Thrilling Moment

II was at an English LOCI that a
diver was working at massive gates,
when current, caused by the shutting
Of the gates for his inspection, sucked
him of his feet and he felt himself
being drawn between the smooth gates
with nothing at which to grasp. And
with the shutting his air hose and life
line would be cut as with knife. But
in fash came an inspiration. As he
was swept through he took his ham,
mer and held the iron bead between
the closing gates and hung there. He
dared not signal to be drawn up, for
to tug at him would mean death. But
the men above quickly realized that
something was the matter and they
swung the gates open again, and not
till then did they slowly draw the diver
TO the surface and to safety.-Techni-

Berlin.-Among German military
and naval officers the possibility of
conflict between the United States.
and Japan has been quite freely dis
cussed and the professional views TAX
en- seem to be that Japan would take
the Philippine islands and place upon
the United States the necessity OF
conducting across the Pacific pro-
longed sea and land campaigns, which
would call for immense expeditions
against natural obstacles. 1t was
known here in June that the British
admiralty had considered theoretical
ly the possibility of war between ia
pan and the United States as likely
to occur within twenty-five years, and
some of the British naval men are re-
ported to have expressed the belief
that the contest would occur within
five years. In any case, it is certain
that several European foreign officers
are at present making inquiries re-
garding the temper of the Japanese
people and the government of Japan.
