OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won Pardons From Grim Old "oom
 Paul7 Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American citizen, was in prison. under sentence of death. He had been tried and con- vlcted Of high treason to the South African Republic. One of four leaders of the reform movement in the Trans yaal. he was charged with compllclty in the famous Jameson raid, found guilty, and sentenced to die.
 Only one person lived In the Trans vaal with sufficient power to set aside the death sentence passed upon the man who Is known today as the great est mining engineer in the United States. This was Dom Paul Kruger, then president of the South African Republic He was an old man-nar- row. btgOted and possessed of an h. tense hatred for the eager, grasplng strangers who he believed had sought his country only to despon 1t.
 John Hays Hammond was among the most enterpriSing and, consequently, one of the most dISliked, of the foreign residents of the Transvaal. For years he had been employed as an engineer; first by Barney Barnsto, the English mining operator, and later by Cecil Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Dom Paul's country Dom Paul diSliked him. He diSEked all men who brought Swarms of eager reckless adventurers into his country. And he made life as difficult for them as he could.
 Tn 1895 the world was startled by the news that a British adventurer, Doctor Jameson, had led a raiding party of armed men into the Transvaal. The raid failed. John Hays Hammond was among those arrested on the ac- rusatIon of having InStiCated Jame- sons attack on the South African Re public. He was found guilty and sen fenced to die.
 But the brave, cOol-headed wife of the eminent American mining engineer dtI not intend that anything disagree able should happen to her husband. Ever since their marriage. In 1880, Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol- lowed the fortunes of her young en- sineer, uo matter where they took him. But when they threw him into jail under a death sentence, she. decided that 1t was time for her to interfere. She made up her mind to see Dom Paul Kruger and tell him that she had come to save him from the crime of putting an innocent man to death. IL was not easy 10 see President Kru- ger. but Mrs. Hammond proved equal tu the task. It was not easy to con vince a man who harbOred Il deep, si- lent contempt for women, that wOm- an was worth listening to; but Mrs. Hammond was successful. Before she left his office. Mir. Kruger had prom iSed to spare her husbands life. The president of the TranSvaal republic kept his word 10 Natalie Hammond. Her husbands sentence was commut- ed to imprisonment for 15 years and later on. he was freed on payment Of a fine of Sl25OOO, and Mrs. Hammond had the extreme happiness of knowing that through her intercesslon, not only her husbands life but the lives of the men arrested with him had been saved

of Captain F'ryatt, commander of an
English vessel which piled between
Yarmouth and Flushing.
A short time after the beginning
of submarine warfare, Captain Fry
ats ship came into contact with a
German submarine in the English
channel. In the encounter which fol-
lowed the U-boat was sunk.
Captain Fryatt, merely for defend
ing himself, was put on the official
blacklist of the German government.
Every effort was used to take him
prisoner When, finally, another sub
marine was successful in capturing
him, he was summarily shot.
Since that time the governments of
the Allied powers have forbidden the
publication of news of any merchant
man coming in contact with an
