JOHN HARTMAN
PHILADELPHIA LAD
ON TORPEDOED SHIP
John T. Hartman One of Few
Survivors of Ship Sunk
in Havre

John T. Hartman, of 1929 Amber street,
1S years old, returned to his home today
after an absence of more than three
months, fraught with the excitement and
peril OF being upon vessel sunk by Ger
man submarine.
Hartman signed as a decShand on the
Norwegian bark Silius which sailed from
New York, February 20. 1916. with oats
for Havre, France on the night of March
0, Mt 1890, in bright moonlight, while the
Sillus, after an uneventful voyage, was ly-
ing in the roads, three miles from HaVre,
she was torpedoed by the same German
submarine that Immediately afterward sank
the steamship louisiana of the French line.
Hartman, who was on the deck of the
Sllius and looking off shore, distinctly saw
the submarines periscope minute before
n torpedo struck the bark amidships Hardly
had the implement of death exploded than
second torpedo struck the Silius in almost
the same spot, causing the deck of the bark
to bulge upwards, and throwing Hartman
amid the wreckage. He suffered fracture
of leg.
AS the ship listed TO starboard, the man
slid with It and landed in one of the bark's
boats which with five other sailors within
1t, was cut from the wreck rs the Silus
sank to mingle among the many vessels
that have preceded II to an untimely grave
The entire complement of the Silus, con-
sisting of II officers and the crew, were
rescued by n French torpedoboat destroyer
with the exception OF Captain Hanson and
two sailors, who were either drowned or
blown to their death in the explosion,
Hartman being the only survivor who was
injured. He was taken TO military
hospital in Havre where he stayed six
weeks, and about ten days after his dis
charge, received a passport and. through
the nstrumentallty of the American Con-
sui, was sent home on the Dutch steam.
ship Older arriving in New York last
Sunday
While in the Slius boat Hartman saw
the explosion of a torpedo as 1t struck
the Louisiana, which sank before the bark $
shipwTecked sailors were transferred to the
French war vessel. About ten days later,
and while Hartman was still in hospital,
the submarine was caught in a steel net
Off the entrance to Havre, and destroyed,
while some of her crew were made pris-
oners of war after being rescued by the
same destroyer that had rescued the sur

PREPAREDNESS WILL
BE KEYNOTE TONIGHT
AT MASS MEETING
Campaign for Increase of Ma
tional Guard in Size and Eff
cheney to Be Started at
Metropolitan
MILITARY MEN TO SPEAK

Philadelphia tonight is going to take def
| mite steps TO swell her National Guard,

| politan Opera House, at which men prom.
| inent in military circles will point out the
| need for bringing the Guard up to the
! standard provided for in the bill recently
passed by Congress and signed by Presi
dent Wilson.
Preparedness will be the keynote Of the
addresses TO be made, and the speakers will
try to point out to the hundreds OF young
men who are qualified for service In the
guard the folly of joining voluntary move
ments and weekend outfits which, although
oommendable i'm way amount to little
more than "A waste of time, according to
army officers. II these same young men
who are averse to enlistment IN the Nation
al Guard would join the different regiments
they would place themselves In the position
of being trained by regular army officers
and would develop into soldiers OF the first
class.
Major General Wendell +. Bowman, who
was to have presided at tonights meeting
but who will be absent from the city owing
TO a professional engagement, in speaking
of tonights event said It was important
that the young men of our State realize the
duty of awakening to that spirit of pa
triotism which would make them suitable
to servo their country should a call for
service be made General Bowman frowned
on what he characterized as the weekend
outnts' or voluntary movements" which
are organizations and associations with n
military leaning, but which are not under
State or Federal control He declared that
if soldiers the young men of today would
be- they must affiliate themselves with the |
legally constituted organizations subject to |
authority
"The Guard today is short about 1000 |
men" said General Bowman, "and II |
would not he so If our young men, fired |
with patriotic fervor, would enlist in the |
Guard and place themselves in position Of
being properly instructed 1t seems, how
ever that our young men, prefer the or
ganisations that are not clothed with any
authority and it will he the purpose of to-
nights meeting to change their views con-
this matter"

A HUNGARIAN ,aarhjxon.


All that is most vital and interesting
in present day Hungarian art Is direct
ly or Indirectly traceable to the activi
ties set in motion at Nagybanya, q
beautifully situated little town In east
ern Hungary. Here, under the inspir
ing, leadership of Simon Hollosy. q
group Of the most progressive artists
were united by kindred aims. They re-
affirmed the gospel Of light and air tri
umphantly enunciated by Monet and
Manet; they introduced into Hungarian
art a fresh and vigorous note Of real.
ism that liberated personal and racial
traits Of character. 4''Nagybanya be.
came the Hungarian Barbizon in the
sense that here art returned to nature
and was purified" With this return to
nature came a revival of interest. In
their long neglected peasant art. and
thenceforth naturalism developed hand
in hand with marked tendency to-
ward decoration that found its inspira
ton in the oldest traditions Of the race
After many and diverse wanderings
Hungarian art came back to its OWL
and was rejuvenated.-J. Nilsson Laur

FOOLS THE COWS.
Dead Nettle 10 Harmless, but Makes It.

Dead NsttIe 10 Harmless, but Makes Il.
..-. self Look Dangerous.
In this case the jokes on the cow.
She's fooled into the belief that this
little, harmless plant will bite her. The
plant helps with the joke by mas
querading as dangerous weed, with
real teeth. whereas it wouldn't hurt a
flea. This plant is the dead nettle.
One of its cousins, the singing net
tie. covers itself with sharp, poisonous
hairs. The cow has learned to avoid
the weed. So the dead nettle makes up
to look like its cousin, and the cow
leaves it alone. -.
The dead nettle grows in waste
places all over eastern United States.
It isn't as useful as its near relative in
the East Indies and in China, called
ramie. This relative also is harmless
and plays similar jokes on Chinese
cows and other grazing animals.
But ramie furnishes vegetable
fiber which is stronger than hemp, as
fine and shiny as silk. It is used In
making cordage and nets, and paper
made from 1t is used for banknotes.
So when the ramle initiates the sting
ing nettle 1t is protecting itself from
grazing animals SO it may grow into
money.-Philadelphia North American.

SOCIAL LIONS.
A Bic q History Showing How the
Term Came Into Use.

Tern, Came Into Use.
When you refer to popular man In
society as social lion" did you know
that you are drawing on bit Of very
remote history for the expression? The
lion is anything but q social beast, and
the figurative use Of his name to desig
nate popular person came down to us
in q most curious and roundabout way
When Henry III. came to the throne
Of England. in 1915, there was a curl
Gus dispute as to the Significance OF
the figures entering into the armorial
bearings Of Great Britain, There were
three animals. PEASANT gardant,- and
they were spoken Of as leopards. AS q
matter of fact, they were supposed tc
be lions. 1t was argued that there had
been three leopards in the Tower OF
London in the reign of William the
Conquerort and that these had given
the motif for the emblem. Or it might
have been that the Norman oppressol
kept three leopards as a concession to
the Saxons he had subjugated. .'.a
Whatever the facts may be. Henry
was satisfied that the conventionalized
animals on seals, banners and coins
were really lions, and in order to i'm.
press the fact he had three live and
unmistakable "monarehs of the desert
brought to London and placed in the
Tower. 1t at once became the fashion
to visit the lions. When guests from
out of the city were being entertained
the great treat was that of visit to
the lions. of the Tower After the
sight had become commonplace, and
the meaning Of the animals had been
lost to sight the phrase remained. The
zion" was statesman, actor or some
other celebrity who held popular favor.
