RECLAIM MANY SUNKEN SHIPS
Hundreds of Vessels in British Waters
Have Been saIvaged-PossibiIity
of Raising the Lusitania.

Most welcome is the announcement
from London that since January, 1915,
4O7 ships sunk by the Germans in
British waters have been salvaged !;
147 Of them, by improved methods, in
five months of the present year.
Britain's coast, like our own, is
edged by a broad belt of shallow wa
ter. For 200 miles of the channels
length no spot reaches a depth of 100
fathoms; much of 1t is quite shallow,
which accounts for the chop that makes
so many who cross it briefly unhappy.
From our own Norfolk one gets well
out of sight Of land before reaching
water too deep for salvage operations.
Depth increases more rapidly off the
Irish coast, but even the Lusitania
lies near the 50-fathom line, below the
shatter of the storm, yet near enough
the surface so that many practical
wreckers have said that it would be
possible, though exceedingly difficult,
to bring her forth to a nautical resur-
rection.
That some things can be done as
well as others our engineers showed
when they raised the U-boats' biggest
victim along our coast, the Herbert
Pratt, and brought her safe to shore.
What the improved methods" used off
England may be we shall probably not
know until after the war. That they
are cheating the murderous subma-
rines of their prey in so many cases is
good news.

APPEALED TO BOYS IN KHAKI
FIirtatious Damseis Had No Chance
When Busy Little Knitter APP

Two girls travelling on a train

school teacher, had they been wise

they munched candy, read magazines,
played rhum and tried in every way
they could to attract the attention of
two uniformed young men near them
but ali ira vain.
The little school teacher, who was
on her way to attend a county insti-
tute, got on the train at little country
town. Shyly she entered the car, quiet

girls, who were rather noisy in their
efforts to gain notice, and Immediately
after she was settled she began to fin

IndustriOusly she worked-so intent
on her work that she noticed no one.
But the people noticed her and ap-
preciated her zeal and the quality of
her patriotism. They smiled whenever
they passed her seat and proffered her
the loan of their papers and books.
And before many miles had been trav-
eled one of the khaki-clad youths was
beside her and the other one opposite.
The sweater had been examined, the
process of making it explained to the
youths, and now they were telling the
little teacher camp stories.
The two girls giggled and remarked
about "some peoples tastes" because

EXPLORERS WORK IN AFRICA
Frenchman Sheds Light on Vast Re-

Commandant Tilho, the well-known
French explorer o. the Sudan, has re-
Gently published a report on the re-
suits Of five years work during 1927
In the hitherto unknown region lying
along the frontier between the French
Sahara and the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
Tilho was entrusted with the task of
pacifying and organizing this region
under the French government; and his
surveys embrace a stretch of previous
ly uneXplored country extending more
than LOO miles from the center Of
Tibesti southeast to the vicinity of Ell

work fills up large blank in the map
of Africa. He urges the need of a

ject to periodical famines. 1t is stated
that from one-half to three-fourths of
the inhabitants of northern Wadai
died of famine in 1914. One especially
interesting result of his investigations
is the disproof of the hypothesis, sup
ported by his earlier explorations, that
there is a connection between Lake
Chad and the Nile river system. Tilho

RISK LIVES TO CATCH FISH
Indian Boys Get Rich Harvest From
Breaking Waves Off the Coast
of Washington.

Even the lads of nine and twelve
years at the old Indian settlement of
La Push, nesting behind the pinnacle
rocks that rise out of the Pacific ocean
off the mouth Of the Quillayute river
in Washington, are doing their share
toward winning the war; The lads,
half dressed, dash across the beach
to meet the incoming tide, wade into
the water and wait for the waves to
break with fish. AS the cOmbers break
the lads dash into the boiling surf
and rake the ocean for fish FIRE.
Quently the waves dash over the boys
heads. but they never lose their foot
ing and the danger of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets.
During the day the Indians at La
Push village average fully a ton of
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work is done, but 1t is the boys
task to capture the fish.
With each tide thousands of smelt
are driven inshore. Each lift Of the
dip nets from the surf generally
brings a basketful Of fish.
Three of Quillayutes are now in
the military service. There are now
250 men, women and children in the
little settlement, but each is doing
his or her share with fishing, war
gardens and other activities to help
win the war.

Machinery of Business, at Present
Little Out of Order, Will Soon
Be Running Smoothly.

Now is the time for all good Ameri-
cans to be patient. 1t is true that the
times are out of joint. Nothing is done
the way it should be done, a plague of
incompetence is upon us, there has
been a general slowing down in all
bra lches of business and industrial life
and general lowering of the average
of social efficiency. But it is the war,
and we must have patience. Don't flare

utes to get your party on the tele-
phone, and then, like as not, it isn't
your party at all. You ought to be
thankful for any party.
And the elevators! And the clerks
They do not wait on you. You wait on
the clerks, oh, so long. And it is going
to be worse-for while. But it is
the war, and it is to be expected and

camp. Put they are being trained as
fast as possible and by and by the re-
cruits will be veterans, the times will
get back in joint, things will be done
the way they should be done, efficiency
will again reign, business and indus

well. In the meantime, while the cap

HOW VICTORY WILL BE WON
National Determination to Put Every
Ounce Of Strength Into Righteous
Cause Will Bring Triumph.

Suppose we send 10000 bombing air
planes over Germany. They alone will
not win the war. Ten thousand or
fifty thousand tanks alone will not win
the war. A thousand land battleships
or thousand other fearful land cruis-
ers alone will not win the war. Rain
Ing death and destruction upon the
civil population as a rule has only one
result: 1t inflames the people to
greater deeds, to greater sacrifices, to
greater hate, to greater determination
TO win tie war. France, England and
Italy are shining examples of this. No.
any one invention Is not likely to win
the war. Some day, perhaps, someone
VIII invent an atomic ray which is
capable of pulverizing whole regiments
at a stroke. Nothing of this sort is
impossible. But it is not very prob
able. Rather it is the whole-hearted
devotion of the noncombatants to n
great and just cause that will win the
war. The nation that can throw into
the scales the greatest amount of war
implements, the heaviest weight of
metal, the greatest amount of fighters.
coupled with prodigious use of all of
the best war inventions, will win in
the end-providing that every man and
woman behind the lines constantly
thinks and dreams of war and victory
and Is prepared to put every last ounce
OF strength as well as all worldly be-
iongings into the righteous cause with
out stint or restraint. The greatest
war Invention is the fiery, undying will
to win.-Electrical Experimental.

TRAVEL ACCORDING TO MAP
Airmen on Night Raids Have Course
Thoroughly Mapped Out Before
Beginning Their Journey.

Before leaving on a long-distance
night raid the airmen prepare their
maps with great care, marking on
them the detailed course from the air.
drOme to their objective.
By means of small balloon. whose
speed direction and height is recorded
by an instrument ON the ground, the
force and direction of the wind at diff
ferent attitudes is discovered and the
compass course, allowing for wind
drift, is marked beside the course on
the map. The compass course for the
return journey is also marked. The
speed of the machine is calculated, and
on the line of the course a series of
points is marked, showing where the
machine should be every ten minutes,
thus enabling the airman to check his
progress and to know his approximate
position If he gets lost.
He watches the country below for
landmarks. He sees by his map that
a river should appear in a few min
utes. His watch shows that he has
been flying 40 minutes, and near the
45-minute mark on his map is a twist
ed pale blue line. He looks ahead
and sees In the. moonlight a silver
streak and he knows he is making good
time. When he is over the river he
compares its outline with his map,
and sees that he is crossing it at the
right place.

PRUNE CONES INTO ITS owl
Has Won Official Recognition as Con-
lection Worthy of Being Served
to Fighting Men.

In the piping times of peace the
prune was the butt of cheap wits and
the bane of the boarder. Now when
the acid test of utility and palatabil-
ity is applied the despised prune steps
into the preferred class-at least on
the American army bill of fare. 1t
has won its way solely on its own
merit. The counts in its favor are
food value, tonic value and value as
confection. 1t nourishes, stimulates,
ana delights.
The surgeon general of the army
himself testifies to the loyal and help
full support Of the once belittled fruit.
He has added his recommendation to
the approving report of the subsist-
ence division. This report tells us that
out of the 1917 crop 100000 pounds
of prunes have been consumed by our
fighting men. Based on size fifty-fve,
which is the trade designation of the
average prune, the total number cen
sumed would be 1,10aOO0,0OG. Placed
side by side it is quite possible that
this total of prunes wouldn't reach
from the American trenches to Berlin,
but each prune, no doubt, is doing it's
best to help the Yankee fighters cover
the distance.
There would be q sort of poetical
justice in the circumstance if the
cheerful idiot and the other boarders
whose table wit fingered longest about
the patient prune could meet it over
there in Flanders and in Picardy and
find it honored and extolled as the
food of fighting men.

COOPERATION IN PALESTINE
Three Thousand Jews Have Success
fully Combined to Fight the
High Cost of Living.

1t is, therefore, with the keenest
pleasure that hear of the success of
an experiment on q small scale I'M
der war conditions in Palestine, Nor
man Hapgood writes in Leslie's. Since
1914 scarcity, disease, deprecated
currency, have combined to reduce the
Jewish workers almost to starvation.
During the war small group decided
to take the most immediate and effec-
tive step. About three years ago $50
workers formed a cooperative So
ciety in order to fight against the
rise il Lrices. Each worker contrib
uted 10 francs and with this capital
OF $500 francs the society began to
make its purchases. AS a result the
members of the society were able to
purchase four times cheaper than the
ordinary public. This cooperation so
ciety, "Mashbir," embraces at pres
ent about 5000 persons and has a
budget of $4,000 francs. Their first
year of business showed a profit. Dur
ing the second year robbery and
plumber by the Turks changed this
profit into loss. The third year has
now shown them again paying their
way. This society includes not only
workmen, but also teachers and clerks.
1t has applied to the commission for
a credit of 10000 francs and for au-
thorization for one of their group to
travel to Egypt to make purchases.
1t is, indeed, on small scale COM
pared with the business / cited on
July 6, but the lesson is the same:
The strongest single answer to the
cost of living lies in cooperation.

Hold fast. y
"Wh-what2''
Hold No Grudqe.

Time brings many changes. Take
for instance the fellows who volun-
teered their services when war was
declared and who have since been pro-
NOTED to be commissioned officers.
Some of these men toiled in shops and
offices and had to toe the mark for
clerks or foremen to get fired. Then
came the draft and these same clerks
and foremen became doughboys and
now take orders from their former Of
fee boys and employees. Some humor-
Gus stories have come to light from
the nearby environments, but let it be
said to the credit of the former Office
boys, they have not made life un-
bearable for their superiors, although
they have had the opportunity to do
so. AS an illustration of this the 9th
er day a doughboy was serving mess
to his top sergeant. As he did so he
spilled some dressing from the salad.
The sergeant noticed this and smiled.
"Just about a year ago I was serving
you with SOUP" said the sergeant, at the
same time mentioning the hotel where
he had worked as serving man, "and
you gave me the devil because it was
cold. I'm not going to kick because
you spilled the dressing. I'm going to
treat you right" And that is the gen.
eral spirit throughout the camps.

CLAIMS cENTURY-oLD FUND
Chilean Government Asks Return Of
Unexpended Portion of In
demnlty Paid in 1921.

The full bench of the Massachusetts
supreme court has been called upon
to determine the ownership of a fund
nearly century old, which is claimed
by the commonwealth of Massachu
sets on one hand and the Chilean gov,
eminent on the other.
In 1921 an American ship returning
from China to Boston was seized by
Chilean revolutionists and its cargo
confiscated. When normal conditions
prevailed in Chile the United States
demanded indemnity and Chile paid
$40, 400.
William Fl. Gardiner of Brookline
Mass, was selected to distribute the
money among those entitled to it. He
executed the trust except as to two
Chinese-known only as Paqua AMI
Moqua, merchants-and Thomas Fur
Der of Boston. Mr.. Gardiner failed to
locate these persons or their represen.
tatives. When he died the trust was
transmitted to his son, and upon the
latter's death to the grandson and
great-grandson, Robert II. Gardiner

There is something almost uncanny
about the accuracy with which Charles

a member of a peace society that a
