Captain Nelson Forms Screen for Big Warships?One of Fate's Queer Twists. London.?A contingent of 12 American submarine chasers played a brilliant and novel part in the Durazzo en-i gagement. This chaser squadron ef-, fectively acted as a screen around the big ships engaged in the bombardment to protect them against submarines. The Americans were under heavy fire, but had no casualties. Capt. C. P. Nelson and Lieut. Com. P. H. Bastedo commanded the squadron. A large percentage of the officers and men were of the naval reserve and reports of the operation praise their work highly. The Americans definitely sank one submarine and damaged and probably destroyed another. After the engagement they escorted a British cruiser which had been hit by a torpedo safely to the base from which tiie expedition started. An enemy hospital ship was also taken in charge for examination. Active Duty Pleases Men. Throughout the bombardment and when the forces were approaching the harbor the chasers circled swiftly around the big ships. A report received here says the men had a good time and eviuenuy were pieasea witn me success of the first achievement of this character the chasers had attempted to work. Heretofore they have been patrolling, dropping depth charges and firing on enemy submarines. Austria-Hungary has at the most only two modern battleships left; she has lost a large number of small craft, and now Durazzo, the advanced base of her depleted fleet, has been rendered useless, writes the British naval expert, Archibald Hurd, in the Daily telegraph. Continuing, he says: ""nnrnzTn rinminfltinp" ftlt one side of the Adriatic, was to the Austrians what Zeebrugge was once to the Germans. No effort had been spared to make it an impregnable port which would be valuable to the Austrians, as a base of military forces of the quadruple'alliance in Albania, and in addition be a pistol aimed at the ELllies. Sees One cf Fate's Queer Twists. "In the scheme of attack provision had been made by the entente naval forces for the co-operation of Arner* Mn submarine cnasers, of wmcn quite i number have been working in the Mediterranean. It was an irony of fate :hat whereas the Germans boasted of the damage their submarines would do to the Americans it was the submarine chasers of our friends which traveled jbout four thousand miles to deal with the German partner at his very gateway. "The American seamen will be corlially congratulated by their comrades n the other allied navies on the destruction of two Austrian submarines, rhe attack was a direct and menacing challenge to tl ? Austro-Hungarian 3eet, and it presents another effective )low struck at the enemy. "The task of making a way through the mine fields in broad daylight must lave been a difficult and hazardous me. We shall probably learn that some of our hardy east coast fisherlien, Englishmen and Scotchmen, had i hand in clearing the passage for the' warships." LABRADOR FISHERY IS SHORT Dn!y 50,000 Quintals Are Expected This Season, Against 250,000 in a Good Year. St John's, N. F.?The Labrador fishery, one of the principal branches of he Newfoundland cod fishery Indus .ry, threatens to be very short this rear. The fish are shipped direct from .he coast to European countries, mainly Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, ind very high prices are obtained nowadays, tiitually double the figures ruing before the war started- The Lab*ador fishery of Newfoundland has nor n late years attained the same proportions as formerly when some 20,000 isher folk, men, women and children, migrated there every summer for the Ashing season, and the catch in some rears reacnea zou.uw qmntais. a gooa season at present wonld represent half these figures, whereas the outlook just low is that for the 10,000 or 12,000 [>eople engaged, not more than 50,000 luintals will be obtained.

Tail of His Machine Shot Off White Flying at 16,000 Feet Over Qstend. London.?A British airman flying a powerful machine at 16,000 feet over Ostend recently had the rtftchine's tail shot off by the direct hit of ai shell, a very unusual occurrence. The machitte turned upside down, out of control, and the pilot was thrown out of his seat. By some inexplicable maneuver he managed to clamber onto the bottom of the fuselage of the machine astride of which he sat as if he was riding a horse. Though the machine was out of 'control, owing to the less of its tail planes, yet by nJbving forward and backward he so managed to balance ft that it glided st^sdily downward, although it was upside down. He successfully broirrfrt it across the German lines and came safely to. within a few hundred feet of the ground. Then he crashed and was injured, but Is now recovering in hospital. > When it is considered that this incident occurred at a height of 16.000 feet, over hostile territory, and that during the airman's terribly precarious ride he was subject to anti-aircraft fire, and liable to the attack of hostile scouts, it is not.too much to say that his is a record achievement. Recently another airman wa3 shot " * -? -10 Ann fanf down, out or control, nuiu w,uw and fell, fluttering like a leaf toward the ground. At a height of 0.000 fret ho fainted. Shortly afterward he came to, and found himself in the .machine upside down in a marsh, unhurt tY?-trC*?1 ?3 ^ I (' American Doughboy to t Be Model for Statue | Lonaon.?An American dough- <r ^ 1 *?

I'ort facilities already have been developed at several of the ports because ??f war demands and railroad yard.** and warehouses ample for the beginners of sueh a project are available at Nantes and St. Nazaire.

It was Drought in toParis by a dispatch-Nearer and found' its way info the lied Cross scrapbook over :i cup of tea. An American artillery detachment lay waiting J'or a report from the air scouts.

"I believe in that fellow. That's the only graveyard in sight. He must mean that." He gave the order. The guns spoke. Great masses of smoke arose from the qniet graveyard and a loud series of explosions ensued. Shortly afterward' Hie airman alighted. "Well, you did have faitffc i? me," he said. "I wondered!
