No Comforts on Submarines.

wv ~OhhOt 30 va oub"oi hhOo'
. Five strange, black looking little
crafts, with fishy bodies are moored
to float at One Hundred and Thirty
fifth Street and the Hudson River.
BY their side is vessel that looks
like a cross between a battleship
and a piesty. These are submarines
and the pig-sty battle ship is the
submarine tender. And since one
OF these machines of war sent the
Lusitania to the bottom of the sea
they are attracting more attention
than the six odd battleships that
are lined up for review These five
little things are hideous, grewsome,
ugly as sin and as laaden as black
death They have just made a
record trip from Key West, coming
the 1920 miles in S days.
According to one of the officers
of these cigar shaped steel boxes,
they are just as unpleasant inside
as outside. Every minute the men
are in the submarine means the
risk of pneumonia and tuberculosis.
The entire inside of the boat
sweats like pitcher of ice water
on a hot day. said the officer.
Before we are on it three hours our
clothing is soaked and they stay
that way. We have no heat
which means the temperature is
that of the outside air. Sometimes
we nearly freeze.
The doctors say men ON the sub
marines never sleep; they merely
become unconscious at brief inter-
walls. The air, the odors from the
machinery, the constant vibration
and the intense strain under which
you labor make sleep an impossi-
bility.
In a storm, when we have to
seal up. the air gets orse than you
can imagine. There are Is men
and 2 officers in one of our boats
and at any moment any one of the
twenty is liable to cause the death
of all the rest. There is no room
for mistakes.
The space in which the men live
is SO feet long and 10 feet wide. ]

The Incoming Class.
Twas on winter morning bright
Thru school doors open wide
That throngs and throngs of fresh
men small
Poured in from every side.
The rooms were packed from door
to door,
Swarms gathered in the hall;
While upper classmen in the jam
Were scarcely seen at all.
The teachers nearly went insane
Amid the noise and din,
Said they Wherever shall we seat
The Freshmen flooding in?"
At this the principal came forth
To lend a helping hand.
He was as calm as a summer sea,
Amongst that bowling band.
Said he, Put some of these small
Within the chimney hole,
A number place upon the roof,
A several in the coal.
Put some upon the fire escape
Some on the chandelier,
A row upon each window sill
Will fix them, never fear.
Waste baskets each will take few
The gas jets will hold more,
And ! am sure the banister
Will seat full twenty-four.
Hang Freshmen on each cloak
room hook.
Just put them anywhere,
I've no more time to give to this"
He turned and left them there.
Now I should like to tell you next
Of how the school-board gave
A fine new building to this school
Relieved the pressure grave.
But Oh, alas! 'twould not be true.
1t did not happen so,

They're still upon the chandelier,
All seated in a row.
Now this is somewhat the condi-
ton in the Center school this year
School started with the largest at.
tendance ever known here.
The above was clipped from the
Center Herald. Elsewhere in the
same issue was the statement that
the probabilities were that a vote
would be taken this fall on q
proposition to build a new school
house. AS the present site is toe
small, a five acre site at the edge of
town is talked of.

In the National league flag race
was ended yesterday when the Phils
took a one-hit game from the Braves,
via Alex the Great. Cravath broke
up the party with homer in the first
when two men were holding down
the sacks. The score was 5 to 0.
This is the first time in thirty-tWo
years that the Phillies have gotten
away with anything in the pennant
line. Naturally, therefore, Pat Moran

is considerable hero in and about
Quaker town today.
Manager Carrigan and several
players of the Boston Red Sox,
billed as the opponents of the Pills
in the last series, watched the per-
Torrance in Boston. They found
food for thought and showed consid-
cradle interest when Cravath slapped
out the long one which scored three.
That queer bunch over on the West
Side copied again. Now they have
an undisputed hold-on fourth place
and will at least uphold the honor
of our fair city by staying in first di-
vision if they win couple of four to
come with the Cinci Reds.
They have gone a long way since
last week, when the heart-rending
fight was being waged against the
Giants to see which team would hold
down the bottom of the league. Five
straight from the Reds had some
thing to do with this. And with four
more to be played with the Herzogs
things look fair for the West Siders.
