Enemy Admits Over
100000 Americans In
France; Realize They
Are Up Against 1t

Probably the ship thought the small
boats were German submarine de-
coys.
Torture reached its limits the next
day. Previously the officers had re-
sorted to physical force to prevent
the Lascars from drinking the salt
water. Now nothing could restrain
them and they eagerly drank the
brine. Soon afterward two died OF
their sufferings.
Hope had almost died when late
that evening a vessel sighted and
picked them up. They we're landed
in Ireland.

ONE INSTANCE ENEMY SUB

One instance in which an enemy
submarine commander, after sinking
q British vessel, amazed the survl-
yors by giving them bandages and
,iniment for their wounds, stands out
in sharp contrasts with the brutality
or indifference to suffering practlced
bv the German sea-pirates. Never
theless the survivors tell a story OF
extreme hardship endured in small
boats for six days and nights. Seven
teen are missing of the ships COM
pany of ninety.five.
Five hundred miles from the irish
coast a large British steamer, out
ward bound in ballast received a tor
ncdo deathblow. No time was lost
by the ships company in getting
away from the sinking ship.
MANY of the crew had been wound
ed especially among the engine-room
force, With difficulty the injured
was placed in the boats.
The submarine suddenly appeared
nearby and the commander came on
deck He noticed the wounded, and
calling the boats alongside his craft
he went inside, returning with Dahu
ogee and liniment which he handed
to the surprised officers in charge ol
tho boats This act of kindness
saved several lives.
A steamers smoke was seen on the
horizon and the U-boat made off rap

course toward land, but the wind was

POLITE PASSENGER SANG
HYMNS WHILE "SOUSED''

Boston, July 19.-The passengers on
a Norumbega Park car were interest
ed in the actions of slightly intoxi-
Gated individual who boarded the car
at Park street for a Sunday afternoon
ride. His first desire was to assure
all near him that he was perfect
gentleman. He politely apologized
for speaking to the people he was un-
acquainted with and then told of his
honorable lineage.
Remembering 1t was Sunday, he
then began to sing hymns. Fer over
half an hour the singing continued,
and the remarkable part was that he
never repeated hymn and never for
got the words, even II the tune was a
trif1e uncertain at times.
