fence in a railroad Office, which

My Dear Sir-I have not met

The time has come when the
very best service is necessary.
not only in the front line trench
es in France, but in every branch
of our Government, National,
State and local. The Federal
government having taken charge
OF the railroads. the work of a
State Commissioner will become
more interregional in character,
and will require not only greater
theoretical, but practical knowl-
edge as well.
Following the wake of the
present war will come the great
est agricultural, industrial, COM

ever known in the history of our
country, and the extension of our
relations, the fixing of just and
reasonable freight rates, and the |
operation of our public service
corporations, will be of the most
vital and special Importance to

]. S. WARSHIP BLOWS
SUBMARINE INTO BITS

IN Atlantic Port, May 10.-The
Striking of a German submarine by a
United States warship with a shot
which lifted the U-boat completely out
of the water and broke her in two was
reported by officers of the ship upon
arrival here yesterday. Because Of
the fine work Of her gunners the crew
of the ship was given an additional
furlough of ten days.
On the voyage over the warship
sighted squad of submarines and the
gunners sprang to their guns. The
first two shots fired in quick success
sion at the nearest enemy missed, but
the third caught the U-boat just be-
low the waterline. The craft was lift
ed out of the water and in another
moment she doubled up and sank.
Survivors were seen in the water
and the other submarines dived and
did not reappear.

meat after they have been fed on the

women can do" says Miss Robinson,

ICELANDIC MOTHERS WORKING
FOR THE WAR.

Here in the United States there are
lcelandic women who are doing war
work, for they owe allegiance to the
flag and have members of their fam
lies in the American army. In re-
cent letter Mrs. B. B. Gislason, chair
man of the Minnesota division of the
woman's committee, Council of Ma
tional Defense, describes meeting at
which 10 women were present.
Because some of the older members
can not speak English, the program
was mainly in Icelandic," Mrs. Gisla-
son says. "You would not have I'M
derstood much of what was said, hui
you would have understood and APP
preciated the music of the knitting
needles. Almost every woman had her
knitting, and how the needles did fly!
The war is uppermost in the hearts of
these women, for they have IL boys
in the service. The music of the knit
ting needles will follow those dear
boys across the ocean and help them
fight for the good of their beloved
America"
