The Lake Moor carried a complement

Lieut.. Pulaski was with the ship from
the time it was launched at Duluth in
December, 1917, until he was thrown
into the ocean by the explosion of the
German torpedo four months later.
1.-The Lake Moor was torpedoed at
1920 at night and sank two minutes
later" he said. when she went down

the surface by the suction. Some one
had succeeded in lowering 0life raft.
and on coming to the surface grasped
the raft. Eight others were aboard
her including the captain.
All about US we could hear cries
piteo1s cries from those who were
drowning. About a mile away through
the murk and obscurity we could see
the outline of the U-boat. How We
cursed those inhuman devils!
I'VE floated about for two hours and
then it was discovered that two Of our
party were dead. We slid their bodies
into the ocean, and as they were sucked
away some of us sang Nearer. My God,

GAINING ON THE U-BOATS.

For several months in its official reports
the British Admiralty has furnished proofs
Of the continuous decline IN shipping losses
due to boats. The figures have been re-
assuring Now Sir Ere Geddes announces
instead of los ng tonnage, during the last
0Ilartpr there has been net gam of l00,-
900 tons a month.
The first problem that the Allies faced
Was To check the operations OF the sub
marines and reduce their effectiveness
But the naval forces at lest could only
stabilize the losses by meeting he C-boats
at their own game and destroying them
The one way to recover lost ground was 10
put the production of the shp-yards
ahead Of the destruction by U-boats
That point has now been reached Great
Britain has been hampered by the neces-
slty Of concentrating its efforts chiefly
uDon new naval construction and mer-
cLant-ship repairs. The United States
was compelled first to enlarge and create
ship-build ng plants in order to utilize its
resources in man-power and materials.
1t is now rapidly making its strength felt.
Merely at the rate Of progress maintain
ed during the last quarter the Allies and
ncutrals by next April would be nearly
900 900 tons ahead Of where they are
today They are sure to do far better
as this country gets into its stride. To
the end Of the war the U-boats will be a
serious menace to shipping, but already
their destructive power has been neutral
ized, and as new construction increases
they will be defnitlvcly beaten. The time
is gone when they could be made to serve
as decisive factor in the war.-New
