IMPRESSIVE SCENE AT
ROULERS WHEN CITY
IS TAKEN BY FRENCH

With the Allied Armies in Bel
gium, Oct. Is (Tuesday)-There was
an impressive scene at Roulers in
Belgium when the place was taken,
A Frenhc major gathered the res
cued civilians and German prison
ers around a battered piano in the
square and as the shells screamed
overhead he played the "MarseiI-
laise.
Did YOU ever hear that before p
he asked the people OF the city, and
the civilians cheered themselves
hoarsc.
Roulers was in good condition al
ter the German retirement. East OF
the city the Ingelmunster road has
been crossed. 1t appears that the en-
envy withdrawal south OF the area
under attack will involve the whole
Lille salient.
Definite information has been re-
ceived that the Germans removed
Spanish and American rations worth
$4,000 francs before abandoning
Roulers. The civilians there ceased
rejoicing over their liberation long
enough to show the French troops
where there were some enemy mines
which were designed to destroy a
large part of the town. They also
revealed the hiding places of some
Germans.

SIT LIVES LOST ON
TRANSPORT OTRANTO
Death List Includes One Officer
and $50 American Soldiers.

Islay, Scotland, Sunday, Oct. IS.
According to figures compiled
here today and carefully checked
with army records, the total loss OF
life as a result OF the disaster to the
transport Otranto is 527.
These figures represent one Amer
can officer, Second Lieutenant Ber-
ME H. Coffman OF Robinson, ILL.,;
$50 American troops, l64 OF the OF
ranto's officers and crew and mem
bers OF the crew OF French fishing
boat.
Up to tonight 200 bodies had been
recovered. Only two were found
today. as the result OF a change in
the wind, which now, is blowing
strongly off shore and, according
to seafaring men, may keep the bod
les far out to sea. The bodies found
today were those of an American
soldier and a chief petty officer OF
the Otranto. The unidentified dead
include two Asiatics.
The work of recovering the re-
naming bodies OF victims of the
disaster washed up on the shore of
Islay Island is extremely difficult,
owing to the wreckage which fills
every crevice in the rocks.
