Somewhere between late Friday night and 12.30 o'clock in the morn ing of last Saturday, November 24th, somebody left, near the door on the porch of Mr. and Mrs. Will Moore, a ?* basket containing the body of a baby boy, about three months old. Mr. and Mrs. Moore live about four miles below Seneca, on the Cherry's Bridge road. The child was discovered about 12.30 o'clock. It ,was by mere nco iden t that members of the house hold had been up at that hour, and the child could not have been ou the heard near br at the house during the night, though Mrs. Moore recalls having heard what she thought at the time was a wagon passing, going toward the Cherry Bridge. This was but a short while before the child was discovered. Tho child was sup plied with an abundance of clothing, parts of. this being of fine material. Among the articles of clothing were noted a number of fine white sum mer aprons and other articles of ex tra quality materials, and a light white summer coat. Tucked away in the basket there were also four nursing bottles. The Moores know whose baby lt is now, but they want to know whose lt was. In other words, somebody is going to have a sweet time getting thia kiddo from Its new home, as Mrs. Moore states that mouey could not buy lt. And yet-who can . fathom the workings of a woman's curiosity-she would give almost anything In tho world except the child to know whose it was before it became hers by right of possession.

A Innen, Lost at Sea, Rescued In Ex hausted Condition. A French Port, Nov*. 25.-Suffer ing' from cold, exhaustion and hun ger, three American naval airmen were picked up by a French patrol boat last night aftor having been lost at sea for nearly 60 hours. The three men, in a huge triple hydro-airplane, left a French base Thursday morning in search of four enemy submarines which were re ported operating off the coast! When the men failed to. return within the usual time fears weye felt for ..their safety and machines^ yvere l?s, however, re turned aftor several hours and re ported that, they had seen no trace of the missing plane or Its crew. The naval authorities then sent out a general warning to all allied boats off the coast and tho search for the Americans was continued Thursday, Friday and Saturday. About dusk Saturday a French pa trol boat saw tho missing machine drifting helplessly several miles out at sea. A boat's crew rescued three men, who included Ensign Kenneth Smith, a former Yale student, who was the pilot; Frank J. Drady, of Newark, N. J., observer and gunner, and I. F. Wilkins, mechanician. The three men were virtually exhausted when picked up. All the men have now- recovered.

Germans, However, Succeed In Sink- ?, lng Sub. After Capture. -j Washington, Nov. 24.-?A German submarine captured recently by two j] American destroyers was sent to the I bottom by members of her crew open- I lng cocks bolow, while their ship mates stood on deck with hands rals- I cd In signal of surrender. All of tho crew were taken prisoners. One of tho Germans was-drowned while being transferred to a destroy- . er and another died. The latter was burled with military honors. Secretary Daniels announced the capture and sinking of the subma rine to-day in a formal statement, which made no mention of prisoners nor of the reason for tho boat sink- " lng. The details leaked out at. tho department later, but the Secretary . would neither confirm nor deny them, saying he had issued the statement . in agreement with the British admi ralty, and could not add to it. Probably Cruiser Type. There waa a report in naval circles that approximately 40 men, in dud- j lng five officers, were taken off the Bub marine. If this were true, it is pointed out, the vessel undoubtedly was one of the cruiser type, known authentically to be opreated by the Germans. The action occurred In the war. zone several days ago, and the sub marine went dowu while ono de stroyer was attempting to tow her to port. Periscope Sighted, Mr. Daniels' statement said a de stroyer on patrol duty sighted a peri scope at 400 yards, headed for it and dropped a depth bomb; that the sub marine came to the surface soon af terward and was .fired'upon by two destroyers, a second having come up; that the submarine, apparently dam-, aged, did not return the fire and sank immediately after one destroyer had taken her in tow. . * It is now known that the subma rine rose because her steering gear was put out of comin8?sl?n by tho explosion of tho depth bomb. As she appeared above the water, to meet gun fire from the destroyers at close range, most of her crew clambered on.deck and raised their hands.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The Ameri can steamer Schuylkill has been tor pedoed and sunk in tho Mediterra nean. The -Navy Department was advised that 4 0 mort of her crow had been landed at a Mediterranean port. There were no naval armed guard aboard. \ Both German and Austrian subma rines are operating in tho Mediterra nean, but so far as known the na tionality of the submarine which sank the Schuylkill was not determ ined by the ship's officers. Carried Valuable Cargo. New York, Nov. 24.-The Ameri can steamship Schuylkill left here Oc tober 13 for Pirlus, Greece, with a cargo of miscellaneous merchandise valued at about $1,500,000. N. A. Galanos, agent for the vessel, had received no word to-night of her loss. He said that if 40 men of her crew had been landed, it probably meant that all were saved, although he did not have a record ot the number aboard available. The Schuylkill was commanded hy Capt. George Terrill, of New York. The vessel was a former lake steamier of 2,2t)(i tons gross, Jjuilt in Clove laud in 1892. .CHAUNCEY1 RAMMED BY 'ROSE' Destroyer Cut In Two by Vessel it Was Convoying. Washington, Nov. 22.-The Amer ican destroyer Chauncey, sunk Mon day with the loss of* 21 mon, was cut in two by the transport Roso, tho Navy* Department was advised to-day hy Vice Admiral Sims. The after part of tho destroyer sank immedl atoly, carrying down three officers, including tho commander, Lieut. Commander Walter R. Reno ,Snd 18 enlisted men, who were believed to have been asleep in their quarters. The Chauncey undoubtedly was convoying tho Rose and both vessels were running through the war zone Without lights. The transport struck the destroyer on the port side abreast the fourth funnel and plowed through tho frail vessel. The forward part of tho wreck -remained afloat an hour, Biinbllng tho Ros? to rescue the 70 officers and men in that section. They were taken io port by tho transport. Tho Rose was not identified by naval officers here to-day, there be ing no record of an American trans port of that nnme and Admiral Sims was asked to clear up that point. rulterculosis Week, Dee. 2-?. o attention of pastors ot Ches.
