TWO SAY ROWANMORE | \ TRIED TO ESCAPE Submarine Continued to Shell The Vessel After It Had Stopped MEMBERS OF CREW GIVE AFFIDAVITS Two Americans Say Lifeboats Were Not Shelled After Leaving. London.?The British steamer Row anmore from Baltimore to Liverpool sunk last week by a submarine, attempted to escape from the attacking undersea boat, but the latter continuucd to shell the ship after she stopped, according to affidavits from members of the crew procured by the American consul at Liverpool. Details extracted from a number of the affidavits are as follows: "On October 2(1 at 8 a. m. the steamer was ISO miles from Fastnet when shells began to burst about her. A moment later the lookout saw the submarine's holm put hard aport bringing the attacking craft directly astern. Early in the chase two shells struck the bridge. The pursuit continued until 9:40 o'clock, five or six shells in the meantime striking the steamer. The captain of the Rowanmore stopped his engines and hoisted signals that he intended to abandon f a eUin V\n4- f U a a i?i r\ a /i /\ ?% i- i' V1I\J oil I|/f UUt UlC k)U UUl d 111 1U UIII1L1II" ued to shell her as the boats were being lowered, and when they were in the water the occupants were drenched by spray from falling shells. "Get Out of Our Way." The submarine then headed for the life boats while one of its officers shouted "Get out of our way or we'll run you down," but swerved when near the boats, passed them and turn cd back, the commander calling out: 1 "I am sorry for you but you are very foolish. You will probably all drown." The capatin of the Rowanmore was ordered on board the submarine, but declined to obey, although the command was thrice given until a revolver was pointed at his head. After the captain had been taken on board the submarine fired a torpedo at the Rowanmore, which sank. The sub- 1 marine then submerged and was no4 seen again. About three hours later the crew was picked up. Two white Americans were on board. They were George Murphy, of Brooklyn, and Albert Seisler, of Boston. Five Fillipinos on board gave Liverpool addresses. The affidavits of Murphy and Seisler agree in stating that they saw no shells fired at the life boats after they were clear of the ship. The at tack occurred at a time when the sea was very rough. In the documentary evidence, the belief finds expression that the shelling of the ship after she had stopped was due to resentment at the failure to abandon her. -o LAME EVERY MORNING A Bad Back is Generally Worse in the Morning.

Santo Domingo, Nov. 1.?In a test of endurance, conducted by Lieutenant Kingston of the United States Marines in Haiti to determine the staying powers of his men, one hundred and eighteen men, ranging in age from nineteen to fifty-two and carrying the regulation field equipment, were given the test of ascending a steep mountain path, approximately eight miles, within a two-hour limit. Eighty-four men accomplished the feat in the prescribed time, and of those, 20 per cent were veterans of forty-four years and over. The average age of those who succeeded was twenty-nine years, while the percentage of tender foot recruit3 among the losers reduced their average to twenty-four years. This experiment strengthens the theory of .many that trained middleage rivals unseasoned youth. ? Worming the peach trees for borers may be done from now on, and after it is finished the dirt may either be left away from the tree or the hole filled. If there is no danger of water collecting about the base of the trunk the cold weather of the winter will kill the borers, and when worming is done again early in the spring the holes can be filled. o Dairy cows that freshen in the fall should receive some extra feed six to eight weeks previous to calving.
