FIGHT; ANOTHER MEET

the question of abolishing or at least
limiting submarine mines. and then
voted recommending to the powers the

made a deep impression.

North Mountain, had a thrilling ride
down the mountain side on a log. The
log started at the top OF the slide and
carried him with It. He managed to
get astride and feared to jump OFF be-
cause of the danger OF being crushed.
The slide inclines about so degrees, and
n log sped downward at frightful
speed. The branches of the trees
