60 far as the navy is concerned, the
destroyers are bearing the brunt
Of this war.
Their speed, their shallow draft, their
ability to approach like thief In the
night, smash their enemy and get away
again make them capable of being
used where heavier, more powerful
vessel would be valueless.
Besides, the loss of destroyer Is as
nothing compared to the loss of bat
tieship or a cruiser.
The best opportunity had to observe
the destroyers was at Dover. / ate

"Yes, and overhauling and searching

you'd call a safety first occupation"
said another officer.
"Td rather tackle a Hun any day

traP ships in Dover since the war be-
gan, and yet we frequently find Ger

rfnes," said some one, because every
neutral ship that comes in and even
all approaching the harbor are careful

The official communication on the
result of the battle shows that the
Generalization of the Austrian troops
is in part due to the extraordinary
aerial and artillery work of the Ital-
ians.
The total losses of the Austrians
from all causes are estimated at
nearly 100000, the most important
within the Carso region, but have not
been officially announced.

so high they were little more than
specks. Out of the hangers on the
cliffs our own planes began to be run.
The anti-aircraft guns-Archies they
call them In England--be began to bark.
But bark was all they did, for we
could see the shrapnel burst way short
of the enemy fiiers.
The British were quick In getting up,
but the planes We're so high that they
had passed over us before our boys
were close enough to do them any
damage. We had mostly heavy hydro
planes at that time, not speedy enough
to keep up with the swift German war
machines.
Presently there was another cry.
Two more machines had been spotted.
They were flying low.

some one.
"No, they're Boches, all right" re-
ports an officer with glasses.
They must be travelling about 100
miles an hour. One swerves out over
the harbor. Something shoots out from
beneath it. There is the roar of an
explosion. A bomb has burst forty
yards or so from destroyer lying at
anchor.
Anti-aircraft guns begin sprinkling
shrapnel around the plane which Is
out over the harbor. 1t Is almost close
enough now for machine guns. Sew

the destroyers. 1t swoops down.

shoots gracefully upward, just clearing
the wireless mast and spraying lead all

and on the left bank having driven
their advance posts to the outskirts of
Bethincourt and along the banks of
the FORCES rivulet.
The Germans in counter attacks
twice have endeavored to retrieve lost
ground on the heights of the Mouse
but each time met with repulse and
heavy losses.
Aside from artillery duels, which
have been especially severe east of
Ypres and in the neighborhood of
Lombaertzyde, there has been little
activity on that part of the line in
France and Belgium held by the Brit
ish.
Field Marshal Haig's men, however,
have carried several small trench
raiding enterprises with success and
repulsed German counter attacks.
Evidently the German advance to-
ward Riga, Russia's big port and ma
val baseNon the Baltic, has ceased, for
neither the German nor the Russian
official communication mentions the
operations in this region. To the
south, however, the Russians and the
Russo Rumanian armies, respectively,
around Vladimir Volynski, and in the
Rumanian ,theater are keeping up
their strong resistance against the
Germans and the Austrians. Near
Vladimir Volynski German attacks
have been repulsed while on the Ru-
manian front attempts by the Teu-
tonic allies to advance have again
been frustrated.
An interesting report of the German
chancellor's recent visit to grand head
quarters, where he received permis-
sion to form a subcommittee Of the
rcichstag main committee to confer
with the government on peace and
foreign affairs, is that the chancellor
also was given the power to trans
form Alsace-Lorraine into an indie
pendent federal state.

Over a Mine Field.

It wasn't long after this experience
of the destroyer with the mine that l
went on a run In an NJ. L. (motor
launch for submarine chasing) from
Dover. The subaltern in command of
the boat was as nervy as the best of
them, but he hadn't had much nautical
experience. What he knew about navi-
cation and the kings regulations could
have been engraved on the face of
dime. AS we were running back into
the harbor they began signaling US
from shore. The euDaltern locked at
the signals through his glasses, looked
in the Look, grunted and went bliss
fully ahead / rather felt at the time
that he didn't know what the signals
meant just from the sort of self con-
scious way in which he put his glasses
down. OF course l did not know the
British code.
Those fellows hate to let on they are
stumped. They'll race neck and neck
with death rather than let it be known
they lack any of the qualifications.
A moment later the signal flags were
hauled down and run up again. We
held our course, and the flags were
lowered and raised several times, as If
trying to attract our attention to them
on shore.
Presently man began wigwagging
frantically, while the flag signals were

Leaped Into Burning Oil.
One of the matloes (sailors) who had
been on deck saw the officer just as the
flames were reaching him. The very
sea around the destroyer seemed on
fire. 1t meant almost certain death to
leap In 1t, but the matloe leaped.
He swan under water. as far as he
could When he came up the flames
licked around him. He filled his lungs
with sitting, burning hot air and dove
again. Bit by bit he reached the off,
Ger, who had apparently lost all con-
seriousness, although he still was strug-
Cling feebly just enough to keep him
ah0at, but rapidly weakening.
When once he had his arm under the
officers shoulder the rescuer could no
longer dive and he had to swim slow
ly, supporting his heavy burden with
streaks of flame shooting all round him
and tapping him. 1t would have been
easy for him to drop his burden and
make the best Of his own way to safe
ty, but he would not do 1t.
Although the officer could not re-
member 1t, he must have come to once,
for he ordered the sailor to leave him
ana ehif& Co, biynoalf hist %hr t,rovo
fellow would not do it.
Seeing that 1t would be easier to
swim away from the destroyer beyond
the fire zone, he did so instead of try
ing to get back to the vessel.
Other craft had been alarmed by the
sound of the explosion and had seen
the smoke and flames and were stand
ing up full speed. They picked the two
men up In the nick Of time, for the
matloe lost consciousness before they
had hauled him into the small boat
which put off from one of the patrols.
That's the type Of men they get In
the navy. This matloe was just an orr
binary enlisted man. He would have
been expected to do his duty even in
the face of almost certain death, but
he was ready and did more than his
duty in saving his superior.
And yet party of British sailors
who landed after the Jutland battle
were mobbed and several persons were
hurt because the people thought the
British had lost from the first reports
received.
