Home.war'd,B.ound Steamer Attacked By Hun 130 Helpless ' Patients Being Sent to Their Death When Ship Went Down. A British Port, The torpedoing early Monday morning of the British ship Warllda was one of the most har-rowing disasters In the history of sub-marine warfare. JThe number of dead is variously estimated from 103 to 130 and upward, and "Includes several women nurses. Th3 ship carried COO sick and wounded. Among them were seven Americans two officers and five en-listed men, all of whom have been ao counted for. There were aboard 89 nurses anl members of the voluntary aid depart-ment, and the crew comprised about 200 men . '. , More than 630 survivors, brought here shortly after 6 o'clock, were given first-ai- d treatment, food and clotting. The patients were placed aboard special trains and sent to hos-pitals. . The torpedo struck the after part of the engine room, killing the third en-gineer and two other members of the engine room force. The dynamo was ' destroyed, plunging the vessel lntj darkness. Just over the dynamo was the ward; room, which contained more than 100 patients. Most of these wetv killed outright by the expW.r.u, and the others, many of whom had been fresh-ly Injured by the torpedo, found them-selves trapped. It was Impossible for outside aid to reach them, and all ex-cept a few who Jumped overboard and were picked up, perished. This part of the 'ship quickly settled and water flooded the wardroom, drowning the men caged there. Stories of the fearful struggle in the darkness to rescue helpless in-valids are told by survivors. The ship remained afloat more than two hours, but for a great part of the time con-tinued under headway, because the en-gines could not be stopped. This con-dition greatly hampered the rescue work, and In addition three or four boats were smashed while being low-ered, throwing the occupants Into the ' sea. ' v ' , - ' ' . !

The proposition that is offered you is as follows: - g There are 020 acres of Und in Utah's most fertile belt, without any excep-- 8 . ' tion. You will be shown, and you will see with your own eyes the same lartd 8 producing this year 30 to 60 bushels of wheat per acre at $2 00 per bushel. jj j ' of beets acre at $10.00 per ton, 4 to g Figure for yourself 12 to 20 tons sugar per , B 5 tons of alfalfa, and the greatest alfalfa seed district in the world, as taken j 8 two world's fair prizes'. These three crops can be sold successfully every yer, m 8 as the climate is perfect for such crops and the water right is one of the old- - , g. 8 - est and best in the State. ' ' ' ., ' 8 8 ' Sugar factories are continually running spurs wherever they can get beets 8 raised. In this district there is one of the best sujrar factories in the state. 8 B Grain elevators, near several good towns, transcontinental railway running g 8 v through the valley, land 6 to 8 miles from the station. This land is known 8 ; 8 as bud sage land, sandy loam, easy to clear, but very little leveling. We would 3 , B advise putting in fall wheat if possible. ...j a 8 The sale price of this land is $60.00 per acre, nothing down and at-th- e . g 8 end of the first year 10 per cent of the purchase price, with 6 per cent inter m g g est and 20 per cent each year thereafter, with 6 per cent interest. Bea- - in B m s g mind you are running no chances as you will be shown the same land pro-- g H H m ducing this' year, and never was farmed before.

The following letter was received a few days ago by the editor of this paper from lAwrence .'A. Southwick who is now in training at the Un'ver-slt- y of Colorado, located in Boulder: While the boyo from Utah were here we surely had a Jolly time, atid learned much. We were treated royal-ly by the people of the University also the townspeople. Much entertain-ment waa provided, and every oppor-tunity was given the men to study, loam and entertain themselves In va-rious was. Two weeks ago the majority of the Utah contingent lft here and are now at Camp Dodge, Iowa. We get reports froui there nearly every day that they are all making good, along side of men that have been In train-ing for longer periods, many of them have aLo received various ranks. Al-so a goodly number of the boys are on the seas, some in foreign countries and mr-n-y all ready to leave. Twcuty-on- e of the boys were kept here as military Instructors and as assistant Instructors In the Univers-ity. Five out of the twenty-on- e were selected as candidates for the Offic-ers Training Camp. Threo of the can-didates left here ten days ago. An-other sargeant and myself expect to leave for an officers training camp some time this week, to where we do not know as yet. It will be how-ever that very familiar place "some-where In America," ' 'We are now assisting In the train-ing of 250 Colorado men. The work Is very Interesting. The men are all full of pep, and very anxious to get "over there" and have a go at th Huns. Yea, and believe me the most of us are going to got there. 1 consider the U. S. Army plans and workings wonderful. It Is very inter-esting and fascinating work. Our offi-cers are very consistent men and sure-ly got results from the raw material that tney get to work with. Some of it Is surely green, but when they leave hero, my there Is a difference In just two short months of training. They leave with heads up, proul and determined attitudes, cheerful, never doubtln? the final outcome with the jlluns. that is victory mr the Allies.
