I! . = AMERICAN NAVAL LOSSES Vicc-Admiral Sims has notified the Navy Department that on October 16 an American destroyer was attacked by a German submarine while on patrol duty in European waters. The explosion of the torpedo injured the ship, killed a gunner's mate and injured five other men, but the destroyer was able t > reach port. This Hi is the first time in the course of the I" war that an American naval vessel has been hit by the enemy. On several occasions, however, naval gun crews on armored merchant ships have been killed or wounded in conflicts with German U-boats. On the following day the Germans struck again at the American navy, f The American transport "Antilles," on its homeward voyage encountered a German submarine and was torpedoed. The submarine that fired the torpedo was not seen from the deck and the blow was delivered most effectively abreast of the engine room of the ship. Within five minutes the '< IS IT YOUR KIDNEYS? |i ? Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. Many people never suspect their ; kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when . g- urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is .. 3^ with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is where the . danger often lies. You should real- j ize that these troubles often lead to ilropry or Rright's disease. An effective remedy for weak or diseased kidneys it Doan's Kndney Fills. Resi- i dents of this vicinity are constantly testifying. Mrs. Rebecca Weatherly, Fleet St., Bennettsville, S. C., says; "I had dull pnins across my hack and was ( very sore ami lame. ; I tired easily and didn't feel like doing my housework. I was distressed by dizzy spells and my kidneys acted irregularly. Doan's Kidney Pills soon re| lieved the h..c';aehe and other kidney disorders." Price 60c, nt all dealers.

Only thirty-three of the enlisted men of the army were on the ship and seventeen of these were rescued. The "Antilles" was accompanied at the time by a convoy of patrol work done by the destroyers of affords complete protection. The silent effectiveness of the patrol work done by the destroyer of the IInito<l Stntno nn.l ?v.? e-? ?1 ^ ? M?IM Ul lilt- rillUMllt' Allies is proved by the decrease in the number of vessels sunk in the last three months as compared with earlier months of unrestricted submarine warfare. During the week ending October 15, twelve British ships of more than 1C00 tons and six smaller vessels fell victims to German mines and torpedoes. This is a decrease of two in the number of large ships lost and an increase of four in the number of small ships as compared with the report for the week ending October 7. The U-boat warfare in the Mediterranean is not yet at an end. Italy lost four ships during the week ending October 14. It is rumored that Germany will soon proclaim a zone of unrestricted submarine warfare near the coasts of the United States, Canada and Cuba. The task of maintaining a juboceanic blockade so far from German home ports and over so vast an urea will be a most difficult one, but it is pointed out that, since the essential supplies of the British and French are now largely imported from America, a blockade in the western Atlantic will also be in effect n blockade of France and Great Britain. itujv UNU tJiN Jt.KUSALEM London, Nov. 15.?(Jen.

There was no doubt here that the men referred to were members of General Pershing's forces undergoing final training with French regiments in front line trenches. Confirmation from General Pershing was lacking but in due course he will transmit the names of any men missing and this may furnish some light. If, as is assumed, a small scouting party was surprised by a German patrol in No Man's Land and all captured, details of the incident may never be fully told since only cantors and captives would know what happened in the encounter under cover of darkness. This is the first report received here of the capture of any members of the American expeditionary forces, but a number of naval gunners from American armed ships sunk by submarines and civilian members of the crews of other ships are held in German prison camps. An Important Task. ?,_..n i-.iH.iit imimi.ing is a vitally important part of tho final trji.'ine of the American for res as it is upon these patrols that the commanding officers rely for information of activity in the enemy's front line. Every night the scouts cteep out with faces blackened against the kee.i vision of enemy lookouts and a swift deadly spurt from a machine gun. They go creeping across the shell torn ground up to the enemy's entanglements, crawling and listening, dropping flat when a flare breaks out in the air above them, sometimes lying absolutely still for hours while rifles and machine guns hammer above them. Not a night passes on many parts of the line hut patrols encounter each other. Sometimes it results in firing hut that is seldom, for the menace of thi? minnuin.. 1: y, iK.iii.il nni's wun ritles, machine guns and star rockets bursting out at the slightest hint of dantier, hangs over friend ami foe alike. I Usually one patrol discovers the other and stalks it stealthily. A time comes when a surprise attacl can be made. It is a swift, silent hand to hand work and rarely is i shot fired. The victor carries off hit prisoners and when morning comes si report goes back on the other side of the line that a patrol of so many men [ is missing. That is all that is known Officers here believe that this was what happened on the French American front. Had there been any fir ing, or had any members of the patrol made their way back to the French-American trenches, General Pershing probably would have reported immediately. As it was he probably was waiting to make certain that the missing men were not hiding in a shell hole until dark came again to give them opportunity to make their way into their own lines. It was agreed that the loss of the patrol miirht havo ? *?? ? .. nmuiary eifcct upon American troops in the front line. They are young, in perfect physical condition and fairly longing for a chance at the enemy. It has taken all the authority of their officers to curb their desire to go over and share in the daring work of trench raiding. Men who have spent years in the army know what the situation must be. They are hopeful that the lesson of caution #will be brought home to the men by the loss of this party.

POINTING A MORAL She was an admirable person and never lost an opportunity of pointing a moral to her small nephews and nieces. She took them to the museum for a treat. "This," said the guide, is Nelson's v est, worn at the battle of Trafalgar and this is the hole where the fatal bullet went through." "There, children," said their aunt, "you remember what I said about a stitch in time saving nine. If that hole had been mended the bullet wouldn't have gone through."
