WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Left
alone and helpless in mid-ocean when
her engines became disabled In ter.
rible gale ar American built submar-
inc chaser has reached the other side
of the Atlantic after being at the
mercy OF the seas for 80 days. Secre-
tary Daniels made this announcement
late today.
The chaser had been turned over to
the French Government and was man.
ned by French crew.
The safe navigation OF the tiny craft
into port officially is recognized as one
of the most remarkable naval achieve
ments of the war.
The feat was accomplished by rig.
ging up sail from bed coverings. Run
ming before the wind, a speed OF two
OF three knots an hour was made un-
der this means OF propulsion.
A compass was the only navigating
instrument on board the vessel. The
commander Of the crew was forced to
estimate his positions. A shortage OF
rations aggravated the hardshtps be-
fore port was reached.
The chaser and other units OF the
convoy were overtaken by storm jan
uary Is. Tie little boat became sep
arated from her escort and being
adrift, as the result Of her engines
breaking down the mountainous waves
tossed her about like cork. She was
soon out of sight Of other ships.
A report that the chaser was miss
ing was the only word of her until to-
day, when Secretary Daniels received
a cable message telling Of her safe ar
rival in foreign port.
The boat virtually had been given
up for lost, with her entire crew Of
about 20 men.
Officials Gratified.
Secretary Daniels and the officers at
the Navy Department were highly
gratified at this practical demonstra-
ton of the seaworthiness of the Amer
ican-built submarine chasers. Full
credit was given to the French crew,
but the fact that 110foot craft. help
less and adrift, could successfully ride
out a terrific mid-Atlantic gale leaves
nothing to be said in behalf Of the
American builders.
The storm which separated the chas-
err from her escort was one of the
worst on record, 1t was officially re-
ported to the Navy Department.
According to one navy officer this
is the second time that an American
submarine chaser has shown that she
can live in the worst of ocean storm.
A few months ago, he said. a large
number OF merchantmen under convoy
we're overtaken by a gale at night.
The wind was of hurricane velocity.
The merchantmen became separated
and the conveying vessels sought safe
ty in running before the wind.
The tiny chaser, manned by Ameri.
cans, stuck by the ship she was pro-
tecting from U-boat attacks. When the
storm abated with the coming Of day
she was still on guard, the crew lit
tie the worse for the terrible expert
ence. but ready to take shot at the
first periscope that showed above the
surface.
Secretary Daniels announced the
news in this statement:

Signal Came and Child
Said 'sLef 'er Go"

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Eft was
midday at the orphans home. An
Italian woman had just said good-by
to her little 3-year-old Marie. An
attendant took the child to the dining
room and placed her in a high chair
at table. Three hundred pairs of
strange little eyes looked her I'D and
down. Verify, this was a new and
strange world to her and she had to
remark about it.
A teacher told her she must not
talk out loud, and she muttered, mo
talk?" The teacher assented. Well,
she must have reasoned, she couldn't
talk, but she could eat, for there was
plate of food set before her She
began at once to eat. The teacher
reproved her. explaining she must
wait until all the others were served
and the gong sounded.

the gong banged las the children

Let every family In town have a

that is. live in an apartment, let
them get vacant lot. There are
