was sent to the bottom. Seventeen members of her crew, including the commander and the executive officer, are missing.
 The chaser was manned by naval reserves. Eight of the survivors, some of them wounded, have been landed in New York, and one has been landed in Lewes, Del.
 The merchant ship was the Ameri- can steamer Felix Taussig. In the darkness her naval armed guard mis- took the chaser for an enemy sub marine and opened fire, destroying the little craft before the mistake was discovered.
 Of the survivors landed, the follow ing were wounded:
 Thomas Harran, chief boatswain mate; Claude Wild, machinist mate; Clarence S. Evans, machinist mate; and R. A. Corcoran, quartermaster.
 Unwounded survivors are:
 Elmer Gleason, machinist mate; Elmer s. Kirby, electrician; Claude Kidney, quartermaster; Charles N. Thomas, seaman; and George B. Weigand, gunner mate.
 Vessels are searching the vicinity with the hope that other survivors still may be afloat.

 Mrs Hanchak said she discovered her loss this morning when she went to remove the money from its hiding place to pay the butcher for some meat she had ordered. She lost no time in reporting the matter to the detective bureau and Lieutenant James Dooley, acting in charge of the bureau, assigned Detectives Ma lone and Derrick to the case. Within two hours they had picked up the two men who are being investigated.

AvIATORS AGAIN
 RAID MANNHEIM
Chemical Factories Bom- barded, Frankfort Railway
 Stations Attacked.

London, Aug. 27.---The great chem teal factories at Mannheim and the railway station at Frankfort were successfully attacked Sunday night by the British Independent Air Force, according to an official communica- tion issued last night.
 All the British machines returned safely to their base
 The British Independent Air Force operating on the West front lost seven airplanes in the booming of Mannheim last Thursday. The frank report of this loss has caught the public imagination here.
 The outstanding feature of the ex- ploit was the heroic determination of the British squadrons. They were heavily attacked as they flew to their objective. they knew that equally stern fighting would await them on their way back, but nothing daunted them. One newspaper says: Tt takes more than the risk of dan ger to halt British airmen when they have made up their minds to reach an objective.''
 It is pointed out that the Germans were in largely superior numbers and 1 had only to think of fighting, whereas | the British had both fighting and | bonn ping to attend to-. The odds were all on the German side, but the Brit | ish aviators reached Mannheim and
 did their job.
 Newspaper editorials point out that | the bombing was we'll worth the risk, | for Mannheim is the centre of the | great chemical industry, and the raid | is believed to have done damage
 which will compel the German arm-
 ies, for a time at least, to do without
 supplies of war chemicals from that 1 quarter.
 The British aviators did not suffer without hitting back, the newspapers also point out, for three German fight | ing planes were beaten down. | Officially 1t is noted that the Ger mans are now making most deter mined efforts to protect their towns by concentrating large numbers of fighting machines and anti-aircraft guns. Commenting on the raid, a
 British air officer said today:
 ''We suffered losses, but we won a
 splendid victory. We set out to bomt could frustrate our intention.'

OUR NAVY TO
 LEAD BY 1921
Secretary Daniels Lets It Be Known War Has Speeded
 Up Big 1916 Programme.

Washington, Aug. 27-Data obtain ed yesterday indicates clearly that by 1921 the United States will have the most effective navy in the world.
 It has been generally supposed that the Navy had suspended work on the great five-year construction pro- gramme of 1916, which contemplated the earliest possible commissioning of ten superdreadnaughts and eight bat tie cruisers. Secretary Daniels, how ever, said today the preliminary work was in progress, notwithstanding the emergency work which became neces- sary on other lines when the United States entered the war.
 The statistics of shipbuilding at the Navy Department show that aside from the capital ship construction, the government has building and will have completed 1,700 ships available for war purposes in 1921. At least 800 of these will be afloat before the close of the present year.
 It was stated today that the pri- mary object of the navy programme of 1918 was to make a navy "second to none in the world" The war, how ever, with it's forced demands on American shipbuilding, bids fair to make the United States Navy easily the first in the world.
 The original program called for a f1ve-year period of completion. That was narrowed down to three years, but the rush work on torpedo destroy CTS and submarine chasers has dem onstrated to the experts that with the war well out of the way in 1919, it will be possible with all the labor and material at hand to complete the whole program and more if necessary by 1921.
 That program called for 10 battle ships of the most approved and mod ern type with a certain calibre guns; eight battle cruisers (the first of that type to be built by the United States) i; 50 destroyers and about 80 subma- rines. The destroyer program was not suspended, but accelerated.
 Exact figures are not permissible, but the torpedo construction has in creased enormously because of tha concentration on that type. This was ouOplco dS LlS pIAHI0 SSSGllldl Ly pc just as soon as the United States saw that the submarine menace was the first thing to be removed.
 All naval officials believe the Ger man grand fleet will be removed even for purposes of comparison after the war. Before 1914 England was easily first, Germany second and the United States third. The predictions now as to the place the United States will fill in the naVR history of the world are, the authorities say, certain to be rea 1izad

Refuse Commission
 To Draft Doctors

Hartford, Aug. 27.-Major John Buckley, in charge of administering the selective draft in Connecticut, has Received a copy of letter sent by Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder to the office of the surgeon general, in which General Crowder requests that con- missions for doctors who are connect ed with local and district draft boards and medical advisory boards be re- fused until it is determined whether the doctor is no indispensable as @ member of the selective service sys- tenn. General Crowder points out that in the next few months nearly 14,- 900, 900 men will have to be registered and hundreds of thousands examined, and that it is essential that the draft system be left unhampered for the increased amount of work. General Crowder declares that he does not wish Ito hinder the use of available men for general army service" but he must preserve his own organiza- tion.
 The surgeon generals office has re- piled to the provost marshal that the present arrangement will render more than lS,UUU D16ulCdl lIlOIl lLdN oAlLDlO for commissioned service, and it is suggested that some more economical method of examining registrants might be devised. Draft boards have been cautioned not to release any competent and neqessary examiner until his case has been taken up at the executive chambers.
 General Crowder has also issued a protest against the practice of cer- tain draft boards of sending men who have been rejected at one camp for physical disability to another camp on a subsequent call. General Crowder points out that such men are likely to be rejected at the second camp, and that as a result unnecessary transpor- tation expense Is brought upon the government. In cases of doubt the matter should be taken up with the camp commander
 A copy of cablegram received at the war department from General Pershing was sent to Major Buckley Saturday. General Pershing says that the number of mental defectives re- ceived in recent replacement units in France suggests the importance of eliminating the mentally unfit from draft organizations before their de- parture for France.

RETURNED GERMAN
 PRISONERS MAKE. POOR SOLDIERS

With the French Army in France, Sunday, Aug. 25-(By the Associated Press) 1.-The German soldiers releas- ed from captivity in Russia have be- gun to arrive on the western front, it has been learned from prisoners captured in recent battles.
 One hundred of these men who re- turned to Germany through the Ukraine were sent to a reserve di- vision. Eighteen deserted before the dachment got out of Germany, while three were killed in jumping from a railroad train. The others reached their destination in a refractory mood. All the prisoners from this division agreed that the men returned from Russia make the poorest kind of endorsements. They not only are ill-humored, it is declared, but resent all discipline.
