THIRTEEN DAYS IN OPEN BOAT
Iowa Boy Has War Experience Which
He Will Never FORGET.

Des Moines, Feb. 6.-Few Iowa boys
will bring back from the war more
narrowing tale Of hardships than Cox
swain Ralph Bailey, Of Davis City.
This young Decatur county boy was
on the Actaeon when she was tor
pedoed by German submarine in mid
ocean. He commanded one of the life
boats in which portion of the crew
drifted on the Atlantic for thirteen
days With only crackers and water as
rations. -
Powerless to aid, he saw three of
his crew die in the boat of privatiofl
and exposure. When one days supply
Of water remained they sighted a light
house on the coast Of Spain and pulled
for 1t with their waning strength, land
ing completely exhausted.
In the following letter to his mother,
Mrs. w. T. Bailey. Of Davis City, the
sailor boy who enlisted in Des Moines
in August, 1915, tells his story:
Faro Villano. Spain, Dec. 30, 1917
Dearest Mother: suppose you have
heard that I was missing from the ship
after she was torepdoed. but am
O. X. now and not much the worse for
tho experience. The people who were
in my boat are all sick, but myself and
a couple Of others.
1--WE were torpedoed on the cath
(November) about 7:15 in the evening.
I landed about a. m. on the 9Th ODE
cember) at the lighthouse.
Three OF my crew died while we
were out and 1t sure makes me feel
blue. You know. had charge Of the
boat and 1t was the only one which
lost anybody. We were all helpless
when 1t came to helping them. Just
had to sit there and watch them die.
1.-The only thing we had to eat was
crackers. 7 gave each man two; crack
ers three times a day and one-half
cup Of water once a day. I had about
one more days ration Of water when
we landed. About two more days and
we would have all been dead. So you
see we were lucky we saw that light
when we did. We sighted land about
o'clock in the afternoon and started to
pull for it and pulled all ,hat night.
We only had four oars and were SO
weak that we could hardly make the
boat move. guess We pulled about
thirty miles that night.
when we landed they were 80 weak
they could hardly climb up the hal.
and ono other had to carry an old engi-
neer up the HILL ne was so weak.
Il think we will stay here for few
days until everybody gets we'll. then
we will 60 to Corunia where we will

The note to Brazil, which was the
most significant. says that tho Argen-
tine government has followed all the
phases OF tho causes which led to this
"tust revolution" and closes with an
expression OF homage to the Brazilian
nation.
These notes and the simultaneous r..
call OF the military attaches from Ber-

Ing that the country Is verging on q
crisis IN its international relations. It

MISS LUSK BRANDS
DR.. ROBERTS LIAR
Challenges Statements as He Testi-
hes in Waukesha Court.

Waukesha, Wis. May 17.-Dr.
David A. Robetrs. for love of whom
Miss Grace Lusk, killed Mrs. Mary
Newman Roberts. his wife, that the
offending point in the triangle
might be wiped out, today took the
stand and told the court and jury
that he had been sorely tempted by
the defendant. and that the fall had
not been greater than that OF Adam
in Eden's Garden.
She made me do it"
This phrase cryptically and calmly
uttered by tho former State Vet
erinarian. of Wisconsin, kept crop
ping out during an examination that
gave the doctor an altogether bad
day of it.
During the witness testimony,
Miss Lusk. pale. trembling and
visibly unnerved, leaped to her feet,
and branded DIR. Roberts a liar.
1t was at the point where Dr.
Roberts, under question, declared
that Miss Lusk once during their
prolonged relationship told him "a
woman likes to be loved and re-
spected and all of that. but she also
likes to be shown a good time. Why
don't you take me to Chicago, and
show me a good timer"

UPWARD STOCK TREND
FURTHER CHECKED
Conservative Warnings on Eve of
Great Battle Responsible.
BY BRoAnAN WALL.

New York. May l7.-wisdom and
strength Of the great powers that are
handling the stock market were DEM
onstrated today when the wild up
ward movement was checked still
further in response to warnings given
by military developments. Merchan-
tile Marine issues were the one ex-
citing feature OF the day. There was
reason for their excitement In nearly
every other issue liquidation on an
extensive scale was necessary to check
the market. The insiders regretted
to lose so much stock, for they are
stin sincere believers in a much high
er market later in the summer. They
would prefer to hold their stocks
but are sacrificing them now to prevent
a runaway market.
There must be no doubt In the pub
lie mind regarding the motive for
this selling. 1t is not due to alarm,
for there is complete confidence as to
the outcome of the renewed drive the
Germans are Just beginning. bat It
Is going to be a hard fight and mill
tary men expect that the Germans will
get their supreme punishment in this
particular battle. Those In charge Of
the market feel it would not be right
to let rampant upward movement
run without warning headlong into
the greatest battle of the world.
|, They feel that by checking the mar
ket now. serious break can be pre-
vented.
Transactions in Marines were heavy
today and were based on the unofii-
cial admission of directors that "the
deaf' is on again. This deal has been
on and on several times. This time
it is believed that there Is substan-
tial basis for believing that something
will be done.
