HOW AMERICAN GUN GREW OVERLOOKED FIRST CHANGE
Dirty Little Ship Was Planting Barrels of Fish" In Course
 Of United States Liner.
Photo by American Press Association.

Just as the American liner St Louis was entering the last days journey and beginning again her bursts Of speed through the zone oE Nantucket on the return voyage of an armed American ship to Europe one Of the stokers dropped out entirely. He tried to stand the pace and protested against giving up, but they pulled him away from the furnaces, and few hours later be died. And a few hours after that, at Easter Sunday noon, there were a few mumbled words over | black box and an American lag, and then a splash in the sea. .....
 "We have threaded the twisted paths of death, and here we are" said Cap tain Hartley in telling of the trip. Then be told of the disappointment of the naval gun crews in not having chance to try American guns on Ger man steel.
 Three hours in the submarine zone and no fritzies yet" said one blue Jacket disgustedly as the ship neared the Irish coast.
 The gunner missed a chance at the finest target of the eighteen day Yoy- age the following morning when a dirty little iron steamer, with rust all over her dlsreputable sides and tat tered and soiled Norwegian flag at her taffran, a picture of commercial inno- cence, sailed diagOnally across the | course of the St. Louis as the armed American liner moved up to the en- trance of the Mersey.
 Inside this innocent little smack and on her greasy decks were barrels or fish" that the captain said were to be taken to Cardiff. But the captain was planting hls fish" in the muddy wa ters ot the Mersey,. where no tawlers or mine sweepers or cargo ships could see them. Half an hour after the St, Louis had passed up the channel a trawler was blown up by one of 100 mines strewn in the four square miles by the rusty tramp, and half an hour after that a 3,OO0 ton cargo boat the Kelvinhead, struck another one of the Norwegian fish" and went down. When the St. Louis reached the bar of the Mersey she found that her pilot had failed to appear to take the ship into the river, and the liner had to steam up and down in this mined re- zion for seven hours while waiting for the tide to rise 80 that she could set over the bar. A few hours later Brit Lsh trawlers and mine sweepers picked up eighty-two mines in the WaterB where she had been taking her morn Ing cruise.

WENT TWO MILES ALONE
 WITH HIS LEG BROKEN
Ranchsr Injured by Fall Shows Game nsas Getting to Neighbor's Cabin.

Laramie, Wyo.-An Idea of the game ness of some of Wyoming's ranchers was gained recently with the arrival in Laramie of Bob Holcombe, rancher in the Sand creek country, who went eighteen hours with q broken leg and no medical aid
 He crawled one mile on his hands and knees with q broken leg dragging after him. He made another mile on improvised crutches made out of one inch plank and then put on his own splints with a broken up cracker box and five empty -four sacks.
 Holcombe was working a bunch of cattle about four miles from his ranch and two miles from the nearest house. The horse he was riding slipped and fell on Holcombe's right leg. Itsnapped between the knee and ankle.
 Knowing there was no help within two miles, the gameness of the man asserted Itself. Suffering excruCiating pain, be crawled on his hands and knees for a mile, where he had noticed a one inch plank. With the aid of knife he broke this plank lengthwlse and, putting one piece under each arm, used them as crutches and travelled mile to the cabin of a friend.
 Here he broke up a cracker box and with his knife whittled out some rough splints. With the aid of five flour sacks he bound on the splints. The friend then telephoned to a neighbor for car and brought the injured man to the city,

SYSTEM BAR TO
PATRIOTISM
College Professor Says Unrest
Of Labor Greatest Obstacle
to Unity Of Nation.

NEW YORK, Nov. c2.-"American
industrialism is guaranteeing to some
half of the 100000 of our indus
trial population a life of such limited
happiness, of such restrictions on per-
sonal development, and of such mis-
cry and desolation when sickness or
accident comes, that We would be
childish political scientist; not to see
that FROM silch an environment little
self-sacrificing love Of country, little
of ethics, little of gratitude, could
come"
This is the conclusion of DR.. Garlic
ton Fl. Parker, professor Of economics
at the University of Washington, in
an article in the current "Atlantic
Monthly telling why such an organi-
zation as the I. w. w. is unpatriotic.
"War, to the American labor world,
is an episode" says DR.. Parker, and
for them the making of a living,
which completely dominated their
thoughts before the war, runs on
through the war period itself. Fol-
lowing out this argument therefore,
patriotism rests upon the degree of
satisfaction and content with which
labor views its lot. The labor mind
In America is in profound unrest and
it is the imperative duty of those
Americans on whom falls the duty of
thinking and planning to accept such
facts as all-determinig, and not to
misuse the moment by useless, if ad-
mirab1e, moral indignation. It is
needless to point out with what
handicap the president I'D those de-
voted citizens must work in thei. ef-
fort to create at this eleventh. hour in
our social evolution that patriotism
and unity so impertively needed by
the nation.''
And then DR.. Parker sets forth the
amazing cold facts with regard to
economic conditions in Anne. lea.
They should be considered with ref
erence to the further fact that nearly
half of the agricultural land in this
country remains unculivated and that
opportunity on the land is denied to
millions Of the very men who could
make best use of it, because our taxa
ton system permits spectators and
onopolists to hold land out of use
and reap a rich harvest in unearned
increment
Gives Illustrations.
Says DR.. Parker: I'm 1910, of the
30,091, 1854 male persons in the United
States who were listed as bread win
ners, approximate 100000 were
