BELGIAN RELIEF SHIP
VICTIM OF U-BOAT
Disabled Vessel in Tow Reported by
Captain OF Arriving Steamer.

A large steamer, with part of her
smOkestack gone and her bridge dam
aged, in tow of a government tug off
the southern New England coast, was
reported by the captain of a steamer
which arrived at an Atlantic port Tues
day. The captain believed the dis
abled vessel to be a Belgian relief
steamer. The tug and her tow were
near the scene of the recent operations
of a German submarine.
The captain said he was quite sure
he could make out the words, BEL
gian Relief" in large white letters on
the side of the disabled vessel. The
steamer had four masts, he said. The
tug was taking its tow westward.
The sighting of the disabled steam
er follows the report of signals of dis
tress heard last night. Wal vessels
were sent out early Tuesday and
searched the seas. Most of them re-
turned with the report that there were
no signs of a craft in distress.
Aviators who first reported the sig
nails went out again Tuesday. They
returned at noon, but, under orders,
Immediately put out again.

Functions of Marrow.

A writer in the London Lancet sug-
gests that marrow has a twofold func-
ton, not only to nourish the bone. but
to supply a most important internal
secretion. AS bearing this out, he cites
the mortality of 90 per cent in ''pri-
mary cases of amputation high up the
thigh when the patient is in the prime
of life, with secondary cases in
which the mortality is only go per cent.
In the secondary cases, where a dis
eased condition has existed for some
time, there is less shock, according to
the writer, because the system has be
come gradually accustomed to getting
along without the marrow in the thigh
bone, which contains one-sixth of the
total amount in all the bones.

FRENCH AND AMERICANS
GAIN IMPORTANT POINTS
British Divisions Are Taking Ground
From the Enemy.

The British Wednesday gained i'm
pcrtant ground in Vrigny wood, near
Rheims.
Highly important gains by the
French and American forces on the
Aisne-Marne front are reported in the
official statement of the war office
issued Wednesday night. In the CEN
ter of the line an advance of nearly
two miles was made. Desperate en-
gagements were fought in the direc-
ton of Epiedes and Trugny-Epiedes,
which villages the Americans again
recaptured from the Germans. To the
north of Epiedes the Franco-Ameri-
can line is now beyond Courpoil.
The statement reads: On our left
we hold Armentieres and Chatelet
wood, beyond which we advanced as
far as Breezy, which we occupied.
In the center Franco-American
troops made an advance at certain
points of more than three kilometers.
Desperate fighting has been in pro-
gress in the region of Epiedes and
Trugny-Epiedes, which, retaken by
the Germans Tuesday at the end of
the day, were reconquered again in
a counter attack by the Americans.
North of these two villages we have
carried our line beyond Courpoil.
Between the Ourcq and the Marine,
our attacks, resumed Wednesday
morning, were continued successfully
through.
On our right we made progress in
the forest of Fere, north of Charteves
and Jaulgonne. Further to the east
we extended our bridgehead at Ire
loup and occupied the southern cor
ner of Ris forest.
In this sector we captured five can
non and about fifty machine guns, as
we'll as considerable material.
Between the Marine and Rheims
there were intermittent artillery ac-
tons.
In Tuesdays lighting, in the course
of which III troops occupied the Bots
de Rheims, south of Courmas, we
made several hundred prisoners. North
of Montdidier the total number Of
prisoners taken on July 20 in the re-
gion of Mailly-Raineval and Aubyil-
lers is 1850, including fifty-two Off
GERS, among them four battalion chiefs.
Among the supplies captured were
four cannon of IT'S, forty-fve trench
cannon and 300 machine guns.
Tuesday was another successful day
for the allies along the entire active
battlefront.
The bag of prisoners captured by
the French northwest of Montdidier
numbered more than 1900. The vic
tory was gained with very slight los
ses.
On the northern side of the Marine
American and French troops met sew
eral strong German attacks, to which
they responded with vigorous coun-
ter attacks, as a result of which the
allied line again was advanced. The
Americans made their gains in heavy
fighting neal Barbillon wood. On the
eastern side of the salient the French
and British advanced an average of
one kilometer. The British increased
the number of prisoners taken in three
days to HOO capturing 300.
approximately 100000 dead, wound
ed and prisoners have been lost by the
Germans since July 10. The enemy
continues to burn stores and NUM-
tons within the salient, evidently be-
ing fearful that the future will see
him driven back much farther.
