do not believe came to, singing, be- /,
cause I never sang "Sweet Adeline"
before, that I know of, or any other |
song when anybody was in range. But
I heard it lots of times, so maybe I
did sing it at that.
Then I went to sleep feeling fine
The next morning the detachment
from the Cassard was withdrawn, and
I saw some Of the men who had been
in the two trenches, but I was not
near enough to speak to them. So I
do not know how they got out.
You never saw happier bunch in
your life than we were when we piled
| into the lifeboats and started for the
Cassard. The old ship looked pretty
good to us, you can bet, and we said
if we never put our hoofs- on that place
again it would be soon enough.
| We were shelled on our way out to
the Cassard, anu one boat was over
turned, but the men were rescued.
Two men in the launch was in were
wounded. But we did not pay any
attention to that shelling-the Turks
might just as we'll have been blowing
peas at us through a soda straw for
all we cared.
I noticed that when we came near
the Cassard the other boats held up
and let our launch get into the lead,
and that we circled around the Cas-
sard's bows and came up on the star
board side, which was unusual. But
I did not think anything Of it until
came over the side. There were the
side boys lined up, and the Old Man
) was there, with the ships steward
beside him.
He took the log book from the stew
ard and showed it to me, and there
was my name or it. Now when you
are punished for anything you are
logged, but could not figure out what
:, had done to get punished for, so
was very much surprised. But tn
Old Man slapped me on the back an(

CHAPTER XIV.
Je Suis BIesse

AS usual, when we got to Rrest there
was rush work day and night on the
Cassard to get her out and supplies of
all kinds were loaded. for our next
visit to the Turks. The French gar
bies were always keen for the trip
back to Brest-they were sure of load
ing up on tobacco and other things
they needed.
My twelfth trip to the Dardanelles
was different from the others. The
Cassard was doing patrol work at the
time in the neighborhood of Cape
Helles. Those Of us who had served
on the Peninsula before were thank
ing our stars for the snap we were
having-just cruising around waiting
for something to happen.
We had not been there very long be-
fore something unexpected did happen,
for we ran into two enemy cruisers
which I afterwards heard were the
VERT and Kaiserliche Marine-one on
the starboard and one on the port.
How they had managed to sneak up
so near us I do not know. They
opened up on us at not much more
than thousand yards and gave us a
hot time from the start, though with
any kind Of gunnery they should have
done for us thoroughly.
We came right back at them and
we're getting in some pretty good shots
I was in the 14-inch gun turret, star
board bow-my old hangout-and we
were letting them have it about four
shots every five minutes and scoring
| heavily.
do not know how long we had beer
| fighting when part Of our range finder
| was carried away. It was so hot
though, and we were so hard at it thai
such a little thing like that did moi
bother US. It is hot in any gun turret
but I have always noticed that it |!
hotter there in the Dardanelles thar
in any other place. . The sweat woult
simply cake up on us, until our face
were just covered with film Of pow
derry stuff.
But the range finder was carried
away, and although it looked bad TO
US I was feeling so good that I vol

up in fire and smoke. I felt good then,
and laid the wires on the other ware
house and let her go. But she was too
high and made clean miss. Then
l was mad, because I had sent that
one over for myself. So got the cross
wires on the warehouse again and,
I said to myself, 'This is not for any
body, just for luck, because I sure
have had plenty Of it today"
Then the juice came through the
wires and into the charge, and away
she went, and up went the second
warehouse. That made two directs out
Of three, and I guess it hurt the Turks
some to lose all their ammunition
The officer kissed me before I could
duck and slapped me on the back and
1 keeled over. I was just all in.
They brought me to with rum, and
they said I was singing when I came
to. When they tried to sing, to show
me what song it was, figured it wa.
"Sweet Adeline" they meant. But

CHAPTER XIV-Continued

H..
When looked around l saw that
our real position was to the right of
where the artillery was, and that there
were three lines of trenches with
French infantry in them. So the
trenches I had come from were more
like outposts than anything else, and
were cut off. felt pretty sure, then,
that the boys in them would never
come back alive, because as soon as
their fire let up the Turks would ad-
would have to wipe out our men, and
II they did not, the Turks would. At
first I was glad I had come out, but
then remembered what the artillery
officer had said and I figured I would
have to go back and stay with them
Or bring them back. Either way there
was not one chance in hundred that
any Of us would make it. Because
when I got through it was really just
& miracle and nobody would have
thought it could happen.
Then the officer told me to go back
to the beach, where our naval guns
were, and that was detailed to them
Maybe you do not think I was glad
But there was rough work still ahead
Of me, because when I got behind the
third line saw wide open field thai
was light gray from the shell smoke
hanging over it, and I could see the
flashes where the big ones were doing
their work, and had to go through
that field.

sometimes when I had no reason TO

Acid "Ston1ac|l
Ruins Health
of Millions

Besides those painful attacks Of in
digestion; that awful bloated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced it know so well; besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating,
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength Of millions.
If you don't get rid Of those stomach
miseries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end, for it is
we'll known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in an
acid-stomach.
Start now-this very day to get rid of
your stomach miserieS-take EATON1O
the wonderful remedy that absorbs
the excess acid from the stomach and
brings INSTANT relief. You simply
have no idea how much better, stronger
and brighter you feel at once. It drives
out all the gas and bloat, puts an i'm
mediate stop to belching and heartburn,
ends stomach suffering and makes it
cool, sweet, comfortable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stomach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life has
lost all it's joys. Remember, just as
acid-mouth ruins teeth, SO acid-stomach
ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's good, just like
bit of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine. You can then eat the things
you like and, what is more, every
mouthful you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better-have punch and pep-the power
and will to do things and get results,
and your stomach misery will be gone
Take our advice. Get big box of
EATONIC from your druggist today,
1t costs SO little. If it fails to remove
your stomach distress, he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed, you
are to be satisfied or money refunded

Attorney General LANCER to the stand

of the funds paid over should be used

Then LANCER was Intercepted as to
the organization of the German Maen-

if he did not draw up the corporation
papers, and if later in 1916 he did not
go to the organization and solicit
funds to help pay for his campaign. At

the members of this organization for

There are too many companies con-

agents licenses per year, and that
perhaps from 5000 to 5000 men are
employed in soliciting and writing The
business. may we not be pardoned for
raising the question as to the economy
of it all. We have many insurance
companies doing business in the state
who barely break even-some lose

panies outside the state, and they can
afford it because Of huge proti,s mane
