cles ts young American, acho has spent
most of his time since the acdr started
scith the British patrol fleet, taking an
important part In helping to organize
that branch of the service kno,on as
the Sea Slugs.
He has accumulated q remarkable
collection of anecdotes incident to this
exciting branch of the serUice, and
many of these loere personal adven-
lures in 1chich he took part and a0hich
make one of the stirring narratives to
come out Of the aodr. He recently re-
turned to the United States to assist
the American nary in organizing the
same branch of the service and should
be of great UGlue because of his expert
e,sce abroad. So far as knoa0a, he Is the
only american to serUe aOith the British

A Matter of Luck.

AS / said before, the catching of a
submarine and its destruction is great
ly matter of luck. Sometimes the
NJ. LIS cruise around for days without
seeing one, and then perhaps U boat
will pop to the surface within couple
Of hundred yards. The most impOr-
tant adjunct to luck is an all seeing
eye. One never knows where the peri.
scope is going to stick out above the
surface, and you must be ready at any
second to make 1t out at any point Of
the compass.
Just how many submarines were
'got" while l was in England / am
not at liberty to say, but 1 can 60 on
record as stating that they are not
easy to get, and the captives are few
er than generally supposed. A vast
number Of units are necessary to COM
bat them with any degree Of success.
Besides being invisible almost at will,
the submarines are manned by men of
nerve.
pie that submarine crews are more or
less only sneaks, who strike In the
dark or when there is no danger for
themselves, should be dispelled. The
submarines are operated by men who
fear death not at all and who some
times take staggering chances. If the
British develop one trick that bags a
single submarine they consider it a
success. News of English ruses
spreads rapidly in the under water gOs-
sip.
q boats have run in a few scant
miles from shore and sunk all sorts Of
craft, and they have even tackled de-
stroyers. The British had some very
sad experiences in sending destrOyers
on rescue work, after which they used
the M. LIS for this purpose. These
make smaller torpedo targets The
Germans are supposed not to risk o
boats unduly; but, believe me, they do
I talked with the chief engineer and
one Of the crew of British sugar ship
from the West Indies who had been
rescued after being tOrpedoed.

the engineer, land we were mighty
glad to get in. The day was remarka-
bly, clear, and the water was oily

didn't think there was a chance of
anything attacking us when just at
o'clock in the afternoon a submarine
appeared off our port bow and signaled
us to stop.
1--WE were armed with A. gun on
our stern and had navy gunners on
board, so instead Of obeying we turned
sharply to starboard to present as
small target as possible for torpedo
and opened fire.
The first two shots fell short, and
the third went over the q boat. The
way some people talk you would have
expected the submarine to run away.
She didn't do anything of the kind.
She opened up OH us with a gun that
must have been at least three inch
piece, and the second shot hit one of
our gun mounts.

MAX HORTON, the man who tor
lVl pedoed the German battle cruis-
er Moltke, was one of the most
modest men 1 have ever met. l palled
around for a couple of nights with
Horton and another Sea Slug who had
been only a short time out of the
Hasda hospital, where he had recov-
cred from wounds he received at CALI

OF the Moltke incident when in COM

German and British.
We were all at Portsmouth, which
is one of the principal NJ. l.. bases.
Horton, his friend and myself had been
out on a duty tour and On the way
back stopped at The Knut for couple
Of drinks, then at Monks for oysters
which is about the program followed
by the Sea Slugs when they can get
ashore.
"They had the M. LIS sweeping
mines down at Gallipoli," said Horton
In a very matter Of fact way. Lots
of people think all we Slugs have to
do is to cruise around and keep from
drowning, but 1 want to tell you that
chasing submarines is the easiest and
safest thing expected Of us.
'@Tugboats and trawlers and. mine
sweepers weren't much good in the
Dardanelles, because they furnished
too big a target. Besides, everything
that could float was getting shot to
pieces, and before they dared send our
ships In it was absolutely necessary
to sweep the mine fields.
1--WE used to hook thousand foot ca
bles between two NJ. LIS and cruise
down through the fields as fast as We
could go. The cables were supposed
to foul the mines, tip them over and
explode them. They did it. Also the
NJ. LIS themselves tipped over sew
eral mines and exploded them, and
after that there wasn't anything to
hook that end of the cable to-

1.-THE Turkish batteries on the cliffs
were so close that as we drove down
through the mine fields We were at
point blank range. The ammunition
wasn't so very good, and it didn't al

one of the heavy shells smashed
through a chaser there wasn't much
Of anything left but the hole it made
on the way through-like doughnut
after you eat 1t.
''Of course the Turk guns firing into
the fields detonated a lot Of their own

TO BEGIN HAULING FOR ELEC
TRIO LIGHT DAM.

Construction work on the electric light
dam at the Clearwater is nearer realiza-
ton. T. A. Bayless, local manager of
the company is busy on plans for the
improvement of the roads between here
and the site of the dam. The road is in
many places steep and unfit for heavy
hauling. Much Improvement and
actual road building will have to be
done before machinery and constru,-
ton material S can be transported. A
bridge will have to be built somewhere
in the vicinity of the light plant.
Mr.. Bayless has asked for bids on the
hauling. The material to be transport
ed consists of cement, iron, lumber, and
machinery and amounts to about one
thousand tons. The principal machinery
to be hauled is a rock crusher and a
concrete mixer. 1t will probably be two
or three weeks before any of this haul
ing will begin because the roads are
not in repair and the material has not
arrived. The construction materials,
however, are expected to arrive shortly.
The whole shipment will amount to over
fifteen carloads.

deep as that of a tomb always

member, no matter how much he
might disagree with the majority.
1t is quietly whispered that, hence
forth, when matters of real i'm
portance are concerned, it will be
the policy Of minority members Of
a committee to bring in minority
reports, thus giving the board the
responsibility and opportunity Of
thoroughly airing the merits of
matters as well as adopt minor
ity report if so desired.
L. A. Larson, formerly chief en-
gineer for the board Of education,
now a Twin City consulting en-
gineer, sent long eulogy of his
skill as a heating and ventilation
expert and wished to be retained
by the Duluth board of education,
either on a fee or salary basis.
II hope he has learned to test
coal without blowing up his ma
chine, as he invariably did when
in Duluth,'' exclaimed director
Brewer. The communication was
received and ordered on file.
After all the fuss and feathers
over proposed sale Of the Smith
vile schoolhouse, the board de-
cided to retain it for school pur-
poses instead Of paying $40 a
month for the use of the church.
It was found that the church had
no conveniences' that the old
schoolhouse did not. By building
some steps to the old building, it
possibly has advantages over the
church.

MANGANESE ORE BOOMS
PHMIPSBURG, MONTANA.

Philipsburg, Montana, once was
a heavy silver producer but when
silver was, demonetized, the place
declined and passed nearly off the
mining map. Manganese deposits,
exposed il large quantity in the
silver mining days, have brought
Philipsburg back, quickly and
richly. j. E. Van Gundy, a rep
resentative Of the U. S. Steel Cor
poration, in Spokane interview
said:
"Philipsburg is experiencing an
era Of activity surprising even
that CT the silver-boom period. Men
without money six months ago
have become affluent. Five men
are sharing the profits from daily
shipments of four carloads worth
$4,000 per car, net-$400 a day,
each. Another man has $4,000
worth of manganese on the dump
of an old mine and will have no
expense except the loading. One
mine opened up a glory hole with
an area Of 10Ox100 #. and another
was so feet square at depth OF
400 feet. Operations are in prog
ress on 10 properties. The de-
posts of pyrolusite have been pro
nounced the largest and best in
the United States. The output of
the camp is 600 tons day and
soon will reach 1000 tons. Eighty
per cent of the value of the ore is
paid to the producer as soon as
the ore is loaded onto the cars. u
