PERFORM FOR
WAITING THEATER-GOERS

LONDON, Dec. 6~.-Thousands of
people if overcroWded London who
stand for hours before theaters waiting
to get the best unreserved seats are
furnishing a means of livelihood for
amateur actors. AS the crowds have
steadily increased the past three months
the queques gradually became longer.
The actors come and entertain them
while they wait.
Two black-faee Comedians are the
most popular. They may be seen any
afternoon or night where the lines are
longest and are busy between song and
joke picking up coins thrown to them.
An Italian girl with a pleasing voice
also is popular and successful.
Every theater in London is doing a
thriving business now. Hundreds Of
men are here on leave. Relatives of
Englishmen in London for a few days
come here to be with them. Many
American soldiers and sailors spend
their leave here and all try to stop In
London a few days if possible en- route
to France. Hotel and restaurants are
crowded and hundreds stand In line
for unreserved seats at the theater be-
cause they are unable to reserve seats
ahead.

Of SUB

AZ MEN HEROIC
Regular Jules Verne Exploit Is
Made Public by British.
Captain Loses Life Trying
to Reach Surface.

LONDON, Dec. 6. Correspondence
of the Associated Press, Am extraor-
binary story of the salvage of a Brit
ish submarine which went down IN
Gaerloch lock, near the Clyde, has now
been published.
The submarine had 70 persons on
board, including naval contractors ana
men from the yard where she had Oeell
built. The order was gwen TO supHer6e
and she had descended just beneath
the surface when water began to pour
into her aft and she descended stern
down to a depth of Is fathoms.
An inspection showed that the ven
tilating shaft had been left open and
81 persons in the rear OF the vessel
were drowned Immediately. The tore
part was shut off and the AZ persons
there were saved. How their rescue
was accomplished was sensational,
A few hours had passed before divers

cred a forlorn hope, so far as bringing
anyone up alive was concerned Get.
ting to the bottom, they discovered
that the stern Of the vessel was m
bedded In many feet OF mud. knocking
at the hull, they were amazed to hear
a responsible tapping.
Then Capt. Goodhart attempted a
task which reads like a tale from Jules
Verne. High pressure bottles were
brought into use and the captain un-
dertook with their aid to be projected
through the coming tower and shot
into the water with the hope OF reach
ing the surface and giving information
regarding those below. He was shot
forward, but his head struck a beam
and he was instantly killed.
Another officer volunteered and was
fortunate enough to reach the surface
and give information about the condt-
tons Of the others below. ResGucrs
inserted through a water flap a flexi-
BILE hose, through which air, food and
chocolates were passed, The entombed
men asked, by means OF Morse signal %
ing, for playing cards ITO beguile
the tedium of waiting as one of them
said.
Strong wires were put around the
vessel and the air bottles utilized TO
blow out the oil fuel slowed forward,
which enabled the vessel to drive up
ward at high speed until her bow was
well above the water In a perpendic-
u,ar position.
Immediately a big hole was made In
her by acetylene burners and the AZ
men brought out and conveyed to an
infirmary. They had been below "a
hours when Capt. Goodhart made his
Inflated attempt, and altogether the
party was 81 hours before being saved,
