lided on dark night in the English
Channel with a sturdy British stand
ard ship carrying oil. There was an
explosion of benzine, and both ves-
sells were quickly swept by flames.
OF the crew of the British ship only
eight men, who jumped overheard,
were saved.
Salvage work on both ships began
with the arrival Of tugs which, after
overcoming many difficulties, managed
to tow them close in shore. There 1t
was necessary to sink them by gun
fire. They are now being brought to
the surface, long, arduous task.
The tanker, fine vessel some 500
feet long and new built, had on board
10000 tons Of oil, and, though she
blazed for four days, half Of the car
60 was salved. When thoroughly re-
paired, the tanker will be returned to
the United States, not much worse
for wear, the damage being estimated
at $750,000-a small amount in marine
figuring in these days when persons
think In millions.

400 SUNkEN MERCHANT VESSELS
RESTORED TO SERVICE
(By Associated Press.l

London, Aug. 6.-Not all the ships
which German torpedoes and marine
collisions send to the bottom of the
sea stay there. In less than three
years more than 400 sunken merchant
vessels have been restored to service.
And more than one ship has been
raised, repaired, sent forth on a new
career, and then sunk and raised
anew for third lease on life.
This rescut work is done by the sal
wage section Of the British navy. Be-
fore the war no one thought Of at
tempting to save such wrecks as are
now brought up from the depths, but
ships now are priceless. The tinan-
cial value of the salvage work Is enor-
nous. The cargoes salved are them
selves worth many millions Of dol
lars.

Raid Complete Failure
(By Associated Press.

London, Aug. 6.-An attempted
raid by German Zeppelins on the east
Anglian coast last night proved a
complete fiasco, according to reports
thus far received. There is no evi-
dence yet that any bombs were
dropped. It is probable the crews Of
the two airships which are supposed
to have reached land were too busy
protecting their ships from pursuing
British airmen.

wish / could tell you all about where
I am and all about everything that is
going on over here.
About all that | can tell about is
that l am we'll and getting along fire
and hope to be back home before
many months.
We are so glad to hear Of the great
big subscription to the Third Liberty
Loan and you can rest assured that
the money and great effort put forth
will bring about the early and COM
plete defeat Of the German army.
We cannot at this time predict the
end with any accuracy but one thing
is sure: It will end right when 1t
does end. We would like to be home
pretty soon again but would gladly
remain here for years yet than to see
a patched up peace or compromise. II
would be unfair to those who have
already given their blood to have a
German-msde peace or compromise
