A CLUB FOR THE
SERVICE

Since the opening. more than
20, 900 soldiers and sailors have
used the National Service Club
No. |. The club occupies three
story building at Thirty-third
Street and Seventh Avenue, d.
rectly opposite the Pennsylvania
Station. The ground floor has
large living room, in which peri
odicals and writing paper are to
be found. At the rear of the
living room is canteen run by
volunteers of the National
League for Women Service. In
the canteen light meals and sup
plies are sold practically at cost.
A limited number of sleeping
rooms are on the upper floors
and these are rented for fifty
cents night. The club. anxious
to help the men in every way
possible. is an information
bureau for men in the service and
there is some one there to tell all
sorts of things-from how to find
the Stock Exchange to the loca-
ton of the nearest Baptist
Church. The National Service
Club No. | is entirely supported
by voluntary contributions from
members Of the Harvard Club of
New York.

!. s. FLYERS IN
DARING ESCAPE

O~utnumbered at the start, the Amer.
lean chasers were soon In even worse
positions and the plane of Ensign Jo-
hansen, after a short flight, was cor
PEELED to retire. His gun jammed, and
as far as fighting was concerned the
battle was over for him.
Meanwhile Ensign Ludlow, who had
engaged two enemy machines single
handed, had apparently perforated the
radiator of one of his opponents ma
chimes, and this Albatross pulled out Of
the fight. Another Albatross closed In.
Ludlow's right magnetic was shot off,
his propeller was struck and apparent.
ly splintered and the engine crank case
was hit.
While he stuck to the fight his motor
caught fire In the air. He set off and
began q deliberate nose spin. This
maneuver put out the flames just be-
fore they could reach the gasoline tank
or wings. Strengthening, he landed on
the water five miles from Pola.
Quartermaster Charles Hannah,
seeing that Ludlow had descended in
close proximity to Pola, simulated q
disaster Of his own. Hannah went
down in q nose dive, permitting his
assailants to conclude he had been put
out Of action, but at the end Of the
dive he Strengthened out and maneuv.
cred his plane to within hailing dis.
lance Of Ludlow.
SInks Plane, Then Escapes.
Ludlow at once opened the camera
slot In the bottom of the boat In order
to fill 1t with water, at the same time
kicking holes In the side and slashing
the cover Off the wings. Then, as Ham
man brought the plane closer, Ludlow
cast himself adrift from the sinking
plane and swan through the choppy
SEE to his companion. Hamman fired
into the wrecked plane a hundred
rounds from his machine gun, assur-
ing Its sinking, and then turned to the
rescue Of his superior officer.
The carrying capacity of a chaser
machine does not permit the transport
of passengers. especially when the
planes are loaded with shot holes.
Ludlow could merely hang on, lying
flat under the engine. This so altered
the balance Of the machine that there
was doubt about Its getting off the wa
ter. The power was turned on, but
the dangerous. choppy e were sew
eral feet high, and at the first attempt
to rise Hamman smashed the bow Of
his boat. He kept on and In a mo-
ment cleared the water.
Once safe In the air he headed for
the Adriattc seaplane station. All this
time there had been the possibility Of
his being attacked, both from the air
by the Albatross and from Pola. where
the gallant rescue Of his commander
must have been easily visible.

Work Of Destroyer.
Turning now to your ~destroyers, I
know that you all appreciate what de-
mands the present conditions of sea
warfare impose upon this type of craft.
Day and night, winter and summer,
they seour the seas, either hunting the
submarine or keeping a careful watch
over the valuable human lives, equip
ment and transports intrusted to their
care to escort. l have both travelled
in and been escorted by American de-
stroyers, and l know their high stand
ard. They are an essential part Of the
fighting strength Of the feet, and, to-
gether with the cruisers, they are the
~watchdogs Of the allied trade and
h terror Of the U-boat.
1t will convey some idea Of the
strain imposed upon the vessels and
their crews when l tell you that each
American destroyer In European wa
ters steams between 1000 and 5000
miles a month. For hard work, con
slant vigilance, and perpetual discom-
fort this record Is hard to beat even
in this great war of universal strain
and hardship.
What l have said Of the destroyers
applies In no less degree to your sub
marines and your chasers. Their I'M
firing and constant harassing Of the
enemy has helped to bring the enemy
submarine to it's present position In
which we can confidently say that 1t Is
now held, though not yet mastered. /

TRANS why America is fighting.
A patrol composed of fast machines
and chasers started from this station

operation involved a flight Of about an
hour. Arriving at Pola, they encoun.
tered q strong. patrol Of five enemy
land machines which considerably out.
numbered and heavily outgunned the
Americans.
The American light planes were at
an altitude Of $500 meters when the
enemy was sighted. The decision to
attack was made at once, and the sig.
nal was given to the chaser machines
to drop to a lower altitude and engage
the enemy. The heavier and slower,
American machines were ordered to
escape.

would be the portion probably Of the
larger German cities did they not in
crease their scanty stores through
illegal trading" Deputy Won Herr
sberg-Lottum said in q food debate in
the Prussian lower house, according
to the Berlin Tageblatt.
"The larger cities Of Germany are
obtaining one-quarter of their neces-
sary stock Of foodstuffs through illegal
trading without that they would
starve," the deputy asserted.
1.-The increasing severity OF penal
ties heighten the risk Of indulging in
secret trading and, raises prices" he
continued. There are now 100000
persons employed by the war food
administration and that under the
circumstances we deliver 30 eggs per
year per person is really no heroic
deed"
Other speakers told of pitiable con-
ditions in Austria-Hungary. Count
Stolberg said: s~.
II have seen now in Austria that
the rich man has everything. the poor
man nothing. It is q pity to see how
the poor people there are suffering
from hunger. In comparison to con-
ditions there things in our country are
much better" I.
"In Budapest in rich Hungary, the
, poor wait in line all night for the 80
gram fat ration, and then they don't
receive it. Major Koch of Cassel
said.
The illegal tor secret : trading re-

prohibits scGnsumers from paying
more than that price. German off,
