SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13 (U. P.). —Three U. S. cruisers, lost in an engagement off the Solomon islands Aug. 8-9, fought a furious battle at close quarters with Japanese ‘vessels in the glare of searchlights, flares ‘and exploding shells, survivors said today. The battle was described here by Lynn F. Hager, seaman first class, from Marquez, Tex., who was on the sky control watch of the cruiser Astoria when the battle began. A navy communique released last night = disclosed that .the cruisers Astoria, Vincennes and: Quincy were lost in the engagement. The ships were. patrolling outside Tulagi harbor when Hager heard an airplane motor, He sent a message to the bridge. Then flares streamed through the cloud ceiling, lighting up the ship, and a searchlight was turned on'it.

Shells Strike Astoria

The light snapped off, Hager said, and almost at the same instant, the first .enemy shells crashed into the Astoria. His story: “We'd been fighting constantly since the beginning of the Tulagi battle 36 hours before. We had expected a Jap naval force the next morning and we needed rest. “When I first heard the plane I relayed the alarm to the bridge and suggested general quarters, but. the captain said ‘No,’ that he had to let the men rest ‘awhile. Soon after that the planes came. back. The flares broke through. ‘The clouds

were thick and we couldn’t see: the

Why God “Permits War!

Why does God permit war? Why does He permit cruelty, injustice, pain, starvation, sickness and death? Thirty yeéars ago, in Forbidden Tibet, behind the highest mountains in the world, a young Englishman named Edwin J. Dingle found the answers to these questions. A great mystic opened his eyes. A. great change came over him. He realized the strange Power that Knowledge gives. ‘That Power, he says, can transform the life of anyone. Questions, whatever they are, can be answered. The problems’ of health, death, poverty and wrong, can be solved, In his own case, he was brought back to splendid health. He acquired wealth, too, as well as world-wide professional ‘recognition. Thirty

. years ago, heewas sick as a man|

could be and live. Once his coffin was bought. tinuous tropiéal fever, broken bones, near blindness, privation and danger had made a human wreck of him, physically’ and mentally. + He was about tu be sent back to England to die, when a strange message camé—“They are waiting for you in Tibet.” He wants to tell the whole world what: he learned there, under /the guidance of the greatest. mystic he ever encountered during his twenty-one years in the Far East. e wants everyone to experience the greater health -and the Power Which there came to

him Within ten’ years, he was able to

tune. He has been honored by fellowships in the World's leading geographical societies, for his work as a geographer. And today, 30 years later, he is still so athletic, capable of so much work, so young in appearance, it is hard to believe he ‘has lived so long.

flares until they got down close to us. “The first salvo hit us while some of the men were still: running to their stations. Right at the :beginning, they knocked out one of our turrets. As soon as their searchlights picked us:up. we: turned and started firing to pert. “It seemed to mb that the ships were coming at us from both sides. Just then, over from the island on the west of us, another searchlight caught us. Our’ commander cut loose at the light and aftér a few minutes it went up in a big puff. “Lieut. Comm. E. K. Wakefield was directing the firing. He had lost his binoculars and asked to borrow ‘mine. He took a.look and said, ‘Well, that's one Jap who'll. never throw another ‘shell at us’ “But we kept getting hit. Bullets and steel were flying everywhere. Men - up on the sky control kept, dropping. They were scattered around the decks. One of the officers went down to take some of the men from sick bay; but after a bit he came back quietly, There wasn’t any sick bay left. It had got a direct hit.

Sharks Peril Survivors

“After we had. fought the ship .as long as we could, we finally decided we'd better get down on’ deck before we were trapped. After I:got down, I started helping them move the wounded. One of the life rafts was torn away. It seemed to be floating in good condition, so-I dove over to get it and I didn’t get back to, the ship. When a destroyer came up on us

a Jap, fixing to machine gun.us. I told the men on my raft; ‘If they come up on us this way, with us all’ packed up, ‘we'll. .be easy pickings. Let’s leave the raft and ‘scatter over the water.” Most of them wanted to stay on the raft. But two'ather fellows swam off with. me. “We ‘soon found that it’ was our destroyer. They said the sharks were after a wounded officer and they machine gunned them to save him, I don’t know whether is was a shark or not, but while it was out there in the water, I saw a big white streak heading for me, and I did some fast swimming to get to the raft. I never saw the two men who swam off with me after that.”

ORGANIZATION DRIVE BY UMW IS UNLIKELY

CINCINNATI, 0., Oct. '13 ws P). —Veterans ‘of the United Mine Workers of America doubted today that the union would engage in any vast organization drive even though its membership has been opened to outside industries. : The miners’ union, which broke away from the A. F. of L. to form the C. I. O. and then withdrew from the C. I. O, has opened its ranks to workers in “such other industries as may be designated and approved by the international executive board.” This power, and the privilege of taking in mine supervisory employees, were set forth in amendments to.the U.-M. W.. constitution adopted by delegates to the 37th bi-ennial convention yesterday. Delegates act today on an amendment changing the name of the U. M. W.’s Gas, By-Product; Coke and Chemical Workers, District 50, to “District 50, United Mine Workers.” ~The union’s scale committee delayed its report on wage proposals.
