passengers The vessel was torpedoed

about 500 miles south OF Ireland. .

TO plunge into the ocean. A large num-
Der, however. went down with the ship.
The vessel disappeared within seven
minutes after being struck by the tor
pedo.
The scene was indescribable. The
weather was bad and rather hany. The
cries Of the drowning were heart rend-
Ing. Everybody had been supplied with
life belts. but only the strongest were
able to stand the buffeting waves and
exposure.
Providentially the commander OF the
American destroyer Sterrett heard tho
explosion and steered his vessel for
the point whence the sound came. He
found the ship had disappeared and
saw many struggling In the water.
There were no small boats available.
20 the destroyer steamed about picking
up those who still were alive as far as
possible in the heavy sea. The Ameri-
can ship picked up thirty persons. one
Of whom died while being brought
ashore.
While the Sterrett was engaged in
this work the submarine fired two tor
pedoes at her, both missing. After maxi
ing q thorough search for survivors the
'Sterrett headed for the submarine, flring

PARIS. Oct e.-The attack east Of

main result In. view. That was to re-
store the battle lire west Of the Meuse
TO the place where It was when the Ger

In 1915. The plan also was to clear the
right bank Of the Meuse of enemy guns
which had been causing considerable
trouble and also to secure from the en-.
envy certain valuable observation points.
The operation was very successful.
The enemy seemingly was taken by sur.
prise. He had massed his troops and
guns further east in strongly fortified
positions. leaving the Austro- Hungarian

was delivered. There was no artillery
preparation. despite the fact that q nor

necessary to reduce the mass of wire
which the enemy had built In front OF
and between his lines virtually in the
Bois de Caures.
The nature of the terrain forbade the
use of tanks Therefore the attack wal

element of surprise and dash. The Ger.

Tighten Your Belt

However this great offensive the western front may turn out the people of this country have already been freed from illusion. is partly our own fault, our apathy, our national misunderstand- ing of other peoples and partly the fault of those who have persisently sugar coated what at the best a bitter situation, that we have never grasped the magnitude of the the seriousness of it to our selves and the absolute necessity that effort of every citizen must be put forth, and all efforts ordinated if to win the to escape crushing defeat.
 Three days of the offensive have shown us what, to use a colloqualism, we are up against Though the offensive had been extensively advertised though we were told by the enemy the day on which it would be begun and though it is admitted that had been apprised by our own observation when it would begin if begun all the allies have been horribly surprised at the magnitude and the success of the offensive far gap twenty-one miles long and from four fifteen miles deep has been cut through the allied defensive system at what must be at it's strongest part and at the part where the would choose to attack, whether weak strong. Great numbers of prisoners have been taken As to the casualties have been given intimaton but on both sides they must have been unprecedented in the whole history of warfare
 Against this have these grains of comfort; the worst has not yet happened, there has been rout the British troops have held to the last ing the British traditions of centuries.
 It may be that within week the initiative will have passed from the enemy to the allies and that the lost ground will have been recovered. But that will by no means end the nor will it be the be- ginning of the end. We will only have learned how strong the enemy is and how difficult will be our task of crushing him.
 The grim news from the front will free the Amer icsn people of any further illusions to this war and at the same time weld them closer together with an increased determination to win. And will find this great nation, with true American grit tight ening its belt and in a spirit of faith and sacri- flee throwing gigantic into the struggle which wise men recognize has become struggle for national existence.
 We have been shown since last Thursday morn ing where stand and what is before The task has never before been given such closeup" We know that every must be strained; that before the war ends the last ounce of man. power must be delivered the last grain of food must be conserved and the last dollar must be held to be placed at the disposal of the government.
 The war must be won by fighting. The forces of starvation upon which relied to bring the German people to their knees have deserted us and have turned against allies the British and the French We have other adventitious aid in this war for civilization We must rely wholly upon ourselves and not upon chance or the mistakes of enemy who in four years has seldom blundered
