yesterday after his machine had fall
len into No Mans Land
The fight in which the Americans
machine was damaged took place
when five American pursuit machines
engaged with German aerial squad
ron while protecting a party of Brit
ish bombers who were returning
from raid early this morning.
Two of the enemy machines were
shot down and another was forced to
land out of control.
The Americans airplane came
down between the lines. He was i'm
mediately covered by German rifle
men and ordered to walk into the
enemy trenches, which he did with
his hands above his head.

1t has long been accepted as a
matter of course that the sins of the
fathers must be suffered by innocent
posterity, yet it is hard to become
reconciled to this condition. The
heritage of physical infirmity is d
handicap under which thousands
must face the battle of life.
Serofula is probably the most no
ticeable of the transmitted blood
disorders, though there are other
more severe diseases of the blood
that pass from one generation to
another. No matter what inherited
blood taint you may be laboring

budged an inch since they gained the
town. Every time the enemy artil-
lery starts bombardment, the
American guns retaliate and smoth-
er the opposition fire.
German airmen, flying at great
height, penetrated many miles to the
rear of the American lines to-day.
They were driven off by anti-aircraft
guns and were unable to drop any
bombs.

and then came back to the surface.
One of the garbies was telling me
later on that this same sub had gone
out of control a few weeks before
and kept diving and diving until she
struck bottom. l do not know how
many fathoms down it was, but It was
farther than any commander would
take a sub If he could help It. This
garby said they could hear the plates
cracking and it was a wonder that
they did not crumple up from the
pressure, but she weathered 1t, pres

submerged again, and soon, over the
horizon came eight battleships, es-
corted by Zepps and d~estroyers.
They tested their tubes before they
got IN range. Finally they let go. The
first shot missed, but after that they
got into it good and the garby said all
YOU could hear was the knocking of
the detOnated guncotton.
About five minutes later they sight

and n dead ahead. The sub steered
in at right angle zigzags and the de-
stroyers stayed with their convoy. The
sub launched two torpedoes at less
than a mile before diving. to get away
from the destroyers and the garby
said at least n of them was hit.
These ships must have been some
of the lucky ones that came down
from the North sea. The garby said
he thought they were eff the Dutch
coast at the time, but he was not
sure.
But this cruise that I was on was
only a practice cruise and we did moi
meet with any excitement in the-short
time that we were out.

CHAPTER XII.
Action at the DardanelIes.

I made twelve trips to the Darda-
nelles IN all, the Cassard acting gen
orally as convoy to troop ships, but
one trip was much like another. and
l cannot remember all the details, so
l will give only certain incidents Of
the voyages that you might find inter
esting. We neve put into the Darda-
nelles without being under fire-but
besides saying so, what is there to
write about in that? 1t was interest
ing enough at the time, though, you
can take ii from me!
Coming up to "V'' beach on our
third trip to the Dardanelles, the
weather was as nasty as any l have
ever seen. The rain was sweeping
along in sheets-great big drops, and
driven by the wind in regular volleys.
You could see the wind coming, by the
line of white against a swell where
the drops hit.
As we rounded the point, the seas
got chopper, and there were cross
currents bucking the ship from every
angle, it seemed. You could not see
two hundred yards away, the rain

trawlers to go in and sweep up. They
had to go UP unprotected, of course,
and they started off one night all
serene.
Everything went well until they
turned at the Narrovs and started
back. Then, before you could tell 1t,
five or six searchlights were playing
on n of the trawlers and shells
were splashing the water all over her.
Both banks were simply banging away
point blank at them and l never
thought they would get back.
They did get back, slough, but
some of them had hardly enough men
left to work ship. But that is like
the Limeys. They will get back from
anywhere while there is one man
alive.
A chap aboard one Of the trawlers
said a shell went through the wheel
house between the q-uartermaster and
himself and all the Q. NJ. said was.

But l Know their shooting was

end of the wave was just passing over
the place where the garbies had been,
and the otflcer was shouting, "Un

the man really was overheard. because
he saw that the wave would get him.
l rushed back to the port bow and
looked back, for the wave had carried
him clear across the decks, and saw
the poor lad in the water, trying to
fend himself off from the ships side.
But it was no go, and the port pro-
peller blades juSt carved him into bits.

We were lucky getting inshore, only

Billy On High Rent.

The rent boosters are doing
all in their power to pick the
pockets of clerks and others who
come to Washington to help the
Government in its great work
of winning the war.
If you can excuse the attitude
of such people you've got me
beat.
Washington has any city in
the country topped when it
comes to the high cost of living.
It's got any town I've ever been
: in skinned forty ways.
It's entirely beyond me how
some clerks in the employ Of the
Government squeeze through
with the cost Of living the way
it is. And another thing / can't
figure out is why some people in
Washington can't get out and
help along others who come here
to help Uncle Sam win the war
instead of picking out Of their
pockets what little they've got.
Rooms that rented q short
time ago for $40 a month now
bring $40. And there's no more
heat or light thrown into the
bargain than there ever was
it's got my goat, that's all.
There is no difference between
people who rob the defenseless
and the highwsyman with his
gun
