Sam in the Civil war days when tho
pack mule represented the last word
in army, transportation, the Quad's
performance was great revelation.
This same Quad truck built by the
Nash Motors company, is now being
furnished in large quantities to the
various branches OF the United States
war department and altho the Nash
Motors company refuses to state just
to what extent they have been favored
with government orders, II is known
that the great Nash plant is busy day
and night trying to turn out enough
units to meet present day military
needs for this truck.

THE PROGRESS OF THE SUBMARINE
CAMPAIGN.

Not much is being said at the present
time about the progress of the German
submarine campaign on commerce ships
of all nations entering, and going from,
ports of the entente allies. Those condi-
tons are either being overshadowed by
the more striking events taking place be-
tween the land forces on the western war
front or they are being purposely mini
mixed because of the encouragement
through confession of food shortage by
the entente countries. Nevertheless it is
evident that the German U-boats are not
being checked in their deadly work to
any great extent. 1t is said that the
British admiralty, in taking the United
States naval authorities into its conf.
dencs following the action of the Wash
ington government in joining hands with
the entente gave away many of the Sc
crets of the British navy, including the
statement concerning the number of Ger
man submarines captured or sunk. OF
know what those figures are; but it is
evident from the admitted losses of Brit
ish shipping that the submarines increase
faster than they are destroyed by the
entente. For instance the British admir-
atty admits that two score OF merchant
ships were sunk during the week most re
Gently reported upon, which is number
somewhat in excess OF the average since
the German campaign of unrestricted !
commerce warfare was undertaken. 1t
comes down. therefore, to a test of edur- |
ance, whether the entente nations, with
the aid of the United States, can furnish |
enough ships to keep ahead OF the de
vourers of the vessels while at the same |
time the submarine chasers are doing /
their utmost to reduce the peril. The /
German admiralty is redoubling its actiy- |
ity in order to get in its work ahead of /
the aid which the United States can offer
in the shape of thousand commerce
vessels. Hence it behooves the United
States to rush the work of construction
to the very limit and in the meantime to /
throw in all the commerce carrying YES 4
sells available. We must give the entente
nations our very best, even though it
might mean the last ship under American
registry. Germany is defeated, virtually
defeated, except in this most desperate
phase OF its activity. The United States

FIRST WHITE BOY
Youth Accompanied Columbus
Expedition in 1892.
Detailed at Helm While Superiors
Slept, Youngster Was Blamed
for Wreck of Santa Maria.

Many phases of the life of Column
bus offer mysteries that the histori-
ans have never been able to clear
away, and one student of the life OF
the great explorer has cone across
an incidental mystery that has an ap-
pealing interest. 1t relates to boy
who accompanied the expedition OF
1492-the only boy among its mem-
bers, and consequently the first white
boy to set foot in America.
The contemporary accounts of the
first expedition of Columbus mention
the boy In question only once and
that briefly. They indicate that he
was the only boy in the expedition
and they place on his young shodl-
ders the blame for the great catas-
trophe that befell when the Santa
Maria was wrecked on the coast of
Hayti. To be sure the story of the
wreck shows that the boy was less
to blame than his elders, but ii was
easy enough to make him the scape-
goat. IT was the night before Christ
mas, 1892. ten weeks after the dis
ccvery OF the land, and Columbus was
pushing his search for gold among the
West Indies. The flagship, the Sa"ta
Maria, was Skirting the coast Of Hay
II, and late at night, as the wind was
light and the ship barely moving, Col
umbuS went to his cabin for rest. He
passed the helm over to the captain.
he. too, soon felt the need Of sleep
and went below. His successor at the
tiller was sailor and he shortly fol-
lowed the example of the admiral and
The master. Before he went he awak-
ened the lad in question and told him
20 mind the helm.
The boy did not go to sleep. He
was doubtless Il live lad and he felt
the Importance of being trusted to
steer the ship. But he was in strange
waters and the currents were treach-
erous near that coast. says an ex-
change. The ship struck reef. The
admiral and crew rushed on deck In
terror. OF course they blamed the
boy. That was the way of the world
before 1892 and the fashion has never
changed
That was the end of the Santa
Maria. The crew reached the shore
In safety and made fort from the
timbers of the wreck. In that fort,
which they called La Nayidad in
honor of the day. about forty of the
crew remained while their companions
went home to Spain on the Pinta and
the Nina. One historian mentions a
tradition that the boy remained with
this number, but it is only a tradition.
The fate of the forty is Il mystery. for
when the second expedition of Colum-
bus reached that island year later
there were only few charred timberS
and bones to be found. Perhaps the
boy perished there. His name has not
even come down to us, but the brief
glimpse that we have of him is fas-
cinating one. There is something TO
stimulate the imagination in that
fleeting picture of the boy who stuck
to his post while his superiors slept.

SCARED THE BRAVE RED MAN

The proposed sale of the historic Co

authorities, and its consequent destruc-

edifice, which was built in 1904, and TO
which In the next year the ashes of
Christopher Columbus were removed

soon pass into the ownership of the
