MAX HORTON, the man who tor
lVt pedoed the German battle cruis-
er MOltke, was one Of the most
modest men l have ever met. palled
around for couple OF nights with
Horton and another Sea Slug who had
been only short t.r:c out of the
Hasda hospital, where he hnd recov-
cred from wounds lie received at CALI
poll. Horton, besides being the hero
of the Moltl,e incident when I'm COM
mand of IN Il bOut, had been the first
man through the Dardanclles In his
dlmsy NJ. L., as the British call the
submarine chasers, lie being in that
service before taking over subma-
rfne.
NJ. l.. stand for motor launch The
little craft are called n great many
other things at times, both by the men
in them when they don't run just
right and by submarine commanders,
German and British.
We were all at Portsmouth, which
Is one of the principal Nj. L. bases
Horton, his friend and myself had been
out ON duty tour and on the way
back stopped at The Knut for couple
Of drinks, then at Monks for oysters
and finally landed at Tots for dinner
which is about the program followed
by the Sea Slugs when they can get
ashore.
"They had the NJ. LIS sweeping
mines down at Gallipoll," said Horton
In very matter Of fact way. Lots
of people think all We Slugs have to
do Is to cruise around and keep from
drowning. but I want to tell you that
chasing submarines Is the easiest and
safest thing expected of us.
'Tugboats and trawlers and mine
sweepers weren't much good in the
Dardanelles, because they furnished
too big target. Besides, everything
that could float was getting SHOT to
pieces, and before they dared send our
ships IN 1t was absolutely necessary
to sweep the mine fields.
1--WE used to hook thousand foot ca
bles between two Nj. LIS and cruise
down through the fields as fast as we
could go. The cables were supposed
to foul the mines, tip them over and
explode them. They did 1t. Also the
NJ. LIS themselves tipped over sew
eral mines and exploded them, and
after that there wasn't anything to
hook that end Of the cable to.

A Matter Of Luck.
As / said before, the catching of n
submarine and It's destruction Ii great
ly matter Of luck. Sometimes the
NJ. LIS cruise around for days without
seeing one, and then perhaps a U boat
will pop to the surface within n couple
of hundred yards. The most impor-
tant adjunct to luck Is an oil seeing
eye. Ono never knows where the perl
scope is going to stick out above the
surface, and you must be ready at any
second to make 1t out Mt any point of
the compass.
Just how many submarines were
"got" while 1 was in England 1 am
not at liberty to say, but Gun go on
record as stating that they are not
easy to get, and the captlves are few
er than generally supposed. A vast
number Of units are necessary to COM
bat them with any degree of success.
Besides being invisible almost ut will,
the submarines are manned by men Of
nerve.
The idea prevalent among some peo-
pie that submarine crews are more or
less only sneuks, who strike in the
dark or when there is no danger for
themselves, should be dispelled. The
submarines are operated by men who
fear death not at all and who some
times take staggering chances. II the
British develop one trick that bags q
single submarine they consider IL a
success. News of English ruses
spreads rapidly IN the under water COS
sip.
U boats have run In a few scant
miles from shore and sunk all sorts of
craft, and they have even tackled de.
stroyers. The British had some very
sad experiences I'm sending destroyers
on rescue work, after which thoy used
the NJ. LIS for this purpose. These
make smaller torpedo targets. The
Germans are supposed not to risk q
boats unduly; but, believe me, they do.
talked with the chief engineer and
one of the crew of British sugar ship
from the West Indies who had been
rescued after being torpedoed.
1--WE were just making Havre," said
the engineer, and we were mighty
glad to get IN. The day was remnrka-
bly, clear, and the water was oily
smooth. We were 30 close to land we
didn't think there was chance OF
anything attacking us when just at 1
O'Clock in the afternoon a submarine
appeared off our port bow and signaled
US to stop.
1--WE were armed with At gun on
our stern and had navy gunners on
board, so instead OF obeying we turned
sharply to starboard to present as
small target as possible for torpedo
and opened fire.
1.-THE first two shots fell short, and
the third went over the u boat. The
way some people talk you would have
expected the submarine to run away
She didn't do anything Of the kind
She opened up oil us with q gun that
must have been ut least three inch
piece, and the second shot hit one of
our gun mounts.

upon the charcoal fire. Some of the

GARDINER PLEADS
WITH DR|GHTWOOD
CITIZENS FOR LOAN

Members OF the Brightwood citi-
zens' Association are cooperating
today in a drive for the Liberty loan.
Commissioner Gardiner, in an ad-
dress last night at the Brightwood
School, urged that every citizen in
the District subscribe as far as his
means win permit to washingtop's al
lotment.
"The question is . serious one," said
Commissioner Gardiner. "Since leav-
ing college have known nothing but
law practice. have given but little
time to civic AFFAIRS. / did not realize
the great and responsible duties that
must be considered and disposed Of
by the Board of District Commission
ers until became a member of that
body.
"I did not realize the important
part that your associations have to
do. with the shaping Of the destinies
of municipal government.
at is through your bodies that we
learn the wants and needs of the citi-
zens. This movement of District of
Columbia citizenship to oversubscribe
$50, ,000, 900 Of the second Liberty loan
is a test of your patriotism which
feel sure you will meet promptly.
The test is upon you, and you must
meet It."
Commissioner Gardiner spoke of the
generous subscription of employees of
the Government to the first Liberty
