alters of old, seeking combats with
those who would accept their gage.
Stories of their gallant charges with
drawn sabres against enemy batteries
and into the strong infantry positions
have been innumerable. But perhaps
none of them had a more exciting time
than a squadron of Canadian horse

Rose with Rush

TO the gre relief of the crew the
C-boat responded and rose to the sur
face With such rush that some Of
the Germans were thrown about and
injured The r-boat appeared on the
surface within several hundred feet
of an American destroyer. The sub
marines matches flew open and the
Germans scrambled out of the coming
tower, coatless and shoeless, ready to
swim for it, They lined up along the
marrow deck with hands in the air,
shouting "kamerad.'
The C-boat remained stationary,
and the destroyer moved close up and
i,eaved a line, which the Germans
made fast. This was no sooner done
than il became apparent that the crew
had succeeded i'll opening the sea-
cocks for the submarine began to set
Tie, at first slowly, then more rapidly.
AS she did so the Germans eaped into
the water and swan towards the destroy

jumped into the sea to rescue the injured.
AS the last German was lifted aboard
the destroyer the hawser attached to the
U-hoat parted under the strain and the
C-hoat disappeared.
Machinist Buried with Honcrs
All the Germans were given steamns
hot coffee and dry clothing and were
otherwise made comfortab BILE for the run
to the base. But one Of their number, d
machinist, had suffered greatly from
shock and exposure and died on the way.
He was buried with full military honors
from the deck Of the destroyer. the
American commander officia ting at what
was the first funeral service so far held
in this way on an American destroyer.
When the destroyer reached her base
the prisoners were almost wholly clad IN
American hlueiaCkct outfits They appear
co especially fond Of the American shoes,
which were the first they had ever worn.

The cost Of the draft in North Da-

at $4,000. or $2.72 per capita, and
was so reported to the provost mar

General Crowder says: I'm pre-

that in any state in the union. Since

Bismarck, N. D.. Nov. 1.-THE pre-
liminary hearing of Secretary Of State
Thomas Hall, charged with the en-
bezzsement of $500 Of the states
automobile. registration funds. after
dragging along since last Saturday
morning. came to an abrupt close
early Wednesday afternoon when the
state rested its case. Attorney W. H.
Stutsman, On behalf Of Mr.. Hall, an
nounced the defense had no evidence
to offer and both sides waived argu-
ment.
Police Magistrate Bleckried stated
that on the showing made it was ev-
ident that certain irregularities had
existed IN the secretary Of states Of

900 was fixed and promptly signed
for appearance at the December term
of the district court to answer to the
charge.

the only comment which the defend
ant chose to make.
Just before the adjournment Of the
hearing. Hall was served with q
subpoenae calling him al a witness
for the state in the hearing Of Eu-
gene M. Walla, which probably will
begin Thursday. Mr.. Walla, chief
clerk In registration department and
co-derendant With his chief, was call
ed as a witness by the state Wednes-
day. but after Attorney General Lam
ger and two physicians had visited
Walla's home, and found him in bed,
suffering from a high fever and in
d%ications of nervous breakdown, II
was agreed he should not be COM
PEELED to take the stand. His counsel,
Judge E. T. Burke, expressed the
hope that he would be able to ap-

Whether Hall will waive his con-

ness stand for the state Thursday in
the preliminary hearing-of his subor-

there is much conjecture as to wha,
he will do. Inasmuch as Walla's
