Pick Up a

DO you remember the time
when you used to walk and you
used to say, Believe me, if l had
car Id pick up people who were
walking?
Well, here's a chance for a
great many of you. When you go
out for your Sunday afternoon
ride, stop at the Soldiers and
Sailors club house and pick up a
load. DON'T GO OUT WITH
THAT BACK SEAT EMPTY.
Hundreds of the men who come
to town have nothing to do. Many
of them are accustomed to cars
OF their own and these lovely
warm Sundays they notice the diff
ference between walking and rid
ing more than ever. Try taking
a car full! tn do you good to
see how much good you're doing
someone else. If you go on a
picnic, one or two more in the
party won't make much difference
in the amount of food you will
have to bring and it'll make a big
difference to the fellows who have
been drilling all week. Try it
and see.

SEES ONE
HUN DIVER
GO DOWN

George T. Stagg, $3.50 No. It'll
ST., has just received a letter from
his brother Bert who is on the U.
S. army transport Charlton Hall,
serving as a wireless operator.
LAS you most likely know, by
this time l am now on my second
trip across and altho there are
plenty of reports of subs l have
as yet not had the pleasure of a
meeting with one.
1T is a great deal more inter-
esting than the run down the
coast, as there is always some
thing doing. Last trip we only
had a small convoy, nine ships
and the escort, but we are a regu-
lar fleet this time, there being 25
to 30 of us, depending on how
many get lost from the convoy on
a dark night. That is naval re-
serve navigation.
Last trip the naval reserve
ship with the lieutenant COM
mander on board her got lost from
the convoy and it took them a full
week to find us again.
This is a British convoy but
there are French, Norwegian and
American ships in it, The day we
left -, where we met the con-
voy, there was another convoy left
at the same time in which there
were 20 to % ships. You may
imagine what sight it would
make, so merchantmen of many
different nationalities, their ma
tional flag flying, code pennants
up and painted like a cubist's bum
attempt to paint Washington
Icrossing the Delaware.
ut seems queer to say it, but
we are two weeks out and all we
can say is, We don't know where
we are going but ere on our way
Even the captains of trans
ports do not know where they are
bound until we anchor off
island in the Bay of
where the convoy separates, each
ship going on its way to its des-
tination. We signed on the arti-
Giles for port in France but we
are now entering the English
Channel. ] hope we go to the
port we went to last trip, st. Ma
zaire, for then l will get some
mail from home this trip and also
have a few friends there.
IF We are going TO see a sub
this trip, l hope it is on our re-
turn passage as there are two
ships in this convoy which have
full cargoes of high explosives.
One has INT and the other dyna-
mite and gun-cotton. II they
were hit one whole convoy would
mysteriously disappear.
'P. ST. had ended this letter
once but something of great inter-
est happened today and ! thought
you would like to hear about it.

there was no list, knew that she
had not been hit.
Just then there was a second
explosion and ase / was standing
there l saw what happened.
About 40 tons of the briny
went up and came down with a
roar. But there was something
that went up with it, and that was
oil.
soon after the explosion the
well advertised spot of oil APPEAR
ed on the surface and there was
a little wreckage floating around.
That was all.
AT first I felt thrilled, but
after ] thought what it must have
been for those poor fellows in that
shell ! felt different.
They say as ye SOW so shall
right. Anyway there is one less
submarine in this part of the
world and few less of their muir
derous crew."

Railway Wage Report

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Secretary
McAdoo, still tonsillitis patient, spent
a large part of the day propped up in
bed at home studying the Railroad
Wage Commissions report, and keep
ing three stenographers busy replying
to letters on wage and other railroad
and Treasury matters. Many sugges-
tions and complaints on recommends
tion of the Wage Commission have
reached him. All of them, together
with the report itself, have been re-
ferred to the heads of divisions Of the
railroad administration for study.
1t is understood the Director General
will make many changes in the sched-
ules recommended before ordering
their adoption. Mr.. McAdoo expects to
return to his Offices early next week.
The first formal protest against the
recommendation Of the Railroad Wage

Zeebrugge Raid Veterans.
Joined in Ostend Exploit
Survivors Relate How Vindctve Crsed Twenty Minutes
in Plain View of Enemy Gunners to Find
Vital Place to Sink

LONDON, May 1-A large number
in the operation against the Zeebrugge
mole on April % claimed the right to
participate in the Ostend operations
and the sinking Of the old cruiser Vim
dictive, says the Central News story
of the raid, and their wish was graft
fed. All the men on the Vindictive
were volunteers from the Dover patrol.
At $3.50 o'clock the Warwick, flagship
Of Admiral Keyes, sighted motor
launch. which had on board two officers
and thirty-eight men of the Vindictive.
An officer who was on the destroyer
described the operations.
up to 1:45 o'clock we heard moth
ing of the enemy" he said Then he
searchlights. A heavy hombardment
followed, beginning when we were
about two and one-half miles from the
shore.
by the light of star shells and
searchlights our smoke stream was To-
Gated. Then a fog came on, and the
airmen were prevented from continuing
their work For an hour this state Of
things continued. but then the weather
cleared sufficiently to permit our air
men to resume their operations.
Foe Gunners Sight Cruiser
"A heavy fire was turned on the Vim
dctve Wnen at last she found the
entrance to the harbor she ran her
stem into the pier and was abandoned.
"The crews of the motor launches
behaved in the most gallant manner,
rushing into shore utterly regardless
of their safety, to see that no one was
left behind. One launch brought off
two officers and thirty eight men from
the Vindictive. Another, which subse-
quently went alongside, took off lieu
tenant and two ratings who were
wounded, while two other motor
launches, also detailed for rescue work,
kept close to the shore, their crews dis
playing the greatest pluck and deter
mination.
"Our vessels effectively bombarded
the shore batteries. The work of the
monitors in this respect was paric-
ularly fine. Altogether, 200 shells fell
within few yards of two of the moni-
tors. but neither was hit made nor
was a casualty caused. During the
whole operation not one enemy craft
was seen. At 2:3O o'clock, acc ording
to the programme, the retirement was
begun"
Enemy Slow to Open
Commander Lynes. who conducted
the blocking operation at Zeebrugge,
was in command on the present occa-
sion. He tells the following story:
"The outward passage was made
without interference on the part of the
enemy. The small craft were all dis
patched to their stations, with destroy
ers in support, and two coastal motor
boats were told off to torpedo the piers.
Before the arrival of the Vindictive,
until AS o'clock, the enemy was re-
markably quiet, but just at this time
the Germans began to open fire. Star
shells showed that the smoke screens
were progressing excellently
AT about this time the sky. which
hitherto had been almost unclouded,
began to be partially obscured by low
drifting clouds. In about ten minutes.
before the Vindictive was due at her
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

destination, sea fog set in. This
stopped our air attack Indeed, for
time even the searchlights could not
be seen. This state of things continued
for almost an hour, when it cleared
sufficiently for the air attacks to be
recommended.
Describes Lurid Scene
at was a lurid scene when the Vim
dict've arrived at 2 o'clock, practically
programme time. There was thunder
ing of guns on sea and land. The ex-
ploding of bombs from airplanes added
cry of agony from some one mortally
wounded. Searchlights crss-crossed
above, and the whole scene was illu-
minated with flashes and star shells.
This was the picture for full hour.
"The Vindictive cruised about for
twenty minutes in the fog, looking for
the entrance to the harbor, which she
eventually found She sank herself
about 200 yards inside the eastern en-
trance. The Vindictive's crew was res
cued by motor launch, which brought
off two officers and thirty-eight men,
and another which went alongside and
took off lieutenant and two men.
Two other motor boats detailed for
fully under very heavy fire, but found
no one"
According to the Press Association
the Vindictive had a complement of
fifty-two officers and men. The effect
OF the operation was to restrict great
ly the use of the harbor, the Press AS
sociation says. making it impossible
for cruisers to go in and out. Ex-
perts do not go so far as to say that
the same disability applies to subma-
rines and destroyers.
Why Other Attempt Failed
An interesting disclosure may now
be made regarding the previous at
tempt to block Ostend. 1t was unsuc-
cessful because the enemy had just
moved about mile from his former
position. 1t is believed that if he had
not made this change both block ships
would have got in.
The entire operation at Ostend was
carried out on lines similar to the raid
of April %, when concrete laden cruis-
ers were sunk in the harbor of Zee
brugge, the most important German
submarine base.
The Vindictive, because of fog, ex-
perienced the greatest difficulty in
find the entrance to the harbor. The
enemy employed star shells and
searchlights extensively, and for TWEEN
ty minutes the vessel was in full view
of the enemy batteries. AS she cruised
up and down seeking the entrance she
was hit repeatedly and several casual
ties were sustained. 1t was 2:2O
o'clock when the piers we're sighted
almost alongside. and then the Ger
man machine guns opened fearful
fire.
Having found his bearings, the cap
tain swung his concrete laden cruiser
around and rammed her stem against
the eastern pier, leaving his lieuten-
ant to work the engines with the OBJ
ject of sending the ship across the
channel. He then discovered that the
cruiser was aground aft, and that it
was impossible to turn her any fur
ther. He called his crew from the en-
gine room and stokehold and then set
off explosive charges.
While the vessel was being aban-

AMSTERDAM, May I.--A German
official account Of the attack on Os-
tend says:
"The second British attempt found
our marine corps as we'll prepared as
the first. The reason why only Ostend
was attacked this time is not clear.
The. British developed heavy artificial
fogsoff Zeebrugge ct the same time,
but this was obviously to distract at
tenton.
"The enemy opened fire at 2:45 from
the sea on our batteries. The fog was
developed a few minutes later. Two
cruisers were sighted in the fog east
of Ostend at 3 o'clock and our bat
teries opened a we'll aimed fire.
After curtain Of fire had been
placed over the entrance to the harbor
ono cruiser turned westward. The
other reappeared before the entrance

cation channel. Several objects caught
