Southhampton. ? Thirty-four sur-1 vivors of the American tank steamer Illinois, which was sunk Sunday, j March 18, 20 miles noith of Alder-! ney by a German submarine, arrived 1 here. Sixteen are Americans, the others being Swedes and Spaniards. Gapt. H. Iverson made the following statement: "We sailed on March 16, at 7:45 a. in. on the 18th we sighted a submarine bearing down upon us from' the southwest from a distance of approximately three miles. The sub-j marine submerged * fend approached, i About ten minutes later the distance j then from us was about two miles, the submarines opened fire. ImmedifUnfnlv nff.or hnclrimr for fwn mimit- ' es, our vessel was stopped by the engineer on watch. The first shot went' over our aerial and the second brought it down. The firing con tinued rapidly until the boats were, well clear of the ship's sides when the shouting ceased. "The submarine then came close1 alongside the lifeboats and ordered j No. 1 boat to come alongside the sub! marine. Five of our men were or-1 dered aboard his boat and he trans-' ferred live of his crew to the lifeboat, which was then pulled to the Illinois. These men then placed seven bombs alongside the ship and in !the eingino room, which exploded in due course. "Our five men were taken off the submarine ar.d I asked the commander if he would tow us toward land, j He replied, 'I have no time.' We then proceeded under sail and oars for Alderney and ten miles from it we I were picked up and taken in tow b> | two motor boats that had observed' us and came to our assistance. "The submarine commander took no measures for the safety of the crew and continued shelling until they were in their boats. The Illinois did not trv to or rAsist One Man was injured by shell fire t The submarine had no flag showing when filet observed. It was six and a half hours after shelling the Illinois when the crew reached the harbor." o IS IT "JUST A COLD"? Conway People Should Ask Themselves This Question. Don't say: "It's just a cold."

This is one country with which ours has not b<*en in contact before. We have not sought the war. It has been forced upon us. The Amreican peo-! pie do not want war even now, but they can see no way out of it. All of this is having a disastrous effect< upon our home enterprises Efforts to raise money for religious and charitable causes and even for the promotion of education will surely have cold water thrown upon them.
