Repair Ship Mysterious,

The manufacture of a large part OF
machinery ia replace anything broken
is almost impossible In the limited
space of the battleship's machine
shops. But wondrous feats are per-
formed in the repair ships that ac-
company fleets on stations remote
from dock facilities, states a British
wal correspondent.
The repair ship is a huge floating
smithy and machine shop packed with
everything that the wit of man can
concentrate into the space for treat
ing wounded battleships. These ships
employ some of the best artiicers
from our naval dockyards and are
scattered in every quarter in which
the British fleet Is stationed remote
from dock facilities. The Boche has
nothing like them and it has been
stated that no inQuisitive Boche has
ever been allowed to inffude ms nsa~~
aboard one to investigate its mysteries
and take the information to his m
ployers of how the strange feats per-
formed by the repair ship are effected.
The repair ship is the abode of secrets.

Occurrence.

Berne.-A remarkable spying feat
was executed by a Swiss citizen named
Luginbuhl. He succeeded in getting
paid from both sides, the French as
well as the Germans, receiving profit
able favors from both, and finally
landed in the meshes Of Swiss law.
Luginbuhl was one of twenty-one de-
PENDANTS in q celebrated espionage
case just concluded In a local court.
With one exception all were found
guilty, Including Luginbuhl. Sentence
was deferred.
Luginbuhl was anxious to buy wool
waste I'm France. He wanted to sell
It in Germany where he could get an
immense price for it. To get the wool
out Of France Luginbuhl had to obtain
permission from the French authori-
ties. He got into touch with French
agents and spies doing business in
Switzerland, who afterward were his
codefendants in the trial, and upon his
promise that he would make a trip
into Germany, find out certain things
the French spies were anxious to know
and report back, he would obtain per-
mission to take the wool out of France
To sell the wool in Germany Lugtn-
buhl made his trip into the kaiser's
domain, as promised, but he did more
than he had promised. He told Ger
man officials all about the deal he had
made with the French spies, where
upon the Germans were kind enough
to write a report which Luginbuhl took
back to Switzerland and handed over
to his French friends, who paid him
$500 for 1t. Luginbuhl at that time
already had in his pocket the hand
some profit he had made on the sale
of French wool in Germany. What

pathized with them and would hell
supply them with garden tools and fur
niture and to get work for them.
Reducing housekeeping to its very
lowest terms, the American Red Gross
delegates decided that each family
must have beds enough for everybody
a table, a chair apiece, a stove. some
thing to hold water and something to
cook in (there is a wonderful French
utensil called a 'fait-tout," In which
you can pretty nearly make every
thing), a fork apiece, a plate apiece,
and one knife for the family. These
furnishings are lent to the poorer fam.
lilies. Those who can pay, buy furni-
ture on a sublimated installment plan
$1.25 down and small payments ac-
cording to income every two weeks
until two-thirds of the cost price is
reached, when the furniture becomes
their own.
The delegates may be able to cure
the physical needs of the refugees, but
they have to contend always with the
terrible inconsistencies Of an uprooted
people. More than anything else in
the world, these homeless people want
to return to their own firesides; and
for the time being, that is tragically
impossible. They must be made as
contented as possible In their new
communities. Furniture offers one
means, gardens another, rabbits a
third. Many of the people have been
farmers on O small scale so that a
few feet of ground on which to raise
soup vegetables or potatoes makes
them inordinately happy. The village
Cross supplies tools and often seeds.
But rabbits are the browning glory.
They represent almost the only form
Of meat these people ever have; they

On grass gathered by the children; and
they multiply with pleasing rapidity.
Where it seems that a rabbit will be
specially appreciated, the delegate
gives money enough to buy 1t to the
mayor of the village and asks him to
do the purchasing. ~~sssfasr
