U-BOAT is SUNK
BY FRENCH PILOT
Quick k-Witted Helmsman Saves
British Troopship and De-
stroys Submarine Raider.

PARIS. MARCH 1 (by mail) l).-The
novel destruction Of German subma-
rine through the quick wit Of an un-
named French pilot Is one Of the war
tales Of the sea which will live for
years to come. To this pilots credit
today Is the saving OF perhaps hundreds
Of lives. =
At the bottom Of the British channel
lies the battered shell Of a German
U-boat which. previous to its demise.
had been notorious for its deadly work
among craft Of all kinds that happened
to cross its path. To save the censor's
blue pencil. more about the work Of this
steel shark Of the sea and its habitual
rendezvous is better left unsaid, but the
topic Of interest is that II came to Its
end In q most unexpected manner.
A great transport vessel. loaded with
British soldiers was the intended victim
Of the submarine. Despite torpedo boats
conveying the transport, the U-boat
audaciously appeared close to the
French coast and shot fits torpedo. A
few minutes before. a French pilot had
boarded the ship to take her safely into
the shallow channels which led to the
harbor.
Inls pilot held the Wheei when the
submarine poked her periscope above
the choppy waves. He saw the tor
pedo plowing toward the ship. A
piece of clever maneuvering caused
the halt ton OF explosives to rush
past the transport, missing her by q
narrow margin. The khaki crowd
aboard watched the show with silent
interest. Their lives were in the
hands OF the Frenchman up on the
bridge Not q sound came from any
one. The only noise was that of the
big craft veering sideways to miss
the torpedo and the swish of the
latter as II passed.
The torpedo boats began to get
into action They could not fire for
fear OF hitting their convoy, but they
rushed in circles in an effort to train
their guns on the enemy. The latter,
however, was also constantly man
euvering. The submarine commander
was watching the destroyers and
paying no attention to the big un-
wieldly transport, which seemed to
be wallowing in the trough Of the
waves.
The French pilots part in the
The Washington times., 1917-03-27

drama, though, was not 30 unim-
portant as the submarine commander
thought. By pulling bell ropes and
pressing buttons the pilot soon had
his ship under control He veered
her about SO sharply that the sub
marine was quickly entrapped under
the transports stern.
Every mortal aboard heard the
grinding and ripping OF steel plates
as the pilots swiftly revolving pro-
pellet ate its way into the U-boat's
vitals. A rumbling sound and great
patches OF blue oil on the surface
were soon the only evidences OF the
submarine.
Then the pilot calmly signalled for
full speed ahead and took his ship
safely into harbor.

SEES HARD FIGHT ON
ALCOHOLM FRANCE
Jean Finot, Head Of Movement,
Predicts Dry Nation Prob
ably in Three Years.

PARIS, March Shy MaiD.-
France will not see prohibition Of al
cohol for years"
This brief explanation Of one Of the
most agitated internal subjects In
France just now was made today by
Jean Finot, noted French writer,
author, and president Of the French
society for action against alcohol.
NJ. Finot predicts long and bitter
fight before France is placed on the
footing Of prohibition. Widely cir
culated reports that French legisla-
tive bodies soon would enact q dry
France were denied by NJ. Finot.
Faces Bitter Opposition.
prohibition in France does not
mean, as the word means in America,
an absolutely dry France. II means
the elimination of brandy, whisky,
and other spirituous liquors which do
so much damage to the people Of any
country. The proverbial French light
wine always will remain.
''The fight against alcohol which
the prohibition forces of France are
making has the most bitter opposi-
tion. When 1t is considered that over
four million people have their inter-
ests connected with the production,
and sale of liquor, this
is not surprising.
Action I'm Three Years.
"But France will eliminate liquor
in time, probably in about three years,
just as many American States have
done. The movement already has
great and growing support, and is
backed morally by some OF Frances
greatest men,"
NJ. Finot's latest book, entitled.
THE Enemy of the Interior" quotes
various authorities to demonstrate
that French wounded during the pres
ent struggle. who were habitual users
of alcohol, have shown q remarkable
tendency to succumb to wounds which
would. not prove fatal to non-alco-
holics.
Prohibition will be one of the
greatest after the war questions in
France. 1t is expected to precipitate
more legislative and popular interest
than any subject has done for years.

SAY ENVOY RECALLED
MEXICAN AMBASSADOR TO U. S
ORDERED HOME, is REPORT.
Officials Fear Break in Relations With
Chief carranza's de Facto
Government.
hEW VosN ~osIn

Washington, Dec. 29.-General Car
rama, first chief OF the Mexican de
facto government, has ordered Eliseo
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate, to withdraw from the United
States without delay.
This move, which has the aspect of
a rupture of such diplomatic relations
as exist between the Mexican de Gacta
government and the United States. Gre
ated CONSERVATION among administra-
tion officials, who confessed they are
mystifed by the unheralded action.
Arredondo informed his associates of
the order recalling him from Washing
ton and said that he would leave cards
at the state department in accordance
with diplomatic usage and depart for
Mexico City.
Carranza's move increases the alarm
of advisers of the president. They fear
that Carranza, after all the surrender
ing to his demands by the president,
intends to rebuff the administration IN
some spectacular manner.
Washington, Dec. 30.-One more ap-
peal for modification of the protocol
providing for the withdrawal of Amer
ican troops from Mexico is made by
General CarranZa in Il message dtliy-
cred to Secretary Lane by Luis Cab
rera.
The Mexican first chief replied to
the insistent American demand that
the protocol signed by his spokesmen
at Atlantic City be ratified with an
S00-word document, in which he failed
to accede to the demand, but refrained
from writing anything that could be
construed as fiat Reputation.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid-
cred by the three American represent
atives-Secretary Lane, ]. X. Mott and
Judge George Gray. Early next week,
at n joint session of the Mexican
American commission, the Americans
will give the Mexicans their answer.

CREAMERY has BIG YEAR
Butter Factorys Receipts for 1916
Total over $4,000 Setting a
New Record.

Barron-The year 1916. due to the
great demand for creamery butter,
was the most prosperous year in the
history of the Barron creamery, claim
ed the largest butter manufacturing
plant in the world
II is said that the record of no other
creamery in this section of the United
States approaches that of the Barron
plant for the year just closing The
receipts of the concern were over
$405, 900, a figure far above that of
1915. The creamery produced over
1,400,0 pounds of butter, about 100,-
600 pounds more than last year
These figures give an idea of the ad-
vance which Barron count has made
In a dairy way. over $1,000,000 worth
Of creamery butter is made each year,
and the cheese factory produce is the
source of another big revenue. Sixty
three cents a pound is now being paid
for the butter fat used in cheese man
ufacture. Many new factories were
put into operation during the year,
and more will follow if the price OF
butter does not advance.
During December the creamery here
obtained 292.519 pounds of cream,
which resulted in 64,0979 pounds of
butter fat. The 500 patrons received
AZ cents per pound
