bomb was ineffective, but the other hit
the deck fairly amidships. The sub
marine was hidden by the smoke of
the explosion, and when the smoke
cleared the U-boat was sinking, with
both ends in the air."
The sixth case: "a seaplane saw
the track Of torpedo fired at a mer-
chairman. 1t dived toward the sur
face and sighted the black shade of
the submarine well below the surface
1t dropped two bombs, which both ex-
pioded close to the submarine, result
Ing in large quantity of oil, bubbles
and wreckage."
The seventh case: 1.-TWO seaplanes
sighted a U-boat on the surface and
dropped bomb each. The first bomb
caused a heavy list to the U-boat,
which began to sink by the stern.
The second bomb exploded in the CEN
ter OF the swirl, demolishing the o.

dropped second bomb into the swirl
and few minutes later a patch of
oil $50 feet long and II feet wide ap-
peared on the surface"
The ninth case: "a naval airship
at midday sighted suspicious patch
Of Oil and circled it in an effort to
ascertain the cause. Suddenly a
periscope broke the surface in the
midst Of the oil. The airship dropped
a bomb close to the periscope and a
series Of bubbles began appearing, in

was moving slowly away under the
water. Several more bombs were
dropped In the path indicated until
satisfactory evidence was obtained of
the enemy's destruction"
The tenth case: IAN airship
dropped two bombs over a submarine
which was engaged In attacking mer-
chantmen. Great patches Of oil and

Wool EmbroiderIea

One of the best points about the
decorative wool embroideries used on
frocks, coats and hats is that any kind
of wool or silk with braid either mar
row or wide and beads of any size
can be used. and any stitches that are
liked. In some cases the strands of
bright colored wool are stitched down
as one would stitch narrow braid Oh
scroll design. In others sort of
loose crewel stitch is adopted: every
thing depends on the material of the
dress. When the latter is very thin
and fragile it is best to adopt the
braiding style, as otherwise great care
has to be taken not to pull the fragile
stuff out of shape and to injure It.

Aid FROM RED CROSS
American Prisoners in Germany
Being Cared For.
Food Sent Regulsrly Through inter-
national Red Cross In
Switzerland.

Washington.-good is now being
sent regularly to American prisoners
in Germany by the American Red
Cross through an arrangement with
the international Red Cross in
Switzerland.
The American Red Cross Office al
Paris recently received a complete list
Of the 159 Americans then prisoners in
Germany. The German government
permits the Red Cross to send each
man 20 pounds Of food q week, in
two packages of ten pounds each.
This Red Cross service is being en-
larged and a warehouse to hold food
enough for 10000 American prisoners
already is under construction near
Berne, Switzerland. 1t is estimated
that at least 80 per cent of the food
packages reach the men.
Parents, wives and relatives of our
soldiers and sailors will find in this
particular Red Cross service the great
est satisfaction because they have
dreaded German prison life for their
loved ones perhaps more than death
itself.
The American prisoners will be per-
mftted to write two letters and four
post cards each month, and also to
acknowledge the receipt Of food pack
ages. The Red Cross food package
follows the army ration pretty closely,
and frequently fresh white bread is
included from the Red Cross bakery
in Berne.
This service is one more reason why
the American people will respond gen.
erously to the next Red Cross war
fund campaign, May 20-27, when an
other $1OO.OOO.0 900. to "carry on" will
be asked. ... ND.

80 miles an hour. The submarine at

seaplane dropped two more bombs

collapsed submarine. which was of
the largest type. carrying two guns"
The second case: AT dawn a sea-
plane sighted a large submarine. on
the surface, with a member Of the
crew standing by the gun. The sea-
plane dropped bomb on the tail Of
the U-boat and afterward photo
graphed the sinking submarine, with

was dropped close to the submarines
bow, and the U-boat collapsed"
