PEORIA. 111., July 7. Seventy-seven bodies had been recovered tonight from the wreckage of the steamer Co lumbia. Earl R. Barnewoolt, diver, to day said there were fully 25 more bodies pinned within the wreckage of the excursion steamer. An investigation of the sinking is under way. United States inspectors were at the scene of the tragedy and questioned survivors. They also sum moned members of the crew, whom they questioned separately. The na ture of the investigation was not dis closed. WIRE STRIKE CALLED OFF (Continued From First Pag-e.) all but five were Democrats. Thla is the first time that bo large a number of Democrats has manifested & dis position to kick over the traces.. The rebellious move failed because Democratic Leader Kitchin in. tbe House refused to allow the passage of the yenate recess resolution. The re calcitrant Democratic, Senators were left therefore in the position of par ticipants in an unsuccessful revolu tion. Anticipating' punishment by the White House for their temerity they are busy explaining today. Many of them unload the blame upon Senator Martin, the majority leader, contend ing that he concealed Mr. Wilson' desire that the Senate should remain on the job and represented the Presi dnt as not opposed to a recess. The meeting of telegraphers was held, as announced, last night, at the I. O. U. T. Hall. At this session Mr. Kelly instructed all who had been in Htrumental in spreading notification of the strike to pass out news of its postponement. Secretary K. J. Stack, of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, told of the interest at the National session of the American Federation of Labor in the cause of the telegraphers. He assured those at the meeting that the parent organization will give full support to the keymen in their fight against the Western Union. President Otto R. Hartwig, f the Ft ate federation, deprecated attempts of Western Union heads to foster an organization among its employes which is not definitely linked up with organized labor. The whole movement was characterized as one of pure camouflage," destined to result in nothing worth while. LOCAL OFFICE GIVEX XOTICE Postponement Viewed as Forecast ing Government Control. Official notification that the telegra pher's strike against the Western Union is not to be put into effect this morn ing was received late yesterday by James K. Kelly, organizer and president of the local branch of the Commercial Telegrapher's Union. The message from President S. J. Konenkamp to Mr. Kelly stated that the strike call is temporarily revoked in deference to request of Secretary of Labor Wilson. It asked that all teleg raphers be instructed to report for work as usual today. Mr. Kelly stated that he immediately began carrying out this part of the injunction. The hour of the strike in Portland was set lor 4 o'clock this morning. Loral keymen and employes of the telegrph companies see in postpone ment of the strike at Secretary Wilson's request a definite forecast that Presi dent Wilson expects to win in his move to take over the telegraph and tele phono lirtps.

TANK FLEET WINS VICTORY Allied Leviathans Obliterate Nests of Machine Guns and Grind Gun ners Into Earth; German In fantry Bolts at Sight. WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 7. (By the Associated Press.) No further attempt by the Germans to re-take the ground wrest ed from them Thursday by the Aus tralian and American attacks has been reported. The Australians Friday night again drove forward just south, of Vaire wood and jammed the Germans back some 400 yards more along a front of 2000 yards. Crews Oronnd Into Kartsu Details now are available concern ing the work of the fleet of tanks last Thursday. Officers say this was one of the most economical assaults ever undertaken on the British front, be cause the tanks mopped up machine gun posts and strong points in ad vance. Whole machine gun crews were literally ground into the earth. One group "destroyed or captured more than 30 machine guns and brought about surrender of at least 200 Ger mans. Many Germans were slain by these great engines. Taken as a whole the infantry sur rendered or bolted on the approach. The German machine gunners, how ever, fought to the last in many in stances. Path Cleared for Infantry. Numerous times the Australian and American infantrymen co-operated with tank crews and gave them the direction from which machine gun fire was coming. In every case the tank was able to deal with the rapid firers and thus allow the infantry to ad vance. One tank, which was 200 yards in front of the allied infantry, destroyed a nest of six German machine guns by running over it after the gun crews re fused to surrender. Another tank crushed rapid firers, but another ma chine gun continued firing at a dis tance of five or six yards. This gun, in turn, was run over and destroyed, together with its crew. At one point a tank moved against a mound which seemed a likely place for a machine gun. No sign of the enemy was to be seen at first, but after the tank had circled the mound once, about 40 Germans came out of a Ins) Corporal, Jllles s. Dunning. Veil Haven, Conn.; William Kluth.

Depp enlisted in Company C, Third Oregon, in June. 1917. At the time of his enlistment he was super intendent of production in the machine shop of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, living with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Depp, 334 Glenn ave nue. He sailed for service overseas in December, and spent Christmas day on a transport en route to England. A, telegram from the War Depart ment was received by the father Fri day evening conveying the informa tion that Harry had been severely wounded June 3. It is possible that this was an error in transmission, and Mr. Depp has asked for a verification. The last letter received was dated June 3, when he was well and wrote cheerfully. He was then assigned to the Third Motor Battalion. First Regi ment ammunition train. Harry L. Depp was born in Pennsyl vania and came to Portland with his parents in 1908. He began work soon thereafter and attended night school at the T. M. C. A., qualifying himself for the work which he afterwards took up in the machine shop. He cele brated his 24th birthday in France, April 18. John E. Depp, his father, is a carpenter and is at present working at the Northwest Steel Company with Contractor Wakefield. WASHINGTON", July 7.

During the consolidation of the new lines the tanks patroled the front for nearly half an hour for protection. On one sector, where snipers in a corn field were making things uncom fortable for the men at work on the defenses, a tank advanced across No Man's Land and fired several shells into the corn. With the explosions, many of the enemy jumped up in vari ous parts of the field and all were killed by the fire from the tank. Several officers have said since the battle that the prospects for victory never seemed so bright as now. The latest work of the tanks has really opened their eyes to the possibilities of causing the Germans heavy defeats, with slight casualties to the attacking infantry. RiSH SITUATION STIRS MIL ROOSEVELT ASKED TO HELP IN RECRUITING DRIVE. "Send Me a Word of Encouragement," Is Part of Message Sent to Ei President by Colonel Lynch. DUBLIN, July 7. (By the Associated Press.) Colonel Arthur Lynch, Nation alist member of Parliament, who re cently accepted a commission to assist in the recruiting campaign of Ireland, has sent an appeal to Theodore Roose velt for co-operation. In the course of the communication Colonel Lynch says: "Send me a word of encouragement or, better still, come yourself and help me win the young men of Ireland to the allies' cause. There are grave and deep difficulties, lamentable stories of cheated hopes, unrecognized rights and hatreds for wrongs inflicted in the past. But one feature throws these matters into the proper perspective, the fact that the Germans are thundering at the gates of Paris, are hammering at the channel ports. , "If they win it will be needless to make plans for Ireland or dream dreams of liberty. Potsdam will take care of Erin. "When the Stars and Stripes was raised over the cause; when Old Glory had blown out her folds, the emblem of liberty, a sign of protection to mil lions of Irishmen, I had hoped that opposition to the allies would close. But ancient wrongs and present re sentment proved too strong." OYSTER BAY. "july 7. When in formed tonight by the Associated Press of Colonel Lynch's appeal to him for assistance in the recruiting cam paign in ' Ireland, Colonel Roosevelt displayed deep interest in the pro posal. He said, however, that he could make no formal comment until he had received personally the message from Colonel Lynch. RENT A PIANO! Fine new and used pianos for rent.

SNIPERS ARE CLEANED OUT Sergeant and Three Privates Enter Dark Dugout and Capture 16 Boehes Daring of Americans Noted. (By the Associated Press.) WITH. THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 7. The correspondent slept on the ground last night among the troops of one star company of Americans who played l prominent part in Thursday's great show. Here is a story told by one of the officers: "The Americans went into the line after a hard march. The Fritzes un doubtedly had no inkling that the at tack was to be made. At midnight Wednesday we were sent forward to lie out, ready for an advance at 3:10 o'clock Thursday morning. "Many of our boys were tired when tfiey reached the positions and despite the fact that they were just embarking on the biggest adventure of their lives a leap into the unknown they threw themselves on the ground and slept soundly. It was an encouraging sign to us, for it meant that the men were not jumpy. They never did show any sign of nerves, as a matter of fact. Australian Officers Cool. "For us officers there was no sleep. "We had to admire the coolness of the Australian officers, who told stories and laughed as if nothing was going to happen, though we Americans knew that shortly before the kick-off the gunners would put down a barrage which would be the signal for all hands on the job. "A few minutes before the barrage was due the allied artillery opened with a harassing fire and we American of ficers were out among our men hotfoot to keep them steady, fearing they might mistake it for the barrage. "Then came the barrage and we never dreamed there could be such gun fire. It was tremendous. The gun ners certainly did wonderful. The. in fantry started to advance. My men were headed for Hamel village and our first trouble was encountered in a broad belt of barbed wire in front of Boche forward lines of defenses. The tanks had opened the way through most of this, but in spots some of our men were held up for a little. Corporal Caujrht In Wires. "I saw a funny thing here. One of my corporals, who had been a guard officer in a penitentiary and has a reputation for being a hard customer in a fight, got hung up in the wire. As he had no cutters he sat down and started pulling the stuff out of bis legs, barb by barb. "A Boche got a machine on him and was making things hot, but the cor poral kept on pulling the wire, mean time roaring curses at the Huns. - " 'Frajrie a. trick Ilka this on a white man, will you? Let me out of here and I'll show you. "He got out and what he did to the Boche was a plenty. "About this time a German shell ex ploded near us and two of my men went hurtling through the air. I thought sure they were killed, but in a minute I heard one call to his pal: Hey, John, are you dead?" "From down among the churned up ground came the response: 'No, are you?' Allied Fire la Fatal. "We got through the barbed wire very well and reached the Boche front line trenches. They were thinly held and we cleared them out with bombs and rifles, on the jump. We hardly stopped here at all, but passed over toward the village. "You understand that when I speak of 'we' I am talking about the Yan kees and the Australians, for we were only helping in the show. "The support trenches, which had dug-outs, were more strongly held, but we cut our way through without much difficulty. A lot of Huns were being killed or captured by this time. From the direction of Hamel the Ger man machine guns and rifles were working hard and there was plenty of stuff coming our way. Dugouts Filled With Bodies. "When we reached Hamel we found a lot of dugouts filled with Bodies and their snipers up trees with ma chine guns. We cleaned them all out systematically. "One of our sergeants, with an American private and an Australian came upon a dugout containing four German officers and some men. The officers started to come up and one of them pulled a revolver. The sergeant shot him through the head and two of the other officers who started to fight were killed. The rest surrendered. "In another dugout one of our ser geants and three privates captured 16 Germans. "Just to the left of Hamel an Aus tralian corporal and two privates cleared out another dugout containing numerous Germans. Final Objective Kenched. "We worked around the Vafre and Hamel woods, which had been pretty well cleared of the Boche by gunfire. Just In front of Vaire wood one of our boys, whom we called 'Scotty had a great experience. He came to a dug out filled with Boches, who had been left behind the American advance. He naturally thought some of our men were there and went down. It was dark, so he called to his supposed pals. The answer was a crack on the head. "He knew then they were not Yan kees and opened fire with his rifle in the blackness. Finally, a Boche began to yell 'kamerad.' When the fight was over it was found that he had killed five . Germans and he took nine pris oners. "We got through to our final objec tives all right and carried out the con solidation without much interference from the Boche, who did not recup erate quickly."

"I made up my mind from what I read about Tanlac and from the good results my son-in-law and his father had gotten from it, that it was what I needed, too. and I have not been dis appointed. It has done me a world of good already and I am just so glad to see how perfectly my health is being restored that I feel like telling every body what is doing it. My appetite is fine, what I eat tastes good, and the fact that I have gained several pounds in weight shows how well my food agrees with me. I am so much strong er and more energetic that I can do my work without tiring like I did.
