SWIFT OCEAN WASPS FIND MORE VICTIMS Herman Submarines Sink Passenger Craft With Loss of Many Lives Fast and powerful submarines of the German navy have torpedoed two more British steamers in the waters adjacent of the British Isles. Both steamers, the Falaba and Auglia took to flight at the sight of the submarines, but were speedily overhauled, with the result that both were sent to the bottom, with a loss of life estimated at between 140 and 150 Only a few minutes were allowed the passengers and crews to put off in the boats, and according 10 the survivors, the Germans turned their guns on the captured ships and added to the loss of life by shell fire. Since the French merchantman, Admiral Ganteaume, with 2,600 refugees from Belgium and French coast towns, was torpedoed February 2b, the Falaba, which was in th-i vVcit Af?.car. seivice, is the only steamer carrying anj great number oi* pass? ngers tlrt has been sunk by a German submarine.

Messrs Robert and Jeff Vaughan spent last Saturday night with Mr. Wm. Bennett and family at Smyrna. Your correspondent returned from a visit to the same section last Monday where he spent two days very pleasantly with relatives and friends, and in the meantime attended preaching service at Bethseda church, where Rev.

My first letter to the naper was written during the time the v< , viable Robert M. Stokes was its editor. When he first asked me to write, 1 told him I could not get up ne.vs that would interest his reader , ,ut he said "never mind, a dog hi would be interesting to reader at a distance from the scene."
