'The Turkish batteries on the cliffs

Though the mine fields we were at
point blank range. The ammunition
wasn't so very good, and it didn't al

Of anything left but the hole it made

"Of course the Turk guns firing into
the fields detonated lot of their own
mines, but that didn't add to our COM
fort any, for many Of them were right
under some of the NJ. LIS.
"Onc day we were sweeping in near
shore. The sun was SO hot that pitch
Just seemed to sweat out and run
down the decks. The glare off the
water was almost binding, and it
really didn't seem as If it could be
much better in the other place to

shells hit us. The Turkish batteries
were hammering away at us, but the
terrific heat was SO uncomfortable that
nobody minded the shells much. All
of sudden something went by my
stomach SO close thought it had cut
me in two. Just beyond my boat a
shell splashed into the water.

The story of this armed merchant
man shows that simply placing guns
on steamships is not going to protect
them against submarines. There has
got to be SORT of craft to fight them
on something like equal terms, and the
swift, seaworthy, low lying NJ. LIS
seem to be the ones to do it. But
great numbers of them are needed,
and great numbers of trained men are
needed to operate them.

The Sea Slugs in England sing

that the first NJ. LIS were built In

The president of the Non-Smok-
ers' League of America has adj
dressed an open letter to PRECEDENT
Wilson protesting against giving to-
bacco in any form to American SOL
diers and praying that the cultiva-
tion of tobacco be prohibited be-
cause the land should produce food.
He calls supplying tobacco to SOL
diers crime and abuses the Ameri-
can Red Cross for being party to
it.
If the boys who go to France are
not to be allowed the use of tobacco
by the over-zealous Non-Smokers
League, those who stay at home
should suffer the same fate. If the
cultivation of tobacco is prohibited
on account of the land being more
valuable for other crops, all well
and good, but why start tobacco
prohibition on the soldier boys? 1t
would be we'll to put ban on the
cigarettes but if the Sammies want
their Jimmy pipes, let them have
them.

The Club women of the state are
advocating dress reform for the
girls in our public schools and ask
school authorities that simpler styles
in dress be made compulsory in
Idaho. They even go so far as to
hint that the lack of dress on the

leads to positive immortality. This
talk of dress reform by these excel
lent women is we'll timed but why
compel school girls to becomingly
drape the human form divine and
allow those who have mastered
the three RS to roam the streets
with dresses abbreviated to the
limit of decency.
