in it. He was asked how he succeed
ed in bringing the Yarrowdale through
the North Atlantic and the blockade
into the North Sea with a crew Of only
sixteen men and several hundred hos
tile persons on board. He replied:
For such an action you need
only to exercise GOODNESS and deter
mined, blunt carelessness. especially
if you have to deal with Englishmen.
In addition, you need to have a hand
full Of smart boys like mine who have
their hearts IN the right place and re-
volvers in their pockets. Then you
can fetch the devil from bis own
house.
Discipline Good.
Questioned as to how he held his
oddly mingled members Of the pris-
oners crews under discipline, Lieu
tenant Badewitz replied:
The discipline was first rate.

the sixteen men Of his own crew new

board, he said, knew that he would
have sank the vessel in event Of mu-
tiny or a revolt.
The captured captains were very
sensible and did much to hold their
men in check. The prisoners thought
that they could count upon touching
at a Norwegian port. Among them
were six members Of the British navy
of whom three belonged to an Bng--

One of the diseases of civilization is defective teeth, and the more study there is given to oral hygiene the clearer it becomes that inattention to health of the teeth accounts for not few other ills of the body.

 FROM LONG ISLAND, N. T..

The following letter was received by his mother from William Jewell Vick, who is at present stationed at Garden City, Long Island, N. l.. and who will leave soon for France:
 Camp Albert L. Mills,
 Garden City, L. l., N. '. Dear Mother:-
 1 received your letters from home today, and was glad indeed to get them. Well, we are at Garden City at last. And believe me 1t is some place; it is just twenty miles from New York (center), and we are al lowed to go there every night if we wish to do so, but we are so well drilled during the day that we feel like resting at night. My but there are some soldiers here; about 5S,0O0; We have airships over us and sub marines and battleships in the port three miles from here, so you see there is going to be business soon. And I hope it will not be long, so we can do what we are going to do and return, and it locke like it won't take us long.
 We had fine trip over here; it was rather long, but exceeding that it was swell. All along the road the whistles blew and we received our farewell goodbyes. We had Pullman cars and porter service and our meals were fine enough for any king. We were on the train for 47 hours, passed through the finest country. We'll that is enough for the trip.
 Now do not be uneasy if you fail to hear from me for three weeks at once, for when we leave for France it will take about seven days over and then seven days for the letter to come back and then a few days to reach you by land, so you see it will take at least that long. Now please don't worry about me for 1 will either meet my fate or else return all right 1 do not fear going at all for if it is my time to die l will die without the least doubt or worry on my part. l re- ceived the papers you sent to Fort Sheridan You asked about my things l left them in Chicago with Mrs. Bes- sic Murphy with the understanding that if they did not hear from me in a certain length of time to send them to you. 1 have already addressed, but let that be as it is, for I will be back to wear them soon.
 1 went out to the naval training station and tried to see Jeff and the other Prescott boys last Saturday, but could not on account of them being there such a short time. Tell Mir. Cantley hello! and that l am waiting to hear from all my saw mill friends. Hoping this finds everyone well and happy, and by all means don't work, for there is nothing to worry about. Tell Minnie that 1 will write her later. l would tonight but there is no use writing two when one will do

CAREY IS CHOSEN
Hutchinson Man Made State
Fuel Administrators.
He Will Direct Operation of
All Kansas Mines.

Emerson Carey, of Hutchinson,
former state senator from the Reno
county district, has been appointed
fuel administrator for Kansas. He
will have charge of the price fixing
program for this state and will direct
not only the operation of mines, but
also the routing of shipments of fuel
and distribution of coal to zones and
districts.
Work of the fuel administrator will
conform largely with the work of the
food administrator in this state. While
the food administrator will direct the
shipment of grain and foodstuffs, it
is probable the fuel director will be
called upon to direct routing of coal
shipments from the Kansas mines
Situations such as the strike and shut
down in the Usage and LeavenworCh
districts will be handled under Carey's
direction.
Carey is widely known in Kansas, is
one of the wealthy manufacturers and
business men of the short grass coun-
try and has been active in political
affairs in his district a number of
years. He served two four-year terms
in the state senate from 1909-17. He
is at the head of the Carey salt works
in Hutchinson, owns the street rail-
way system and a number of minor
business projects. He is also the
owner of the Hutchinson Gazette, a
morning paper operated for several
years as a Democratic organ.

BREAKS OUT anew.
sSIuSh Fund" Wrangle Re-
Sumed in Lower House.
Lansing Asserts No Reflection
Against Congressman.

Washington, Sept 29.-The Ger
man "slush" fund wrangle broke out
again on the floor of the house today
with the presentation of a letter by
Chairman Pou of the rules committee
from Secretary Lansing declaring the
state department had no evidence in
dicating members of congress had any
connection with Count Won Bern
storff's $4,000 fund.
Secretary Lansing wrote:
I'm this respect to your inquiry over
the telephone today. addressed to the
department, 1 beg to inform you that
the department has no evidence that
could in any way connect a member
of congress with the payment of
money by the German embassy in its
propaganda activities" Mr.. Lansing
then quoted from his statement of
September %, saying he did not see
how Bernstorffs request to spend
$4,000 reflects upon congress or any
member.
AS soon as the letter had been read
Representative Norton of North Da-
kota and others demanded recognition.
Speaker Clark scenting a repetition of
yesterdays row on the floor demand
ed:
What is the gentleman up to-"
Norton replied he wanted time to
speak and if he did not get it he would
object to consideration of bill then
before the house. The speaker refus-
ed to grant him time. Norton object
ed and the house passed on to another
question. The galleries were crowded
in expectancy of another clash on the
floor.
"Ringside seats. here, gentlemen"
exclaimed Representative Macarthur
of Oregon, as members filed in the
