Abuse of the so. s. signal.
(From the Paris Petit Journal.

(F>rom the Paris Petit Journal.)
 Count Won Ukner, in command of German corsair, the armed bark Seeadler, shot at and sank a French steamer after himself sending out the s. o. s. distress signal. The French steamer, answering the S. O. s. rushed to the rescue The details of what happened are given by the captain, who says:
 When we received the s. O. S. from . ship pretending to be the Norwegian vessel Bergen gave or- ders to rush to the point indicated, at the same time wirelessing that we were coming at full steam. When we made the ship she appeared to be floating normally, but with all lights out. Judge of our surprise when within three lengths of her a searchlight was played on us. and the Norwegian flag was lowered ard replaced by German flag.
 Seeing that I had fallen into a trap, I turned about, but a shot had already struck us under the water line. Three more shells struck us in quick succession. We were so near the corsair that we could hear the of ficers gibing at us with cries of "Vive la France!" We launched our boats, but one was hit and four occupants killed. We sent out an s. O. S. and were soon afterward picked up by a British cruiser, the German ship mak- ing off"

prcies for. 10 these many months. or. more properly since the world war began. With the entrance of tho United States into the conflict the sit- uation was rapidly becoming unbear- able. There was prediction that the prices on coal would continue to mount skyward until this all import ant commodity would sell in the neighborhood of twenty-five dollars a ton. That. indeed, would be the limit of endurance. We have had enough oppression from the coal dealers. They now promise to do better. Whether this promised was squeezed from, them by the government through fear of losing their holdings and giving them over to government agencies for operation. or whether the promise came forth as a result of the patriotic wave sweeping the country, is immaterial. Tho main fact is that the osars and barons of the coal in- dustry have been forced to abdicate. And with their stepping down from the throne must come cheaper coal.

PREPosTERoUs, OUTRAGEOUS.

Weekly Grocery Bills Border on Trag-
 edy-Long Live the Coop"
 New Britain. June 26, 1917. To the Editor of the Herald:
 Will you kindly allow me small space in your valued paper?
 l cannot resist a comment on the fact disclosed in yesterdays paper. that the retail grocerymen are pre- pairing an ultimatum which bodes no > good to the co-operative stores, formed by employees of the various manufacturing concerns. A very natural measure: for self-preserva- tion is one of natures fundomental laws.
 But is not the law equally ap- plicable to the employees? If a work ing man Is to keep his family, with any degree of comfort, during these days of sky-rocket-y prices. the CO., operative store plan is necessary. He must avail himself of some such req sonable plan. Why should he pay four or five cents a pound more for every bit of foodstuff consumed by his family, in order that his grocer may prosper as usual? Especially since money does not grow for the poor man as plentifully as black berries!
 wish that my own household were "in'' on the cooperative plan when I peruse our grocer's weekly bill, for 1t is. milding speaking, pre- posterous, outrageous, tragic-almost sacrilegious!
 These days are ones of sacrifice. Surely, it is the part of wisdom not to sacrifice more than Is necessary. Let one hundred, or even two hun dred grocers be sacrificed then,-if thereby thousands of working men and their families are going to be spared cruel privations and insured degree of comfort. Let the grocers get job in the factories and share the much-needed benefits of the CO., operative store, until war days are past and prices back to nornial!
 Long live the cooperative storesl Down with the grocers' selflshneasi Is 1t not part of your patriotic ''bit," Grocers to rejoice that so many more Americans can be kept com- fortable during these times of sac- rifice-while our country is marching on to v1ctory?F
 Very truly yours,
 F. D. L..
