ABOARD SALVAGE STEAMER
SPRAY, OFF Norfolk, Va, August
IA series of battles with hungry
sharks has featured the past week $
operations of the divers who are at
tempting 10 salvage the $4,000, 900
treasure of the sunken steamship
Merida.
The divers, coming up from the 200
foot ocean depth, are compelled to
make long stops on the upward climb
in order 10 rid their bodies gradually
OF the effects of the terrific pressure
which they have endured on the ocean
floor. Three hours in all are required
to make the 200-foot ascent; otherwise
the men are certain to suffer terribly
from the dreaded bends" or caisson
disease, as soon az they reach the sur
face.
II is during this slow upward climb
that the sharks have been annoying
them, and they must be constantly
prepared with knife in hand to ward
them of and perhaps to fight for life.
Use Pork as DecOy.
The task OF the men on the boat
overhead Is TO draw the sharks away
from the diver by the use of decoys-
great hooks baited with choice morSels 5
of pork. Several small sharks have been
caught in this manner, but the climax
OF the hshlng seasoR was reached this
week, when WoTthfngton Davis the
Harvard athlete in comma nj of the
expedition, found ii l6-footer Soundly
hooked To his bait.
Seven men came TO assist Davis,
and after fierce struggle they hauled
the big fish up To the surface. Five
men went over the side in the launch

More than hundred shots were fired
into him before he capitulated. Then
he was hauled up on the afterdeck,

again in final struggle. He was
conquered by five men with fire axes

Dynamite Path In Ship
Meanwhile the diving operations
are progressing steadily. Examina-
ton of the sunken ship has shown
that the entire superstructure is a
mass of caved.in wreckage. To reach
the treasure 1t is necessary for the
divers to clear way cautiously

After nearly two months work
neither diver has succeeded in getting
nearer than about 40 feet to the

pounds of gold and silver bullion are
awaiting. The successful recovery
of the treasure is expected within an
other month.

Expected.
BY the Associated Press.

hN lne Associated tFeSs.
Some progress was made today in
the Belgian debt funding negotiations.
The discussion has reached the point
where actual terms of d proposed set
tlement We're under examination.
There were indications that the way
had been found not quite as smooth
as expected, but the commission still
appeared to be optimistic.
The proposition made yesterday by
the visitors and rejected by the Amer
leans forms the starting point from
which the discussion of terms will
proceed. Just how far apart the COM
missions are was not disclosed, but
some members OF the American com
mission expressed the opinion that
the negotiations might be concluded
this week.
Result Was Expected.
Officials said it was not 10 be expect
ed that the first proffer of settlement
would he agreed to. calling to atten-
tion that the initial offer by Great
Britain likewise had been found un-
acceptable, but served as a basis from
which the commissions were able TO
reach an agreement without particu.
lar difficulty.
The terms which the visitors pre-
sented we're not disclosed, nor would
the American commissioners indicate
whether moratorium and division
of the war and postwar debts had
been requested. Before the parleys be.
gan il was indicated that Belgium
might ask for period in which there
would be no payment OF principal ana
interest and also for separate treat
ment for the war and postwar debts.

AFEEL|NG OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder medicine.
The same standard Of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs,
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
It is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sa', at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
