of his ship, the Slade, Captain Smith
said:
Il left Sydney on April "a, 1917, and
proceeded without any incident until
the evening of June II, when the Sec
ond mate reported to me that a ship
was firing on us. She was about eight
miles off. There was a heavy souall
starting eastward-vvind favorable to
this time, and I thought it possible
to get away and kept holding on. But
she Kept firing on me at intervals of
about five to ten minutes and was
coming up on me fast.
Il concluded that there wasn't anv
use and lowered down spanker. clew-
ed down topsail, hoisted the American
Nag, and hove to. Shortly after the
prize officer came aboard and a doctor
and about ten men. These officers
were in uniform. They told me to
leave the ship and to 60 on board
the raider and they would give me
time in the morning to pack nv
clothes.
"They took all our men aboard the
raider except the cook. Next morn
ing l went back on board with all nv
men and packed up. We left the shin
with our belongings on June 18. We
were put on board the raider again.
Shortly after I saw from the raider
that they cut holes in the masts and
placed dynamite bombs in each mast
and put fire to both ends of the shin
and left her."

Professor Vincent Conquers the
Most Dangerous Enemy of

In Former Wars More Soldiers Per.
ished From This Disease Than bv
BuIlets-Fever Has Vanished
From Belfort District.

Paris.-One of Frances most dan
gerous enemies has now been van
qulshed-typhoid fever, and the victor
Is Professor Vincent, an officer of one
Of the French medical schools.
The war has shown that the most
deadly Of fevers is at the mercy of
science. TYPHOID fever was always a
great enemy of armies in the field. It
has been established that in wars pre-
vlous to the present one more men
died OF typhoid than by bullets and
shells.
Typhoid Epidemic Started.
AT the start of the present struggle
typhoid epidemic started in October
1914, and increased through the win
ter of 1914-1915.
PROFESSOR Vincent set out to stop the
epidemic by using vaccine which
he had discovered four or five wears
previously.
Already, from 1911 to 1914, most Of
the French soldiers under arms had
been vaccinated. But the mobilization
men arrived in different depots in hum
dreds Of thousands.
Doctor Landouzy. head Of the medi-
cal service in the Belfort district. had
IVV,OOO men vaccinated. Three
months later typhoid fever had en-.
tirely disappeared from his district
ana 1t was proved that only in dis
| trlcts where men had not been vac
| cinated was typhoid to be feared.
Number Of Deaths Smaller.
AT present vaccination is oblipa-
| tory everywhere, and. thanks to this
the number of typhoid cases dropned
from seven in January, 1915; to OO25
! In March, 1917.

father with questions.
Father, can cow speak,"

The father, thinking Carl was going

he knew, said severely:
mo animal can speak. And YOU
must now keep quiet, for father wants

For long time the child remained

were presently exhibited.

has been reported tomorrow.
Opponents OF the amendment were
quick TO point out that the prohibition
lists were making the error TO which
President Wilson objected With regard
to the Randall amendment-putting the
country on a whiskey-drinking basis
for nine months.
Members who voted for the years ex-
tension OF the period during which
whiskey may be sold, explained that
they were influenced TO do so by the
testimony OF Percy Johnston Of the
Chemical National Bank Of New York.

months, Mr.. johnson estimated. would

The plea OF California wine men,
voiced by Representative Kahn, had
great weight with the committee in its
vote on that section Of the amendmsnt
relating to the manufacture OF vinous
liquors. Mr.. Kahn said that stark ruin
would overtake thousands of California
wine men II they were not at least per-
mitted 10 sell this years crop Of grapes

ant as being father or mother
This is what Judge Pritchett tried
10 impress on parents who were pres
ent in the Juvenile Court on Wednes,
day TO answer for the various charges
OF delinquency against their children.
The first case had TO deal with three
boys charged with stealing property
belonging TO the Wilmington Street and
Sewer department. The chief offender
was a lad Of thirteen who conducted
his hearing with UNUSUAL intelligence,
a fact not lost upon the judge. He told
a thrilling tale OF entering the cabin
in which the property was stored and
with the assistance OF two accomplices.
one older and the other younger than
himself. securing two lanterns, a hatch
ct, ak, brass and compass which were
discovered later when the police were
notified and the boys arrested. The
object OF the theft was TO obtain money
by selling the articles.
Kindness is the keynote Of the pros
ecutions and after a man-tO-man con-
fldence is established the boys usually
respond with a frank confession OF their
guilt.
In this instance the boy who aided
the officers in locating the stolen prop
erty and made a clean breast Of the
case, was remanded until Saturday. His
parents were not present TO help the
court in deciding what Will be the best
solution TO his problem. This was his
second offense. and IL is customary for
boys who appear 10 be under the spell
OF former bad associates and environ
ments, 10 be sent to a change OF scene.
Private homes are found for those who
cannot do well under parental influ-
ence, and they frequently DO better

mothers 10 realize that it is better TO
part with their boys temporarily and
thereby make his future secure against
the compulsory industrial school and
permanent separation, but the expert
ence OF the court supplies plenty OF
evidence on this score.
