A Palindrome.

Asan example of a palindrome,
that is a sentence which reads
the same backward as forward,
a Minneapolis man sends the
following speech, which might
conceivably have been spoken by
Napoleon: able was j ere |

example of the palindrome, for
not only does the sentence read
backward the same Us forward,
but the seperatef words read
backwards as WI AsV forward.

survivors of the steamer Dunsley, tor

before the White Star liner Arabic

craft hid behind the Dunsley's SUNK

close enough to make an attack pos

around the Dunsley's stern and
launched the fatal torpedo. Survivors
say the German boat, which came up
alongside the Dunsley, bore no num-

the fate of the Dunsley has come from

had been torpedoed, but it had not
