Seven Inmates of Prison Camp

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 21
Seven enemy aliens inmates of the j
prison camp at Fort Douglas, were
shot by a guard this morning after
they had refused to obey an order J
to disperse and had attacked the
guard with stones and other missiles.
One of the prisoners was wounded

A tunnel dug by prisoners under
one of the buildings was discovered
Tuesday night. The inmates of the
prison had been in a surly mood ever
since and early today gathered out
side their barracks and began to jibe
the guard, also to pelt him with
stones.
After repeated requests to the
prisoners to disperse were unheeded
the truard fired.
The names of th prisonrs wound
ed will not be made public until a
detailed report of the matter Is sub
mitted to Washington and such in
formation as the committee on pub
lic information considers proper, is
officially given out-

attenoants.
Conducted at first independently,
the camp welfare work has been
merged with the war relief work
which the Christian Scientists were
doing In foreign countries before the
United States entered the war. For
both these purposes about $1,000,000
has been raised.
The aim of the Christian Science
ramp workers Is to be as helpful as
possible to all the men In the camps,
whether or not they are Christian
Scientists, and particularly to give
assistance which may not be avail
able at the time or place through any
of the other camp welfare agencies.
A feature of this phase of the work
Is an arrangement for keeping sol
diers and sailors in close touch with
their relatives.
Communication Quick' i
Cooperating with the committee in
Hoston, there Is a Christian Science
camp welfare committee in each
state. The committee In the home
state of a soldier or sailor cooperates
by mail and telegraph with the com
mittee of the state in which he is
encamped or stationed to form a di
rect and constant link between the
soldier or sailor and his relatives.
Thereby the relatives are quickly
made acquainted with the needs of
their boy In the service, and he is
provided with an avenue of quick
communication with his home.
This linking of home and camp
combined, with the: personal atten
tlon of the Christian Science workers
In the camps, has frequently been
the means of changing a soldier's
outlook from one. of gloom to one of
joy, and not - unirequently it has
proved to be the means of relieving
relatives of financial embarrasment,
the committee In the home state ma
king loans foriiee by the relatives
until their boy In camp should be
prepared to forward money to them.
Healings Recorded
The net result, for which the
Christian Science committees and
camp workers have received many
' commendations, has been a notice
able raising of the morale of many
men In the service and the develop
ment of a better feeling at home re
garding the participation of their
bovs in the service.
The camp workers say there Is an
Increased willingness among the
commanding officers and surgeons to
allow Christian Science treatment
for those men Srho ask for tf, and
many ' Christian Science healings
have been recorded. Recently, two
requests for Christian Science ser
vices in hospital wards were received
by camp worker from medical nurses 1
' who had observed the beneficial ef
fects of Christian Science treatment.
In or near numerous camps, the
Christian Science committees have
erected substantial buildings, with
quiet places for reading and writing,
and other buildings are in course of
construction. A light touring car
has been' added to the equipment of
the Christian Science camp workers
at each camp to be used wherever
and whenever possible in assisting
the men.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21 Six
days spent as a prisoner on a Ger
man submarine, which was so crowd
ed with men that there was scarcely
room to sleep, convinced Captain Da
vid Evans of the British steamer
Pelnstone, sunk by the U-boat, that
more exploits like the arming of
the steam trawler Triumph are con
templated by the German railers. On
his visit here, where he reported his
experienc to naval officers. Captain
Evans explained that the submarine
carried 77 men. more than twice the
number of a normal crew.
"The U-boat which sank the Pen
istone and which was my prison for
eight days, was about 200 feet over
all and carried two 6-inch guns."
Captain Evans said, after telling of
the circumstances which led to his
capture. "These guns were not pro
tected from the water in any way
when the U-boat was submerged. The
breach apparently was water tlgnt,
and the muizles were securely plug
ged when the guns were not In ac
tion. They were kept well greased.
'The officers and crew of the sub
marine weret-young men, determined
and business like. They talked very
little and adopted, more or less, the
attitude of ignoring me. The fact
that they did not attempt to extract
information from me with regard to
the movement of ships convinced me
that they were well informed in that
direction. The food was ordinary
seamen's fare.
" "The San Jose was sunk on August
19. Without explanation of any kind
I was placed In one of its small boats
and allowed to go. Evidently the U-
boat intended to make a stay on this
side and to keep me as a prisoner
wonld have been inconvenient. Had
they been making direct for Ger
man waters, I feel sure they would
have taken me along.
"The most disagreeable part of my
experience was the absolute lack of
sleeping quarters. Tie Loat. with
her double complement of men, was
shamefully overcrowded and one had
to sleep wherever there was room to
6tretch out. A lengthy cruise under
the conditions would be terribly
wearing, even on the hardiest.
''During the time I was aboard the
U-boat the deck guns were in action
one time for two hours, but with
what results I do not know, as I was
kept below and not allowed to see
what was going on."
AMSTERDAM. Aug. 21 The Co

art Lie attrtuDtinc to pne by sta
tistics that America cannot possibly j
send SOO.ooo ineU to Europe in a
month. The article declaims that
mocr than 40 troop ships aireajy
have been sunk. It continues:
"If the Americans at the front
are fighting well that doe put n--d

The Zeitung believes that eompul
rory military service Is widely op
posed and is being evaded in the
United States and it builds hope on
l e slender basis that American cas
ualty lists will increase this alleged
repugnance. The article concludes
with this argument:
"America has done more than
many expected, even in America, but
despite all surprises, American ex
pert opinion that the full weight of
h-r military power will not develop
before 1919 or even 1920. still holds

In comparison with the harder
fighting it is worthy of mention that
at some places no resistance of any
practical importance developed. For
instance, the village of Heaucourt
was taken with only three casualties.
One wounded man returning from
