KIDDING ENGLISH
 CHANNEL OF
 MINES
tBy Associated Press)

PARlS, June 3. Sweeping the English channel for mines laid by Ger man submarines is one of the most exciting and dangerous occupations of the war, according to the stories told by men participating in that work.
 Mine sweepers doubtless are the only vessels of the navy on which life belts are worn from the time of leav- ing port until the return" writes Jacques Marsillae, from aboard a mine sweeper on service in the channel
 ''The task of group of mine sweep. CTS, composed of seven sloops formed IS escelons, two by two, connected by ing, is to clear a channel about half mile wide and fifty miles long of the mines laid there by German sub marines" he adds. These under water mine layers carry from fifteen to twenty-four mines. according to the type, and they frequently lay them quite close together, so close in fact that it has become an axiom in the mine hunting craft that where one is found another is sure to turn up.
 "The wireless operator on the flag boat of the group, who has served on four mine sweepers that have been blown up in the service, had scarcely flashed to the boats of the group that a mine had been signalled, when a black mass adrift appeared on the crest of the waves ahead of our boat. A second later it disappeared. We steered in it's direction, every man on deck searching intently for it's re- appearance. The few minutes in which sighted mine disappears are full of infinitely disagreeable tension on board mine sweeper.
 And if we touch it?" Marsillac asked of the wireless operator.
 Then it is joss" he replied, mean ing that 1t would be fatal
 "On this occasion the fates were friendly to us," wrote Marsillac, flor the mine reappeared fifty yards away, and for some reason that no one could explain, remained in sight until the gunners could get action upon it. Round, black, it shone like a seals back, showing from time to time it's four mortal needles, contact with | which means destruction. The boat | sheered off and the gunners, using a special rifle ball at about 200 yards under immense difficulties, resulting from the rolling of the boat, fired fifty shots without touching one of the fatal needles. They succeeded, however, in piercing the mine, which filled with water and sank to the bottom of the sea.
 'The two leading sloops raised a half red flag, which means that they have found mine. At once began a manoeuvre intended to cut the cable holding it; suddenly steel cable that connects each couple of sloops and which is called the sweep struck the mine. It must have come in contact with one of the deadly needles, and broke the vial of acid inside which sets off the discharge, for an immense column of water shot straight into the air to height of 100 yards, complete | ly masking from each other the two sloops between which the explosion | occurred. Then the sloops went on in search of other mines, and thus continues every day this dangerous and heroic work of clearing the path of merchant ships through the high
 seas"

THERE WAS DOUBLE TRAGEDY

Both Lady Caroline. the youngest
daughter of William Charles Keppel
fourth Earl of Alhemaric. and her sis
ter, Lady Mary Stephenson. were wont
to declare that during the whole Of
their long London lives they never
had a carriage of their own. They
were both great walkers and did all
their calling and shopping on foot. To
this may perhaps be attributed the
fact that they both lived to be more
than so years Of age. Occasionally
their kind friends would offer to lend
them a carriage. and Lady Caroline
one day accepted the offer of Mrs.
Lewis Iuth's brougham.
Plate glass had lust begun to super
sede the old method of glazing car
riage windows. Lady Caroline set off
on her drive, wishing to give the
coachman an order, she promptly put
her head through the plate glass win
dow to do So for she did not perceive
that it was shut, \ great smash of
glass was the result Lady Caroline
was Mortified at the disaster and when
shortly afterward she saw Mrs. Huth
pas ing she determined to stop the
carriage and explain matters This
she at once did, but in so doing she
put her head thru the opposite plate
glass window, with the same unfortu-
nate result.-HOuth's Companion.

LURED CRUISER TO ITS DOOM
How the Pegasus Was Destroyed by
Germans Thru IA Ruse.

An astonishing story OF how, at the
outset of the war the British cruiser
Pegasus was fooled into dismantling at
Zanzibar, where she was attacked and
sunk while thus defensless by the Ger
man cruiser koenigsberg on August Q,
1914, was told by some officers and
men of the Kocnigsberg, captured at
Tabora, German East Africa, by the
Belgian troops and sent to France re-
Gently as prisoners. Their assertions
were confirmed in every particula: by
documents and maps found on Captain
Lieutenant Schroeder and other Off
GERS These and other papers seized
at Tabora furnish additional proof, If
any were needed, of German premedi-
tation in the world war. They show
that hoStilities were started in Africa
before war was declared
put out from Oar esSalem, the cap
Thus on August l the Koenigsberg
ital of German East Africa, inter
cepted British collier laden with
fuel for warships on the East African
station, put n prize crew aboard to
take her into Oar -es- Salem. and took
possession OF her wireless code. BY
means OF the code the warship sent
out "A message to the Pegasus, ordering
her to put into Zanzibar, overhaul her
machinery and scrape her hull. The
captain of the Pegasus, never doubling
that the code message came from the
admiral commanding the squadron,
did so. The koenigsberg followed her
into the harbor at Zanzibar on August
and shot her to pieces, killing three
hundred of the crew
The news of this treacherous act
soon reached the British squadron and
the Koenigsberg fled southwark and
hid up the Rufidji river, where Ad-
miral King Hall found her in the fol-
lowing July and destroyed her.
The guns of the German cruiser had
been landed meanwhile, however, and
after being used against the flotlla
that went up the river to fight her

in the land campaign until one after
the other they were destroyed or cap
tured. on more than one occasion
they were pitted against artillery sal
