German Diver Also Sinks Three
Barges and Sets Fire to
Fourth and Tug.
PLANES ATTACK DIVER
Two fiiers From Chatham Aviation
Station Engage Foe Submarine
Without Result-eeveral Men,
bsrs Of Barge Crew injured.

Orleans. Mass, July ga barge
tow on the easternmost point of Cape
Cod was attacked by German sub
marine, three Of the barges sunk. a
fourth and the tug set on fire and
four shells dropped on the mainland.
The action lasted an hour and was
unchallenged. except for two hydro.
airplanes from the Chatham aviation
station, which circled over the U.boat,
causing her to submerge for only q
moment. Then the submarine reap.
Deared and resumed firing.
The crews Of the tow, numbering
Al and including three women and five
children. escaped amid the shell fire
in lfeboats. Several were wounded,
but only one seriously. This happened
to be John Botovich, an Austrian. of
the crew Of the tug. His right arm
near the shoulder was torn away by
. fragment of shell. The minor in.
juries of the others were from shell
splintefs.
Thousands See Encounter.
The barges were in tow OF the tug
Perth Amboy, owned by the Lehigh
Valley railroad, and were bound from
Gloucester for New York. One was
loaded with stone. but the others were
light. being on their return trip after
bringing coal to New England. The
attack was without warning and only
the poor craftsmanship of the German
gunners permitted the escape of the
crews.
The one-sided fight took place three
miles south Of the Orleans coast guard
station, which is located midway be.
tween Chatham. at Elbow. and High
land Light, at the extreme tip of the
cape.
The firing was heard for miles and
brought thousands to the beach, from
which the flashes of the guns and the
outline Of the U-boat were plainly Wis
ible. Possible danger to the onio.k x.
ers was not thought of until shell
whizzed over their heads and splashed
in pond mile inland. Three other
shells buried themselves in the sands
Of the beach.
Survivors Lost Their Clothes.
The survivors Of the tow, with the
exception of two injured. were taken
to the Orleans coast guard station
communication with which by tele
phone was not permitted under navy
regulations. No information could be
obtained from official sources on the
cape.
Botovich and another man from one
Of the barges, bota OF whose arms had
been injured. were removed to the pri
vate hospital Of DR.. James McHugh
Later Botovich was taken to hospital
in Boston.
The survivors lost all their personal
effects and some Of them who were
having their turn in their hunks wher
the U.boat appeared came ashore IL
their night clothing.

ARMY MAKES RECORD MEAT
PURCHASE.

Chicago, July 20.-The largest
single oider Tor bacon and canned
meats in the history of the world
JJ,56O,Ovo POUNDS OF bacon and l54,-
100000 pounds of canned meat-has
just been placed by the Quartermas-
ter's Department, U. S. A., for the
American Army overseas.
Louis F. Swift, in commenting on
this today, said the order will take
the bacon from approximately 1,9O0,-
600 hogs and if other work were drop
ped to produce it would be equivalent
to the total prouction of the five larg-
est Chicago packers for nearly five
weeks. However, six months will
elapse before delivery is to be COM
pleted.
Mr.. Swift said:
"At the current prices on the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about ss0,000,000 for
the necessary hogs and over $4,000
900 for about 100000 cattle required.
"The cattle will cost US twice as
much and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as in the pra-war
period.
"The whole order will be made up
before the first of the year, despite
the fact that, even before this pur-
chase, one-fourth Of the packers facil-
itias have been devoted to filling mil
itary demands.
"In order to get out the canned
goods the packers will find it neces-
sary to employ night and day shifts
of Gamers. Notwithstanding the
fact that the products are being
rushed forward thus hurriedly, not
single complaint has been received on
meats delivered to ths armies.
"The five packers are now killing
about 100000 hogs weekly to keep
abreast of martial and domestic
needs"

that his supreme sacrifice, glorious in
its unselish patriotism though it was,
is any greater in quality than that OF
any other OF the fine American lads
who have died fighting in France.
The humblest private in TIE trenches
who has perished while doing his
duty, has given as much as Quentin
Roosevelt did-for each has given ali
that he had to e.7e-his life.
But Quentin Roosevelt typifies in
striking way the self-sacrifice to
which our American youth has proud
ly pledged itself. Only few years
ago he was 'the baby" of the White
House." typical American boy, busy
with his pets, his juvenile hobbies, his
goings and cominrs so identical in
spirit with those of hundreds of thous-
ands Of other American boys in other
American homes. Now he lies dead
behind the enemy's lines. He went
to the front of his own free will, and
with the glad ,anrroval Of his illns-
trious father. Like his three broth
e-s stil' in the servi"e-and like that
same father he early sought oppor-
tunitv to serve.
Has untimely death at the age OF
twenty-five is just one of the nu-
merous sacrinces America has made
for world liberty. Because it stands
out with such prominencei it will
serve to harden American resolution
to see this thing through. Quentin
Roosevelt has not died in vain. His
blood, like that Of his comrade heroes
who have gone, will help to cement
the American people into one resolute
Nation as nothing else could.
The heart of America goes out in
this hour to Colonel Roosevelt, who,
like the Roman father he .is,. accepts
the news of his bereavement with
courage. Denied the chance to fight
in France, he has not sulked in his
tent but has given of his time his
strength, his resourcefullness to the
inning Of the war at home. Even
now, though his heart is sore. he goes
forward steadily with his work. He
does not alter his PROGRAM Of activ-
itv nor abate his loval purnose.
Now more than ever will the name
~ Roosevelt be honored whenever
Americans forc1ather. .-M Minneapolis

40 OPPORTUNITY
FOR the LADIES
$4,000 WOMEN TO ENROLL IN
THE UNITED STATES STU
DENT NURSE RESERVE.

, The Government is calling for 25,-
600 young women to join the United
States Studens Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprecedent-
ed demand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken the full train
ing course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course Of
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve
is releasing nurse for service at the
front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line Of hospital dafense. Upnn
the health Of the American ren,,,e
will depend the spirit Of their. fight
ing forces.
Age.-The call is for women be-
tween the ages of nineteen and
thifty-fve.
Qualifications Intelligent, respon-
sible, women Of good education and
sound health are wanted-the pick of
the country. "A college education is a
valuable asset, and many hospitals
win give credit for it. Credit will
also be given for special scientific
equipment or for preliminary training
in nursing, such as tina. given in spec
ial courses now teing conducted by
various colleges and schools. Some
schools, on the other hand, do not
even require full high-school edu-
cation.
Enrolment Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll in thu Unit
ed States Students Nurse Reserve
in any Of the three ways:
a. As engaging to hold themselves
in readiness until April 1919, to ac-
cept assignments to nurses training
schools. These women will be sent
to the schools as fast as vacancies
occur. Those Of superior qualifica-
tions will be given preference, and it
is. Of course, possible that not every
one who enrolls will be accepted.
(2) AS desiring to become candi-
dates for the Army Nursing School
recently established by authority OF
the War Department, with branch
schools in selected military hospitals.
(3) As engaging to hold tham-
selves in readiness until April / 1919,
to accept assignments to either a
civilian training school or the Army
Nursing School. Those who so en-
roll will be called where the first need
arises. The Government hopes that
4 majority of those who enroll will
thus put down their names for both.
For further information inquire of
Mrs. h. L. Pstrie, County Chairman
of the Woman's Committee, Council
Of National Defense, Linton, N. D..
