They were driving through Cow

they sajw that the planks had ben
torn up and so piled a to compel
aa auto to stop. Parsons Jumped
out removed the obstruction, noting

Intentionally placed as h found it
He hurried back to th ear and
drove on. Just a ha finish d re
moving the obstruction, n man by a
camp fir about 100 feet from the
bridge gar a shrill whlsU vhich
Parsons believe was a signal to a
confederate.
Th quickness with which th car
was stopped, th obstruction removed
and a freah start mad, prevented
developments by th would-be hold
up artists, aa Parsons beUtrea then
to be. Th place waa an ideal on
for soch a porformanc. being in a

London, Jun 21. The weekly
list of British losses in torpedoed
ships shows the highest total in many
weeks, th number of ship sunk be
ing comparable to th worst week
since the ruthless U-boat campaign
began. The returns week by week
for the last three months show that
th U-boat activities run in waves
and it is assumed that this week is
the crest of a period of super-activity
noticed the previous week.
Th situation, however. Is not re
garded over-pesslml8tically by naval
men who insist that the admiralty
methods of fighting the submarines
are constantly growing in efficiency.
In support of this they point to the
constantly increasing number or
boats which escape the submarines.
