An immense log raft was sighted a mile off shore her today, with no towing vessel in sight. San Francisco, Aug. " 7. (I. N. S.) The marine department of the Chamber of Commerce' today received a report from Sheriff Cijjertxton, that a big log raft waa drifting off shore near Santa Cruz, No towing vessel was to be seen and fears were entertained that it has met with disaster. The raft, enroute from the Columbia river to San Diego, was presumed to have been towed by the Steamer Benito Juarez. The Chamber of Commerce had no information regarding the where abouts of the Benito Juarez nor her pos sible fate, if she has met with disaster. The voyage of the Benito Juarez with the log raft, belonging to the Benson Logging company, was ill fated from the start. At the outset the cable part ed and new tackle had to be secured, Then the raft was rolled over the Clat sop spit gas buoy No. 12, wrecking It and causing the tank ship W. F. Her- rln to go on the sands. The raft rolled across the channel and hit a nun buoy on the other side and then went ashore on the north jetty sands. Down the coast the Benito Juarez re ported she had lost her tow and then that she had recovered it. The last re port from the tug was when she was off Blunt's reef, signaling for a tug and provisions. No mention was made of the raft at that time. fTwo days later a vessel reported running through a fleet of logs five miles In length, and mariners here believed the tow had broken up. Since that time, About a week ago, no word was received until today's dis patch, which indicates that the drifting logs may have been those of the Ham mond Lumber company's raft towed by the Hercules and which was lost some time previous, both ends being saved. however.

At no time, even when the shells were dropping at regular 15-minute inter vals during the whole day, was there any interruption In the normal city life. Cafes Alo'ng Boulevards Tnroaged The cafes along the grand boule vards were thronged with their usual patrons, who remained quite un alarmed though occasional explo sions would occur close enough to rattle the glasses on their tables. No one thought of seeking the cellars as they did for air raids. In the matter of material damage, the shells accomplished very little. In onjy one instance during the bom bardment through the spring was there any considerable loss of life due to a shell. That occurred on Good Friday, when one of the pro jectiles struck the church of St. Ger vais during services and killed or wounded 200 of the worshippers. Three Gibs Destroyed Three weeks after .heir appearance French aviators located the guns some 12 miles behind the German lines, di rectly north of Compeigne. There were three of them, mounted in the form of a triangle. One cannon exploded, killing its entire crew and the other two, with the aid of the airmen as ob servers, were destroyed by huge French naval guns brought up for that purpose. Over 50,000 francs was voluntarily subscribed by the grateful citizens of Paris and given to the artillerymen and aviators who put the guns out of com mission. A month elapsed before new guns were mounted by the Germans and shortly after they commenced action . in the month of May, the intrepid French airmen discovered them and again di rected their destruction. Gun Has Failed of Purpose No one will deny that the con struction of. a gun that shoots 76 miles is an achievement from a sci entific standpoint. But, like many other devices, all tending to make war more horrible, created by the exponents of "Kultur,"' the desired results are lacking. The gun has failed to lower the morale of the inhabitants of the French capital. It has failed to ter rorize them and on the contrary has only given an added impetus to the French determination to con tinue the war until the militaristic "Huns"" are vanquished. It has placed one more black mark on the already long list for which the kai ser and hi leaders shall some day ' have, to .account. ; . .
