My dear Dr. David: Your son, Lieutenant David, was killed on March 1st, while com .Handing a platoon of this regiment.. At a particularly critical time, your son had been selected and sent to command this platoon, which was not his own, but which required the services of a particularly good officer at that time. Lieutenant David was killed leading his platoon in a desparate combat with * German storm troops, a combat which ended successfully for his command. I have the honor to inform- you that had your son lived through this engagement, it was my intention to recommend him for a captaincy, as his record in this regiment was of the best. His death was worthy of the best ! LADIES, ATTE I I y We are offerin i unusual values it i i } ; Silk Voile, Oruandies tuid Net liinen and Voile and Lin i i I iresses ' (>inKimm Dresses i !

Ten boats left the Carolina before le was sunk by the German subarine U-37. All passed through the ime storm and the survivors at Lew 5 said they felt sure all were lost hey expressed great joy when in>rmed that most of the Carolina's imp&ny had been saved. The 19 persons landed at Lewes ere brought in by a British vessel tat picked them up more than 25 iles off the Deleware capes. Acording to the survivors the Carina was warned late Sunday afterson by wireless to look out for subarines. The steamer was advised tat a three-masted schooner had 1st been sunk anrt w?s caiitlnned it to 8how lights. At 6 o'clock Sun- i ly evening a submarine appeared I >ove the surface close tp the Caro- | na. She was about 350 feet long, irvivors said and later was identied as the U-37. The submarine signaled something hich our captain could not make it" said the survivor, "and then the I -boat raised the German flag. We ere ordered to heave to and the iptain fearing that the submarine ould shell the steamer if he did not ley the order, signaled the engineer i reverse the engines and stop. "A German officer with an armed jard came alongside and gave or srs to our captain to lower all boats j id leave the ship in twenty, minutes. | f course it would be useless to say tat none of us was frightened, for! tere were more than 300 on a ship j tout to be sunk there must be i >me timid ones.'

All hands came to the conclusion that none of the other boats had safely come through the storm and that all in mem muai nave perished. "After awhile an object was seen In the water. There was no way to reach it, as the launch had lest her gasoline and oars. The launch, however, drifted close and the survivors were startled to discover a girl alive clinging to the bodies of two drowned men. The bodies were incased in life belts, but the girl wore none. She appeared to be a good swimmer and with her-own efforts and clinging to the two bodies for support she managed to remain afloat. The launch got near enough to her to effect her rescue and she proved to be Elona Donato Vlnola, of Porto Rico. She 1b one of the tw?~ women landed. She was one of tl" .? in the launch and became separated from it when it capsised. The identity of the two dead men is not known. Their bodies were left in the launch and continued to drift until Monday afternoon when it was picked up by the British vessel." ? 4 Hack Bad Today?
