THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
And there were in the country shepheros ao'ons
in the field keeping watch over their focks. , L.,
And TO- the angel of the Lord came upon then ara te
orv of the Lord sone round about hem and they were

babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in manger. .
And suddenly there with the angel multitude OIL
heavenly hosts praising God, and saying, ~
Glory to God in the highest and earth peace, good Will
toward men. - ~
And it came to pass as the angels were gone away
from them into Heaven the shepherds said one to anone
Let us now go even Bethlehem and see this thing Whch
is come to pass which the Lord hath made known unto u.s.
And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph
and the babe lying in manger ,,
And when they had seen it, they made known ABROAD
the saving which told them concerning the child
And all they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the Shepherds
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them IN
her heart. ~.
And the shepherds returned, clarifying God for all the
things that they had heard and seen as was told u'o

way they were just bringing the other
ships skipper aboard. 1t was the
French collier st. Theodore, hove to
off the %starboard side with a prize
crew from the Moewe aboard and wig
wagging to the raider.
Then the Huns began shouting and
they rousted us below deck again. The
place where we had been was filed
with smoke, from what or why / do
not know, but 1t was almost impos-
sible to breathe in it. When the
smoke cleared up a bit the Marathon
started again, for we were still in u
underwear only. One of the boys had
asked Fritz for clothing and Fritz said
the English had tough enough skins
and they did not need clothing. Then
he said: wait until you see what u
German winters are like"
The following morning the engines
began to tear away again and the
guns started firing. After a while the
hiring stopped and the engines too, and
after an hour they had the old man
of the YarrOwdale aboard. She was a
British ship chartered by the French
and hound for Brest and Liverpool
with a very valuable cargo aboard
airplanes, ammunition. food and auto
mobiles.
When they rousted us on deck again
the st. Theodore was still in sight, but
she had the YarrowdaIe for
Both were trailing behind us and keep
ing pretty close on. While we were
on deck we saw the German sailors at
work on the main deck making about
ten RATS and when they began to place
tins of bareback on the RATS, a tin to
each, we imagined they were going to
heave us over the side and let US go
on the RATS. But instead they began
telling us we would land In the States
and then they rousted us between
decks again.
We had only been there n short time
when some of the German officers came
down and asked if any of the men
would volunteer to go firing on the
Yarrowdale and we almost mobbed
them to take US. They began putting
down the names of the men who were
TO go and 1 talked them into putting

/ sneaked up to where the rest OF
the fellows were and the guards
drilled us into No. 4 hold. There was
nothing but ammunition In Ii. They
battened the matches down on US,
which made the hold waterproof. And
as that made 1t practically alright the
only air the $50 of us got was through
the ventilators. That hold was GER
tainly foul.
They next day some of the men had
got cigarettes somewhere. In a few
minutes they as well as the rest had
lit up and were putting away In great
style. I divided a cigarette with an
other fellow. Remember, we were sit
ting and standing on ammunition all
this time. 1t shows how much we
cared whether school kept or not.
The Germans saw the smoke COM

We're crazy with fright. A gang of
them laid below and rousted us out
with whips.
They lined US up on deck and read
us the riot act.
They drilled us down into the coal
bunkers. 1t was simply terrible there.

Also, by this time some of the men
had lost their heads completely; in

the Germans would give us a chance to

had said that we would go down with
the ship. And going down on a ship In
which you are a prisoner is quite diff

which you have been fighting. You

five hundred pounds lighter.
Five o'clock came and by that time
l had forgotten to do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most Of us who had volunteered fig
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an officer
came down below and read out the
names Of those who were to go and
felt yen lighter when he called mine.
We were each given a life belt and
mustered on deck.
The sea was pretty nasty and some
of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
nfeboats when the swells rocked us.
One man fell from the ladder and
broke his neck on the gunwale of the
Hfeboat. They took over boat after
boat to the Yarrowdale until finally
We were all there. Then they mus
tered US on deck and warned us not to
start anything, because they had a
time bomb in the engine room and two
on the bridge. Meantime they had
brought over several boatloads of hard
tack and we threw IL into No. 3 hold.
This was to be our food for some time.

CHAPTER XVII.
Landed In

They had a coolie crew on the Var.
rowdale and when they routed them
on deck the coolies began to pray, and
though 1t is nothing to laugh at | could
not help but chuckle at the way some
of them went about talking to their
various gods. They were beginning to
smell danger and were pretty nervous
Every n of the coolies had a cane
and a pair of Palm Beach trousers.
The Huns were loading them in the
lifeboats TO be taken back to the
MOewe with their sea bags and one OF
them got too nervous and was slow
about getting into the lifeboat, so the
Germans shot him without saying q
word.
Then the Germans called out the
anne of those who had volunteered To
go stocking and this included me. We
were drilled down the fiddley into the
fire room. The fiddley is a shaft that
runs from the main deck of a ship to
the engine rooIa. | looked around a
bit and saw a German standing not
very far from the fddley, so | asked
him if we would be given shoes. He
said no. Then I asked him If we had
to fire in u fare feet and he said
yes-that we did not need shoes. Then
he went into the engine room.
l looked at the narrow passage he
went through and at the narrow pas
sage of the fiddley to the main deck
and / talked to my feet like | used to

arrive at the same place, but the feel
ing is different.
Some of us thought Of overpowering
the crew and taking the vessel into our
own hands. and we got the rest of
the sane or nearly sane men together
and tried to get up a scheme for doing
IL. l was strong for the plan and so
were several others, but the Limey Of
icers who were with us advised
against it. They said the Germans
Were taking us to a neutral country,
where we would be informed, which
was just what the Germans had told
us, but what few of us believed.
Then some others said that If we
started anything the Germans would
fire the time bombs. We replied that
at least the Germans would 90 west
with us, but they could not see that
there was any glory in that. For my
self, | thought the Germans would not
fire the bombs until the last minute,
and that we would have a chance at
the boats before they got all Of us
anyway. There were only thirteen
German sailors on board, besides their
commander. This last Hun was
named Badewitz.

thought we would stay up and get an
eye full before we started for Davy's

About two bells the following morn

groan and shake her up a bit and we
could hear the blades jump out of the
water every ace in a while and tear
away. She went ahead In this way for
some time and we were hoping she

not hear any sound that they might

CARTANO JURY NOW
SEEKING A VERDICT

The jury in the damage suit case
of Bert Cartano VS.. the City of Athe-
ma is this afternoon deliberating on
its verdict. The jury went out at 12:45
this afternoon following a morning Of
argument and instructions. The de-
fcnse put in its evidence in half
hour yesterday after Judge Phelps
had refused to non-suit the case.
Cartano is asking for 100000 for
personal injuries alleged to have re-
suited from a fall through hole in
a sidewalk at Athena. He claims a
locked knee joint resulted from the
injury and that it is growing worse.
The city holds there was contribu-
tory negligence on the part of the
plaintiff inasmuch as he admitted
having known the hole was in the
sidewalk from having passed it many
times. Alsod the city. through its
witnesses. sought to establish that
Cartano had a diseased knee long be-
fore the accident.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Charg-
ing the government officials are mis-
representing the progress of the avi-
alton program and misleading the
public, the senate military affairs
committee today demanded that air
craft production be taken from the
signal corps control and placed under
"one executive officer appointed by
the President"
Chairman Chamberlain filed the re-
port 1t demanded that one executive
be surrounded by a corps of the best
aircraft engineers, both European and
American and requests a broad future
Lolicy. The committee reported 22,-
500 liberty motors ordered and 1872
completed for the army and 142 for
the navy, four of which are enroute
to Europe. They say the production
is "graveIy disappointing"
The committee said the liberty mo-
tor can not be used for swift fighting
machines, but are satisfactory for de-
signated purposes. They are probably
the equal of foreign motors of similar
power, weight and purpose.
The report declares that mislead-
ing reports, promising thousands of
motors this spring are injurious. 1t
says the construction OF combat planes
is substantially a failure.
The history of the adoption and
manufacture of a bombing plane type
affords a remarkable illustration of
procrastination and indecision too
long to recite."

MOVE IS ON TO GET
LOAFERS TO WORKING

Men who have much time To loaf
about upon the streets and have no
regular useful employment will soon
face hard shedding from indications.
With the call for workers strong
throughout the country there l. a
growing sentiment everywhere against
the loarer. be he rich or poor. In va
rious cities. Portland Included, steps
are being taken TO bring these men
into the ranks of the useful and Il
is said the Pendleton officials plan 4
similar line Of action. The vag Law
may be modified to cover the grounds.
There are said to be few men
here who work at times but devote
much time To frequenting one or two
Joints under suspicion OF bootlegging.
There is theory that the new rule
when invoked will prove very whOie-
some in it's operations against such
men.
