8 MEN KILLED WHEN GERMANS SHELL LIFEBO ATS (Correspondence of Associated Press) July 3u. Kignt men were killed and several wounded by the shelling by a German submarine of the Ufo boats of the Elder Dempster steamer Addah, which was torpedoed on June 15, according to an official version ot the affair. One boat was sunk by shrapnel fire from the submarine and the survivors were sprayed with shrapnel while they were in the water waiting for the other boats to pick them up. The official narrative says that tne submarine commander went along side of the Addah's life-boats and made use of her to send some of the crew of the submarine on board the Addah lust before the steamer sunk. When the submarine's crew had been returned to their craft, the officer in command of the dife boat was ordered to move away from the submarine.

By this time," the official state ment reads, "the boat commanded by the captain of the Addah which already was badly smashed by one of the shells from the submarine, was about three or four hundred, yards away from the German eraft, The submarine again opened fire on the captain's boat with shrapnel, killing eight men and taking tne boatr. stern off. Even after the boat had been sunk and the men were swim ming in the water, the submarine shelled them with shrapnel. When the German thought he had finished verybody who was in the captain's boat, he then opened fire on the chief olhcer's boat, firing eight shrapnel. Fortunately nobody was killed, only holing the boat, breaking the oars and wounding several men slightly.

"After this the submarine com mander waved to the chief officer to go over to the position where the cap tain and several other people were swimming about to pick them up, and the submarine then went away on the surface, "The captain and the remainder of the men were then picked np and taken aboard the. chief officer's boat, and were eventually picked up by a Pvoncll nfttrnt steamar HI 1 if a 1 1. nam. uuweru mmnuuieu This," the statement adds, a theae personally and the bureau an( gallant record for seamen of A petition in bankruptcy of unusual Interest was filed in the S. district clerk's office today.

One day last week 54 loads wore sold for a total, of more than 17000. Local elevator men are very opti mistic over the wheat growing possi bilities of the county.
