WITH THE AMERICAN DESTROYER
FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS. After a
record-breaking dash in the dead hours of the
niprht in response to wireless distress signals, two
American destroyers arrived at their base at an
English port with eighty survivors of two torpe-1
doed merchantmen. The rescue was affected at'
a point further out at sea than-any previous tor- j
uedoing, showing that the U-Boats are extend- j
ing the scope of their activities far out into the)
ocean. I
Vice-Admiral Simms, the ' American fleet!
commander, who is now temporarily in charge of

of her husband. Count Josef Gizyacka.
that finally won from Judge Charles j
M. Thompson the announcement that j
he was satisfied that she should re- j
ceive her decree.
The ancestral estate of the Russian
nobleman, which he had described J
vividly before her marriage in Wash- j
ington in 1904, proved to be a tumble:
down, ramshackle castle, surrounded '
by peasant's huts and five miles from
a railroad, the Countess testified.
The imposing array of TO servants
promised proved to be a horde of
Russian peasant boys and girls, who
received no pay but their food and a
trifling present at Christmas.
She declared thait her husband's
life was centered on hunting, drinking
and vonieu, that his fathre had died
insane, that' the servants lived iu con
stant terror of him and that he had
married her solely for her money.
The countess tatet that she wished
to le knownas Mrs. "tiizyacka, and
wanted to lose her title forever. Ail
of her income of $20,000 a year had
been used to maintain her titled hus
band s establishment, she continued.
"He thought he would get hold of
our fortune when he married me." she
said, "and he immediately tried to do
so but failed. I had an income of $20.
000 a year. Ten thousand I gave him
to use and at different times i gave
him parts of the other half with which
to pav household bills, but he never
paid them and the bills came hack to
me."

PARIS. How does it feel and sound
in the "innards" of a British tank in
art ion 7
Bullets clattering against the steel
covered sides of the. newly invented
war machine sounds like myriads of ;
hailstones against the window of a
, moving train. A direct hit by a shell
stern, and rattles your teeth, but in
tanks like this it merely tickles their
, ribs as they wallow' on.
A first hand description of a tank
; fighting was given here today by one
1 of the crew of H. M. Lanship. "Ichthy
i Osauras." He speaks from inside in-
formation.
"You need no sealegs to ride a
tank," the land seaman said, describ
' ing the slow-rolling ride toward an
i enemy machine-gun "nest" somewhere
i on the Somme. The tank approaches
I the German wire brown, rusty en- j
I tanglements in multitudinous rows. It:
! slides down an old juine crater and j
j waddles up the other side. It cuts
I through the forest of wires with a !
' scratchy, crunching sound and just ',
ahead is the ,nest," piles of white sand
j bags with little loop-holes here and
there. ;
i "We fire without ceasing, hand on j
j the gun and eye on the loop-hole j
j pierced in the steel, with sweat pour- i
j ing down our forearms.
"A thud, a powerful, panting, a last ,
! and almost imperceptible stop. The I
! nose of our tank scatters sand and j
cement bags, throwing them right and i
left as if it were plowing up a field. J
Then comes another violent shock, and j
heavy blows and a crashing. We are i
going straight through a wall and are j
pulverizing machine guns. Grenades j
burst upon the tank's armor. We are j
in the midst of hte "nest" All at once
enemy heads with terror on their faces
I appear on. both sides of us. Now is
I our turn. Our machine guns crackle ;
our bullets whistle into the German
trenches which we are. enfilading and
i we throw lead into the underground
passages, leading from the "nest" to
the' rear. The Germans are in the
greatest disorder. They throw them
selves flat upon their stomachs, they
raise their arms to heaven and soma
of them try to run away.
"A whistle sounds in the tank and i
we stop. Then wild cheers come faint- j
ly to our ears. The Tommies are just j
behind us. They take possession of 1
the "nest" and gather up every thin
living that remains."

Where Water Is Precious.
In Cape Town, where water espe
cially in the hot summer months is
a. very precious fluid, It is the custom
to shut off the supply at night, in or
der to eliminate waste as far as pos
sible. The authorities complain that
persons frequently go to a tap to draw
water after the supply has. been shut
off for the day, and finding no water,
thoughtlessly leave the tap open. Con
sequently the next morning when the
supply is turned on a large quantity
of water runs to waste unnoticed.
