:::: Strange etenta have marked the
xj; submarine warfare and the marine in
surance that helps block its alms The j
Orleans braved the suhtnurlne zonc|
a short time after the Germans had
g: declared ruthless warfare against all
•g vessels entering the so-called barred
zones. The vessel was unmarked by
:g tlte ridiculous striped effect Germany
•x ordered American vessels to wear.
This vessel and another freighter, the
Rochester, were the first to show the 1
Germans, with whom the United
•jp States was not then at war, that the
t';! American merchant marine would con
tinuc to sail under the American flag
X; in the face of threats to sink without
*.%
:g warning.
For a year both vessels successfully
:g evaded submarine attacks, although
gi both were pursued several times.
Within the last six months the enemy
gi got both, but due to wark risk and
marine Insurance, their owners were
enabled for a year to operate without
x risk of financial loss

iHOW COULD THEYFIGHT :
WITHOUT “THE SCORE"?
—
LONDON. Aug. 20.—Baseball scores
and the latest news from the States j
are being supplied to American sol j
diors and sailors in every corner of
England and Scotland by United Press
bulletins, through the Y. M. O. A.
One of the most harrowing features
of life in the Isles for many Ameri
cans has been the lack of news that
is news. The American boys have
complained that their British cousins
have no idea of the value of freshness
in news. The want is supplied now
by a dally telegraphic condensed news ,
service, furnished to the boys with
out cost.
