that nations ships have been blown up
by their own mines
Is Risky Work
The mine sweeper's task is a risky
one because the contact mines are very
quick on the trigger" The slightest
contact Of a vessel serves to set them
off. and sometimes even being dragged
from vertical position, as when they
are caught by the wire net Of the
sweepers, will cause the mine TO ex-
plOde.
But such an explosion as this is not
often fatal. While one Of these mines,
exploded by contact with a ship, is
powerful enough to destroy a dread
naught, the force Of the explosion does
not carry far through the water.

MINE SNEEPERS
ARE REAL HEROES
At Risk of Own Lives They
Sweep the Seas of Dan
gerous German Mines.
RY HERRERT TEMPLE.

London, Eng, Sept 17.-There are in
this great war more naval heroes than
those who wear gold lace on the bridge
and brilliant uniforms on the quarter
deck. Among these are the mine
sweepers, who daily take their lives in
their hands, that British warships and
merchant vessels may have safe pass
age in the North Sea
These mine sweepers are naval re-
serves and they use trawlers for their
hazardous work Their task is to re-
move from British waters the death
dealing mines strewn by the German
mine planters. Every move they make
they place their lives in jeopardy. but
the traWlers proceed slowly, with the
sailormen in their lookouts
Mine sweeping is done in this way:
Two traWlers work together, accom-
panied by destroyer Each trawler
drags behind her a steel hawser with a
heavy iron weight on the end, that
scrapes along the bottom Of the sea
These two iron weights are connected
by wire The two trawlers are thus
connected by the wire, which forms the
mine net"
How Mines Are SnaEged.
Several hundred yards apart, the
two vessels pursue the same course,
moving slowly along. When there is a
dragging Of the wire, the men know
they have snagEed a mine. Slowly the
fernal machine is drawn to the surface,
when one shot from the nearby de-
strOyer explOdes it and one more men
ace TO shipping is removed
Contact mines already have played
a big part in the European war. When
hosblities began. and perhaps even be-
fore that the Germans mined all Of
their harbOrs and strewed mines all
over the North Sea
Since then, two British cruisers. sew
eral merchant vessels and countless
North Sea trawlers have been sunk by
the silent, hidden messengers OF death
It seemed like poetic justice when a
German torpedo boat destroyer hit one
OF the German mines and was blown to
atoms In all. several hundred lives
have been lost through submarine
mines since the war began, and doubt
less there will be many more. because
it is impossible for the British mine
sweepers TO drag the whole North Sea
for mines, and the German mine plant
srs are still at work.
