Morning and evening a boom Is rigged from the side of the ship sloping down to the water, and down it the men go to swim. Probably half of them go In the water. The other half lean over the lines and cheer. The water is cold and salty. If a swimmer stays too close to the sides of the ship, a little wave will come and slap him against the hard armor plate Therefore, most of the men swim out, followed by a lifeboat. Neither Would Give Way. Thursday afternoon during the swimming hour a group of swimmers climbing up the boom out of the water, met another group climbing down. The place was too narrow for both. Neither would give way. They stood there, balanced precariously on the narrow, swaying ledge. The supporting ropes gave way of a sudden, and the whol~ mass fell with It into the water. H. B. McClure, who was captain of the cross-country team at Harvard in 1#15, and is a strong swimmer, narrowly escaped being crushed under the falling

boom.

Then in the evening there are the "movies.” By 8 o’clock, after a stirring band concert, the men group together on the fore or aft deck, seated or lying on the decks clear back to the life lines. Who said men did not live well In the navy? Asparagus on toast, steaks, roasts, grapes, oranges, cantaloupes; these are items chosen at random from the menu of the last three days. . How Is It being a sailor? Nothing like It on earth—for a month. But when a man is getting along toward forty, he needs beds that give room to roil. But the answer is this: Every man who can will be back next year, bringing a couple of recruits with him, PASTORS ARE ASSIGNED.

OBSERVER TELLS OF CHARGE TWO BATTALIONS MADE.

DEFENSES OF GERMAN ARMY

GIRL LOST IN ILLINOIS STREET

i * $1.00

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, August 19 (via London), August 21.—What two battalions did and how they did it, was the most thrilling Incident of the last twenty-four hours of sensational fighting from the Ancre to the Somme. The struggle went on in freakish August weather with alternate cloudbursts and flashes of lightning, rainbows and sunshine. All along the line from the south of the Ancre the British' left their trenches while the French were hard at it on their right. Two battalions were on the left with more guns to help them probably than any two battalions that ever mad* a charge. One hundred cannon were engaged In making a curtain of fire on their front while others were busy with other details of the staff plan. Nothing in the whole offensive was so dramatically staged or came off with greater sucThe Germans still held on In their old first line trenches, where their machine guns brought up from undestroyed dugouts held up the British July 1, while the British right swung on this section as a pivot through Contalmaison and Pozieres to the summit of the ridge, burrowing forward as the guns blasted away. Angle of the British Line. Sharper and sharper grew the angle of the new British line to the old German first line, until on the map it looked impossible for troops to survive In such a salient. Nevertheless, the Germans stuck to those elaborate defenses of nearly two years’ preparation with dugouts thirty or forty feet underground, and every other detail of protection against all kinds of fire which army staffs can devise or labor build. Through galleries running from dugout to dugout the Germans had a subway for bringing up reliefs and food. They led a 1 regular life. At night those not on guard went to bed in their cellar bunks as comfortably as In Pullmans and during the day they played cards If not sent out Into shell craters to snipe Britishers. They had their machine guns ready as before should the British attempt to rush their homes. The British guns were pounding away yesterday afternoon as usual at this sector, which is called the Leipslc redoubt, when the British, thanks to a new system for taking care of machine guns and with a quick burst of artillery preparation covering their charge, appeared on the Jump through the doors of their dugouts. Through glasses they were visible to observers running about the maze of traverses like terriers searching for hat holes, their bayonets gleaming and puffs of smoke rising as they threw their bombs. Like Gambling House Raid. In one capacious dugout, equipped with beds, tables and cupboards, six officers and 170 men surrendered in a body and w r ere marched out after the manner of a crowd caught in a gambling house raided by the police. Some managed to escape from their dugouts by underground galleries. Others who could not escape, though surrounded tried to man their machine guns and were shot down. Still others fought to the death with bayonets and bombs. It is estimated 2,000 Germans caught in this trap by less than their own numbers were accounted for. When the Associated Press correspondent left corps headquarters, twelve officers and 600 Germans had been brought In as prisoners, /while more were being unearthed from their hiding places. The last of the small parties which held out with a ring of British around them, in brief but ferocious sieges, were surrendering. They bad hoped for a counterattack to rescue them, but the British had foreseen this and met it with blasts from artillery and machine guns they had immediately put in position for that purpose. Elsewhere the story was of many trenches gained, some lost and relentless action throughout, the Infantry laboring in the moist earth, fighting for the possession of water-logged shell craters, while the artillerists kept at their work, hot gun barrels sizzling from the rain. Trained on Counter-Attack. Once when the British .troops, caught by machine gun fire, had to yield a position and found a counter-attack developing, twenty seconds after their S. O. S. signal to the artillery commander, guns were trained on that counter-attack with a curtain of fire that sent It to cover. In the center the British have pushed closer to Martinpuich and have taken an orchard west of Delvllle wood, but the hottest work probably was on the right. Here the Germans kept on rein forcing and their guns never forgot Longueval. The British are equally Interested in making sure that no remaining bricks of Guillemont escape the attention of their artillery. The Germans were insistent on keeping a stone quarry on the edge of the town, but after a hand to hand argument which lasted many hours, the British took and kept

South of Guillemont the British were well forward in the village when aeroplane observers saw big forces of Germans moving forward in a counter-at-tack. There was another hurry call to the guns, of oourse, and they wiped out the first two lines of the advancing waves. The rest of the Germans took cover In a ravine. Following it they debouched and under the protection of their artillery struck the French left, which remained in an angle of woods, .forcing the British to yield some of the ground taken. Looking at the trench man at headquarters, it seems that the British now have Guillemont pretty well in the pinchers and are closing in on Glnchy. The French capture of Maurepas, which was most stubbornly defended, was a source of gratification to the British, who express themselves hs more than satisfied with yesterday’s and today’s work in the step by step offensive. TWO COMPJLETE JAIL TERMS Serve Sentence Imposed by Federal Court in Mall Casea. Glenn S. Murphy, of Kokomo, and Martin Deveney, of Indianapolis, were released today from the Marion county Jail after serving sentences Imposed by the federal court. Murphy was sentenced to serve thirty days, and was compelled to serve an additional thirty days because he was unable to pay court costs, for using the malls to defraud.

WASHINGTON. August 21. - General Funston in a recent report on the military situation in Mexico recommended that the American expedition under General Pershing be withdrawn. The war department asked General Funston to make a report on the military aspects of the situation for the Information of the joint commission which will discuss border problems. State department officials regretted the premature publication of General Funston’s conclusions, but indicated that this will not cause any alteration in the plans. Officials realize, it is understood, that the most pressing matter for discussion by the commission, from the Mexican viewpoifVt, will he the question of withdrawal or General Pershing’s expeditionary force. There was every indication that the commissioners, and later the administration, were expected to abide by the recommendations of the chief military adviser on border matters. May Hargper Commission. Publication of the fact that General Funston believes It wise to withdraw the troops may hamper the American commissioners, some officials think, in obtaining whatever guaranties they may ask of the Mexican government as to security of the border from bandit raids. It is believed the administration was fully prepared to arrange for the recall of General Pershing's force, since both state and war department officials are understood to share the views expressed in General Funston’s report. There can be little doubt, it is said now, that the withdrawal will be promptly agreed to when the commission meets, the conferees then turning their attention to the drafting of a protocol to cover future border operations, investigation of the causes of bandit raids and such other matters as they may wish to consider. Naming of Comnvssioners. No intimation came from the White House as to- when announcement of the American membership of the commission might be expected. In view of Secretary Lansing's recent assurances to Ellseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, that the commission could be assembled very soon, it was believed that the names of the commissioners would be made public early next week. Secretary Lane, who will head the delegation, already nas accepted the post, and as soon as his associates have been named and their views as to the meeting place ascertained, an agreement on that point will be reached by Secretary Lansing and Mr. Arredondo.
