Battle Imminent Between
French and German Ships.
(By Associated Press)
Koritza, Albania, October .".0.?StafT
(Correspondence of The Associated
Press)?A naval battle between
French and German warships is imminent,
which when it occurs, will not
he recorded in any official communique
though it will be in a way, one of
the most unique naval engagements
of the war.
Lake Ochida is a largo body of fresh
water lying a few miles north of here,
at the point where Albania. Serbia and
Macedonia touch. It is 40 miles long
and 20 miles across, with towering
mountains running around it. The
north end of the lake is held by the
flornvms: n ?1/1 i lm emit li nn<l hv thn
Kntente Allies. It has hcen the scene
??f the latest hard fighting. when the
Kntente troops made a forward drive
of thirty miles from I'agroda, at the
south end, to Padahoja far up toward
the north end.
With the Germans holding the north
end of the lake, they did not confine
their operations to the land. A miniature
flotilla soon made its appearance
with oil-burniner launches about
15 feet long .each mounting1 one gun
forward. This mosquito fleet soon
became a real menace, for it darted '
to the south end of the lake, at night (
and bombed the small villages along 5
the south shore, held by the French, '
Russians and Serbs. The headquar- 1
ters of General TarnahofT, of the ltus- '
sian division operating with General *
Sarrail, was in one of these villages. *
The French soon too psteps to
counteract this menace. A small steel '
craft, thirty feet long, was brought
overland from the French fleet at
Salonika. This mounted two guns, one
forward and one aft. With it came
a commander and a crew of French ,
sailors. This was soon followed by a ,
second fiO-foot boat mounting two j
guns, with its equipment of officers
and crew.
Thus two miniature fleets find themselves
face to face on Fake Oehrida,
with a battle not far off. The French
have the advantage if larger ships
carrying more guns, but the Germans
have the advantage in number of
crafts. Their flotilla consists of six or
seven 15-foot boats mount.ine* one trim
each.
It seemed strange as we went along
a mountain road today ,to see the
uniforms of French officers sind sailors
at a point so remote from the sea.
Tthey were in a camion on the way
to their naval base at the south end
of the lake. The commander, I.ieut.
Hutoit, stopped for a moment and
spoke enthusiastically of his little
fleet.
"In bringing the boats from Salonika,"
he said, "we took out the engine^,
so that the hulls weighed only
three tons. This made reasonably
easy going on the camions. There was
no mishap, the first boat is launched,
with her engine in place and guns
mounted, and the second will soon follow.
And then" he added with a
laugh, "we'll sec who will do the bombarding."
When operations will begin is not
certain, but plans are so far advanced
that a tight is looked for almost any J
time now. With such mosquito craft
it. might be considered a toy battle,
if it were not for the reality of the
warfare, with real naval boats manned
by real sailors of the French and German
navies, fighting with as much
determination as on the deck of 20,000-ton
dreadnaughts.

Salvage From Torpedoed
Vessels is Profitable
Valuable Catches Made Along Irish
Coast?Fishermen Have Made
Modest Fortunes From
Wreckage.
Base American Flotillas in British
Waters, Oct. ,10.?(Correspondent of
The Associated Press).?Irish fishermen
along the coasts where the Uboats
operate, have made some remarkable
catches during the past
year. The story of the fishermen who
found a $15,000 box of diamonds from
the Lusitania in his nets one day, and
whose honesty in returning them to
their rightful owners was rewarded
by a check for $1,000, is well known.
There is another fisherman who came
home from a fishing expedition with
a fine new American automobile
lashed to the deck of his little trawler.
There are hundreds of fishermen
who have made modest fortunes out
of salvage of one kind or another.
Wheat, flour and coal salvage are all
profitable businesses in the coast
towns nowadays.
The story of the man who came
home ?rom the sea with a brand new
automobile is a household favorite
in the Irish ports. Accompanied by
his son he was mackerel fishing when
he was aroused by the report of an
explosion. On the horizon a cargo
steamer from America was settling
by the stern. It had been torpedoed.
The fishermen headed for it and soon
met the captain and crew in two open
boats. "She's loaded with American
automobiles, you might get one before
she goes under," said the skipper
jokingly as he and his shipmates
passed on toward shore.
The torpedoed ship was still well
above water when the fisherman came
alongside. He at once sent his son
on board to look around. The latter
found the hole full of automobiles.
"Run one out through this gangway,"
directed the father. With the aid of
some tackle the machine was dropped
into the fishiiJVo'essel. A few mo
ments later as the trawler steamed
away the ship disappeared. The fisherman
with an automobile is now the
envy of his village.
Many torpedoed vessels manage to
reach shore where they are usually
pounded to pieces on the rocks, Hut
letfure the cargo is lost forever people
come from miles around to salvage
it. Anything that will float is
used and everyone helps himself. Men,
vnmcn and children attack cargo and
silp. removing brass fittings and anyllfng
else of value. Flour and canned
/neats, fruits and vegetables form the
larger portion of the salvaged articles.
One village has had the good fortune
to have a couple of food ships
jlring up on its very doorstep. Most
of the ships of course go down at
sea. Hut this does not dishearten the
alert fishermen who have been known
to transfer several hundred sacks of
the best American flour from a vessel
while it is sinking many miles
from land. If the explosion tears a
big enough hole in the victim much of
the cargo will become loosened and
wash ashore where it is quickly spied
, by the watchful eyes of the natives.
Salvage companies also are very active
and are making huge profits.
jSome have transferred their whole
tiffs to this coast. Their agents can
bid on a wheat cargo without seeing
it and can tell just how far into a sack
of flour the watef will have penetrated
in a given period.

it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home -whon T

complained of headache, usually

i doso of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the ISprlng,
we would have malaria and t
chills, or troubles of this kind, we ^
would take Black-Draught pretty reg- u
alar until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around

for It certainly has saved us lots of
loctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught
when not so well saves a tj

Thedford'a Black-Draught has been 01
