AMERICAN OFFICER TAKEN
CAPTIVE BY HUN U-BOAT

An Atlantic Port.-When the American
oil ship Atlantic Sun of 1888 tons gross
was torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine in the war zone a few weeks
ago the first officer was taken prisoner
by the crew of the U-boat, according TO
members OF the oil vessels crew who ar
rived here today
Captain Montague Prowse who con-
firmed the story of the sailors. told of his
own remarkable escape from death. A
torpedo struck the. Atlantic Sun in the
port side-~and penetrated an Oil tank
which. exploding, blew a large hole in
the side of the vessel. The captains
cabin was wrecked and the skipper fell
into the hold and the rush of oil to the
surface carried him through the aperture
which the torpedo had made and he found
himself floating in the debris.
While the submarine was Smelling the
damaged vessel, the latter's crew rescued
Captain Prowse. The U-boat approach
ed their lfeboat and the second officer
informed the Germans that the captain
had persisted, The submarine command
err thereupon ordered the first officer,
whose name Captain Prowse would not
disclose today, into the U-boat, the Ger
man explaining that he was obliged to
produce an officer in order 10 obtain a
bonus which he said the German govern
ment had offered for sinkngs.

GAS CLOUDS FROM
co. G, nth INFANTRY

There was many a moist eye among the
kitchen police and cooks while we were
out in the trenches last Saturday: the
cooks were anstrlIng to great degree
and the mess sergeant was nearly pros
trated. Upon inquiry into the cause OF
SUCH evident sorrow and distress it was
learned that one of the companys dish
towels had mySteriouSly diSapp it
had been there but a short time before
mess was served and had thereafter been
seen no more. The towel had seen long
and faithful service, having been with
the company we were first called out, and
the old place didn't seem to be the same
without it. But then the blow fell! While
the coffee was being served TO the thirsty
men in the trenches someone happend to
glance into the pail and was more than
Mortified to discover that in some way
the missing towel had slipped and met a
watery death. When the mess sergeant
found out the truth, one of the men hav-
ing broken the news very gently, he burst
into paroXysrn of tears and fondled the
beloved remnants to his breast. For con-
ISOLATION we can say with all sincerity that
for both his sake and our own we hope
and pray that there will be no repetition
OF such a CHASTITY occurrence.

an autobiography of his life.

and cause his musical voice to be less
harmonious. One might say that he is

TENTlNG IN THE "PUP"
TENTS FOR CLEANING

A fond farewell was given to letters
from the Only GIRL boxes, souvenirs
and other teasures collected during the
past eight months by the boys of the
10Sth Field Artillery when they were or
dered to destroy everything they could
not carry and with full equipment march
to the hillside behind the gunparks and
pitch their shelter-tents.
The order was carried out to the let
ter, too. Many had thought that their
things would be spared. but everything
left behind in the tents, no matter how
wen camouflaged, went to feed the flames
of a fire that cleaned things up for good.
OF course there were many articles too
valuable to be destroyed
All that remained to the men them
selves after the destroying details had
finished were the things that could be
packed by hook or crook into the ditty
bags and blanket rolls.
Once down there, the speculations as to
what would follow We're many. Some
rumors said an immediate departure, 9TH
ers said the range, and so on, but all
were wrong and the regiment remained
on the hin side, the tents being furled and
cots rolled up.
During the past week the 90 motor
trucks, the new motive power of the regi-
ment which turned its horses back to
the Remount Station several weeks ago,
arrived and the men have been hard at
work mastering them.
These trucks are of the newest type
four wheel drive and develop plenty of
power to haul the men, supplies and even
guns around If need he.
Each day a detail of men is taken from
each battery and taught both how to
drive and how to repair the trucks,
