ST. PatrIcks Day.
There's a breath Of green in The city
street,
A thrill of verdure about to wake
In blown from many a retreat
OF verdant valley and limpfd lake.
But we, heart troubled for old times
sake,
Think wistful thoughts at our work or
play,
OF the springs long gone in the dead
years wake,
AS the bands go by on St Patrick's
day.
Leagues of ocrean are washing be-
tween
This stranger city, SO far away.
And the sad old mother whose emer-
aid green
We proudly wear on our hearts today;
But though honor and service be
By others claimed, and that debt we
pay,
Ireland's Irish alone are we
AS the bands go by on st. Patricks
day. Vii

Chief Quartermaster Happily Gives His Version of Hun Sub Attack on American Troop Ship
CRy Review Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. Oct 11.-Ten off cers and 102 enlisted men were lost, two officers were taken prisoners and three officers and five enlisted men were saved in the sinking of the Amer ican steamer Tieonderoga by an en emy submarine in mid-Ocean Septem Der 30, the navy department tonight announced. A number of enlisted men of the army were aboard the yes sel. No announcement has been made as to losses among the soldiers. The Ticonderoga. formerly the German steamer Camilla Rickmers, was east bound and at the time of the sinking had dropped behind her convoy be- cause of engine trouble. The vessel was tOrpedOed without warning and shelled afRer a white blanket was hcisted to the mast.
 The navy department tonight made public the following account of the sinking of the ship, given in the testi- mOny of Chief Quartermaster George S. Happily. who reported at the de- partment today:
 'The attack occurred at 5:20 a. m.. September 30. The weather was clear. but overcast. the sea moderate. The TicOnderOga was ten or fiften miles behind the convoy, having been unable to keep up.
 "Tapply said he was in his bunk when general alarm sounded at 5:20 a. m. and when he reached the bridge it was all afire At this time the whistle blew for abandon ship and he helped the paymaster bring aft the captain. who was badly wounded He helped lower the forward boat on the port side and two after boats The wireless had been carried away, so no messages could be sent out. The guns were firing all this time When the submarine was sighted it was about 200 yards off the port bow. The U-boat's first two shots hit the bridge, setting it afire and its third shot car. Tied away one of the Ticonderoga's guns.
 ''The submarine submerged for twenty minutes and re-appeared about two miles off the starboard quarter. when it started to shell the vessel with shrapnel. It next fired a tor pedo, which struck amidships. burst ing the steam pipes. The ship then started to settle. The German marks was effective. and most of. the life boats were full of holes from At about 7:15 the captain, with IA soldiers was put in the last boat on the vessel and the boat was lowered away.

Three hundred and one men were taken to Belfast by the British de- stroyer Mounsey, the only vessel which made an attempt at rescue in the terrific gale, when the Kashmir, another vessel in the convoy with the Otranto, rammed the Otranto amidships
 Seventeen men were picked up alive on the Scottish coast.
 Of the 699 American soldiers on board the Otranto, BIO were landed. Seventeen were rescued alive at Islay, leaving 372 unaccounted for.
 The Otranto and the other vessels of the convoy were batrisng with the heavy seas and high winds Sunday morning. The storm was so severe and the visibility so bad that the Kashmir, a former Peninsular & Oriental liner, crashed into the Otranto squarely amlosnIps.
 The Kashmir backed away badly damaged, but was able to make port
 As the bows of the Kashmir were pulled from the great hole in the side of the Otranto, the water rushed in, but for a time it did not serve to stop the engines. The Otranto tried to proceed but made no headway against the gale in her crippled condition.
 The Otranto struck the rocks Sun day night south of Saligo bay, Islay island, an uninhabited section where the coast line in many places rises straight out of the water to the rocky peaks many feet above.
 As the destroyer neared the side of the Otranto the men began to jump from 30 to 40 feet from her decks. The more experienced sail ors of the crew of the steamer had better success than the soldiers, many of whom had never seen theNsea until this trip
 As the destroyer steered toward the side of the steamer many of the men leaped too quickly and misset thir reckoning and dropped between the boats. Some of them disappeared in the water, but others of them were caught and crushed to death be- tween the boats and the lifeboats which had been lowered to act as buffers. The destroyer was badly battered.
 The captain of the destroyer, each time it was brushed away from the side of the Otranto again would push near enough for many more men to jump to the deck of his vessel. He described as veritable rain the number of men landing on the de- stroyer.
 Many of those who reached the decks of the vessel suffered broken bones or otherwise were hurt. Those who missed the deck of the destroyer went to almost instant death.
 Four times the battered destroyer came alongside and each time the previous scenes were repeated At the end of the fourth time she had BIO Americans, 236 of the crew, 30 French sailors and one British offi- cer on board The boat was full and.

TURKISH PEACE PROPOSAL NOT
 YET RECEIVED
Would Occasion Little Sur prise; Actions of Germany Lead to Belief of Serious h. ternal Strife
Bv Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11-PropOsals of peace on the part of Turkey, re- ported in London dispatches, had not been received in Washington to- night. State department officials eX- pressed deep interest in the reported move by the Turkish government, but stated positively that no proposal had reached them.
 At the Spanish embassy. which has charge of Turkish affairs in the United States, it was said no intima- ton had come from Madrid that a communication Of this nature might be expected.
 Definite peace proposals by Turkey would occasion little surprise in off cial circle here. It was announced that Turkey was to dispatch a note similar to that sent by Germany and Austria-Hungary and in view Of the fact that none has been received there has been feeling in some quar- ters for several days that a definite appeal might be forthcoming soon. The setting up of a new government composed of elements less pro-Ger- man than the previous cabinet has strengthened the belief that Turkey might decide to offer peace on terms similar to those accepted by Bull garia.
 Acceptance of Austria Hungary and Turkey of President Wilson's terms reported in an Amsterdam dispatch. also would not be surprising, it was said. Conditions in both countries are known to be favorable to the ending of the war at the earliest possible moment
 The next move Of the German chancellor is being awaited by off cials here with equanamity This feeling is intensified because there is not the slightest intention to slacken the tremendous general offensive of the entente and American forces. which is progressing so rapidly and successfully that every days delay on the part of the German government brings nearer it's involuntary com pliance with the conditions laid down by President Wilson that German soldiers must be withdrawn from Oc- cupied territory before Ihere can be any discussion of peace.

SWITCH LINES PASSED; DOUAI
 IS EVACUATED
British Press Forward, Reach ing Railroad Near Beaumont and Commanding Valenci- ennes-Lille Line
CBy Review Leased wIreo

LONDON, Oct. 11.-North of the Scarpe river in the direction of '. Douai, the British have passed the Drocourt-Queant line and reached the Lens-Douai railway in the vicinity of Beaumont, and at Cutlery Lamotte, further north have arrived at Henin-Lietard on the Douai-Carvin road
 The enemy evidently is retir- ing from Douai.
 The British have captured St. Aubert and thus are within seven miles of the main German lateral line of communication, namely the Valenciennes-Lille railway.
 The enemy is retreating on the whole front from the Soissons- Laon road to Grand-Pre, north of the Argonne forest, and also from the north bank of the Suippe river in Champagne.
 General Gourand's army in Champagne advanced four miles this morning and captured Ma chault. The enemy is falling back toward Vouziers.
