Ou the return voyage Mrs. Hales' vessel was attacked twice by submarines. The first attack was late on a clear morning. A lookout sighted a periscope and the wake of a torpedo speeding toward lhe ship. Thc vessel veered and the torpedo passed 50 feet astern. Then the naval gnu crew uuliinheied llieir camion and lhc U-boat disappeared. The next attack resulted disastrously for another of the kaiser's sea terrors. The U-boat fired two torpedoes, which missed. Naval gunners scut a hail of shot toward thc periscope. Mrs. Bates counted 68 shots. Thc captain of the gnu crew wouldn't tell what happened, but ship gossip had il that the gun crew's first shot disabled the "sub," and that later it went down. ln London Mrs. Bales saw llie first Zeppelin downed by all English airplane. She and her husband were awakened by the roar of bursting bombs. They hurried into the street. Hundreds of fingers of light darted through the sky and finally the Zeppelin was flooded with light.

A.s a granary of the Empire ami a source of supplies for lhe Hriiish armies, India has played a notable part. Since the outbreak of war she has scut Britain wheat lo the value of li fly-five million dollars.

Details of the Thrilling Adventures of a British Airplane That Flew from London to Constantinople and Successfully Bombeii Turkish Warships and War Office and Returned Safely -?<*�� -i Parmin.nt Pp��P-> The story of a British battle air- for a rermaneiu 1 eaee | _)an_,s |]ig>t (o Congtant--.Opi0 f,(������ London and its sequel, in the bombing of German headquarters and ihe Turkish war oflicc there, was lold recently by Haudlcy I'agc and Basil Johnson, whose firm, Bulls Roycc, Ltd., built the engines that flew the 2,0011 mile- without a hitch. Leading up at Hcndon, the machine proceeded to I'aris and Lyons, and to avoid lhe Alps continued by way of Marseilles. From Marseilles thc journey was b> way of Spczla to Pisa, Rome, and N'aples, which was the last point on - er friendly counlry. The next and perhaps most difii- eutt stage of the journey wus over the Albanian Alps to Saloniki, a trip of 250 miles aeror.- rjountains varying from 7,000 to w.OOQ feet ir. height, with no suitabn. place for a landing iu case of need.

Unfortunately they missed the ship, but thci manage- to hit one or two submarines that were lying alongside her. Turning on their course, thc British airmen made another altaek on the Gocbcn and this time, in spite of the attentions of a number of Turkish and German anti-aircraft guns, managed to plant four bombs on thc hat- tie cruiser. Then Ihey flew up ro a ship called The General, which was the headquarters of the German staff and dropped two bombs on her, to the great consternation of naval and military officers assembled in her saloons. One morc target too tempting lo be missed altracted the intrepid aviators, and they next made their way lo that part of the city where lhc Turkish war office is situated, and dropped two bombs on the building. After half an hour's bombing of Constantinople the airmen turned round and slarled back to their base, Flight- Commander McLellan relieving his chief in steering. They had not escaped without damage, but even after one engine had becn put out of action, they were able lo get away without serious damage from guns below. Handley Page said lhat Engineer Lieut.

You have come to realise that nervous diseases do not right themselves, and therefore feel the necessity of some treatment to help you hack to health and strength. How comes the all-important question as to what Dr. Chase's Nerve Food will do for you. Basing our answer on a knowledge of the restorative value of the ingredients contained in this food cure, and on the experience of those who have proven its curative powers under the most trying conditions, we want to tell you that��� It will make your blood rich and red, It will nourish the starved nerve cells back to health and vigor.
