said Carnforth, NJ. p, and flung off in
bIack rage.
Once from the lookout at the tank
ser's masthead came an alarm lin Ger
man. of which Capt. Kettle could only
went on at a still more furious pace,
though the submarine was ready to
slip and be away at a moments no
tice. As certain people. or their
friend the neutral, seemed FESTIVE,
they cast loose the two 3-inch guns
they carried forward and aft, and
trained them point blank on the
Gruda's bowels. They were unman-
merry brutes, these Germans. but in
the business of war they were emf
nently businesslike. Their motto was:
Win somehow, anyhow. Explain away
awkward details afterward.'
The Whiteheads got handed down
without mfshap. but an unpleasant in
cideEt came about through the pass
ing across of Il three-inch shell. Eli
Their one of the maitreated Nor
wegianS set the fuse for short time,
or there was jar that upset the
nerves of the high explosive inside,
or some other tritie outside the ordi-
nary routine occurred; the present de-
ponent is ignorant of the details; but,
anyway. the result was an explosion,
half-hearted perhaps, still. anyway,
vehement enough to kill outright two
german sailors and seriously damage
aNhird
A crisp order spat out from the
coming tower and all three were
booted over into the Atlantic and
work went on in it's smooth routine.
The officers of the submarine had no
use for either the dead or the ineffi-
cient.
When they were filled up with fuel
and ammunition, they demanded food
and drink-especially drink. The
NsSrwegian captain had no order for
this and objected. A second after
ward that Norwegian captain was TO
cussing both his eyes down the black
hole which exists in the middle of a
revolver barrel. Expert collectors
raided pantry and storerooms, and
the Gruda's pantryman helped them
The pantryman was thinking hard,
but didn't see his way to resist just
then. The pantryman was addressed
in German, but, not having a good
command of that tongue, replied in
fluent Arabic, which he thought at
the moment was less dangerous than
English. In the distance rugged

black faced stoker danced and ragged,
but the pantryman declined to see

Finally, when their ship was full of
the Germans decided they might
stretch their limbs and their lungs.
They were taking no chances, but as
their man at the Gruda's foremost
head reported the sea all around as
still clear. they hauled up the chief
engineers two-and-a-half octave
harmonium on deck. and a profess
sional pianist among them played
waltz tunes. The rest danced. They
danced heavily (being shod with knee
they danced with energy, as beseems
men who were keeping in condition
entirely for the good of their en-
pire. When they slackened at all in
their dance one or other of their
officers beat them brutally with a
knotted ropes end.
The German officers sat on the en-
CINE room skylight and drank Mil
waukee beer, which was the only
liquid other than water remaining in
the Gruda store, and smoked their
own Cigars. They drank this thin
lager to the waltz music at such a
rate that the cabin steward had to
call up his pantrymen to help open
the bottles; and they sat till they had
finished the stock; the crew, be it well
understood, being still employed in
that heavy athletic dance.
When no further bottles were forth
coming the German captain gave or
der for all of his hands to get aboard,
and followed them nimbly enough, the
submarine lying on the port side of
the supply ship, and curtseying deco
rousiy between the booms to which
she was tethered fore and aft.
The Norwegian captain, insulted.
flushed and ashamed, mounted to his
own bridge, and there was present
with him also just the quartermas-
ter at the wheel. On the decks of
the submarine men were battening

was quite ready to be off again on
her CHEEKY game of murder.
The German captain, somewhat
gravid with the beer, climbed by the
outside beckets to the deck of the
coming tower, and then gave the
word to "let go forrard."
At that moment Capt Kettle ar
rived on the Gruda's upper bridge.
There was no mistaking him for the
ships pantryman, and the Norwegian
did not SO mistake him. He limped

ards kit. but the Norwegian's words

What do you here, captain?"
There was no time for argument
or for losing the benefit of the sur
prise. Capt. Kettle threw the Nor
ladder, laid out the quartermaster
with a scientific jab on the point of
the jaw. and slammed down the tele-
graph of the starboard engine to
Full speed ahead"
The German captain Of the subma-
rine, to give him his due, saw the
whole thing as soon as it was done
and two seconds of time covered it
from first to last-and acted on the
tick. He also ordered Full speed
ahead" and though his engines (being
Diesels) were a shade slower in re-
spending, the mass of his vessel was
far less than that of the ,Gruda, and he
got weigh on her far more swiftly. In
the meantime he whipped out an auto
matte pistol and bombarded Kettle
with vicious energy.
That small mariner, however, had
the height of the Gruda's bridge in
comparison with the low freeboard
of he submarine in his favor. and,
with the wheel in his hands as soon as
his tanker gathered steerage way, had
the game his own way. Steamer and
submarine met nose to nose almost, as
the gap between them grew smaller;
and the Gruda's forefoot scraped down
the war vessels side, unShipping her
starboard diving rudders. and disar-
ranging her fitting generally; and then
Kettle rang on both engines, and the
submarines stern sank under the
pressure, and the larger ship lifted,
and drove oyer the top of her.
The submarines conning-tower
hatch was still open, and IL she had
been allowed due time she would have
filled and sunk. But. as frequently hap
hens at sea, the unforeseen interviewed.
The Gruda's forefoot dinged in one
of her adversary's plates which in its
turn depressed a stringer, which i'm
pinged on one of her stern torpedo
tubes. The intending of the tube
pressed home the striker of the White
head inside it, and Vesuvius burst
forth in the Atlantic off the Irish
coast. The yel of the explosion was
loud enough to split heaven. The sub
marine was a mere magazine of high
explosives and the firing of the first
Whitehead, inboard, touched off all
the lot.

Topeka to Ask Legislature for

Get Complete and Corrected
Record for Future Polling.

There will be a re-registration of
Topeka voters before the August pri-
mary if the legislature passes bill to
be introduced on behalf of the city
at the special session in January. The
city commissioners at their regular
meeting today instructed Mayor Cor
wine and the city attorney to draft a
bill asking the legislature to declare
the present city registration null and
void.
The object of this action, brought
before the commission by Miss Eta
Covell. city clerk, is to get a complete
and correct list of voters and their
history, sitting out aliens not quail
fled to vote. AS it is now, the clerk
has no way of telling who of the
voters. not required by reason of a
change of residence to register, are
American citizens.
Formerly there was a registration
of voters in the city every two years.
but this practice was discontinued in
1907,
The motion asking the legislature to

made by Commissioner McGiffert.
