SIMON LAKE TO LEAVE Us.
Submarine Boat Inventor Is Going e
Europe. where He's Appreciated.

Simon Lake, inventor of a submarine
boat that was not accepted by the Govern.
ment, arrived last night from Antwerp
aboard the Red Star liner Finland. appar'
emily much displeased with the attitude Of
his fellow Americans toward the Lake
boat. He has been abroad six months, and
announced as he landed that just as soon
as he can settle up his affairs he would
expatriate himself, becoming resident,
il not a citizen, OF Germany. He declared
that he would open an Office In Berlin,
without an American connection, and said
that he would build submarines OF the
very best sort, capable of remaining under
water forty-eight hours without endanger-
ing the lives of the crews.
Mr. Lake said that the submarine would
be the lattleship destroyer Of the future.
It was the only boat that could safely dis
charge a Whitehead torpedo with assurance
Of destructive results and get away with.
out being harmed. The Lake boat had
been exhibited in competition with other
submarines abroad and had shown herself
70 he practically perfect type.
He said that she had descended 1877 feet
deeper than any of her competitors and
deeper than any boat designed in America.
In certain harbor abroad, the name OF
which Mr.. Lake said he did not want to
tell, one Of his boats had run around a
battleshp without being detected and,
although all hands aboard were on the
watch, had stolen unseen far up into the
river.
Mr.. Lake said he had secured many
fne contracts on the strength OF the per-
formanoes of his boat. He declined to
tell what Governments had ordered his
boats, but let the reporters infer that Russia
was one.
In response to the question, DO you
intend to establish plant in Germany?"
Mr.. Lake said that newspaper men had
the privilege Of making inferences from
certain facts. The reporters naturally said
they did not see how Mr.. Lake could very
we'll manufacture his boats here with an
office in Berlin and no Office or representative
in America.
Mr.. Lake minated that Germany, Spain,
France and Italy wsre more alive To th.
value Of the submarine than other nations.

as she had a larger fleet than any other
country

FIRST VOLUNTEER IN WAR.
"Bucky" o'Neill of the Roosevelt
Rough Riders Who Fell at
: San Juan Hill.

The first volunteer mustered into
the army for the war with Spain was
"Bucky" O'Neill. He entered as a
private, but was afterward made cap
tain of troop A, of Roosevelt's rough
riders. His laconic expression: who
would not gamble for a starr" in re-
sponse to somebody who remon-
strated with him for enlisting as a
private, made the rounds of the coun-
try. Whether the star he meant was
Cuba, statehood for Arizona through
the gallantry of her sons, or a briga-
dier's rank for himself has never been
definitely settled. A fellow captain
of the rough riders, who was present
when the remark was made, told me
that a brigadier's star was meant
"Bucky" O'Neill was killed in the
battle of San Juan, July, 1898, as he
walked up and down before his line
of waiting men, talking to Capt.
Howse, of the artillery. Bullets were
tipping all about him. Somebody re-
monstrated with him for exposing
himself so reclllessly. You'll be
killed sure, captain"
"The Spanish bullet that will kill
me is not yet nodded" he said, with
a laugh.
AS he turned on his heel bullet
struck him in the mouth and came
out at the back of his head, so that
even before he fell his gallant soul
had gone out into the darkness.
In this sentence Col. Roosevelt tells
of the passing of "Bucky" O'Neill
that strange character who smoked
cigarettes and quoted Whitman on the
battlefield, who fought all his gusty
lifetime against injustice to the w ak,
but loved a row as schoolboy does
a holiday. His life work is written
deep in territory redeemed from
iawlessness. To understand "Bucky'
O'Neill you must know Arizona-its
turbulent, youthful energy, its big
ness and it's breadth-above all, its
unfiEching loyalty to manhood.
