Mrs. b. E, Elliott, r.. f. D., Powell,
Wyo., says: al have always considered

doses relieves any kidney trouble | may
have"

weekly stage line from Saratoga to

Because of the high mortality among
German submarine commanders the
German admiralty has been compelled
to impress former captains Of German
merchantmen into the Z boat service
British shippers along the Brooklyn
water front who have been '-torpedoed
out" of vessels within the last few
weeks report that they are meeting
former acquaintance with increasing
frequency In command Of Submarines
One such meeting led 10 the first re-
corded case during the ruthless" block
ade Of genuine solicitnde ON the part Of
the e boat commander for the welfare
Of his victim. For obvious reasons the
name Of the ship and the British skip
per concerned cannot be mentioned, but
il can be said that both the ship and Its
master were well known In the Atlantic
trade and along the Brooklyn wnter
front
The U boat had a. usual. stgnaied
the British crew to abandon ship and
row to the side Of the submarine. The
captain obeyed instructions under cover
Of the German gun. When he Chamber

his papers up to the commanding OH

skipper said he was sorry TO be there
and inquired after the health Of the
German officers family. Both for q
moment forgot that they were enemies
I'm sorry. -, but I've got to sink
your ship" the German said finally.
But I'll tell you what I'll do. It's
against all regulations, but you go back
and get your personal belongings and
those of your men and stand by while
sink the ship. and I'll give you tow
part way TO shore"
Tae German was as good as his
word. He gave the Brst.sliefs time TO
get back on board their vessel and
sling their luggage into the boats. Then
they rowed to one side and waited A
