seemed satisfied with what he had
done for his country. Then they took
him away somewhere to die.
But the next day we were forced
to perform several executions, that
were harder for some of the men, !
think, than shooting their old TRENCH
mate would have been.
xiii all the dogs in your trenches"
ran the new command. l think some
of the men who had made pets of
the stray dogs wept the night the
order came. One fellow l knew slept
with his dog that night. We couldn't
kill the dogs in cold blood; we were
acquainted with them. just as we were
with each other. They had been the
bright spot in our muddy, drab lives.
NANCY and dirty as the were, we
were little cleaner; when there
wasn't a smile left on our faces,
during the rainy or extra dangerous
days, there was always sparkle in
the eyes of the trench dogs and they
were always ready to play.
But we had to kill them. A Por-
tugese who loved little white Fox
Terrier, discovered the easiest way.
He threw a stone out of the trench,
the little fellow went after it and
just as he was picking it up in his
mouth, about a dozen of our rifles
blazed at him and over he went. We
made believe to ourselves that we had
been shooting at the Germans and
that, "Poopoo" had been killed by
accident. So our six dog friends went
into eternity that day, laying them
selves down among the bodies Of the
dead soldiers, and dying deaths that
we ourselves might meet at any
time.
"a dog can't expect better death
than his master" said the Portu-
guese, with tears yelling in his eyes.
No soldier in all this great was has
found harder thing to do than we
had that day the dogs were sentenced
to die.

SUBMARINE SINKS
WITH CREW OF 10

WASHINGTON, d. c., March &c.
For the first time in the history of
the United States navy a submarine
has probably been lost. F-4 lies un-
der the entrance of Honolulu harbor
according to the latest official re-
ports. Nineteen members of the
crew and the commander are i'm
prisoned in the steel hulk where they
will probably find their final tomb.
Hopes for Rescue
of Crew Abandoned.
The report of Submarine Flotilla
Commander Smith that oil was found
on the surface where the submarien
was submerged dashed the hopes
that the men may be saved alive,
The presence of the oil indicated that
the submarine either collapsed or the
crew discharged the oil owing to the
ballast tanks failing to work.
The submarine was equipped with
hooks on the outside which grapplers
might find; also with splendid sub
marine signals and an automatic
marker buoy.
Secretary Daniels cabled the com
mandant of the naval station to SPAR
no efforts. While speculating on tn
fate Of the crew, it is said it is i'm
possible to tell exactly what happened
until the wreck is raised to the sur
face.
There are several conflicting re
ports as to where the submarine
located. 1t has been submerged NOR
than 36 hours. Had not some grav
mishap occurred it is deemed certain
that the crew would have utilize'
the buoy and bells.
Previous Trouble
of Submarine.
1t will be recalled that 10 year
ago the submarine W was disabled
off the coast Of Newport and sanl
to the bottom. The power pump
refused to work but the crew han,
pumped to the surface.
