 SALVACED OFF IRISH COAST

PORTSALON, Ireland, Aug. 25 Correspondence of Associated Press) -Salvaging $35,OOO,OOO worth of gold ingots and bullion the White Star liner Laurentic is reported to ahave carried when she was sunk the night of January 25, 1917, off Fanad light, one of the northermost headlands of Ireland at the entrance to Lough Swilly, is being conducted by the sal wage ship Racer.
 The princely cargo lay at a depth of twenty-tWo fathoms. The gold and bullion were contained in the strong chamber amidships rendered almost impregnable by it's thick steel walls and heavily-bolted doors. At first, portions of the Laurentic's deck were blasted away and passage was made clear for the divers. On June 20, the retrieving of the treasure began.
 The first bucket sent up contained only copper pennies and few silver coins. Then for several days, bucket after bucket containing three or more gold bars, each worth more than S5OOO. were hoisted to the surface and dumped on the deck of the Racer. The first of these bars brought lusty cheers from the crew of the salvage ship, but tossing fortunes about soon came to be merely another form ot manual labor to these sailormen. Most of the gold bars were nine inches long, two inches thick and four inches wide and weighed about twenty-eight pounds. For days not one was found as many of them were hurled clear of the wreck by the blasting necessary to make the strong chamber accessible. Several feet Of sand have now been washed over these scattered bars and beneath masses of twisted steel and it ire quently requires hours of patient labor to pry them loose. The record days haul so far had been forty seven bars-Worth approximately $50,OOO. Thus far several million dollars worth of treasure has been salvaged.
 The Racer carries eigh divers. Their tricks" are so arranged that one diver is at work throughout the day. Each works half an hour and then must spend thirty minutes in coming to the surface as otherwise the sudden relief from the tremen- dous deep-water pressure might cause partial or complete paralysis.

VIENNA, Aug. 30 Correspondence of Associated Press).-Cool nights and chill autumnal rains are begin hing to bring Vienna and all Austria face. to face with the fuel famine that looms along with the food short age. Today this great city has a reserve of only 5000 tons. Not a hospital has been able to arrange it's winter supply.

Warm houses and hot water are among the other -luXuries unknown.
 Czechoslovakia has coal for export and contracts have been made by the Austrians for all they can get, but the delivery is slow and the whole matter seems clouded with difficulties and complications.
