perienced by ]. L. Bender. with K. of
c. in France, he says In letter to his
aunt, Miss Anna varley, 206 South

The letter follows:
1.-THE censorship has been lifted and
we are allowed to tell where we were

to see the town and then was assigned
and sent out to the 91st Division,

California and Oregon and Washing

Barbecue and from there went to
Rivigny.
After an uneventful trip up through
France we arrived at Ypres, where the
British and Huns had battled for four
years and that country was surely
shot up. | marched from there with
the infantry through the mud that
was about the constance of gravy,
to the town OF Oostneiwkerke, about
twenty kilometres and we billetted
there for two days and opened by the
first K of c. Hut in Belgium.
The order came to move and We
moved out to chateau near Rumbeke
and the general secretary Of the divi-
sion assigned me to take care of the
361st regiment of infantry, and
moved over to that outfit which
camped a few kilometres from divi
sion p. c. and stayed there two days
and we were ordered to move move
on and the big guns were plainly
heard throwing their barrage over
every morning and the airplanes came
over every night and dropped bombs
near our camp and we could see the
air battles in the distance, but the
next move was a real thriller.
A peculiar thing happened while we
were in this town and 1t was unfortu
nate for one man, but lucky for about
twenty-five others, who were sleeping
in the same pile of straw out in the
open. A dud, which Is q she'll that

some fault in its construction, hit this
man on top Of his steel helmet while

pIoded it would have killed or wound

tBy Associated Press,

LONDON, Dec. 27.--The loss OF the
British decoy ship Dunraven In q
desperate battle with a German sub
marine. the story Of which has now
been made public by the British Ad-
miralty. constitutes one of the most
daring and heroic episodes OF the
anti-submarine war. With their YES

shells exploding every few minutes.
the after gun crew stuck to their gun
until the magazine exploded and blew
them and their gun into the air.
Meanwhile the battle with the sub.
marine was fiercely waged.
This action took place In August,
1917. The vessel was one Of the de-
coys which was commanded by Cap
tain Gordon Campbell. who had pre-
viously won the Victoria Cross by
heroic and successful work in decoy-
ing submarines to their destruction.
In her role Of an armed British mer-
chant ship, the Dunraven was zig
tagging her course In the lanes haunt
ed by the submarines when U-boat
opened fire upon her at 5000 yards.
The Dunraven returned the fire with
her merchant ship gun and reduced
her speed to enable the Hun to over
take her. To coax him on, wireless
signals were sent out reading: Help.
Come quickly. Submarine chasing and
Smelling me-"
Finally when the submarines shells
began falling close, the Dunraven
stopped and the usual panic party
abandoned the ship. The Dunraven
was then on fire aft and the sub
marine closed in to a distance OF 400
yards, but was partly obscured from
view by dense clouds Of smoke issuing
from the Dunraven's stern.
Although he knew that the maya
zine must explode If he waited, and
that a gun and a guns crew lay con-
cealed over the magazine, Captain
Campbell reserved his fire until the
submarine had passed clear OF the
smoke. A moment later there was a
heavy explosion and the Dunraven's
gun and It's crew were blown into the
air. The concussion sta rted gOngs at
the remaining gun positions The
screens hiding the guns were dropped
and the only gun that could be brought
to bear opened fire. The submarine
commenced to suhmerge. Knowing
that torpedo would surely follow.
Captain Campbell had all the wounded
brought up and concealed in cabine.
The after part OF the Dunraven was
n mass of flame but the crew fought
the fire with hose while wireless sig
nails were sent out warning all other
vessels to keep below the horizon so
as not to interrupt the final phase of
the fight.
Twenty minutes later another tor

for nearly an hour while the sub

the burning ship through his peri
scope. ..
During all that time boxes Of cor

few minutes and the fire was blazing
furously. Eventually the submarine
emerged astern where no guns could

shelled the Dunraven for twenty min
utes. The U-boat then steamed past
the ship $50 yards off and Campbell
fired one of his torpedos at her but
missed by few. inches. A second
torpedo also missed. The submarine
saw it and submerged. A third panic
party" was planning to jump over
board and leave one gun crew for a
final attempt to sink the U-boat when
British and American destroyers ar
rived on the scene. The Dunraven's
wounded were transferred. her guns
recalled and the fire extinguished.
The Dunraven, in a sinking condition
was taken In tow, but the weather
grew worse and on the following
morning she sank with her colors
