One boat was sunk by shrap- nel fire from the submarine and the survivors were sprayed with shrapnei while they were in the water waiting for the other boats to pick them up. The official narrative says that the submarine commandér went along side of the Addah’s life boats and made use of her to send some of the crew of the submarine on board the Addah just before the steamer sunk. When the submarine’s crew had been returned to their craft, the officer in command of the life boat was or- dered to move away from the subma- rine. “By this time,” the official state- ment reads, “‘the boat commanded by the captain of the Addah which al- ready was badly smashed by one of the shells from the submarine, was about three or four hundred yards away from the German craft.” “The submarine again opened fire on \the captain’s boat with shrapnel, killing eight men and taking the boat’s stern off. Bven after the boat had been sunk and the men were swimming in the water, the subma- rine shelled them with shrapnel. When the German thought he had finished ,everybody who was in the captain’siboat, he then opened fire on the chief}officers’ boat, firing eight shrapnel. Fortunately nobody was killed, but only holing the boat, breakingrthe oars and wounding sev- eral men, slightly. “After this the submarine com- mander waved to the chief officer to go over to the position where the captain asd several other people were swimming about to pick them up, and the submarine then went away on the surface. “The captain and the remainder of the men were then picked up and taken aboard the chief officer’s boat, and were eventually picked up by a French patrol steamer. “This,” the statement adds, “is a fineland gallant record for seamen of the 'nation that claims to be fighting for\ “The Freedom of the Seas.” Forced to Salute Dummy. Stockholm, June 30.—The special correspondent. of a Stockholm paper writes\ from the German front in to “disrespectful Frenchmen who did not know the Prussian method of greeting their superior.” They were brought into a large room and compelled for two hours at a.stretch to pass and repass a Ger- .man officer’s stuffed uniform, salut- ing each time they passed it and saying respecttully “Bon jour, mon- sieur V'officier.” A sentinel .with fixed bayonet stood near to .see that the salutations were \properly’ made. Stripping Belgium of ‘Wire. Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 30. —_The Germans are requisitioning wire, and particularly barbed-wire, all over Belgium, according to the latest news from the frontier. The retention of only one Wwire is al- lowed, tovmark off the division of the fields. They are likewise breaking up more and more car tracks and light railroads, carrying off the rails and sleepers, as well as cars and locomo- tives. Reforestation of Britain. London, July 30.—Tt is planned to spend ' between five and six million pounds’ sterling within the next ten years for re-forestation in the United Kingdom. The reconstruction com- mittee has an elaborate plan in hand for re-planting, especially in Ireland where the areas have been denuded for timber for pit-propos. SILENT NIGHT ARMY RATIONS SOLDIERS " IBATH OF'SHRAPNEL |THOUSAND MILES FROM THE DEEP SEA, BUT THEY LEARN TO BE U. S. SAILORMEN More than 10,000 young men from the colleges, factories, farms and of- fices of the middle west are learning at the United States naval training station at Great Lakes, Ill, far from the tang of salt water, to be sailors, and many of them have not even seen the sea. Although there abutting the training station at is Lake Michigan, its | +very doorway, it is surprising what one can learn about navigation and nautical tactics without even setting ! foot on shipboard—in fact, from the training at the station it would seem that all the rudiments of naval life’ are learned on dry land. In the middle of a grassy field arc scattered the working parts of a battleship. On a swinging platform there is a steering wheel, with its | creaking rope, and rigged with a naval compass. Here the recruit get Yn‘l the sensations of the pitching seas while he holds her headed into the teeth of 2 booming ‘“‘sou’wester.” This 'is shown at No. 1 in the pictures. 1 Upon this fleld a large number of !'the men who have been sent into the Inavy since the declaration of war !against Germany have been devel- | oped from raw material into deep sea sailormen. Since the establishment of the station about 20,000 have been sent to sea from there, and all of them have been trained on dry land. The commandant of the station is \(,a;)(au\ William A. Moffett, U. S. N. (No. 2 in pictures.) No. 3 shows practice in lowering and raising boats. utes later the whole column is stand- ing ready, silent, the transport men mounted, the quartermaster, transport officer and a sergeant on foot. In an- other instant a whistle sounds, there is a cracking of whip, then another clat- ter on the cobblestones and the rum- ble of heavily laden wagons as the whole column moves out toward the trenches. A few miles ahead the first star- shells shoot up and little sudden pricks of flame come from the enemy’s guns, then there is soft burst of shrapnel followed by the deep boom of the heavy guns. The road is narrow but wide enough for the limbers of other regiments, cookers, ambulances, army service corps lorries laden with tools and trench stores, orderlies on bicycles and wounded men to pass on their way further back of the lines. But not a word is heard as the two col- umns pass each other along this road. As the column ‘“going in” with the rations moves up closer to the lines the star shells and boom of the big guns becomes more distinct. Sudden- GOVERNOR OF TEXAS 1S INDICTED ON SERIOUS CHARGES Moves Quietly Along in Darkness to Support Trenches Behind the British Lines in France, July 20 — (Correspondence) — What makes an indelible impression on the newcomer to the battlefront is the tre- mendous organization back of the ac- tual fighting line, the mules of road- ways dotted with transport of war food for men and horses, shells for the guns, ammunition for rifles and ma- chine guns and comforts for the wounded. The final and most interesting link in this vast organzation is the opera- tion of getting the food right up to the men in the trenches. It usually takes place under cover of darkness when the enemy is unable to impede its progress as efficiently as with the aid of daylight. Night after night this goes on. After one recovers from sur- prise at the quietness with which it is done he is bound to marvel at the clock-like precision of the whole op- eraton—all of which testifies to the efficent organization necessary in a war like this. The first intimation that the trans- port is preparing to move out toward the front line is a clattering of horses shoes on the cobbles of a French farmyard. Then voices call out orders, watercarts are filled; horses are har- nessed to the wagons and a few min- JAMES E- FERGUSON »= Additional interest in the proposal to bring in a bill of impeachment against James E. Ferguson, governor of Texas, by the state house of rep- resentatives, calling to meet Aug. 1, was given by the grand jury of Travis county, which returned nine indict+ ments against the governor, seven on charges of misapplication of public funds, one of embezzlement and one of diversion of public funds. He gave bond of $5,000 in one case and $1,000 in ach of the other cases. Immediately following his arrest en these charges Governor Ferguson an- nounced his candidacy for a third term as governor. e ly the column halts—shells have burst in the road or on either side of it a little way ahead. When this ceases probably for only a few minutes the word is given to move on again. The column continues to crawl along until it reaches a battered old building be- side the road and within a stone's throw of the support trenches. Here are left the supplies brought up by this column. The next sight is a stream of men ! with picks and shovels and ammuni- tion; a sergeant to see that the rations for the different companies are placed { rying hither and thither in search of D company’s letters, which have been mislaid; and the transport officer and | quartermaster supervising and con- | trolling eve always in the most impenet darkness, save when a star-shell lights up the white faces, the sweating horses and the roads. The transport officer gives the word and the empty wagons jolt out onto in different piles; a post-corporal hur- | WHEN YOUR NEWSBOY FAILS TO LEAVE YOUR HERALD ’Phone WESTERN UNION And paper will be sent promptly to you by messenger.
