4. Rescue of the imprisoned sailors of the submarine S-5, off the Delaware Capes early yesterday, was accomplished barely in time to save their lives, according to stories brought ashore by the crew of the destroyer Billingsby, one of the vessels that wect to the submersible's Her head pointing down and her stern projecting into the air because of flooded forward compartments, the submarine's crew was forced to close the water-tight doors between tme sections and take refuge in the aft compartments, where they were jammed together with practically no air. Before they could close the doors leading to the flooded compartments, water seeped into the aft compartments and by mixing with the sulphuric acid of the ship's batteries generated chlorine which almost suffocated the crew. Raise Distress Signal Officers of the Billingsby said the commander of the submarine finally permitted his crew to drill a small hole through the ship's stern through which a rod was pushed with a distress signal attached. The submarine's crew apparently realized their ship's stern was out of water, members of the Billingsby's crew believed.

Fine Pay for Enforcing -National Prohibition By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. National prohibition is paying its way, according to Federal Prohibition Commis sioner John F. Kramer. "Collection of fines for violations of taxes on the liquor business insofar as it still ex ists equals the cost of enforcing prohibition, I believe," said Kramer today.

1 A similar statement was made' by Daniel C. Roper before he retired as commissioner of Internal Revenue Bureau of which the prohibition enforcements office is part. Appropriations for enforcement of national prohibition so far total $8,500,000, of which $750,000 must be assigned to "enforcement of the law against use of narcotic drugs. Approximately $2,000,000 was allowed for guarding more than 000,000 gallons of liquor in bonded warehouses. Appropriations so far made are intended to last until June 80, 1921.

The cost or enforcing prohibition therefore averages about $430,000 monthly. Union Deposit News; U. B. Church Services UNION DEPOSIT, Sept. 4.
