When Not Laying Mines He Pulls
Franks That Amuse American Sea-

Base of American Flotilla in British
Waters.-There is German submarine
commander who is known throughout
the American flOtilla as kelly" His
real name is something quite differ
ent, but the American sailors promptly
dubbed him "Kelly of the Emerald
ISLE" and the name will stick in the
songs and stories of the navy as long
as the great war is talked about.

and probably most of them have grown
In the telling.
"keIIy" Franks TantaIizing.
"Kelly" commands q mine-laying u
boat which pays frequent visits to the
district patrolled by the American de-
stroyers. When he has finished his
appointed task of distributing his
mines where they will do the most
harm he generally devotes q few min
utes to prank of some kind. Some
times he contents himself with leaving
a note flying from buoy scrubbed in
schoolbOy English and addressed to his
American enemy. On other occasions
he picks out a deserted bit Of coast
line at night and goes ashore with a
squad of his men for saunter on the
beach, leaving behind q placard or a
bit of German bunting as reminder
of his presence.
His most audacious exploit, how
ever-if the legends Of the forecastle
are to be believed-was a trip which
he made several months ago to Dublin,
where he stayed two days at leading
hotel, afterward joining his U-boat
somewhere up the west coast. He is
said to have Informed the British of
his exploit by leaving his receipted bill
attached to one of their buoyS.
Still another Of "Kelly's" more re-
cent stunts was to plant the German
flag on an eminence on the coast line.
1t was the first time that the British
and Americans knew just where he
and his men had set foot and they
shared the excitement of the village
folk, who awoke one morning to find
new kind Of flag flying from their ma
tive soil. At first they could not make
out just what 1t was.
Fishermen Burn German Flag.
But when they made sure that 1t was
the German colors they were furious,
for 1t so happened so the story goes,
that the fisherman along this partic-
ular strip Of coast had suffered much
from submarine raids. U-boats had
shelled their boats, Germans had sto-
len their fishAtheir only means of live
lihoOd-and left them empty handed
after weeks hard catch of mackerel.
These poor fisher folk were in no mood
for this latest display Of German hui
NOR, so they, according to report,
promptly burned the flag and set a
watch for "Kelly"
