The farmhouse in which the dowager empress lived was shelled three times. The humble cireumstances in which the "Romanoff family" has been livâ€" ing in seclusion on a small Crimean estate are described in a newspaper published in Kiev, a copy of which has been received, says a recent deâ€" spatch from Amsterdam.

In the meanwhile, a Hamburgâ€" American liner was sighted proceedâ€" ing without lights. The boarding party collected, the vessel was overâ€" hauled, and found to be laden with iron ore for Stettin. So quickly did the crew abandon the ship that inâ€" terrogations could not be continued. The ship was sunk similarly to the first one. After that, within a few hours, two more were similarly deâ€" spatched. On the following day the Regarding the operations against merchant vessels, the following acâ€" count is typical. A submarine sightâ€" ed and chased the steamer Exhamâ€" burg, laden with wood. The vessel was signalled, stopped and boarded, and the entire crew ordered to leave. Bubsequently the sea cocks were opened and charges placed that exâ€" ploded, and the ship sank. The torpedo got the cruiser amidâ€" ships, the magazine blowing up with a loud double report. Large masses of iron and wreckage fell around the submarine, which, before submerging observed the cruiser‘s crew assembâ€" ling on the poop. They were later rescued by a large German ferryâ€" boat. Struck Cruiser Amidships. Another submarine sighted a light cruiser of the Ancowa class. The subâ€" marine dived, manceuvred to a good position and fired, the torpedo hitting the cruiser forward, starboard. The cruiser was apparently put out of conâ€" trol. It swung around in a large circle, then stopped, fire bursting from the decks. The escorting deâ€" stroyer attacked the submarine, but the latter evaded, and fired a second time. The entire ship was hidden in grey smoke, probably due to the explosion in the fore magazine. Eight minutes later the British submarine came to the surface, and the enemy ship was gone. Her destruction was instanâ€" taneous. It was the battleship Prinz Albert. Submarine Commander â€" Goodhart espied an enemy war craft, and calâ€" culating that there was bigger game behind, skilfully manoeuvred and eventually came up with an enemy battleship escorted by _ destroyers. Half an hour later, he fired. A vivid flash and explosion followed along the water line, and tremendous conâ€" cussion ensued. ‘ SBeveral Brilliant Operations Were Carried Out in the Destruction Of Enemy War Craft. 2 Lifting the veil on the operations of the British submarines in the Baltic Sea, the Admiralty relates some stirring deeds of how these subâ€" marines were continually attacking and destroying enemy war craft.

The postman‘s mail bag at the front is nothing more than an empty sandbag, and the water carriers also use two sandbags, slung back and front, over the shoulder, each conâ€" taining a petrol tin full of water. sandbags over their feet and legs when going to bed in billets; in other words, the sandbag is Tommy‘s pyjamas. The warmth and comfort of a burlap sandbag when pulled over chilled feet is utoniillng. They make cosy mufflers in bad weather.

Tommy Likes Them for Pyjamas and For Carrying His Rations. The sandbag is one of the most useful pieces of military equipment found anywhere, and the soldier puts it to manifold uses. Its official use, of course, is to be filled with sand or clay and built into ramparts, barriâ€" cades and trenches. Unofficial uses are legion. VARIOUS USES FOR SANDBAGS. "The French morale is wonderful," he said, "and their spirit can never be broken. The first shell which dropâ€" ped on Paris from ‘Bertha,‘ the big gun, which was seventyâ€"six miles away, aroused nothing but curiosity. "It certainly will take another year before this war is ended, and perhaps many years longer than that." Mr. Levis said American troops in | large numbers have reached the front,| and that their selfâ€"reliance, dash and | coolness under fire not only have won the admiration of Tommy and the| poilu, but actually have endeared them to their cousins overseas. I "One French division that came to the aid of a British corps was virtuâ€" ally exterminated beneath the fiery blasts of this lake of fire, but they held the Germans back and turned the tide of battle in that position. They really saved the day." _ Molten Mass Moved at Allies Slew Whole Division, Says U. S. Soldier l Returned From Front. |_ _ German frightfulness in the form | of a fiery furnace of liquid fire which _moves in front of the advancing troops, a great lake of flame seventyâ€" five feet wide, has been used against | the Allied troops in the recent offenâ€" ‘live. So powerful and terrible has | been the heat that entire platoons have withered away in the blast. Mr. Levis said French and British officers, when they learned he was to return home, told him to give his people a message for an army of 5,â€" 000,000 men and 10,000 airplanes as speedily as possible. A Lake of Fire, "The recent offensive was a terrible time for the brave Allies," said this pilgrim. "The enemy used flaming gas, and in addition advanced under the protection of a forced flame exâ€" tending seventyâ€"five feet in front of them. This great mass of fire simply melted away any troops who had to stand against it. A Httle olive oil taken at meals reâ€" Lemon jelly is good served with "These tales are only too true," said Levis, who returns to aid in raising $100,000 to help feed and clothe French children orphaned by the war. "Canadians and Scotch Highlanders," he said, "have been taken prisoners and crucified before the eyes of their comrades in the trenches. They have been hanged head downward, with their throats slit, and left in this manner to die like cattle." That is a part of the story which William B. Levis, of New York, brought home from France. In addiâ€" tion, he told of the unbelievable cruelâ€" ties and torture which had been inâ€" flicted on Allied captives to create terror in the breasts of their fellows behind the English and French lines.

No other troops, he said, were availâ€" able to retake these vital positions, and their courage and determination had turned the fortunes of the day. Fighting every inch of ground, takâ€" ing tremendous toll from the attackâ€" ing Huns, sometimes with French alâ€" lies, acting often as infantry, as well ‘as horsemen, the Canadian cavalry has, since the beginning of the great German offensive, covered itself with such glory as will live for ever in Briâ€" tish military history. Their capture of the big wood north of Moreil, and the charge of a squadron into a battle of German machine guns is, according to their comrades in the cavairy corps, in a clase with Balaclava. The whole operation s regarded as the most famous action of the war. Canada must be prepared to find many of her sons gone, but the price paid was not excessive. In addition to turning the tide of battle at various places in the forward areas, they practically saved Amiens. For purposes of signalling, the Gerâ€" man battery is taken as the centre of a clock, with twelve o‘clock pointed due north. When the airman signals "ten o‘clock" he means that the shell has exploded on an imaginary line that would represent the clock hand pointed in this direction. The "three hundred yards" gives the distance beâ€" tween the exploding shell and the German battery. The business of the student is to judge the distance of the exploding shells almost instanâ€" taneously. Unless he gains great proâ€" ficiency in a short time, he has no future in the American air service. Canadians Saved Amiens and Turned Tide of Battle at Various Points. As soon as each shell explodes, a tapping is heard up in the little galâ€" lery; the student is sending a wireless message to his friends, telling them how far they have come from hitting the object. His report may take such eryptic form as "Ten o‘clock and three hundred yards." That would puzzle the uninitiated, but it locates precisely the spot where the shell has fallen. By touching the appropriate button, the instructor can light his selected bulb and cause a little flash to appear on the map, which gives an accurate representation of an exploding shell. The apprentice airman in the gallery selects the German battery that his men are attempting to destroy, and the instructor touches off his imitaâ€" tion shells. Under the map, which is of paper ant therefore transparent to light, are hundreds of little electricâ€"light bulbs. l In a gallery about "ten feet above this map sit several future aviators. They are supposed to be in aeroplanes, six thousand feet in the air. The scale of the map is so graduated that, as they gaze down upon it, the terrain appears precisely as it would look if these men were actually flying in the air at that height. Their business is to locate exploding shells, and notify their own batteries by wireless of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the aim. Shells are exploding all the time on this miniature sketch of Belgian terâ€" ritory below themâ€"not real shells, of course, but representations that conâ€" vey a complete illusion.

An article in the World‘s Work gives a particularly interesting acâ€" count of the use of a miniature range in the training of United States aviaâ€" tion students.
