FIGHT WITH
U-BOAT
LATEST stories of survivors from British ships| sunk by U-boats reveal a new phase of German pro- paganda—a bid to show neutral countries that Germany is conducting the war “humanely”-and the heroism of a boy of fourteen.
How the men of the British freighter Heronspool fought a running battle with a U-boat for seven hours and, after the ship had been sunk, drifted in leaking boats till they were picked up by the U.S. liner President Harding, was told by the fourteen-year- old mess boy, Frank Elders, of Hartlepool.
"LET US FISH FOR MINES"
Seamen Join Up
"We do not forget that the safety of these islands depends on the untiring watchfulness of our seamen, as it has done ever since the days of Queen Eliza- beth." Mr. Chainberlain's -tri- bute to British seamen in his speech last night.
:
Elders calmly carried coffee and food to the gunners during the battle.
As he did this job, certain that sooner or Inter the Herons- pool would be hit by the sub- marine, Elders whistled as hap- pily as a London errand boy.
The U-heat sent a more message for un to stop. We replled with a shot and kept on moving,” he said.
"The subinarine eventually came so close that it seemed as though we were looking right into the gun's mouth. We went on firing.
"Suddenly I heard someone say, Here it is, then came an explosion, Oh, mother I'll never hear another: like it. Our main mast fell, end the bridge and all the steering ap- paratus.

From Ocean Bottom To search for the radium
the expedition will use a "deep-sea gun," which can be fired on the bottom of the ocean as far as alx miles down. The gun is lowered to the bottom on a cable, and in fired automatically. The explosion drives a hollow metal tube deep into the ocean floor, When the tube is hauled to the surface Fit contains a cross section of "core" of the ocean bottom sediment which has been slowly accumulating for millions of years, states the British United Press.
