Tugboat and Four Barges
Attacked Yesterday
Crews Escaped
THOUGH FIRED ON
IN SMALL BOATS
Firing Attracted Thousands of Persons
to the Beach from Which Outline of

ORLEANS, Mass, July 22.-An enemy
ernmost point of Cape Cod yesterday,
sank three barges, set fourth and their
tug on fire and dropped four shells on
the mainland. The action lasted an hour
and was unchallenged except for two by
droplanes from the Chatham aviation sta
ton, which creled over the U-boat, eaus-
ing her to submerge only to reappear and
resume firing.
The crews of the tow, numbering Al,
and including three women and five chill

boats Several were wounded, but only
one seriously This happened to be John
Botovich, an Austrian member of the
crew of the tug. His right arm near the
shoulder was torn away by a fragment
of shell The minor injuries of the 9th
ers were from shell splinters.
The barges were being towed by the
tug Perth Amboy, owned by the Lehigh

Gloucester for New York One was load

being on their return trip after carrying
cargoes Of coal to New England The at
tack was without warning and only the

| The attack took place three miles south
of the Orleans Coast Guard Station, which

bow and Highland Light, at the extreme

postmasters are informed that the term
reglmental commander has reference to
an officer in command of a regiment or

unit. The war department has advised
this Office that in MANY instances a lieu
tenant colonel or major may be acting
as such commanding officer. and there
fore a request for articles duly approved
by an officer who is ma Ior or of higher
rank than major is regarded as meeting
the requirements of order No. 1853
When the approval of a regimental officer
is authenticated by staff officer, the
name of the former should appear above
the signature of the latter, as, for ex-
ample:
Approved by order of

THE war department also has advised
! that an officer may not approve his own
request for articles unless he is a regi-
mental or higher commander having au-
thority to approve requests in general,
and that officers not assigned to regi-
| mcnts should obtain the approval of
commanders higher in rank than regi-

Dogs that have been trained to work
with. the ambulance corps have per-
formed wonderful work in seeking and
locating the wounded. There is anoth-
err class of dogs called conveys. They
are used to pull small mitrailleuses
and sleighs. Other dogs are delegated
to the job Of killing rats in the
trenches, and they do 1t we'll.
All kinds Of dogs, from the mongrel
to the animal with a pedigree, are
used in the service. The breeds in
Newfoundland dogs, %collies. bobtails,
Abstain dogs, fox terriers. Scotch ter
riers, Irish terriers, Dandy Dinmonts.
Aberdeen terriers, English bulldogs
and skye terriers.
AT-of these dogs were given volun-
tarily to the French ministry of war
for the duration of the hostilities.
The animals have to pass an exam
ination just like soldiers and nurses
before they are sent to the front. They
are examined by a special board be-
training camps.
After carefully inspecting the bow
WOW situation at n Of these dog
training camps. I came to the conclu-
sion that the average purp has the
same hero-makings as a man.
Hundreds of dogs engaged in cou-
rier work and the rescue of the
wounded have already given up their
lives in this war.
AS couriers the dogs carry import
ant dispatches from one military unit
to the other over country that is eX-
posed to heavy shell fire. They carry
the messages more quickly than a SOL
der can do it, and a dog will go into
places where the average man Would
not dare to venture.

sage two miles through a shell inferno

EXEMPTION CLAIMS

1t Is not an easy matter to arrange the selection of
men for military service in such a manner that those best
fitted for the service will be placed in the army, and
that those most needed at home will remain there. Cen
eral Crowder suggests that dependents of registrants fill
out exemption claim blanks if these are not filled uut
by the registrants themselves, as experience shows that
many who are really needed at home fail to claim ex-
emption on sentimental grounds. There is no doubt that
this tendency exists. In many a case a man dislikes to
file claim for exemption for fear that he will be consid-
cred a Stacker. If he is therefore accepted for service
he is withdrawn from a place where he is needed, and,
perhaps, some other man with no special reason for do
ing SO, remains at home.
There may be practical reasons why the plan will
not work, but on the face of it, it seems that the whole
question of classification should be left entirely to the
government authorities, without either request or sug-
gestion from the registrant. A man does not file a claim
Tor exemption because he has a wooden leg. The govern
ment, through its appointed agents, ascertains how many
legs he has, and in what condition they are, and acts
accordingly.
should not be followed in the case Of dependency, or
anything else. The registrant. under this plan, would be
required to state whether or not he has DEPENDENT, and
If so how many, and the nature of their dependency. and
there the matter would rest, so far as he is concerned.
If the board found that the facts relating to his depen-
automatically be, placed in a deferred classification. The
would supply, the facts, and the government
would do the rest.

at verdun. The dogs jaw was frac-
tured by a shell fragment, but the
plucky animal carried out his mission
in spite of the wound. When l saw
Zip" his jaw was in splints, and he
was on the road to recovery and ac-
tive service again.
All Of the intelligence Of the canine
is brought to the fore in the work of
the ambulance dog. After the ambu-
lance dog finds a wounded man he
brings in the mans cap and then
leads the ambulance drivers or
stretcher bearers to the spot in No
Mans Land where he has discovered
the fallen soldier. Dogs Of >superintel-
ligence have been trained to attract
