Gaunt Skeleton

PARIS, Aug. 14.-Two features
Of the Anglo-French advance partic-
ularly delight Parisians and the Al
lies within their gates. These fea-
lures are the capture Of Chevincourt,
about forty-five miles from the cap
ital and hitherto the nearest point Of
the present battle front to Paris, and
the bringing under FIRE Of the Allied
guns the Bertha OF Berthas known
to be installed between Ham and
Guiscard.
French troops already are at Ribe-
court, some three miles beyond Chew
incourt. The Allies victorious ad-
vance was uninterrupted during the
three days. It was yesterday only
that the Germans began to offer des-
perate resistance along the Chaulnes-
Roye-Lassigny line. This did not
stop Marshal Foch's men from con-
tinuing their methodical progress to-
ward Roye and Lassigny, the latter
town being on the point of falling,
if not already in their hands.
The British, too, have been coun-
ter attacked in the Lihons region,
but they brushed aside the resistance,
held their ground there, and north Of
the Somme advanced further toward
Bray.
The Germans crowded in Lassigny,
with the Allies at the gates, had what
is perhaps their most terrible ex-
perience when 12O bombing planes
flew over the town and dropped
about 10000 pounds Of explosives on
the troop-flled streets.
The enemy had gathered huge
quantities Of artillery supplies In
stalled in the big munition dumps
along the Chaulnes-Perronne-Ham
line. 1t is for this reason he Is now
fighting fercely to stem the tide and
gain time to remove this valuable
material. But Foch is doing precise
ly all he can to prevent ct at least
to hinder, this operation. Allied
airmen hayeacut all the bridges be-
tween Peronne and Ham and baked
all the enemy's efforts to improvise
crossings.
The main roads of communication,
thanks to the work Of the flying
forces, are rendered an inferno for
the Germans,

=. HoAmAn Dan HOweu At home
Dan w. Rowell. a seaman in the u.
8. Navy, was In town Tuesday. hav-
Ing been called home on account Of
the illness of his wife who died on
the 11th. leaving. besides her hus-
band. a nine-day old infant. Mr..
Rowell enlisted about IL months ago
and has made one trip across the
water. Talking with q Herald repre-
sentative Mr.. Rowell gaveea rather
graphic description Of his trip across
the water. The nrst Of last month he
was sent over on . submarine dee-
troyer and the trip was uneventful
until his ship got into the submarine
xone. His vessel had several thrill
Ing encounters with hostile craft and
the skill and bravery shown by the
American seaman was very credit
able. Mr.. Rowell said destroyer
was . difficult mark for a submarine.
Being z rather small bogt 1t is easily
maneuvered and the crew experfen-
ces little difficulty in eysding q tor
Dedo. Six men are kept on the watch
night and day. the watch being re-
heved every four hours. Mr.. Rowell
says the moment . periscope appears
above the water six pound gun Is
trained on II and II the shell hits any
where near the spot the explosive
power is 30 great that 1t tears a hole
In the vessel. Asked how submarines
were located on Q dark night Mr..
Rowell said the submarine periscope
carries q seach-light in the end and
the moment the periscope rises above
the water the man on watch detects
1t. He said the submarine was use
less at night without the search-light
- the man in the submarine could
not detect objects on the surface Of
the water without the light. Speak
OF conditions in England, Mr.. Roweil
said the people whom he met seemed
to be very much depressed. Business
was at q standstill and the store
sheives were practically empty. He
said We had not felt the first touch of
the war as yet; that 1t was pitiful to
zee old men and women standing
round the bulletin boards eagerly
watching the list Of killed. wounded
or missing as the names were posted.
There were scores Of women on every
street dressed In deep mourning.
many OF whom had lost sons. hus-
bands or fathers in battle. After
spending several days in this section
Mr.. Rowell will return to his ship.
Psymaster w. J. Carter. son Of Mr..
w. j. Carter Of Dillon. was on the
same ship on which Mr.. Rowell made
the return trip from England.

Search for Sunken Treasurer Coming
After the War

Some of the greatest hidden treas
ure hunts ever known will begin
when peace is declared. Then at
Lempts Will be made to retrieve the
precious cargoes OF the hundreds of
ships that have been sent to the bot
.om through sea warfare, observes
London Answers.
According to Lord Beresford, since
ne war began more than $500 Brit
sh. Allied and neutral ships have
'een sunk. This represents a tonnageI
= fsc >scccsSsiaerably more than 100000.
or course: afsat deal Of the cargo
of some Of these ships was p9fYs65blt
and Of comparatively trining value;
but mar were almost priceless ar
gosies.
Gold anu precious stones and rare
pottery and fsbrics from India: more
gold and precious stones from South
Africa: stu more gold, silver, and
diamonds. Copper and lead from
South America; silks and velvets.
from China; and. nearer home, quick
silver. copper. silk and oils from
Spain. Much Of this treasure, which
was continuously pouring on to the
shores OF Britain in the early days
OF the war. is now lying In hundreds
OF shattered bulks in the Atlantic. the
Pacific, the Mediterranean and the In
dian Ocean.
The law relating to the recovery of
property from the sea-"treasure
trove"-is very obscure and difficult
to interpret. With regard to vessels
wrecked near the coast. whose car
goes may be washer ashore, there is,
as a rule. no difficulty uDout estab-
fishing the ownership Of the vessel
and they are entitled to recover their
property after all salvage rights have
been satisfied.
But with regard to wrecks on the
nigh seas very difficult problem will
confront the Nation when peace
comes. especially when it is remem-
oered that thousands Of vessels have
gone to the bottom. and in many
cases there are no records of where
they were lost
But what is to prevent many ad-
venturous spirits with money from
equipping treasure hunting expedi-
tions after the war? Jules Verne and
Robert Louis Stevenson never wrote
OF such riches as now lie buried in
the bosom Of the ocean.
And what princely days they will
be for divers! OF late years experi-
enced drivers have been able to earn
from to $25 to $500 a week while en-
gagged on big and risky commission
But after the war divers ought to
be able to make large fortunes and
easily eclipse any previous records.
Probably the vast majority of the
wrecks will be beyond their reach-in
fathomless depths. But others that lie
near the coasts. not a great many
fathoms down. will offer a strong
temptation.
The record depth reached by divers
In modern times was achieved by two
British naval officers. who got down
to 21O feet, where the pressure was

nc weight to bear.-Evening World.
