A WOMAN" DID IT
Interesting Narrative Concerning De-
 struction of German Submarine Through British Mystery Ship Ruse.

London, Aug. 6.-Interesting revela- tions regarding the work of British mystery ships which have played an important part in anti-submarine war fare are made by the naval corre- spondent of the Times. They show how British seamen have met Ger man craft and cunning with craft and cunning.
 Until this week the public has known nothing about the mystery ships, known in the navy as the 70" ships, although several officers not ably Captain Gordon Campbell, have been decorated for their services on these vessels. Details now can be made public as the Germans are be- coming aware through bitter expe- rience of the methods used against them.
 How a woman" accounted for a U-boat is told by the correspondent. The submarine ordered a vessel to sur render and fired a, few shells into her The boats then left the ship, leaving on board woman who ran up and down the deck with a baby in her arms as if mad. The U-boat came along side and the woman hurled the "oaby' into the open hatch. The ''baby" exploded ad blew out the bot tom of the submarine. The"woman' was decorated with the Victoria Cross

RIOTERS PUNISHED
Three Middletown Men Assessed S15 Each and Sentenced to Jail with Judgment Suspended.

Middletown, Aug. 6.-Judge James F.. Edlin in imposing sentence upon three men convicted yesterday of breach of the peace, today deprecated the acts of the men and declared that he hoped it would be the last time that MiddletoWn saw a riot of this character. The men, Frank German, Bernard ScanlOn and John Rosanio, each under 21, were fined S15 and costs each, with a jail sentence of Is days, which sentence was suspended during good behavior.
 Judge Edlin said he wished to make it plain that suspension of the jail sen tence was merely an act of elem ency The question of the loyalty of Carl Hermann and his son, who were made to kiss the flag and declare their loy a,lty last Friday night had nothing to do with the case. He said that the United States government was compe- tent to take care of disloyal citizens and there was no need and no place for "mob rule" in MiddletoWn. He said the community did not propose to tolerate riots of this chara Cter and hoped that Middletown would not see another demonstration like the one in question.

medans have journey to this spot,
which they caunt second only to the
holy places of Mecca in religious sig

Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is
the sacred rock about which host Of

this rock, Mahomet ascended into

worth anything. rested Noah's ark,
and Jacob saw the angelic vision. This
spot is IS miles nearer heaven than
any other on the earth, and the Turks
accept the old Jewish theory that this
is the center Of the earth. Here on the
judgment day will the angel ISRAELI
stand when he sounds his trumpet.
There is little room for argument
over these statements. You accept or
reject them as you will But Iong and

conclusion and grants that very like

stood the altar Of the famous Jewish

Zen for a confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure protecting the rock is a
worthy rival Of the Tai Mahal in
beauty of design The building is oc-

called theMosque Of Omar, to the dis
tress Of the wei informed who point
out that ii is only a shrine and that
the true Mosque Of Omar is a small
vault like building in no way con-
nected with the sacred rock
Mohammedan worship is as yet IN
disturbed by the victory of the Chris
tians. the chief difference being that
the Mohammedan is now the tenant
and the unbeliever the landlord.
