the following account of his eXpe-

The thing that struck me most
was the calm, businesslike way with
which our men took things. There

no panic, no fluster; merely bunch
of men getting themselves and 9TH

"Our men were in cabins along
four corridors, all opening into the
central stairway. There were bulk
head doors at each of these corri-
dors, and my one fear was that
these doors might be carelessly closed
before all the men behind them
were out. So l stood at the front
of the stairway and watched the
men file out L went through the

out and then shut the bulkhead

President Names Four
to Guide War Finances

Washington, April so. President
Wilson yesterday appointed four di-
rectors of the new $5o0,000.Oo0 war
finance corporation and a new capi-
tai issue committee provided for in
the war finance corporation act.
Directors of the corporation are
William P. G.. Harding, of Alabama
Allen b. Forbes. New York; Eugene
Meyer, Jr.. of New York; Angus w.
Mclean, of North Carolina.
The nominations, although they in
clude some members of the present
Federal Reserve Board, have not met
with general approval. In fact. some
Senator's instrumental in passing the
legislation expressed themselves as
bitterly disappointed by the selec-
tions as a whole and at a loss to un-
derStand why men of larger calibre
and more strictly representative o.

they had done a dozen times in our
drills aboardship.
Dull Tkud Gives Warming
The sound was exactly as L had
seen it described many times in the
newspapers-a dull thud as the to-
pedo struck the outside shell of the
ship and then a muffled explosion
somewhere far down below.
Il lay in bunk with my clothes
on, but l got out Immediately and
stood at my station at the foot OF
the staircase. Soon after I got
there 1 heard the sound of another
explosion which was accompanied
by the going out of all lights.
when all the men had got on
deck l went up and climbed into
No. 1 lifeboat whence l watched
the orderly procedure aboard the
other boats up and down the whole
length of the ship. My boat was
the last one to get away except No. 8
which had little trouble with the
ropes.
1t was a wonderfully calm night
and the ships headway did not
bother us much. as the engineer had
been able to reverse the engines be-
fore the boilers went put of COM
mission and the ship was barely
moving by the time the boats were
lowered.
Parts With Typewriter
"One of our men named Gurney
who comes from Providence, Rhode
Island. tried hard to save his type
writer. He got it as far as the
deck but was not allowed to take il
into the lifeboat. He said he had
heard typewriters were very scarce
now in England and he was not
going to part with it unless such a
course were necessary.
Sam Downer, of Downer, New
Jersey, had his camera with him
and tried to take a picture of the
flares and ships by moonlight from
the lifeboat.
ALMOST all our men brought their
overcoats off the ship, but few more
things. as they mostly went to the
members of the crew, who generally
came away in their shirts
