SUB IS SUNK
BY us. BOAT
NEAR COAST
American Steamer Rams
Undersea Craft-Tank-
er Also Sinks U-Boat.

Washington. Aug. 20.-The
navy department announced
today that the captain OF an
American steamer had re-
ported that his vessel rammed
and probably sank submarine
about $3.50 p. m. on Aug. Il,
near Winter Quarter shOaI. Off
the northern Virginia coast.
The captain stated the submar-
inc was struck on her port
bow. bringing her alongside.
The submarine hailed in
strong German accepts saying
they were friends. the captain
said, but he replied they were
no friends OF his. He kept on
his course. he said. The steam
er is now in port with a badly
damaged bow and a quantity OF
water in her hold. The cap
tain thinks he sank the sub
marine.
In making the announcement
the department did not name the
ship. Because of the American
shippers Circumstantiai report
and the tangible evidence furnished
by the damaged bow, the story is
given credence not accorded most
of the accounts of submarine de-
structiOns reaching the navy.
An Atlantic port, Aug. 20.-A 400
foot enemy submarine was sunk by
the gun crew of a British tanker
which reached here last night. The
n % of tho hattla
er and U-bOat was told today by
John Crosby, chief mate of the for
mer. from his bed in a hospital
where he is being treated for shock
Crosby is said to be in a serious
condition. A remarkable feature Oi
the case is that he felt no i'll eff
fects during the engagement which
took place last Friday and was in
good health until yesterday morn
ing. Then, safely in port and be
yOnd the reach of the undersea@ pi-
rate, he collapsed
"The second mate was on the
bridge about 8 o'clock in the after
noon" Crosby said. There was
never a sign of any craft around
but he caught the streak made by q
LOI peuO COIulHB lO"dTu the ldilheT
He yelled and the ship was thrown
out of her course. The torpedo
missed by a few feet. Everyone was
on deck by that time, but We saw
nothing of the U-boat that started
the thing toward us.
What We did see, was another
torpedo. We zig-zagged, dodgins
the missile just as prettily as could
be. 1t went by US. Then the sub
marine came out of the water with
her guns ready. She was all of 40O
feet long and could make II knots
an hour. Our boat was good for
u knots, but we began to go with
the U-boat coming behind. She op-
ened up with her guns and the
fight started.
Il was acting as spotter for the
gunner, calling the shells as they
kicked up the water about the
U-boat. Our twenty-sixth shot took
the submarine right. She did not
blow up with a bang. What she did
was to swing around slowly and
drift broadside on. We did not
slow down but made for port as
swiftly as we could travel. I am
sure our shot destroyed the enemy

LudendOrff Made Helpless.

The attacks have made it impOs-
sible for General Ludendorff to re-
group his troops. They have oblig-
ed him to maintain more than one
hundred and forty divisions in the
first line which have to be relieved
constantly. At several points it has
been necessary for him to increase
the density of the first line. The
army of General Won Eben, which
holds the line from Carlepont to
Missy -Sur-Aisne, had only 10 divi-
sions in the first line on Aug Is.
The recent French operations on
that front, II is believed here, will
make it necessary for General Won
Boehn to send reinforCements

WE'RE ALL IDEALISTS

The mistakenly practical man is an unconscious
idealist. His ideal is action.
The sternest iconoclast is an idealist. He wants
to realize simplicity.
Ideals impractical in one stage of human devel-
opment become the realizations of later genera
tons.
Ideals are the oars of Progress.
The higher the ideal the nobler the character
of the individual can become
Sneers at idealists and idealism are wasted.
They are too often self condemnations.
The Great War was clash of ideals as truly
as it was conflict of men.
The higher ideals won. They always win.
Ideals create enthusiasm Thrice armed is he
who has enthusiasm.
