the crew. - : : 80 Z flt''ffa
We could see the crew jumping into
the water. Then we breezed out
toward the horizon, full speed ahead.
All about the Triumph was cloud of
black smoke, but when we looked
through the glass we could see she was
going down. Then our guns began to
lombard the Turkish positions and
had to get busy. When / saw the
Triumph again she was bottom up.
She must have floated upside down
for almost half an hour, then she went
down as though there was somebody
on the bottom pulling her.
When she went our Old Man banged
his telephone on the bridge rail and
swore at the Huns and Turks and
broke his telescope lens to bits. About
fifty from the Triumph were lost.
1t was decided that the place was
too hot for US with that sub running
loose, and when they reported that
afternoon that she was making her
way south from Gaba Tepe to Cape
Helles all of the fleet but the Majestic
got under way, and the Majestic was
the only ship left off the cape.
They said the Majestic was then the
oldest of the ships in that campaign,
but she was the pride of the British
deet just the same. She was torpedoed
off Cape Helles later on. when there
were number of men-of-war off the
cape. The sea was crowded with men
swimming and drowning. l saw life
boat crowded with men and other men
IN the water hanging onto her and
there were so many hanging on that
they started to pull her under. Of
their own accord the men in the water
let go to save those in the boat. Most
Of them were drowned.
The Majestic listed so that the men
could not stand on deck, and the sides
were covered with men hanging on
to ropes and not knowing whether
to jump into the sea or not. We low
cred all our lifeboats and steam
launches, and so did the other ships.
We picked up number of the crew
and were pretty close to the Majestic
when she went down like a rock. AS
she went down she turned over and
garby ran along her side to the ram
at her bow and got on it without even
being wet. A boat picked him up off
the ram, which stuck out of the water
after the ship had ceased to settle.
She had torpedo nets on her sides,
and many of the crew were unable to
get clear of the nets and went down
with her. Quite a lot were caught
below decks and had no possible
chance to escape. There was a big
explosion as she went under-probabIy
the boilers bursting. Thousands Of
troops on shore and thousands Of
sailors on the ships saw the final
plunge, and it was a sight to remem-
Der. When the ship started to go, the
Old Man rushed back to his cabin,
got the signal book and destroyed it.
Also, he saved the lives OF Two of his
men.
We gave dry clothes and brandy and
coffee to the Llmeys we rescued, and
though they had just come through
something pretty tough, they were

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DIR. LEE H. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again. and
whether we fight German or a germ, we
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis.
ease. Remember these three C's--a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root Of ialap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after q hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much Of the pol
sons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in
crease the vital resistance. The fever IL
diminished by the use Of the Anuric tab
let's, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful of sal
aratus has been dissolved in a quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store good iron tonic, called
"Trontic" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery

CHAPTER xI-continued.

During our eighth trick off Cape
Helles / was amidships in the galley
when l heard our two 14-pounders go
off almost at the same time. Every
body ran for his station. Going up
the main deck to my turret a man told
me it was sub on the port bow, but
l only caught glimpse of the little
whirlpool where her periscope sub
merged. l do not know why she did
not let loose torpedo at us. The
officers said she was trying to make
the entrance to the Dardanelles and
came up blind among our ships and
was scared off by our guns, but
thought we had just escaped by the
skin Of our teeth. Later on our de-
stroyers claimed to have sighted her
off Gaba Tepe.
AT noon we were at mess when one
of the boys yelled, "She's hit" and we
all rushed on deck. There was the
British ship, Triumph, torpedoed and
listing away over to starboard. She
was ready to turn over in a few min
utes. One battleship is not supposed
to go to the assistance of another one
that has been torpedoed, because the
chances are the sub is still in the
neighborhood laying for the second
ship with another torpedo. But one
of the British trawlers went to the
assistance of the Triumph to pick up

along the sides Of their bodies like
coconuts. A great many of them,
though, were killed by shrapnel while
they were in the water.
On board the Cassard our guns had
been busy all the lime, and it was not
long before we put one enemy bat
terry out of commission. We had suf-
fered bit, too, but not enough to
worry us. There were about 5000 men
on the Champagne, / think, and at
least q third were Killed or drowned,
and the casualties must have been
almost two-thirds. The ship was just
a mass of wreckagc.

No Bar There,

A customer got away from Liberty

The headquarters are in the base
ment of the Splitter building, where
there used to be a cafe. A man came

working busily at many tables, took
off his hat with an embarrassed air,
and whispered to a couple of bystand-

they let the man hurry out without
even selling him a Thrift stamp.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
Jle gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop failing hair at tohde!
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful In just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. ADV.

CHAPTER XII.
A Pal crueiHed.

When we gotto "V'' Beach on my
next trip the weather was really fine,
but it did not please us much, for as
soon as we got in range the enemy
batteries opened up on us and the
shell fire was heavier than any we
had been in before, though not more
effective. We drew in on q bright
morning, about half past five or six,
with our convoy, the troopship Cham
payne, ahead of us and going slowly,
sounding all the way.
At this part of the shore there Is a
dock about mile and a half long,
running back into the country and
terminating in a road. The Cham
payne was making for this dock,
sounding as she went. Suddenly, when
she was within 500 yards of the Shore.
l saw her swing around and steer in
crazy fashion. We began asking
each other what was the matter with
her, but we learned afterwards that
her rudder had been torn off, though
we never found out how, nor do / think
anyone ever knew.
Then she went aground, with her
stern toward the shore and listed ce}esss

tidy up the apartment. Mother came
home and expressed warm approval.

with pride: 'It takes me to clean up"
With equal pride Della remarked:

to port. You could see different arti-
cles rolling out and down the side.
Then her back broke. The quarter
deck was crowded with men half
dressed, with life belts on, jumping
over the side or climbing down. There
was an explosion and a cloud of black
smoke broke over us, and for a while
| thought was blinded.
All the time the shells were raining
in on US and on the Champagne.
When could see again saw the men
on the Champagne climbing down the
starboard or shore side. One chap was
going down hand over hand along a
stanchion, when another fellow above
him let go and slid right down on him.
The first man fell about thirty feet,
landing in the water with his neck
doubled under him. Our lifeboats and
launches were out picking up sur
vivors.
Those who got safely over the side
started to swim ashore, but when they
had gone only little way they found
they could wade in. When the water
was only up to their waists they came
upon barbed wire entanglements and
not man got ashore that way but
was scratched and clawed and man

With the British Army in France,
May 15.-Hill A, a small but impor-

river, north of KENNEL, about which
such sanguinary conflicts have been
waged since May s, appeared today to
be in the hands of the Germans again.
The enemy began an assault in the
morning and gained hold on this po-
sition, and at latest reports was still
clinging tenaciOusly to the rugged
slopes, although the hard hitting
French had been pressing the invaders
vigorously.

With the American Army in France,
May 15.-An American patrol in Pr

men at night. In this part of the front
the Germans are using searchlights
and trench mortars occasionally, al
though the artillery fire is under nor

swept by enemy machine guns, but
there have been no casualties. There
is considerable activity back of the
German lines. The TOul sector, where
American troops are stationed, has
been exceedingly quiet during the last

at minimum and there is little aerial
activity until late in the day.

PASS OvERMsN BILL
MEASURE WINS IN HOUSE BY
VOTE OF 2e5 TO 2.
Amendment to Exempt Commerce Body
From Powers of Act Defeated
Now Goes to President.

Washington, May 15.-The long fight
in congress over the Overman bill, en-
towering the president to reorganize
government departments and agencies,
ended with passage of the measure I'M
amended by the house. 1t goes to
President Wilson for his signature.
The vote was 295 to 2, Representa-
tives Sterling of Illinois and Gillett of
Massachusetts, both Republicans, cast
ing the only negative votes.
An amendment to exempt the inter-
state commerce commission from the
operations of the measure was defeat
ed, 213 to 81.
Representative Longworth of Ohio
Republican, declared the bill gives the
president the authority to restore to
Secretary McAdoo all of the powers
proposed for him in the original draft
of the war finance corporation bill.
Former Speaker Cannon came to the
support of the administration in the
debate. Representative Gillett of Mas
sachusetts, Republican leader, led the
fight against the bill.
Both Democrats and Republicans,
Mr.. Cannon said, would continue to
support the president in the war until
victory was won. He departed from
his subject to attack George Creel,
chairman of the committee on public
information, and said that if he had
his way he would take Creel by the
seat of the breaches and the back of
his neck and throw him into space"
Representative Giliett told the house
the bill proposes to abrogate the pow
ers of congress and give 1nem over to
the president. No suggestion has been
made by the administration as to what
it hopes to accomplish under the bill,
he said.
Representative Sherley of Kentucky
told the house that if time were not
the important element in war he would
be in sympathy with all of the senti-
ments expressed by Gillett, but that In
time of war decision and action are all
important.

Amsterdam, May Is. - Emperor
William has issued proclamation
concerning Lithuania in which he says
it is assumed Lithuania will partici-
pate in the war burdens of Germany.
In the proclamation the ''independ-
ence" of Lithuania, allied with the
German empire is recognized
we assume that the conventions to
be concluded" the proclamation says
further, will take the interests of the
German empire into account equally
with those of Lithuania and that Lith-
uania will participate in the war bur-
dens of Germany which secured her
liberation"
Lithuania is one of the former Rus
sian border states which the Germans
have attempted to set up as nominally
independent countries, under German
influence. Germany is making every
effort to exploit the states economical
ly, but except in the case of Poland
has not attempted to force the former
russian subjects to fight with the Ger
man army, as the emperor's announce
ment indicates may now be done in
Lithuania. The attempt to enroll a
Polish army on the same plea that Is
now made in the case of Lithuania
was failure and the polish legion"
was disbanded

ing among the Lithuanians to trans
