.BERESFORD ADMITS
 BIG U-BOA1 TOLL
StartIss House of Lords by
 Frank Criticisms. *

A gloomy account of the consequences to Great Britain of unrestricted U-boat warfare was given to the house of lords by Lord Beresford, former first lord of the admiralty.
 He virtually admitted that the U- boats thus far have proved themselves capable of destroying T1S,611 tons of shipping in Il month of thirty-one days. This Is 2s1 3S9 tons less than the mil lion a month" which Germany believes will mean forcing England into plea for peace in six months.
 With surprising frankness Lord Der esford told the upper house that with longer days and calmer weather the losses must necessarily increase. "rhe public ought to have the facts brought home to it." he said.
 He stated that thus far in March the German submarines have destroyed n total of more than 420,O00 tons, the number of vessels sunk being 255.
 He criticised what he called untusti- fable control by the foreign office over the affairs of the navy, control which he said was detrimental to tho quality and efficiency of Britain's sea fighting forces. but to the interests of the coun- try as n whole.

 1s,ooo More Men For Navy.
 The need of men and more men to man the navy, which forms the na. tion's. first line of defense, was em. phasized when President Wilson by executive orders increased It's author ized enlisted strength to S7,000 men. The executive order was made public by Secretary of the Navy Daniels, with a plea for patriotic aid in increasing navy enlistments.
 The order. issued under authority Of the naval appropriation act of the present year. would add 19,000 to the enlisted personnel. Every one of them will be needed to man the new ships being rushed to completion, the re serve fleet ordered into commission and the mosquito fleet of submarine chasers" which has been ordered con. structed in record time.

 Under the legal authorization the ma. val strength was limited to 6S,000 men. with an allowance of 6000 men fin training. The recent recruiting cam. paign, while it has materially Increased enlistments has brought the strength up to only about 62,000 men.

BAD AUTO
COLLISION

At Reedsburg Louis Fishers Ford
car was badly smashed when Mr..

of that city, near the old Cherry
farm. Mr.. Grubb, who is manager Of
the Stanchion company at Baraboo,
was alone in his car and was return
ing home to Baraboo, while Mr.. Fish
er was going toward his home.
Mr.. Fisher says he was out of the
road to the edge of the ditch and had
stopped his car, but Mr.. Grubb thought
he had passed, as the lights reflected
on his glasses, and he turned back
across the road, and the front wheels
smashed into each other, making a
bad wreck of both cars. Mr.. Grubb
was thrown through the glass of the
windshield and cut his hand on the
broken glass, but thinks himself for
tunate that it is no worse, and takes
the blame for the accident to himself.

DARING RESCUE
NEAR k|LBOURN
Vera and Glen Bohles, Children of
Mr. and Mrs. c. Bohles, Have
Narrow Escape from Drowning

Mrs. Charles Bohles of Rvudsburg
succeeded in rescuing her two chill
dren from drowning in wonderful
manner, says the Free Press.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bohles and two chill
dren, Vera, aged IL years, and Glen,
aged 6, and Mr. and Mrs. P. j. Bailey
drove over near Kilbourn. They
camped near the small bridge on the
flat this side of Kilbourn while the
men went farther on fishing. The
children teased so hard to go in wad-
ing on the fat stones that their moth
er finally consented and they all re-
moved their shoes and stockings and
waded or sat on the bank with their
feet in the water. Finally Mrs. Bohles
had picked her way up to the bridge
when Mrs. Bailey called to her that
Glen had gone down in big hole and
Vera in trying to reach him was in
the hole too. Mrs. Bodies is a woman
who weighs 169 pounds and cannGs
swim, but she went in after the chill
dren, and by treading the water with
her feet reached the boy as he came
up the second time and with him
hanging into her arm got back to the
rock, where Mrs. Bailey took him from
the water. She clung to the rock
for a moment to get her breath as
she went under the water once her
self during the rescue of the boy,
when Mrs. Bailey, who was directing
the rescue from the edge of the deep
water, called that Vera was coming
for the third time and Mrs. Bohles
again heroically returned to the wa
ter, and although she had farther r
go for the girl, succeeded in getting
her out also.
Mrs. Bohles is very levelheaded
woman. but doesn't know how she
could have done so well, and gives
much crecir to Mrs. Bailey, who kept
telling her just what to do. After 1t
was all over she. collapsed from ex-
haustion and nervousness, but recov-
cred in short time. Vera was the
nearest gone, but after lying on the
bank few seconds her breath re-
turned and they are now none Of
them the worse for their remarkable
experience.

it was dangerous place. as a Lady
