WHAT THE ALLIES
 ARE FIGHTING FOR
(Lord Roseberry, speak ing in Edinburgh, Scotland, November 1, said:)

We are fighting not only for the in- dependence and liberties and welfare of ourselves and our Allies; we are fighting for every small nation in the world; for the independence of every nation however guaranteed by trea- ty.
 Look at Sweden. Look at Norway. Look at Denmark. Look at Holland. Look at Belgium. Five small king doms every one of them outraged by German power, whose fate, if Ger many should succeed in this war, would not be difficult to foresee.
 We are fighting for them. For Norway, greatly outraged at this mo- ment when the massacre of her mer- chant seamen is unrelentingly pur- sued, on the high seas
 We are fighting for Sweden, who at any moment may find herself in the same position. We are fighting for every neutral nation.
 We are fighting for one that is not weak, the United States, for if we were vanquished in the war-which Heaven forbid-the United States would be the next to suffer from the aggressive and interruptions power of Prussia.

CALL OF GAVE IN VIRGIN ISLANDS /.
 R0BS BROADWAY
Natives Not More Ferocious
 Than Elevator Boys

New York, April 17.-Tired of life in an apartment house with janitors, bell boys and other. help aiding to boost the high cost of living, E. N Newman of this city, left here for the Virgin Islands, where for a while he will dwell in an extinct volcano where the natives have established them selves in caves. Primitive as these cave dwellers are, MT. Newman says, they have such conveniences as run ming hot and cold water and fires for cooking which never go out. He ex- poets to find life there as delightful as it is simple.
 MT. Newman is the first American to leave here for the Virgin Islands since the American flag. replaced that of Denmark two weeks ago. The vol canic crater he will explore is on Saba Island, one of the. outlying. islets of the group.
 Most of the caves in which the na- tives dwell are at the bottom of the old crater and are reached by fibre
 ladders from the rim. Unwilling to trust these with his weight, MT. New man has provided himself with seal Ing ladders, such as the firemen use. The chief food of the natives is liz
 ards and small game. Hot springs in the cave provide the source of heat rof their cooking, and there are plen- ty of cold water springs. Much of 1 the water is highly mineralized, ac-
 cording to report, and is credited with
 being conductive to longevity, many
 of the natives according to their own
 computations, living for 150 years
 more or less. Any one going to call | on the volcano dwellers had better
 provide himself with handbook of 1 the Efasefadora language, as the na- l tives all speak that we'll known lan-
 guage.
 1 Are the natives ferocious?" MT.
 Newman was asked just before he left. l Mot a bit more than the elevator
 boy in an apartment house." he an swered with emphasis.

WARSHIPS HAVE MANY ODD TASKS
 ASSIGNED THEM
French Fleet Once Fought Finny Sea Forces and
 Were Badly Licked

The primary duty of a warship as every one knows, is to protect the shores of the country which owns and maintains it, against. invasion, and to be ready to carry out any warlike pro- ject it's rulers may decide to embark upon, but occasionally warships get some queer jobs to carry through jobs which are as unlike their ordin- ary duties as may be.
 For instance, the recent loss of Lord Kitchener. is fresh in the public mind. and this shows the Hampshire doing the duties of an ordinary passenger line, while it is only about three years ago that H. M. S. Natal carried the body of a defunct American Ambassa- dor across to his own country for bur- ia1, undergoing the severest battering she has ever had in peace time on the voyage. She lost a funnel and one, of her big gun turrets through the ex- cessive rolling and the sailors began to look askance at each other ana wonder if there was anything in that old superstition which said it was seeking trouble to go to sea with a dead man on board.
 Some years ago an enormous shoal
 
 French fishing boats in the Mediter- rainean. They slashed through nets, they impeded the progress of the fish, ing boats and they practically ruined dozens of the fishers. Their mode of warfare was to sport around the ships bows while their nets were down, but as soon as these were haul ed up they attacked them in hordes, seeking to get at and feed off the cap- tured fish, tearing the nets to pieces as they did so. At last, in despara- tion, the fishermen appealed to their government to take steps to cope with this menace to their living, and the government sent out a couple of cruis- CTS to see what they could do.
 The captains of the warships had full discretionary powers; and, indeed, when they reached the fishing grounds they had ont far to seek for their enemy. The porpoises came in shoals and schools, until the water was black with their gamboling forms. The sailors watched the attack made upon a trawler's net by the sea pigs, and then. ordering all the fish ing vessels into port, commenced to clear the sea. They steamed slowly up and down the black mass, firing Maxim guns-with a rate of fire o1

human, and I cheerfully surrendered
 myself to his wisdom, fell back on my
 pillows and reflected the situation. I
 knew more about curves and angles than Bob did, but he could find them
 better than I could.
 "We made AZ miles the last day, stopping at noon for about an hour, at a roadhouse. The proprietor was asked to fill the hot-water bottle, and
 being liberal minded, he filled it so full it was ready to pop. A little later something did pop it and I got three
 pints of water in my, skirts and blan-
 kets-mercury 46 below and miles from any habitation.
 For once the Malamute Kid look
 ed nonplussed-did not know just what to do with me or what I would do. I took command of the expedi-
 tion myself; told him to throw the
 thing away quick, roll me up in the
 blankets, pull my steamer rug over my head two thicknesses and drive. "I hugged that wet mass around me for five hours and addressed my wits to the conservation of every degree of heat.
 Talk about cOnservation-Mala- mute and I had Pinchot skinned a
 mile. The carbon foot warmer made it possible to make it to Cinema, where we put in port for repairs. As got out of the sled my skirts and blankets froze stiff. The town of Cinema is about deserted; nothing is open but a restaurant back of 8 saloon, and it's fire was entirely out. The saloon keeper took me several blocks to his home and they fulfilled the Biblical injunction anent the stranger. After I was dried, warmed and fed, we continued our Journey in com- fort for three hours longer, Ypulling into Fairbanks just in time to hear the salute to the New Year at mid night. And I never even took cold. I count every moment of the trip worth while, even the moment when the bag burst The round-trip fare
 was $35, bed was $1 and every meal $1.50,, and still it was worth it.

300 round per minute-into the ranks of the porpoises. The carnage was terrible, and soon there were as many dead fish as gambling ones. But the survivors did not appear to be at all frightened. Next day they came and leaped across the cruisers bows, while the battle went on. And it was three full days before hostilities were ended, and the cruisers returned to port triumphant, having practically annihilated the enemy.
 A couple of years ago an Australian warship had the job of looking for and destroying a sea monster, which, according to those who had encoun- tered it, was far more ferocious, enor- nous, terrifying and hideous than the greatest sea serpent of fable-or the Silly season. The ships company treated the whole affair as joke. laughing at the tales they had heard as the outcome of too much rum, and it is certain that they were exceeding ly astonished when, reaching the wa ters where the monster supposedly lay in wait for ships, a strange, monstrous head was seen swimming through the waters toward them.
 The ship immediately cleared for action, and the guns crews had a nov el battle practice, firing at the thing, using both four-inch and 12-pounder guns, trying to catch 1t with harpoons and riddle it with rifle bullets. Three full hours the fighting went on, and ten the strange creature threw up the sponge.
 They secured lines to it and hauled it on board, and it was discovered to be an enormous sea elephant, more than 40 feet long.
 But warsips do not always win in battles of this nature. The Norwegian government had occasion to send out quite small fleet of ships, some years ago, to wipe out of existence a colOs- sal herd of seals, which was denuding the sea off their northwest coast of all fish, thereby rendering the sea har- vesters desperate. The ships were armed with guns, mines and torpe- does, and sallied forth intent upon a few days good sport, which was to give every man in their complement at least one sealskin, and to earn them an enormous sum in bounty. But they reckoned on thousands of seals, they found there were millions.
 They went into action; they fired their guns, they sowed their mines, they discharged their torpedoes; and then, again they started firing their guns. They fought for a week and a day, and then, strangely enough, the armed warships had to retire in good order" before the unarmed and de- fenseless seals, having used every of ammunition, every mine.and every torpedo without carrying out the ob- ject they set out to accomplish. They were defeated, and, what is more, had suffered casualties. for one man was killed and two others severely injured in gun accident during the strange battle.
