Daring Battle Between English Decoy

Ship and U-Boat is Made Public

(By Associated Praa) ' LONDON. Dec. 27. The loss of the British, decoy ship Dunraven la a desperate battle with a German submarine, the Btory of which has now been made public by the British Admlralty. constitutes one of the most ' daring and heroic episodes of the anti-submarine war. With their vessel ablaze, and boxes of cordite and shells exploding every few minutes, the after gun crew stuck to their gun until the magazine exploded and blew them and their gun Into the air. Meanwhile the battle with the submarine was fiercely waged. This action took place In August, 1917. The vessel was one of the decoys which was commanded by Caplain Gordon Campbell, who bad previously won the Victoria Cross by heroic and successful work in decoying submarines to their destruction. In her role of an armed British, merchant ship, the Dunraven was zigzagging her course In the lanes haunt

ed by the submarines when a U-boat opened fire upon her at 6,000 yards. The Dunraven returned the fire with her merchant ship gun and reduced her speed to enable the Hun to overtake her. To coax him on, wireless signals were sent out reading: "Help. Come Quickly. Submarine chasing and shelling me." Finally when the submarine's shells began falling close, the Dunraven stopped and the usual "panic party" abandoned the ship. The Dunraven was then on fire aft and the submarine closed in to a distance of 400 yards, but was partly obscured from view by dense clouds of smoke issuing from the Dunraven's stern. Although he knew that the magazine must explode if he waited, and that a gun and a gun's crew lay concealed over the magazine, Captain Campbell reserved his fire until the submarine had passed ' clear of the smoke. A moment later there was a heavy explosion and the Dunraven's gun and Its crew were blown Into the air. The concussion started gongs at the remaining gun positions. The screens hiding the guns were dropped and the only gun that could be brought to bear opened fire. The submarine commenced to submerge. Knowing that a torpedo Lwould surely follow. Captain Campbell had all the wounded brought up and concealed In cabine. The after part of the Dunraven was a mass of flame but the crew fought the fire with hose while wireless signals were sent out warning all other vessels to keep below the horizon so as not to interrupt the final phase of the fight. Twenty minutes later another torpedo struck the ship abaft the engine room. Another "panic party" was Kent a way In the boats, leaving t he ship apparently completely abandoned 1 with the British flag flying and her guns unmasked, but Captain Campbell and a handfull of officers and men had remained on board and lay hidden for nearly an hour while the submarine commander held off watching the burning ship through his periscope. During all that time boxen of cordite and shells were exploding every frw minutes and the fire was blazing furiously. Evontually the submarine emerged astern where no guns could ATHLETIC REFORMS ARE CONSIDERED NEW YORK. Dec. 27.

Inches. A second torpedo also missed. The submarine saw it and submerged. A third "panic party" was planning to jump overboard and leave one gun crew for a final attempt to sink the U-boat when British and American destroyers arrived on the scene. The Dunraven's wounded were transfered, her guns recalled and the fire extinguished. The Dunraven, In a sinking condition was taken in tow, but the weather grew worse and on the following morning she sank with her colors flying. On The Screen WASHINGTON. Constance Talmadge's stay at Holly-' wood, California, where she is making several pictures In her Select Star Series, is doubly pleasing to her because through It she is spending many happy hours with her best pal. When Miss Talmadge first came to California and gained her earliest experience before the camera, Bbe made fast friends with Dorothy Glsh, who was working with her in 'nl'tolerance," and the two girls had many happy times together. Constance Talmadge's latest Select Picture, "Good Night, Paul!" will be the feature attraction here today and tomorrow at the Washington theater. It is a bonanza of comedy, a photoplay of a thousand laughs, adapted from the current stage success of the same name and directed by Walter Edwards. - MURRAY The weapons by which Ethel Clayton wins her husband back in "Women's Weapons." the new Paramount picture In which she Is starred, which is to be shown at the Murray theatre today and Saturday, are not the same as those employed to win her screen following, and yet in a sense they are the same.

Williams Tells How Quickly Nerv-Worth Did the Work. The Nerv-Worth demonstration at Thlstlethwaite's Drug Store, Sixth and Main streets, is very young, but already Demonstrator Day Is hearing excellent reports from local risers of this famous family tonic. One of these given a few days ago and put into the form of a signed endorsement Is as follows: Nerv-Worth Co.: I have been bothered with rheumatism for some time. Some days I was hardly able to get about I tried a number of remedies but it was Nerv-Worth that set me right. I read the statements of others and decided to give it a trial and am happy to say that it drove rheumatism out of my system. It also stopped my stomach trouble, (Signed) George W. Williams, 308 North Fourth Street, . Richmond, Indiana. Demonstrator Day adds to the above that Mr. Williams obtained the wonderful results reported by him from not quite one bottle of Nerv-Worth and is loud in praise of the medicine. Your dollar back at the Thistlethwaite Drug Stores, Richmond, if NervWorth does not benefit you. Adv.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM; :

WITH THOSE IN ARMY AND NAVY This column, containing news of Richmond and Wayne county soldiers and sailors, will appear daily in the Palladium. Contributions will be welcomed. Everything from a "Turnip Patch" drive to a "surething" drive was experienced by J. L. Bender, with K. of C. In France, he says in a letter to his aunt, Misa Anna Varley, 206 South Eighth street. . The letter follows: "The censorship baa been lifted and we are allowed to tell where we were and what we have been doing. On an

riving in Paris I informed Mr, L. O.ftnndred times The charges In my

Murray, who Is one of the high com missioners of the K. of C. here, that I wanted to go to the front and be itt the big show and I did not delay long, only about a week, just long enough to see the town and then was assigned and sent out to the 91st Division, made up mostly of Western men from California and Oregon and Washington and I shipped out on the train for Bar-le-Duc and from there went to Rlvigny. After an uneventful trip up through France we arrived at Ypres, where the British and Huns had battled for four years and that country was surely shot up. I marched from there with the Infantry through the mud that was about the conslstance of gravy, to the town of Oostnelwkerke, about twenty kilometres 'and we bllletted there for two days and opened by the first K. of C. Hut in Belgium. The order came to move and we moved out to a chateau near Rumbeke and the general secretary of the division assigned me to take care of the 361st regiment of infantry, and I moved over to that outfit which camped a few kilometres from division P. C. and Stayed there two days, and we were ordered to move move 00 and the big guns were plainly heard throwing their barrage over every morning and the airplanes came over every night and dropped bombs near our camp and we could see the air battles In the distance, but the next move was a real thriller. A peculiar thing happened while we were in this town and it was unforttir nate for one man, but lucky for about twenty -five others, who were sleeping in the same pile of straw out in the open. A dud, which is a shell that does not explode when it hits, through some fault in its construction, hit this man on top of his steel helmet while he was asleep and fractured his scull so badly that he died In a few minutes and not another man in the group was touched. Had the shell exploded it would have killed or wounded every man in the bunch. This little drive, which some of the men jokingly refer to as the "turnip patch drive," was all that I saw of the war. ' The time and dates of these happenings are not so firmly fixed In my memory, but I reeber moving back and hearing the big guns firing every orning for about two hours and then we moved up again and we received word of the armistice and that Bring would cease on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, and we could hardly believe It for a time, but GET AFTER THAT COLD.

when we woke up the next morning and heard no more guns we began to realize that the war was over and we got the "Daily Mail," an English paper a few days later and got to see the terms of the armistice there was a happy bunch of American soldiers billetted in an old Chateau in Audenarde.

Mrs. Harry Templen of West Man-i Chester. O., has received word from j her brother. Ozro Studebaker, saying; that he has been wounded seriously at the front. The letter stated that he had been 6hot through the head causing paralysis. He will probably be brought home at an early date. Paul Fecifleld, nephew of Miss Nanle Petty, 17 South Fourth street, writes from U. S. S. South Dakota, that he has made six trips to France. "Am a gunner on an eight inch cannon, which I have fired at least a run weigh a hundred pounds each, and she kicks back forty-two Inches. The concussion is so terrible that It breaks ear drums, and slaps our ears against our heads so that they swell up and are called "cauliflower ears." "But I've slept when three inch guns, the noisiest known to man were firing it's all in getting used to things. "When 11 a. m. of November" 11 came it seemed as If the world had come to end with the ending of the machine gun. cannon, rifle and other sorts of barrage," writes Chester Jack, Co. B., 5th Division. "I have been right up at the front, but of course could not tell you where before. We have been on the Verdun front for the last six weeks and are now on our way to Luxemburg. "We crossed the Meuse river with the Fifth division, going toward the Rhine, and we are still going." Chester Jack is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Jack of 104 South West street. A. S. Gilchrist, who has been in the United States army service, is the guest of his mother, Mrs. Cora Gilchrist. Elbert Hale has returned to his ship the U. S. S. Illinois, after a few days' furlough spent with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Hale, ?23 South Twelfth street. Ross Game, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Game, of Chicago, formerly of Richmond, is reported wounded in action. He is in a base hospital suffering from a wound in his leg. From Highny Prautin, France, Sergeant Leroy Mobley. son ,of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mobley, writes: "We have been transferred from the first army to the third, the one that is advancing into Germany. It consists of the best picked troops of the allies. We have been selected from many to go into this place, and we have the best squadron on any of the fronts. This isn"t Bull, for we have done more work; been on more fronts; and covered more miles of territory than any allied squadron in France.
