FAST ACTION
WnfN TORPEDO
HITS STEAMER
Details of How Men Behaved When
:. s. Ballarat Was Struck
BY German Sub.

LONDON. June 4.-What happens
when q transport loaded with troops is
sunk by a German submarine is
graphically told in the story of the
sinking of the steamer Ballarat, which
was torpedoed April %, while carrying
Australian troops to England, and
sunk without the loss of a man.
Drill, discipline and tradition counted.
There were no heroicS, fuss or panic,
but considerable htmor and much eff
ficiency. AS the vessel did not sink for
four hours, there was ample time to
save even the ships pets and the sol
dierS' mascots.
1t was Anzac day, and the officers
were planning to hold a memorial
service. The commanding officer was
dealing with remanded case. "And
what have you been dOing?" he asked,
when there came a dull crash, 3 sound
that seemed, as he said. Ito lift the
skin off your face" and the ship be-
gan to take list. The alarm was
sounded by the bugleS, instantly fol-
lowed by the advance Without con-
fusion of any kind the men in four
minutes fell in at their boat stations.
During the voyage they had been
told stories of the Southland and the
Birkenhead, Of the behavior Of the
troops and men on these occasions.
Those men who had used flowery and
fluent parts of speech cOndenmning the
previous boat drills now used equally
literary expressions in praise of
them.
Its all right, boys" man called
out, "the old man is on the bridge"
Don't sing too loud" said an officer,
laughing, because l can't give or
ders." The order to "Stand easy"
was given out.
The turn Of the navy came now.
The men knew instinctively that the
navy would turn up. 1t turned up.
DestroyerS and trawlers appeared like
magic. There was a moderate sea, and
the ship. having been struck near the

propeller, began settling down by the
stern.
While waiting for the boats to be
lowered some of the men sang, some
settled down to play cards, and most
of them smoked. The nurses remained
with the medical staff until all the pa
tients had been provided for, and the
whole medical staff remained with the
patients until they were safely placed
in boats.
Every pet was saved with the ex-
ception of some of the ships eats, and
eats, as Kipling says, prefer to walk
alone. Over the side went Bill Amaze,
an Australian parrot, in cage; a
gray squirrel had the run of raft; a
fox terrier and her puppies are now
guests of the officers of a destroyer.
And it was all done decently and in
order
A bandmaster who was wont to call
upon his band to fall in by means of
a certain call on his cornet, had saved
that instrument. and when the men
were in the boats they heard from
destroyer the old familiar cornet sing
out, and across the water came
great noise of laughter from all the
boats because the little joke had
struck home. The men had lost their
ship, were miles from anywhere, in
open boats, but they could see the hu-
NOR of it.
1t wasn't exactly courage, because
heaps of the men were in a funk; and
it wasn't exactly bluff, because you
can't put up bluff in sinking ship,
and the sea looks awfully big when
one can't see any land, and there's just
a handful of officers running the job
and enough boats, and a fearful ig-
norance of maritime geography. 1t is
thing which is very difficult to define.
1t was the voice of the empire speak
ing to each man, and saying, eve do
the thing well. and we always have,
and we are always going to. Are
you game" The men were splendid.
They were landed with promptness
and despatch, and some set foot on
England for the first time without
boots.
The submarine was never seen-she
plays 4 small part in this affair; but
the British navy was there and took a
very great part; prompt assistance, up
to time and no fuss.

County Agent Meeting at
North Howell Last Night

North Howell, Dec. 20.-F R.
Brown, county agricuturist, and 0. NJ.
Plummer of Portland, held a meeting
at North Howell Wednesday evening
for the purpose of discussing and out
linino the plan of work of the county
agent and incidentally to secure sigma
lures petitioning the county court to
make provision for the same in the
budget.
w. H. Stevens called the house to
order and introduced Mr.. Brown, who
explained the plan adopted by the
county council after which Mr.. Plum
mer was introduced and presented the
subject from the federal standpoint.
Questions and discussion being called
for S. H. Van Trump took the floor and
gave what Mr.. Plummer styled one Of
the most masterful speeches he had
ever listened to. Mr. Van Trump di-
rected his remarks at what might be
called a system Of Imperialism which
he claimed was growing in this eoun-
try, calling attention to the absolute
failure Of the agricultural institutions
to fit men for actual farmers until a
change Of conditions will allow the
business side Of farming to pay in pro-
portion to the salaries in professional

lines.
Mr.. Van Trump deplored the fact
that while we are saturizing the soil
in France with the best blood of the
nation there is an element at work at
home perfecting a system that will
ultimately lead to the very conditions
that we are fighting in Europe. His
remarks were characterized throughout
with a plea to his audience to support
the doctrine and cause as outlined by
President Wilson, and to guard against
any system that would make it possi-
bic for the world to ever again be
plunged into such a terrible struggle
as the present one to throw off the
yoke of tyranny.
Mr.. Brown made some very good
points but being unable to prove to the
of the audience that the
county agent proposition is war
measure, all those who had not previ
ously done so signed a petition stating
that the expense Of the office will be
more than it would be worth to the tax
payers.

mier declared, emphasizing his momen-
tous words with ringing tones.
Gone guarantee for such a world IS
peace must be the destruction of her
military power. And must be the dem
ocratization Of the German govern
ment".
Lloyd-George was frank in admitting
the allies disappointment of their vii
itary hopes this year-which he attrib-
uted to the collapse of Russia. He held,
however, that the single military sue
ces the enemey had been able to gain
was due to surprise, and added this
German stroke and the British failure to
fend it off was now under investiga-
tion. Germany, he said, had lost 100000
men taken prisoner during the year.
"British losses have been not more
than one fourth of those of Germany" !"
the PRIMER continued.
"Our man power and reserves are
more than double those of the Central
Powers. /"
The submarine situation, the Welsh
statesman viewed optimistieally. He
said the food shortage had been great
ly improved.
dGeorge' speech came as di-
rect result of questions raised in the
house of commons today by Sir William
Collins and other liberals. These lead
ers met last night and decided if i'll
were possible to have the premier make
his long advertised war aims speech to-
lay.
