At a flag signal from the destroyer
the port foremost trawler and the star
board after one clipped a small red
tin of high explosive to the bar-taut
wire, and allowed it to slide down till
it touched the U-boat's hull.
1t was the seaplane's turn to wave a
flag, and Immediately there followed
the fall Of two fists upon two firing
keys; the uprising of two gray mounds
Of water and a rumbling, muffled ex-
plosion.
The seaplane clrcled twice above
the patch Of rising oil, ascertained
that Fritz had been destroyed, and
notified the destroyer. Then, with her
observer slipping a drum of cartridges
into his machine gun, she sped on after
those objects bobbing down tide.

men with the Red Cross on their arms.
They all worked like dogs in that hell
out there. They seemed to have but
one ldea--to do their duty-and appar-
emily cared nothing for their own lives
while doing 1t. They were game right
to the core"
In this connection 1t may be said
that there are certain number Of
men who wear the Red Cross whose
names are on the casualty list. If any
one has thought that a Red Cross
worker goes out on battlefield only af-
ter the firing has ceased and brings in
the wounded, this statement by a sol
der will correct the wrong impression.
Stretcher-bearers work under fire-and
the Germans have not hesitated to fire
upon Red Cross workers.
The knowledge that the Red Cross
workers will be at his side almost as
quickly as he falls wounded, to take
him to the first-aid station and subse-
quently to the ,hoSpitals. has given
great comfort to the American troops,

Up-ViVid Description by
English Writer.

London.--One of the methods by
which, as the first sea lord, Sir Eric
Geddes said recently, the submarine
menace is being "held," is wildly de-
scribed by a writer in the Liverpool
Journal of Commerce.
A seaplane had spotted" a subma-
rlne lying on the sea bed. Instantly
the observers finger commenced to
tap a key. Ten miles away long,
lean destroyer and four squat trawlers
detached themselves like pack of
hounds working a covert, and FASTENED
to the kill. Meanwhile the seaplane
circled around. When the surface
ships arrived, her instructions, deliv-
cred by wireless, we're curt and pre-
else.
Acting upon them the trawlers sta
TONED themselves at the four corners
of a wet quadrangle, while the de-
stroyer kept her guns ready to talk to
Fritz should he appear above the sur
face.
The trawlers at the corners got out
their sweeps--long wire hawsers, with
heavy kite" in the center to keep
their blghts down on the seabed-and
commenced to steam toward each
other.
AS the pairs Of vessels met, their
wires simultaneously engaged them
selves under the U-boat's bow and
stern, and commenced to work their
sinuous way between her hull and the
sea bottom.
Then the strange thing happened.
Two round, black objects seemed to
detach themselves from her hull and
float surfaceward, to hover a second
and then to commence bobbing down
the tide.
