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.

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.

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.

two children, was sought by Williams,

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."

What are gasoline,
boiling points?
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.
