CHAPTER XIV.
10 suls ,elesse.

As usual, when we got to Brest there
was rush work day and night on the
Cassard to get her out and supplies Of
all kinds were loaded for our next
visit to the Turks. The French gar
bies were always keen for the trip
back to Brest-they were sure of load
ing up on tobacco and other things
they needed.
My twelfth trip to the Dardanelles
was different from the others. The
Cassard was doing patrol work at the
time in the. neighborhood Of Cape
Helles. Those Of US who had served
on the Peninsula before were thank
ing our stars for the snap we were
having GUST cruising around waiting
for something to happen.
We had not been there very long be-
fore something unexpected did happen,
for we ran into two enemy cruisers
which I afterwards heard were the
VERT and Kaiserliche Marine-one on
the starboard and one on the port.
How they had managed tosspeak up
SO near us I do not know. Y They
opened up on us at not much more
than q thousand yards and gave us a
hot time from the start, though with
any kind Of gunnery they should have
done for Us thoroughly.
We came right back at them and
were getting in some pretty good shots.

board bow-my old hangout--aDd we
were letting them have it about four
shots every five minutes and scoring
heavily.
/ do not know how long we had been
fighting when part Of our range finder
was carried away. It was 90 hot,
though. and we were 80 hard ct It that
such a little thing like that did not
bother us. It is hot in any gun turret,
but I have always noticed that It Is
hotter there In the Dardanelles than
in any other place. The sweat would
simply cake up on Us, until our faces
were Just covered with Aim OF DOW

CHAPTER xlv-contlnued.

& j. -
When I looked around saw that
our real position was to the right Of
where the artillery was, and that there
were three lines Of trenches with
Arench infantry in them. So tho
&renches I had come from were more.
like outposts than anything else, and
were cut of. I felt pretty sure, then.
that the boys in them would never
come back alive, because as soon as
their fire let up the Turks would ad-
vance, and to keep them hack our guns
would have to wipe out our men, and
II they did not, the Turks would. At
FIRST ] was glad I had come out, but
then remembered what the artillery
Officer had said and I figured would
have to 60 back and stay with them
or bring them back. Either way there
was not one chance In a hundred that
any OF us would make 1t. Because
when I got through 1t was really Just
g miracle and nobody would have
thought It could happen.
Then the officer told me to 60 back
TO the beach, where our naval guns
were. and thet / was detailed to them:
Maybe you tie not think I was glad1
But there was rough work still ahead
OF me. because when I got behind the
tasrd line I saw wide open field that
was light gray from. the shell smoke
hanging over It, and could see the
flashes where the big ones were doing
their work, and I had to 60 through
that field. ~
I fell time and again, sometimes
when I thought shell was near, and
sometimes when I had no reason for

Dish. do not remember hardly any
thing about going through that field,
and you might say the next thing I
knew was when I was overtaken by
. dispatch runner, and got in a tin
tub at the side Of a motorcycle and
was taken to the guns. e
I felt ready for Rip Van Wrinkle
nap then, but the officer in command
would not let me. He said they were
short Of gunners-the terrific Smelling
had killed OF dozens Of them-and as
he knew could point a gun he had
ordered them over the telephone to

Two men In the launch was in were
wounded. But we did not pay any
attention to that shelling-the Turks
might Just as well have been blowing
peas at us through soda straw for
all we cared.
I noticed that when we came near
the Cassard the other bqats held up
and let our launch get into the lead,
and that we circled around the Cas-
sard's bows and came up on the star
board side, which was unusual. But
I did not think anything Of It until
came over the side. There Were. the
side boys lined up, AID the Old Man
was there, with the ships steward
beside him.
He took the log book from the stew
ard and showed 1t to me, and there
fwas my name on 1t. Now when you
are punished for anything you are
logged, but could not figure out what
I had done to get punished for. SO I
was very much surprised. NBut the
Old Man slapped me on the back and
everybody cheered, and. then I saw. it
was not punishment, but Just the. op-

SEES AGREEMENT
WITH MR.. WILSON
German Paper Says There Are
No Differences Between

AMSTERDAM. February 2S.-Chan-
cellor Won Hertling's denial of any in
tention by Germany to establish her
self in Esthonia and Livonia, says the
Frankfurter Zeitung. excludes misun-
derstanding. 1t adds:
1T must now be assumed that there
is no fundamental difference of opin-
lon between the chancellor and Presi-
dent Wilson and peace discussion
based on President Wilson's principle
might begin Immediately. 1t is i'm
portant. however, for the President to
induce his allies to recognize his prin-
ciples. AS they seem to be hopelessly
entangled in their own plans while
President Wilson himself is not free
and a league of nations is not in ex
istence to offer mediation, there is
slight hope that the chancellors ap-
peal will introduce general peace"

I'VE fought for the defense of the
fatherland against barbarism and
against the entente's plans Of conquest
We did not, however, fight for the dis

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 25.- The state department today received a brief message from American Con- sul Treadwell at Petrograd stating that that city would probably be in German hands within twenty-four hours. He also advised that virtual. ly all Americans have left the city The dispatch was dated last Wed nesday.
 In the absence of later informa. tion there is some reason to believe that the Germans have already oc. cupied the city. It is practically certain that the Germans are en countering no opposition in their march against the former Russian capital and can if they wish enter without difficulty.
 Dispatches received here last week indicated that the Germans, how. ever, had abandoned their advance against Petrograd and were converg ing upon Moscow from three direc tions. There is some uncertainty over the situation as it stands today

JAPANESE WILL NOT INTERVENE,
 SAYS PREMIER
Associated Press)

 LONDON. Mar. 25,-Count Te. rauchi. the Japanese premier. in an address before the Japanese house of peers. declared that Japan has no intention of intervening in Si. beria at this time. He further in- formed the peers that the Japanese government is not even studying the possibility of such a step.
 According to Premier Terauchi. the Japanese government does not con slider that the allied nor the Japanese interests in Siberia are menaced in any way by the signing of the Teu- ton peace terms by the Bolsheviki government and is keeping its hands of Russia.
 The assertions of the premier were received by the British press and public with considerable sur prise. as there has been numerous seemingly authentic reports that Ja. pan had not only given the matter serious attention but was prepared to move at any time that 1t might become necessary. No explanation has been assigned for the apparent change in Japanese attitude.

GRAIN OFFERED IN RETURN FOR
 SHIPS REFUSED
tAssOciated Press1


 LONDON, Mar 25.-Dispatches re- ceived from The Hague declare that The Netherlands government today decided to refuse the offers of the associated governments to supply Holland with large amount of wheat in return for the Dutch ships which are in allied and American ports. This refusal is not entirely unexpected. and will not alter the program of the United States and England in taking the vessels over
 The refusal of Holland is prob ably caused by the attitude taken by the German government, which threat ened to make war upon The Meth. erlands if 1t should accept the of fers of the associated governments, and which has been using every in. fluence which 1t possesses to force the government to refuse.
 In the meantime both Great Brit. ain and the United States have taken possession of the vessels, to the amount of approximately 100000 tons. and are rapidly placing them in commission for transatlantic shipping service.

 WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. 25.- 'The allied military experts are as 8 unit in their confidence that the German offensive which is now un- der way will fall to the ground and the allied lines remain unbroken," said Major General Leonard Wood. who has just reached this city on his return from lengthy visit to the French front. He declared also that he was of the same opinion, and that he was sure that the Ger. mans would be unable to pierce the British defensive system.
 General Wood was strong in his praise of the preparations which the allies have made to withstand the great German drive. and states that the entente leaders were fully in. formed regarding the German dispo sition of troops and were meeting this disposition in the best manner possible.
 He was highly pleased with the conditions which prevail among the American forces and with the spirit and physical condition of the men themselves. General Pershing, he de clared. has under him one of the finest bodies of men ever enrolled in war. The Americans. he said are giving a good account of them selves and are winning much renown in France for their fighting abilities
 General Wood will be in this city for several days. There are rumors that he will be relieved permanently from Camp Funston, where he has been in command for several months and be given an important assign ment in Washington. These rumors cannot be confirmed. He has al most entirely recovered from the wounds which he received in France from bursting gun while it was being tested.

 The s3,000,0O0,O00 is believed to be the minimum amount set by the department. as the secretary an. nounced that all oversubscriptions will be accepted. The above named sum is much smaller than 1t has been thought the government would be compelled to ask for, and very few financial experts in their fore. casts have placed the third loan at less than $5.O0O. 100000. while most of them have theoretically set it at $7.500. 100000.

GERMAN U-B0AT
 FLIES TO SPAIN

FL PERROLL, Spain. Mar. 25.-A 410-ton German submarine sought refuge at this port late this evening and the captain of the undersea craft made an urgent appeal for ad. mission, saying that his vessel had been severely damaged in a fight with three ships. The submarine carries two eleven-centimeter guns and a crew of thirty men.
 Acting upon order from the naval ministry. local port officials admitted the war vessel. which is being held in internment. On account of the escape of two German submarines earlier in the war. the Spanish gov ernment Is rushing a number of warships here to guard the belliger- ent vessel and prevent any effort on its part to put to sea again.
