LUNGS OF GERMAN
U.BOAT MEN BURST
Shot Like Torpedo From Sunken
Craft 120 Feet Below
the Suface.

London.-Harrowing details of the
destruction Of one of the largest and
more recently constructed German
submarines are given In a dispatch
from a neutral correspondent. This
submarine was one of the last to leave
Zeebrugge before the entrance to the
harbor was blocked by British forces
on April "a.
The U-boat struck a mine. and out
of the crew of 40 only two survived on
reaching the surface after a terrible
struggle with death for an hour and
a half. 20 fathoms below the surface.
Some of the crew committed suicide,
having lost all hope Of leaving the boat
alive.
The only chance of escaping was to
force open the coming tower and the
. forward matches and trust to the COM
preston of air In one part Of the YES
sci to force each man like torpedo
to the surface. The air pressure In
the submarine had become so high that
a great majority of the Germans could
not keep their mouths closed.
The compressed air shot them to
the surface and hardly had they
reached the sea level when the air
pressure burst their lungs and abou,
twenty of them sank like stones. The
survivors described the yells of the
men, when the end came. as the mos
horrible noise they had ever heard.
The attention OF a British trawlel
was attracted and IT hastened to the
rescue. The condition of the survivors
showed that their experiences In tn,
submarine had been of a dreadful
character.

TWENTY-SEVEN CAMERAS USED
TO SHOOT BIG WAR DRAMA

You've got as many cameras as we
have machine guns" remarked an
officer in charge of the thousands OF
regular troops who manned the
trenches for the filming of the gigan-
tic Ira NJ. Lowry spectacle, For the
Freedom of the World" which will be
shown at the American theatre on
Friday, July 10.
AS matter of fact, over the area
of several hundred yards where an
actual sector of the front line in
France had been reproduced, there
were twenty machine guns, and at
various places along the line and be-
hind it were concealed twenty-seven
cameras. operated by experts who had
been gathered from all over the coun.
try and event lent by other picture
concerns to assist in making the big
gest battle scenes ever filmed.
There were thousands of spectators
including more than hundred army
and naval officers. Several British
officers who had returned from the
front line declared that the trenches
couldn't be told from the real thing.
Taking a picture from so many an
giles resulted in many thousand feet
more of film being made than was
needed, and a tremendous problem
was presented of cutting this down to
the needed length. But when seen on
the screen the effect is magnificent
and shows more truly than anything
else what our own boys will soon be
facing "over there"
For the Freedom of the World" Is
a thrilling story Of the famous Amer
ican Legion of the Canadian army.
which was authorized by Lieut.. Gen.
Sir Sam Hughes. the minister OF
militia in Canada, when he found that
hundreds of Americans were coming
each day to join the Canadian forces
because they were so eager to enter
the fight for liberty. This, of course,
was before the time that the United
States entered the war, and so the
legioners had the honor of being the
first to carry the Stars and Stripes
over the top.
The record made by these men has
been a wonderful one. Most of them
have either been killed or wounded
but countless decorations for bravery
under fire have been bestowed upon
members of the legion.
