"Q" SHIPS DO GOOD WORK .levrlattons Made Concerning One Phase or British Warfare Against Enemy Divers Schooner Gladys 51. Hollelt Sank. fcONDOX. Aug. . Revelations re garding the work of British mystery craft known as "Q" ships, which have played an Important part In anti-sub marine warfare, are made by the naval correspondent of the Times. Uow a "woman and baby," accounted for a U-boat is told by the correspond ent. The submarine ordered a vessel to surrender and fired a few shells into her. The boats then left the ship, leaving on beard a woman who had run up and down the deck with a baby in her arms as if mad. The U-boat came along-side the vessel and the woman hurled the "baby" into the open hatch. The "baby exploded and blew out the bottom of the subma rine. The "woman" was decorated with the Victoria cross. Haystack Coneeal Battery. On another occasion a retired Ad miral, serving; a a captain, placed a narslack on board an ancient looking craft. When the U-boat ordered her to surrender the Germans were astonished to receive a broadside from the hay stack. I A seaworn tramp steamer was cross, leg the North Sea when a submarine ordered the crew to abandwn the ship. So sure was the German of his prey that the bombs with which he intended to sink the vessel were brought on deck around the conning tower. It required only a shell or two from the tramp's concealed armament to explode the bombs and blow the U-boat out of the water. r lees bacaqe A itf-.fi. fjT 90 CVULd,.

The Germans replied so feebly with their fire that there were no American casualties; Peasants Foaad la Cave. Ninety French peasants who had been living In a large cave near Ville-Savoye, southwest of Fismes. were rescued by the Americans . after ' having passed through two battles - and remaining prisoners to the Germane for five weeks. When dlecovered by the Ameri cana the peasants were nearly starved, their scant supplies of food having; been almost exhausted before the last bat tle of the Veale began. The cave formerly was a quarry and when the Germans arrived in the neighborhood In the latter part of May the peasanta round about Ville-Savoye assembled in the cave, rather than leave the vicinity of their homes. The entrance to the cave waa at tne foot of a hill, great layers of rock and earth acting; as a covering;. Food Snpply Scant. Many shells had struck close to the roof, several exploding directly over the place where the peasanta bad taken refuge, but the thick rock and earth roof waa not damaged. "The peasants took all the supplies possible from their farms, but finally were compelled to appeal to the Ger mans for additional food. They were given an allowance so scanty that they were compelled to forage for susten ance, but this procedure waa difficult. owing to the fact that the invaders al lowed them to seek food only within a prescribed area. The refugees mainly were elderly men and women with a few children. When the Americans arrived many of the peasants Knelt In prayer at their deliverance. NEW TORK. Aug. .

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMT IN FRANCE. Aug. 6. (By the Associated Press.) Two enemy raids In the Woevre were beaten ' off yesterday evening by the Americans. The following officers and men have been commended in orders for gallant conduct during the raid July 20 in the Vosges: Captain Roy N. Perkins, First Lieu tenants Will Rolff, Paul W. Masters, Louis E. Scott and Walter S. Klrkpat- rick; Second Lieutenant Arthur L. Tbeles, Sergeant Judson Walker, Cor poral Carl W. Turner and Privates Earl D. Sullivan and Earl P. BJuser. (By the Associated Press,) Conditions along the Vesle be tween Solssons' and Rheima are un changed. There have been no develop ments of importance on the line run ning from the region of Montdldler toward the English Channel. In both regions there is a tenseness which seems to forecast big events. Rain Hampers Allies. Heavy rainfalls doubtless are having more to do with the holding in leash of Marshal Foch's troops than the op position the Germane are throwing in their way. The Germans have been shelling the Americans and French on the northern bank of the Vesle or delivering heavy counter-attacks against them, but everywhere they have met with a stone wall of resistance. They also have deluged the southern line of the stream with shells of all calibers. Including gas projectiles, and even have brought their famous flame throwers Into play, but all to no pur pose. The allies everywhere have re mained firm. Where the Germans have thrown sheila in the Fismes sector, American missiles have been returned with added interest. This particular sector has been a veritable inferno. Gas in large quantities was released against the Americans, who virtually were un harmed by the fumes. A kindly switch in the wind at one time even turned back the gas against the enemy. The French also have answered the Ger mans in kind. Huns Hove North. During the hiatus In the fighting on the Soissons-Rheims sectors the Ger mans are believed to be moving their main bodies northward to the positions chosen for a stand. Aa inkling of what the Germans have lost in men made prisoner and guns captured by the allies has become publio through an utterance of the French Premier at a session of the Ministerial Council, at which General Foch was made a Marshal of Franoe. "Thirty-five thousand prisoners and 700 cannon have been captured," said the Premier, who added that Paris no longer was in danger; that Solssons and Chateau Thierry had been recap tured, and that 200 villages had been delivered through the formidable thrust of Foch s men through the Soissons- Rheims salient. The French north of Montdldier have crossed to the west side of the Avre River between Branches and MorlseL Here a fairly deep penetration into the German line would become a direct menace to the junction point of the armies of the German Crown Prince and of Crown Prince Rupprecht. On both sides of Amiens, where the Ger mans have given ground, they now are heavily selling British positions. In Monday night's attempted Zeppe lin raid on London one of the big diri gibles was sent crashing in flames into the North Sea by British airmen, while another, wounded by the guns of the defending fliers, had to scurry home ward to evade destruction. Of the five machines which set out on the mission of devastation, not one reached London. HUN HATE REVEALED 3 KILLINGS DUE TO MONEY Co. nova, S. D., Triple Murder Is Traced to Financial Dispnte. CANOVA. S. D., Aug. 6. A Coroner's jury summoned to Investigate the triple shooting tragedy In the Royal Hotel here last night decided that Mrt F. M. Dexter, wife of a local banker. was shot and killed by the woman who gave her name as Mrs. J. L.

Hamburg Paper Insists That in , Case Americans Are Released Their Cases Should Be Last to Be Considered. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 6. Discussing the proposed exchange of American and German war prisoners, the Nach richten, of Hamburg, advises the Ger man government to reject all such overtures on the following grounds: First The Americans, by this agree ment, would enjoy exceptional treat ment, which, besides being unfair to the other prisoners, would enormously facilitate recruiting in America. Second Assuming that the Ameri cans have taken fewer prisoners than the Germans, it would be natural for the allies of. America, to make ud the requisite numoer or prisoners, which would indirectly enhance America's re. puted achievements. The newspaper further demands that as a retaliation for America's dis graceful entry Into the war' the Idea of an exchange should be entertained only after all other prisoners are re leased. Further Conditions Named. A further condition to this exchange. it says, should be that the American Government release the officials of the Hamburg-American Steamship Com pany, and that the slandenous and in sulting persecution to which Germans in America are subjected cease forth with." . - There Is Increasing anxiety In Ger many over the situation as it has de veloped in recent months, according to a dispatch to the Handelsblad. The dis patch reads: The number of those in Germany, who, like Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, former Foreign Secretary, are con vinced that force of arms will not put Germany on hen feet again, is steadily growing. "There is sufficient Justification for less comfortble feeling now than a few months ago, not only as a result of the retreat from the Marne and the American danger, but also on ac count of the precarious political and economic situation in Austria. Russia Main Danger Point. "The Russian question, however. Is the one which causes the greatest anxiety to all." ZURICH, Switzerland. Aug. 6.

The boiling point of any liquid is the temper ature at which it vaporizes. GasoEne has boiling points ranging from the very low to the high, and in "Red Crown" they, form a uniform, continuous, unbroken chain. The value of gasoline lies in this uniform con tinuity of its boiling points. Combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flashes on through the gas. The continuous chain of boiling points from the 'ow to the high is necessary for instantane ous, full-powered combustion. Eliminate one link and the power chain is broken. Only a straight-distilled, all -refinery gasoline can have the continuous chain of boiling points. Mix tores always have "holes" in them. Red Crown, the Gasoline of Quality, is a straight distilled, all-refinery fuel having the full and complete chain of boiling points necessary for steady, depend able power: Low boiling points for eacy starting, medium boiling points for quick and smooth acceler ation, and high boiling points for power and mileage.
