SUBMARINE FIRES
AT u. s. VESSEL
NEAR AMERICAN COAST--TORPE-
DO MISSES ITS MARK BY ONLY
THIRTY YARDS.

Boston. April 1.-THE war was
brought to the shores of this coun-
try today, when the United States
destroyer Smith reported by radio
that an enemy submarine had tried
unsuccessfully to torpedo her 100
miles south of New York at $3.50
this morning. Additional reports
were received from the destroyer
tonight and were forwarded to
Washington.
Nothing of an official nature re-
garding the additional reports was
made public here. A suggestion in
shipping circles that the lookout of
the Smith had perhaps mistaken a
large fish for a torpedo in the un-
certain light of the early morning
met with the reply that the Smiths
officers stood by their original
statement"
The Navy Departments version
of the original statement was:
Reported from Fire Island light
ship to the naval stations at Boston
and New York at $3.50 q. m. on the
17th, an enemy submarine was sight
ed by the U S S Smith. running ap-
parently submerged. Submarine
fired a torpedo at the u S S Smith,
which missed her by thirty yards.
The wake of the torpedo was plainly
seen crossing the bow. Submarine
disappeared"
Whether the swift destroyer DASH
ed for the spot where the U boat
was thought to be lurking was not
made known by officers who had
seen the Smiths report of the incl
dent. Neither could it be learned
here whether there was a chance for
the Smiths quick firers to come in
to action. 1t was learned, however.
that another destroyer passed near
the position mentioned in the Smiths
report without sighting anything
unusual.

The meeting was ostensibly to i'm
press upon every individual the i'm
portance of food preparedness, a
proposition that is vitality necessary
at this particular time. and in the
interest of which general cam
paign is being waged with strenu-
osity throughout the South. The
plan for food preparedness is the
raising of a greater quantity of food
supplies on our own farms and in

MRS. DUNCAN SPEAKS.

n FRS. Bertha Schmid Duncan of Mil
Vl roy, vice chairman of the Redwood
County Red Cross Chapter, wrote
for this weeks Milroy Echo most able
article on Red Cross work and workers.
Space does not permit us to reprint the
entire article, but we take great pleasure
IN giving our readers the following salient
sentences which are worthy of being en-
blazoned upon banner to lead this vast
army of workers.
IF but half of the willing workers
among the women of the United States
could now be modified and marshaled and
apportioned to their own specific Job, and
stay right on that job for the rest of the
duration of the war, there need not be a
naked or hungry child in all this war
swept world. There need not perish one
invalid, one cripple, one aged man or wom-
an from lack of food and clothing and roof.
Burn that fact into your soul for the
rest of the war! Let the fact consume in
pure flame all the petty jealousies, all the
chickering's that are all too widespread
among American women just now.

to have to give up husband and only son

enough to not only do That, but to also UNI
dertake the work of carrying on the news

JUDGE |. M. OLSEN.

WHEN many Of US smaller souls are
w tossing in the throes of hysteria
w are rushing hither and thither-
like Carlyles Sheppard accomplishing
nothing, we are likely, if we pause NOM
ment to listen, to hear calm, quiet voice
raised in sentences proclaiming justice
and right and a truth so simple that all
who stop to listen are bound to under
stand. That voice is personifed in l. M.
Olsen, judge of the ninth judicial district.
With love of truth which is the highest
reverence, with sense of being square,
to all mankind even ones enemies, and
with directness which is often startling
ly impressive, Judge Olsen is a power in
the court, in his private life, and on those
occasions when he speaks publicly such as
few men in the state are, and our district
is fortunate as few others are. The Judge
is keen to detect the slightest symptom of
f1attery or insincerity, so we stop while
we have said only those things which even
his modesty must admit are wholly true
we have no desire to come under his judg-
ment. But while we are all so busy crit
icizing the action of certain citizens of
Judge Olsen's home city, it is as we'll for
us to remember that he is there with his
big patriotism, his genuine Americanism
and the poise which is not disturbed by
gnat stings. And he doesn't stand alone
IN this class, but he does lead.

|THE St. Paul Dispatch announces with
large headlines that many boys from

been hit by the draft. The city papers
cannot rid themselves of the habit of di-
viding mankind into classes based on the
proposition of wealth and dancing ability.
For Gods sake isn't it time to cut out this
kind of stuff? The day has come in Amer

manhood, and to forget that some men
have less than others, and to realize that
polite manners are very cheap affairs COM
