and you, Bill, what is your past
life?'
"Oh, I've knocked around. Let me
see have tried mining in Mexico,
whaling and hunting in Alaska, a bit
of farming, and | got tired Of it and
went back to work for Uncle Sam"
But this brief synopsis covered a
volume of adventure and true ro-
nance, This man has sailed before
the mast with Jack London He has
driven him into the rigging with a
Delaying pin for insubordination. Poor
fellow. He was ever ready for fight
or frolic. knew what he was after
and he got it," The big characters in
London's sea tales were as we'll known
to this man as to London. They were
all taken from life, and the speaker
had sailed with or met most of them.

Two men met in a federal building
in st. Thomas. One of them an en-
ployee of the executive branch of the
government, on a visit to the new
possessions. The other in the uniform
of the U. S. N.
Hello, Jack, how have you been?"
Bless your heart, Bill, is that you?
Haven't seen you since we broke up
in 1895"
Rather an undemonstratiye meeting
for two comrades of the Philippine
campaign who had met for the first
time in nineteen years and that by
accident.
But the story was worth while when
these two young veterans later grew
reminiscent. | felt none the less hon
ored because of the fact that my
presence was unnecessary.
What ever became of Tom, Dick
and Harry?"
Tom is in Washington, Dick is dead,
poor fellow, and Harry? I don't know
what ever became of him.
And so the story of the after lives
of the company and regiment was
pieced together as best they could.
These two men had served their
country through a period in which
the national idea was destined to un-
dergo change. Insensibly we we're
taking our first steps in world politics
and learning the first rudiments of
colonization. The talk drifted to the
Philippines to the islands of Guam, to
Samoa. 1t was in Guam that the fever
took the company. Each morning
their numbers grew less.
"Who will be next?" was the para
mount question.

In Samoa, one of them was in the
hospital with bullet through his leg.
The other was one of a detachment
who were purposely lost in the jungles
by treacherous native guides. Out of
the sixty-four who went in but seven
came back. All were personally known
to these men, their names as familiar
as our schoolmates they discussed the
terror of this expedition. How one of
them went stark mad with thirst and
fever and rushed into the jungle to be
seen no more. How another calmly
bid his comrades good bye and lay
down with smile on his lips to leave
his bones bleaching on the far off
island. How to press on seemed i'm
possible and to drop behind meant
death How one by one they dropped,
until the tattered, wounded, insect bit.

From Extorting War

/. Washington, Oct. 2D.-That the cor

prices and that most of the essential
commodities would continue to show
cost reductions between COW and the
end of the year, is the notice given
to the public by Food Administrator
Hoover.
He pointed out, also, that retail
prices are not going down in accord
With Wholesale reductions and intimat.
ed that the consumer, himself, might
correct this by bringing proper pres
sure to bear.
To AID the public in dealing with
those retailers who continue to extort
wav profits, the food administration
now is collecting wholesale prices on
all staples in 700 cities and soon will
begin publishing them weekly for com
parison with the retail figures. With
out further authority from Congress
Mr.. Hoover said, the government Is
powerless to control retailers, except
those doing a business of more thar
500. 900 a year.
AS an illustration Of how the price
to the consumer is being kept up

VICTIMS OF AIR RAIDS
Mother and Seven in Family
Killed BY Teuton Bomb.
Another Mother Burned to Crisp
Though childrsn Sleeping With
Her Are Rescued.

London, Oct. 23.-It is just revealed
how, in the last German air raid over
London, bombs dropped by Zeppelins
killed a mother and seven children in
one family and brought death to an
other mother sleeping with her two
babies.
Asleep in Home.
The mother and her family'of seven
we're asleep In their home in the Lon
don downtown district. A bomb struck
the house. destroying It. A ledger was
killed at the same time. None of the
bodies has been recovered.
Eight bombs were dropped in a
small town outside of London. One
went. through the roof of a workman's
home and entered a home where the
wife and her TWO babies we're asleep
The mother was burned to a crisp

destroyer screen. did its work and es-
capped unchallenged.
A majority of the officers who would
comment thought the transport and
her conveying patrols had ran directly
over a lurking submarine, which saw
them coming, calculated the distance
and launched her deadly torpedo with
out ever showing more than her peri
scope. They regard it as probable
that the U-boat commander picked his
place, lay in wait below the surface
until his microphones told him the
patrols had passed and the transport
was upon him, then shot his periscope
above water only long enough to sight
and fire before he ducked back to
safety.
Rescue Work Prevents Pursuit.
Any attempt to locate the submarine
probably was made impossible by the
necessity of rescuing the survivors.
The vessel must have been virtually
torn in half by the explosion to have
gone down in the time she did.
Probably the attack was made well
| out at sea. II took two days for he
news 10 reach Washington and the
dispatch shows the time that must
have elapsed before definite word
could reach Admiral Sims. The sur
vivors are believed to be already safe
ashore somewhere in France or Eng
land.
So far as known, no high officers OF
the army or navy we're due to return
CT the Antilles. There Is no defnito
information on that point. however, as
only General Pershing knows who was
sent home on the ship. The reports
so far show that a number OF army
officers and S3 enlisted army men
were aboard. Evidently Admiral
Sims rushed his tidings of before he
communicated with General Pershing.
