D|PHTHER|A CASES
ALL DISCOVERED
At CAMP LOGAN
SERCT. LEON CARPENTER ONE
OF TWO BOYS TAKEN ILL SENT
TO HOSPITAL.

Camp Logan, Houston, Tex, Aug
23.-(Special) Two cases of diph-
liberia were discovered in the camp
of the Illinois men today The men
affected are Orville Slagel, of Hills
boro, Company Z, Fifth infantry. and
Sergt Leon Carpenter, Of Ottawa,
Company c, Third infantry. Both
cases are light and 1t is thought that
none of the other men in either com
pany are affected
The men were removed to the
First Field hospital Maj Swift,
commander of the hospital, immedi-
ately took measures to trace any 9th
er cases in the camp. Both companies
were put under quarantine and every
man had a culture made of his throat
There Is almost no other sickness
in the camp. One light case Of NAL
aria was reported yesterday, but the
patient was treated and released al.
most at once.
Start Hard Work Soon.
According to an order issued today
by Capt l.. A. Tuggle, commander of
the camp, the hard work Is about
to start The order dealt with the
assignment of the several companies
! to regimental sections to clear the
land The main work will be cutting
down trees where they interfere with
the tents and stalking out tent sites.
Stump blasting will be left to the
men who are now engaged In that
work over the entire camp, II is
thought that the work will be com.
pleted in something over two weeks.
Several of the companies are plan
ming baseball teams and they antici'
plate regimental or at least company
competition Several hours of the
leisure time is being spent in prac
tice Track teams, wrestling, and box
ing matches are being planned and
before the end of the week there will
be some real contests.

When Cyrus waved to his wife : -
standing near him saw him.

When Cyrus waved to his wife -
standing near him saw him.
"Sayin' goodby to the ole woman,
mater" he said. Like enough this b
the last sight you'll get of 'er for .
matter Of three year or more"
Cyrus made no reply; he was calcu-
lating the chances of his getting ashore
in such q wind and sea in case he at
tempted to swim the distance. He must
make the attempt, If at all, under cover
of darkness, for If seen he would be re-
captured. But to swim in such sea at
all was equivalent to suicide, and in
the darkness he would not know In
what direction he was swimming.
Cyrus had son fourteen years old
that was as much of duck as his
father. Young Cy thought of the swim
ming problem and on the same lines
as the captive. AS soon as it was dark
he made bonfire on the high bank
overlooking the ocean. Tomkins saw
it and knew very well what 1t meant.
From that moment his resolution was
taken.
Watching his opportunity he worked
his way up on to the forecastle where
there was no one to see, and let himself
down on to the bowsprit chains. An
enormous wave swept him off, and he
was committed to the mercy Of the
Deep The stern Of the vessel was
blown toward the shore and he was
obliged to swim along the side. Fortu-
nately he was not thrown against 1t
and was soon driven by the wind and
waves beyond the stern. He felt that
he could live in the water, but doubted
that he could make landing in such
sea. However, he nerved himself by
the thought that he had bathed in wa
ter almost as turbulent and hoped for
the best. Whenever he rose on crest
he looked for the shore light, but the
wind was blowing straight on shore and
was taking him toward it. As to guild
ing his direction that was impossible.
1t was not very long before he heard
the dreaded breakers. Nearly all his
strength RENAME to him, for tb ere was
no use in trying to swim. When close
20 the shore he watched his opportunity.
aud when the wave on which he rode
was about to break, by strenuous eff
fort he threw himself backward, and,
instead of the roller coming down upon
him with its tons Of water, he was
whirled heels over head up on the beach
in the boiling foam.
AS soon as he recovered his breath,
guided by his boys bonfire, he made his
way home. Suddenly the door was
thrown open and, pale and dripping, he
stood before his wife and children.
II knew you'd do 1t, dad!" were the
first words from his son that greeted
bin.

FOR
LIBERTY
By ELINOR MARSH

Great Britain, having decided after
the surrender of CORVALLIS at York
town that it would not pay to prose-
cute the war further to subdue the
colonies, gave up trying to do so, but
having for couple Of hundred years
held supremacy on the ocean continued
to exercise a number Of tyrannical so
called privileges in reference to our
merchant marine. She claimed the right
TO search our ships for British desert
ing sailors and was not particular as
to their being British. Many an Amer
lean was taken off Yankee ship and
forced to serve in the English navy.
This was not the worst. The kings
ships would hover over an American
coast, send boats ashore with press
gang and carry off any man found de-
fenseless.
Cyrus Tomkins was farmer in those
days on the coast south of New York at
a point where Asbury Park is now 10.
Gated.
One day a ship was seen running in
very near the land. She was man-of-
war, that was evident from her ports,
but she carried no flag. Cyrus was
working in the field and too intent upon
what he was doing to notice boat put
out from the vessel and pull to the
shore. The first thing he knew he was
tackled from behind by several strong
men and, despite his efforts to free him
self, was hustled down to boat and
carried to the ship.
The coast was sparsely settled In
those days, and 1t is questionable If
any one saw the abduction. Tomkins'
wife was not at home, and his children
were at school some distance from the
water
The farmer knew that his capture
meant serving term of enlistment in
the British navy, separated from his
home and his family. AS soon as he
was taken aboard he was entered as
an able seaman put in sailor togs and
left to go where he pleased, for as for
going ashore he could not do that
without swimming all the way, dis
lance Of mile and half.
The wind was blowing fresh on shore,
and the commander of the ship desired
to sail away, but he had sent another
boat to a point further north and was
obliged to await it's return. He sailed
back and forth for awhile, but, the
boat not appearing, he dropped his an
Choir. The wind had freshened instead
of lulling, and it was believed that the
absent ones dare not put out from the
shore in the face of such rollers.
1t was sunset before Mrs. Tomkins'
family came home. Not finding her
husband waiting for his supper. she
went out to look for him. Seeing his
farming tools where he had been cap
tured, the marks Of struggle and the
ship anchored out in the ocean, she
took in the situation. Then she saw
some one on the ship waving. This
was not the first depreciation Of British
ships on the coast, and the poor woman
knew that her husband bad Gaen taken
from her US homo and his family.
