HAS HUGE CARGO OF DEATH
Freiohter Develops Engine Trouble
and Falls Behind convoy-Sub-

BY FRAZIER HUNT
On the Chicago Tribune.)

An American Naval Base In France.
"A lad from the U. S. S.. Destroyer
$50 had just finished narrating how
close they had come to getting a sub
marine on the last trip when they had
brought in big convoy of troopers.
"SOme boat she is," he remarked
offhand. eve did seven thousand
knots last month and in three sub
fights. Say, what was those funny
steel drums you had piled on the deck
of your old cargo ship when you come
In yesterday"
A lad from the Atlantic freight ferry
boat turned to the destroyer COB.
"Those steel drums you asked about
didn't have nothing at all in them ex-
cept about a million gallons Of the
most dangerous poison gas ever made
Can you imagine what would happen
If torpedo or even a shell had hit
one of those tanks?"
This ship, which we shall call the
Torrance, left New York as part of a
convoy of 10 stores ships.
Cargo of Death.
On this trip it was carrying several
thousand steel drums of poison gas
that the army needed badly. 1t was
a dangerous cargo. Any explosion on
board would tear open these drums of
concentrated gas and in ten seconds
choke the crew to death. The only
hope would be to use respirators, so
hundred gas masks were borrowed
from the army and the executive Off
Ger of the ship called all hands for in
structions three times q day.
The first ten days of the trip were
uneventful. Then the Terrance's en-
gines began acting badly. 1t could not
make the required ten knots and slow
ly it fell behind. There were not suffi-
Client conveying destrOyers to have one
remain Behind, so all that stood be-
tween the Terrance's drums of death
and German submarine was the fore
and aft guns.
Finally, at six o'clock one evening,
the gas mask drill just had ended
when the lookout in the crows nest
shouted down that submarine was
coming to the surface on the port side,
some 5000 yards astern. And here was
the Torrance with crippled engines
hobbling along six or seven knots an
hour, with the convoy 20 miles ahead.
"Open fire with the stern gun. Call
general quarters. Send S. o. S. to the
convoy. Send word to the chief en-
gineer," We're four orders the skipper
on tho hridOe paVp FIRST
Through his binoculars he could see
the submarine coming to the surface.
Even now the Terrance's stern gun
was peppering away shots, but falling
short of the mark by 1900 yards.

rines coming tower opened and men

The oculist Interrupted to contrib
ute his share to the sOciability:
Nothing to worry over. The eyes
always need stronger glasses as one

For the barest flash the woman
had the appearance of one who has
received an unexpected shock. Then
she rallied and took another turn:
"Of course, never thought of that.
I ought to realize that am getting old,
but, somehow, feel so yOung-inside."

CHARGES DEATH TO SAVE MEN
American Staff officer Falls MortaIry
Wounded in Gallant Action in
Lorraine.

With the American Army in Lor-
raine.-The fighting on the new Amer
ican front in Lorraine was featured by
the gallant action of an American
staff officer.
When the officer saw there was
danger of part of his advancing forces
being outtlanked by German machine
gunners he personally led his men in a
charge against the guns.
He captured one gun himself and
his men took the others. The officer
WAS wounded, probably mortally.
The officers troops belonged to the
division operating ON the eastern wing
of the American offensive sector. They
had taken the village of Norroy and
were pressing onward in the face of
opposition from machine gun nests.
The irregular advance suddenly ex-
posed one unit to d flanking fire and
the officer forgot that he as stan
officer was supposed to stay away from
the fghting and rushed in.

Government Report Shows Re-
markabIe Progress Made.
One Hundred and Ninety American
Firms Now Make Dyes
and Drugs.

Washington.-The remarkable sue
cess of the American chemists and
chemical manufacturers in developing
the dyestuffs industry, when the sup
plies of dyes from Germany were cut
off, is strikingly shown in a report
Just issued by the United States tariff
commission entitled, Census of Dyes
and Coal-Tar Chemicals, 1917"
At the outbreak of the European
war Germany dominated the worlds
trade in dyes and drugs derived from
coal-tar. Before the war, seven Amer
lean firms manufactured dyes from
imported German materials. In 1917,
100 American concerns were engaged
In the manufacture of dyes, drugs and
other chemicals derived from cOal-tar,
and of this number, 81 firms produced
coal-tar dyes from American materials
which were approximately equivalent
In total weight to the annual imports
before the war. The total output of
the 100 firms, exclusive of those en-
gagged In the manufacture of explo-
sives and synthetic resins, was over
100000 pounds with a value Of
about $690O0,OO0.
Large amounts of the staple dyes
for which there is great demand are
now being manufactured in the United
States A few of the important dyes,
such as the vat dyes derived from aliz-
arin, anthracene, and carbazol, are
still not made. The needs of the wool
industry are being more satisfactorily
met than the needs of the cotton in
dustry.
The report gives in detail the names
of the manufacturers of each dye or
other product and the quantity and
value of each produced, except in
cases where the number of producers
is so small that the operations of in

RACE WITH U-BOAT

crawled out and uncovered the subma-
rine's two guns. In another minute the
first shell came whining toward the
Torrance. 1t, too, fell away short.
Call for Help.
In the radio room the operator was
pounding out the call for help, and
now came the answer that the destroy
ers were coming to aid. Down below
the whole engine force was working
madly. Suddenly a miracle happened
and the starboard engines began sup
plying power to the propeller. From
bare seven knots, the ship jumped
to ten-then eleven, twelve.
Meantime on the bridge the officers
with gas masks strapped at alert po-
sltlon were getting the thrill Of their
whole life as the old boat picked up
speed. Sub shells now were falling
within 300 yards of the ship.
With the Terrance's new speed the
sub gained slowly, but the skipper
and officers knew it's guns would out
range their own and soon find mark.
1t was a great race with life or death
for the goal.

teriOrating. There had been day after
day Of rain during the retreat, and it
was believed possible that in the with
drawal the Germans had not been able
to take the usual precautions against
dampness, the result being that many
projectiles from some of the big guns
failed to do anything more than strike
the earth with thud.
One officer suggested that possibly
the Germans had been firing old shells
rather than no shells at all, the Off
GERS realizing that only few of them
were exploding, but preferring to keep
the big guns pounding away merely in
an effort to keep up the morale of the
men putting up the rear-guard fight.
