The gun crew of the transport
was thrown into action and the
stern gun was opened up at 2‘"
enemy craft. At this time the un-
dersea boat showed fight, and, re-
maining on top of the water, began
to drop shrapnel shells on the
transport.
(filming her shrapnel guns, the
submarine crew let loose one of
her torpedoes, but the transport
maneuvered in time to let it pass,
startling close to her stern. Letting
loose again with shrapnel, the Ger-
man crew worked efl'ectively, sev-
eral shots finding their mark. The
crew of the transport were hav-
ing trouble with the range. To add
to the transport 's predicament,

In connection with this drive, the
the Norwalk hospital may be called
upon by the navy department in case
of need. It will be recalled that some
time ago. the United fitataea Govern-
ment took a census of tho hospital
needs, with the view 0! using the hos-
pitals as they become necessary.
Norwalh is practically a aeacoasl
town. The tact that it is so near to
New York city makes this city panic
ularly convenient for the using at the
Norwalh hospital tor wounded and
convaleaclng soldiers and sailors.
The possibility of the hospital be
ing used for this purpose makes it
quite necessary ihst Norwalk provide
all the necessaries in case 0! need
There is no‘deflnite atatelcent that
the hosital will be used tor that pur
pose. but that it my be is not with-
out the bounds of reason and Norwail
must be prepared.

.cd by Mrs. bit-Gregor have. generous
.in altered their time in the. interests

_A marvel satin *l
of rare beauty.
Who could imagine a satin of wondrous lustet
and heavy texture, that'glowod and flashed almosti
,as the sun itself, and that was not woven from silken
threads! .
.' Yet here is a marvel satin that is exactly such
fabric. .
Not true silk—but an artificial silk that has al<
most more beauty and richness than real silk.
Not woven in ordinary fashion but so woven
that it seems to have been knitted with impressing
fineness.
So heavy and staunch and true that it falls into
pleats or folds of splendid cfi'cct.
' What glowing and glorious skirt it will make
for Spring and Summer wear.
6 Colors are as marvelous as the texture of this
satin :—--rosc and blue of remarkable beauty, a golden
tan, a handsome ivory, and a deep black.
Too, there is white with great big striking licau- - .
tiful dots iii black or purple or man orgreeii. r
And there is white illarked off into large open ‘
