LIFE ON A SUBMARINE

The change of being sent to a

marine dangers of life in sub
mersiblc.
Men on submarines face the
danger from tuberculOsius and
pneumonia. The chances for
from many cause is so great nav
|al officials of most governments
wearn men who are married or
have other dependents not to take
positions on submersible boats.
The interior of submarine
sweats like a pitcher of ice water.
After man is inside a submarine
an hour his clothes are wet all
the way through. The men wear
as many clothes as possible and
sometimes put on life preservers
for extra warmth.
During raids in the European
war, when submersibles were coln
|pelled to stay under water long
periods, sailors have been known
to lose much weight, 20 pounds
lin some cases. The weakened
condition of the men brings on
tuberculosis.
Physicians say men OIL sub
marines never really sleep, but
merely lapse from exhaustion in
to a state of semiconsciousness
for several hours. 1t is said bad
lair, and the strain make natural
sleep impo. 'sible.
Besides these things, men on
submarines are liable to what is
called the worst sickness in the
world-submarine sea-sickness.
The movement Of submersibles in
storms is frightful as the boats
are sealed up tight and the close
ness of the air is said 10 BE-;
|enOugh to cause death.
Few submarines have beds
The men simply lie down where
they can.
Their" cannot be any artificial
on submarines and the men live
mainly on biscuits and canned
jmeats.
! The sailors are compelled to
be economical with water when
down low in enemy territory. al
though there are thousands of
gallons of wafer all around them.
In enemy territory the boats can
not go to the surface to take
water.
There canot be any artificial
heat in submarine SO thA inter-
ior of the boat is always the tenn
perature Of the water Or air out
side. If the water. or air out
iside is around zero, the men on
the submarine live in zero at
mosphere.
The sailors are not allowed to
smoke.
Some experts say that IN war
where submarines are compelled
to go on raids into enemy ter
ritory and stay under water long
Iperiods, tuberculosis will cause
more deaths than the enemy.

A LOST CONTINENT

The ancients lost one, at least
they said they did, and all down
the centuries somebody has been
everlastingly trying to find out
whether they told the truth or
not.
Now modern scientists say that
they were probably perfectely
honest about it.
Their poets called the lost
wonderland "Atlantis," and they
placed it outside of the Pillars of
Hercules, which we call the Straits
of Gibraltar. They wrote mar
velously of its magnificent citie.:
and of its size-it was larger than
Asia and Africa-and of it's col
lapse, ~ a day an da night, by
earthquake and inundation.

COMMUNICATION

The following letter from Mr..
Geo. Worner explains the condi-
tions as they were in the Great
Bend country last week.
Steps should be taken at once
to try and prevent such a con-
dition ever arising again.
Great Bend, July 18th, '16
Mr.. E. S. Cameron,
Wahpeon, N. ID.
My Dear Friend Cameron
We here are in the most increu-
IDLY position that we ever was in.
l have lived here since 1877 and
Herman Bohn has lived here over
forty years and never saw such
a flood as we have at this time in
Brandenburg township. The
river has been over flowing it's
,anks since Friday and it has
drowned out thousands of acres
Of crop. l have 24O acres of
wheat and there is from one fsod
0 three feet of water over the en-
ire field and SO is all the ajoining
lelds and the water is running
over the N. P. tracks on the spur,
unning to the Keystone elevator.
Quite a number of families had
to moved out and as the house and
,arn is standing two feet and
ONE more in the water. The
water is not letting up yet, it has
raised last night about inches
on the fields. I do not believe
that there is farmer on the north
side of the river that will get his
seed to SOW his fields for the COM
ing year.
1t would pay you and some other
men from Wahpeton to come out
to see real flood. Now it
seems tome that there is some
thing wrong at the head of the
Wild Rice river and as under
stand that over 10 miles of drian-
age has been lead to the river
and that is more than this river
can stand. have been told that
the drainage comes out of two
counties west of us. We want this
investigated because we can not
lose our crops on that account.
if this should be the case, then
our damage commissioners should
first know if or not the river
could take the water a dnnot dam
age their own citizens. The rive.
is from i-8 to IA mile to two miles
wide and flowing at all places.
think there is only one bridge
in our township where we can
cross and we have been dumping
in all kinds of rubbish to keep the
banks from washing away. Great
Bend is now on an island. the
river flows north and southeast
and west. but we can come to
town from the south over the
bridge and some water. and from
the north. the same hut can drive
across with team. think you
can come with an auto as near as
three miles. This is an awful
loss to us and we should feel very
sorry if through some ones neg
lirenre we should suffer this great
loss. EXcause the numerous
mistakes.
Your friend.
