The reports to Gen. ,Biddle, while

The MOunsey was veered off several

In like an old tin can. Her engineer
signaled to Lieut.. Craven that the de-
go down if another effort was made to
run alongside the big ship. But Craven
took the chances. He manipulated the
little ship with great skill and got
another hundred American soldier
boys. In all he saved about 600, Ieav-
ing only 357 to perish, and nearly all
these were lost in the effort to jump
from the big ship to the little de-
stroyer.

but 1t was done.
Was FearfuIIy Battered.
A British admiral In discussing the
matter with mssin London Just after
1t occurred said, few destroyers could
have stood the strain. He could only
account for her standing the pounding
against the sides of the Otranto by the
fact that her hull was cold riveted
and that she bent without the giving
away of the riyet heads.
l saw her afterward tied up in Bel
fast. She was fearfully bent in, like
a battered tin, thing, but not torn open.
The heads of the rivets held.
1t was different with the Kashmere
which L afterward saw in Glasgow
Her bow was crushed in. The rivet
heads had given away and the plates
opened up. She had been hot riveted.
English naval officers are giving
study to this rivet question, and are
preparing report to the admiralty
for future consideration in the build
ing of destroyers.
In the meantime all America owes
a debt Of gratitude to Lieut.. Craven.
But for his pluck and seamanship not
a man from the Otranto would have
lived to tell the tale.

PLAN TO BUY BATTLEFIELDS
Member of French Chamber of Depu-
ties Proposes Avenue Of Trees
to Honor Dead.

Paris.-The Rev. Father Lemire,
who sits in the chamber of deputies
from the department of the Nord,
moved his fellow members in the cham
Der by speech proposing that an ave-
nue. of trees be planted along the en-
tire battle front, which would serve
as place of pilgrimage for those who
do not know where their dead fell.
He asked that the government buy
the battlefields and make forest from
the North sea to the Vosges noun
tains.
Albert Lebrun, minister of the in
vaded regions, in replying for the gov
eminent, said that every honor would
be done the dead. Cemeteries, he said,
would be laid out at points where the
fighting was heaviest and entire battle
fields would be transformed into ma
tional monuments.

You must have regular movements and be
sure to keep out worms like Stomach worms
