They are Joseph Spath, a leading mer-

It is feared that many more lives
were lost in the valley below Colman.
The cloudburst, which followed three
days. unprecedented rainfall, caused
Fords creek to burst through its banks
and rush through Colman, a village Of
less than 1000 inhabitants.
2ewildered citizens, reused from
their slumbers, rushed into tho streets
and were swept away. Many were
saved by catching hold Of pieces Of
timber and navigating them into eddies
formed by the swift current, where
they were 4rawn ashore.
Spath and 'Fuleisstine managed to
mount their horses and ride to house
where four little girls were screaming
for help. Each rescued two of the chill.
dren, whom they took upon their
horses. The animals were swept away,
however, in noble effort to stem the
swift current and all were drowned.

GERMAN OFFICERS PAY.

Teutonic Commanders Receive Less
Than British Contemporaries.
It will be interesting it we compare the
status and pay Of German officers Of the
navy with those serving in the British
marine. A German admiral of the fleet
receives 5000 per annum, free furnish
ed house, firing and light, ESQ for car
rage hire and table money and allow
ances, an additional $500. His total in
come, therefore. is FL $50 per annum. A
British admiral on the home command
receives from f3,420 to f3,967. The Ger
man captains salary is 1890, that of the
Englishman f41O to 1920. A German
lieutenant in command has f195, an Eng
lish lieutenant in the same position f2O1
to ETA. A chief inspector Of machinery
afloat in the British navy has $3.50, in
Germany only 1880. A British feet sur
geon has f493 to E602, a German 1890.
It will thus be seen that the British off,
GERS, all through, are in better pecunia-
ry position than those in the German
feet. German marine officers are usually
taken from the same rank as in England.
\; Before becoming midshipman or sea

being prominent part Of his work. He
is then placed on a training ship for a
year, and after passing satisfactory ex-
animation he h removed to the marine
school for another year. The technical
knowledge obtained here is then employed
for two years at sea, and should the can
didate: for the naval. profession prove
himself competent he is promoted at the
end Of these two years to the rank Of
lieutenant. During the first ten years of
a German naval officers career his In
