rev. Donald Grant, in the cottage of the village schoolmistress, Mrs, Isa- belle MacIntyre, who had personally < cared for seven of the 20 survivors who reached the island, and who, with Mrs. Grant, the padres wife, were regarded by the men as second mothers.
 One of the five. Private Earl Carver of Cincinnati owed his life to Mrs. Grant, who worked for five hours over him before he revived, and who was fighting to save Private William Cooney
 of Augusta, Ga, critically i'll with pneumonia. For years Mrs Grant was the assistant matron of a big hospital in Glasgow and pr. Hugh Mcintyre of Bridgend, who treated all the Otranto survivors, regards her as one of the most skillful nurses in Scotland.
 Big Sergt. c. A. Mcdonald of Gales burg, H., was visibly affected over the handshaking, and he said to the Asso- ciated Press representative as they drove away to Bridgend That's almost as bad as it was to leave home"
 But neither Mcdonald nor any of his companions realized the extent of the sacrifices those two women had made for the American boys, or that of other of the islanders, including a warm hearted shepherd named McPhee, whose two sons, Ronald and John, rescued five men and took four of them to their home In order to provide for their guests the Grants, Mrs. Mcintyre and the McPhees not only gave up their own needed clothing, but cheerfully used every scrap of food they had to supply the hungry survivors with meals, and were themselves literally starving when American Red Cross of- ficers by accident discovered the sit- uation and drove 20 miles to a lcoun- try store to buy provisions to replen- ish the larders of the Good Samaritans.
 One of the Red Cross officers, in recounting to the correspondent the relief work of the islanders, concluded by saying: "The people of the United States owe 2 debt or gratitude to the people of this little island that can never be repaid" The Otranto was sunk in collision with the steamship Kashmir off the ScottIsn coast with loss of 357 American soldiers.
 United States army officers have been so greatly impressed by the kindness and hospitality of the islanders that they made a special request of the As sociated Press to carry list of the names of those whose service was par ticularly notable. From the laird of Islay. Hugh Morrison, and his wife, Lady Mary, down to the humblest peas ant, the islanders have done everything in their power to comfort the survivors and help to recover the dead.
 In addition to those already named the army officers honor list includes

HUNS LIVED HIGH
 ON FRENCH WINES

With the American Forces in France September so-(correspendence of the Associated Press) )-Officers of the German army who occupied Thiau- court until they were driven out by the Americans in the smashing of the St. Mihiel salient enlivened their stay in the little French village by consum- ing large quantities of French wines which they confiscated from the eel lars of the French proprietors. From the wine cellar of one Frenchman alone the Germans took 5000 bottles of champagne, 10000 quarts of red wines in bottles, and drained 30 enormous casks each containing more than 5000 quarts of various kinds of wine. Tho advance guard of the Germans helped themselves literally to the wine. Later the greater part of it was shipped back to Germany as loot of the Ger man army.
 None of the civilians of Thiaucourt was ever searched for valuables and owing to this fact all of those who remained in Thiaucourt when the Americans entered the village still had the jewelry and other articles of gold and silver. Many of the women had sewed material over the French gold pieces and wore them upon thelr outer clothing as buttons,
 Many of the keepsakes and pieces of fowelry and French gold coins were offered to the Americans by the vil- 'agers as souvenirs, but the Ameri- cans refused to accept them.
 The villagers said that two years ago the Germans stripped the churches of Thiaucourt of their bells and even took the metal of the pip organs, all of which was shipped to Germany to be turned into material~for war. Tho electric light plant likewise was dis mantled of its machinery, and every bit of metal obtainable was sent back as fast as it could be assembled.

LABORATORIES IN FRANCE KEEP BUSY
Interesting Tests Made of Cause of Shock Follow
 ing Shell Wounds

American Army Laboratory, France, october 7.-(Correspondence of the As- sociated Press )-The mysterious col lapse, like that of approaching death, which is suffered by soldiers suffer- ing extreme shock from shell wounds is being investigated here. A noted research scientist from Harvard is con ducting the incNiry.
 The first and natural conclusion was that the collapse was due to the shock to the nerves. But the experiments now going on here do not appear to bear out that conclusion. On the contrary, animals badly wounded in the fore- leg or thigh showed the full effect of shock until the wounded member had a tourniquet bound tightly around the limb just above the wound. This cut off the flow of blood from the wounded part to the rest of the body. Follow ing this the shock effect immediately subsided, as shown by the delicate in- struments which recorded each seconds pulsations. And the shock effect rose again immediately when the band was loosened
 From this the research was gradually making clear that the mysterious shock effect had a direct physical connection with the flow of blood from the wound ed part, and was not an effect of the nerves.
 The two animals on which this ex- perimental research was being conduct ed were under the effect of ether, so there was no pain.
 In the operation room here autopsies and examinations are being made of skintissues and organs affected by gas attacks. Some of these attacks had oc- cured only eight days before so that the parts showed the full effect of this destructive agency.
 In the lecture room a demonstration was given on spinal meningitis.
 ""At one time there were more deaths in the British army from that cause than from the fighting" said the escort, "and as the disease can do no more damage. at times than the Boche it is quite essential to trace its causes and deal with it before it gets under way"
 The big central laboratory was for merly one of the large Pasteur institu tions of central France, but now it has been turned over to the Americans, with extensive grounds where number of temporary buildings are going up for the increasing work.
 One of the buildings has the trans portable field labora tories, with com plete sets of steam and hot air steril- izers, and the whole range of labora- tory equipment, ready to be set up near the front One hundred of these field sets have already been sent out.
 Altogether, the American laboratory has quickly become one of thei important institutions of the American expedi- tionary forces. extending it's research to every branch of military surgery and medicine, and taking a very practical part in the work at the front with it's corps of specialists ready to cope with every new phase of disease, wound or epidemic.

Judging from the countless prepara- ualiy being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty. there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness.
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods Physicians claim there lis nothing that will supply this deficiency so we'll as the organic .phos- phate known among druggists as bitro, is sold by Letaws Pharmacy, City Hall building, and all good druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back.
