London.-The following, from the
Daily Telegraph, is story Of unusual
heroism and the winning of a Victoria
Cross:
''In the speech in which he proposed
that the thanks Of parliament be &C
corded to the nations heroes, the prime
minister spoke In glowing terms Of the

the house to cheers as he told OF
trawler skipper who, with both legs
shot or and most Of his crew killed or
injured, refused to haul down the flag,
gave the order, Throw the confidential
books overheard, and throw me after
them, and went down with his trawler.
The story thrilled the whole country
and now, In a special supplement to the
London Gazette, comes the sequel. 1t
is announced that posthumous grant
of the Victoria Cross has been made to
Skipper Thomas Crisp, r. N. r., 10,065,

Submarine Is Sighted.
"Dn an August afternoon, at about a
quarter to three, the trawl was shot
from the smack Nelson. The skipper
was below packing fish; one hand was
on deck cleaning fish for the next
mornings breakfast. Coming on deck,
Mr.. Crisp saw an object on the hort
zon, examined 1t closely and sent for
HIS glasses. Almost directly he sang
out. Clear for action. Submarine He
had scarcely spoken when shot fell
about a hundred yards away on the
port bow. The motorman got to his
motor; the deckhand dropped his fish
and went to the ammunition room |;
while the other hands, at the shippers
orders, Let go your gear let go the
warp, and put a dan on the end of 1t.
Meanwhile the gunlayer held his
fire, until the skipper said, 1t is no use
waiting any longer, we will have to let
them have it. From the distance the
submarine sent shell after shell at the
smack, and at the fourth shot the shell
went through the port bow just below
the waterline.
"There was no confusion on board,
not even when the seventh shell struck
the skipper, passed through his side,
through the deck and out through the
side Of the ship. The second hand at
once took charge of the tiller and the
firing continued. All the time water
was pouring into the ship and she was

to the skipper to see If he could render
first aid. but 1t was obvious that he was

GERMANY UNDER PROHIBITION.

The German army was practically
modified under prohibition, Miss Mar
garet Wintringer tells In the Union
Signal. Germany actually clambered
over the wheels of the water wagon,
she says, by reviving the law of the
state of seige enacted In 1851. For
an unheard Of six weeks even beer was
under taboo in all German villages.
And to these six weeks Germany owes
her initial success in the war. But
ere firmly seated she fell off the wa
ter wagon. In October the law Of the
State of Siege was lifted and there fol-
lowed the wretched village orgies, and
the atrocities In Belgium which have
forever bIackened Germanys escuteh-

1t must be explained that practically
every man In the French army who

here was an American major general

The Frenchman, who wore medals
for valor and stripes showing he had
thrice been wounded, had evidently
consumed a goodly quantity Of his
country's wine. Afterward we learned
that it was his first day out of hos

account of his experiences, delivered
in very good English, which he said
he had learned during trip through

General Billiard listened smilingly
and kept right on smiling even when
the Poilu clapped him on the back and
called him his "slde partner" and In.
vited him TO have drink.

LABOR TAKEN
f. OVER TODAY
Employers will be Asked to
Send Non-essential Help
to Harvest Fields.

Washington, August IDeRecruiting
Of unskilled labor was taken over BY
the federal government today as a
war under an agency Of the
department Of labor designated as the
United States employment service.
Shortages of unskilled labor, reported
from many sections OF the country are
expected to be alleviated by the plan
put into operation whereby non-essen-
tial industries will be. required to, con-
tribute certain quotas Of labor for the
industries engaged in war work.
Through the operation of the sys-
tenn Of government recruiting it is be-
lieved unnecessary movement of
labor from community to community
and from industry to industry will be
obviated and wages will be stabilized.
The employment service of which
John B. Densmore has been named
director general. will work through
state boards which in urn will control
labor through community boards.
AS effective today government re-
.cruiting will apply only to unskilled
labor. Regulations are being formu-
lated whereby it will be possible to
extend the system to the recruiting of
skilled labor. All private agencies for
the recruiting Of labor are prohibited,
The understanding, cooperation
and good will of the American people
are called on to aid in making the
system a success by Secretary Wilson
