first chance today to contribute to the
needs of Friendship House, the settle
ment at 324 Virginia avenue south
east. which this week is conducting a
campaign to raise $4,000 to carry on the
work during the ensuing year.
Stands were established at six stores.
where those interested could either
join the Friendship House Association,
of which Henry P. Blair is president, or
make individual contributions to the
workers in charge.
The stands are located in the follow
ing stores: Woodward & Lothrop's,
the Palais Royal, Kann's, Lansburgh's,
Goldenbergs and in ODonnell's drug
store at 9th and F streets. The stands
will be open each day this week from
10 O'Clock each morning to ) o'clock in
the afternoon.
Signs displaying pictures of various
activities at Friendship House at
tracted attention at the stands this
morning. Women were especially in
terested in the work of the day nur-
sery and baby dispensary OF the set
tlement.
How Day Nursery Work Began.
How did you happen to begin the
day nursery work." one woman asked
this morning, as she dropped a gener-
Gus contribution in the basket
How it begun" was told her, as fol-
lows:
I'm the early days of Friendship
House there happened to be a mother
In the nefghborhood who had been i'll
for weeks. The neighborly spirit that
goes out from Friendship House had
been extended to her, and she had been
told to call on the residents there If
there was anything that they could do
for her. So, early one morning the
thirteen-year-old daughter came bring
ing her year-old baby sister, asking
them to look after her for a little
while,' as her mother couldn't stand the
baby's crying. The little while proved
to be five months, for two days after
the mothers recovery the father de-
veloped typhoid fever. from which,
after a months illness, he died, and
following that two of the other chill
dren developed typhoid.
THAT was the beginning of the
Friendship House nursery the ex-
PLANTATION continues. There are no
ironbound opening and closing hours,
which may bar out the very children
who most need care. If a mother has
to go to work very early, she may
send her child to the nursery before
breakfast, and they may also have their
evening meal there if the needs of the
case demand il.

of Rescue Work of U. S. Destroy
ers After German Raid.

According to statements made by
Lieut.. Lee C. Carey of the destroyer
Benham, in a personal letter to his
father in Baltimore. all the United
States naval vessels at Newport that
rescued the passengers and crews OF
the merchantmen sunk by the German
submarine U-53 went to sea in re-
sponse to S. o. S. calls under an order
to prepare for action. Render assist
ance to all ships attacked by German
submarines" Lieut.. Carey said that
the Benham carried war heads on her
torpedoes. ammunition DIT all guns, and
was prepared for instant action. The
Renham participated in the rescue of
persons from the Holland-Ame erican
liner Bloomersdyjk, and came within
few yards of ramming the German
submarine, when the latter was operat-
ing against the British liner Stephano.
Sinking of the Stephano.
Regarding the latter incident, Lieut.
Carey said:
TN the distance we could see a great
liner. and this the submarine saw, too,
for she Immediately shaped her course
toward the oncoming ship We fol-
lowed along in the wake Of the U-53
to watch her in her work. She now
sent a signal to the ship (Stephano).
telling her to put crew and passen-
gers in boats Immediately. AS she did
this the Balch took all her people on
board and then drew away.
Suddenly the submarine put all
lights out and disappeared. and we
went ahead at twenty-five knots and
approached the Stephano. but sudden
ly, directly ahead, the submarine
turned on her lights and we just
missed ramming her by a few yards.
THE submarine now went alongside
the ship and took about an hour TAX
Ing what they wanted, while we. only
a few yards away, watched her. She
then drew away a couple of hundred
yards and began firing her guns at the
ship Round after round she fred. We
counted twenty seven, but they did no
material damage other than opening g
up a few holes, etc, and gave US some
beautiful fireworks to gaze at
Finally, she seemed rather ashamed
of her poor work, for now she ap-
preached about 100 yards and let go a
torpedo. which went off with tre-
m nendous crash and 1t seemed to break
the ship completely In two, for she
caved in amidships and settled rapidly.
