Into Death Trap.

| Think of a great deserted ship, 81
feet long, 70 feet wide and over 81 Zee
deep, as black and forbidding as
Siberian copper mine, with not a ray o
light from the uppermost deckhouse u
the caverns of the lowest holds, in ti1t
damp and Shiny bilges, or in the rooms
filled with engines, pumps, dynamos
pipes and valves without number.
Think of exploring it, single-handed
with the warning fresh in your ears
that it is full of pitfalls, bombs and
death-traps; that every door you touch
will set off an explosive which will blow
YOU into eternity; that every ladder you
step on will send you sprawling down a
bottomless chasm, and that, il you value
vour life. YOU must not touch thing
weed, metal or cloth-without first
investigating it.
How would you like to explore such
a ship with only aashlight to guide
you through the abysmal blackness,
and with no means OF communicating
with friends on the top deck once you
start on your perilous journey? This
was the task assigned to certain en-
gineer in New York shortly after the
government seized the interned German
ships in this country, says the Popular
Science Monthly. 1t was task fraught
with the greatest danger, requiring an
extraordinary degree of caution and
patience, and calling for rare display
of courage. But so fearless was this
young engineer and so successful was
he in his undertaking that Sc hours al
ter the ship in question reached the
navy yard, the main boilers were gener-
ating steam.
Among the many interesting things
revealed by the intrepid investigator
were the location Of missing parts OF
the main engines, carefully hidden away
in the coal bunkers; the discovery OF
bolts and nuts which led to minute
examination of the cylinders and steam
chests, where it was disclosed that parts
had been removed and other parts
carefully substituted to conceal the
omission; the location, in other places,
of studs and bolts partly sawed through,
with the saw slot filled up; the finding
of steel fitted into steamports, so that
any attempt to turn over the engine
would have ruined it; the discovery OF
distractions in pipes, smokestacks and
ventilators-lumps Of coal and bars OF
iron placed on TOP Of the closed
damper-valve in ventilator, requiring
only pull on the damper-chain to
precipitate the entire load down on the
head Of the person foolish enough to
pull it, and other traps too numerous to
mention here.

RECRUIT HAD OWN METHOD
Showed He Could Do Some Shooting
When Sergeant Let Him Do 1t
as He Wanted.

Among a batch Of recruits sent M
from the recruiting office was tall
lanky. tow-headed East Tennesseean,
whose habitat stuck out all over him.
He took to the training all right
enough until the company went to the
target range for rifle practice.
The sergeant in charge Of the prac-
tice showed the recruits the regulation
position for firing-left elbow resting
against the side and all that. But to
his disappointment the Tennesseean
could not hit the target at range Of
100 yards. Finally In disgust the SER
geant blurted out:
"Say, Jim, I thought you told me
you used to go out in the mornings
and shoot the head Off squirrel for
your breakfast, and now you can't even
hit that targetw
To which came the drawing re-
spouse: "Wal, sergeant, we all do do
that, an If you'll let me shoot the way
I'm used to 1 can knock all HI outen
that target"
The amused sergeant agreed and the
recruit proceeded to spread his legs
wide apart, extended his left arm to
its full length-grasping the rifle near
the muzzle-and put ten shots through
the center Of the bulls eye.
"Jim's performance with the rifle
was spectacular" added the narrator
land put an abrupt end to the ser
geant's efforts to teach him how to
shoot. In after years he carried off
the highest shooting honors three
years In succession-won the Buffalo
medal"

Creed Worth Living Up To.

If any country boy ever becomes dis
contented with his lot and thinks there
might be more opportunities elsewhere,
or better place to live than in a white
farmhouse, let him read the creed COM
posed by Edwin Osgood Grover. The
lines might be pinned up on his bu-
reau, where he can see them the first
thing in the morning and the last
thing at night.
81, believe that the country, which
God made, is more beautiful than the
city, which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man.
81 believe that work is work where.
ever we find it, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery.
81 believe that the dignity Of labor
depends not on what you do, but or
how you do it; that opportunity come:
to a boy on the farm as often as to
boy in the city; that life is larger ant
freer and happier on the farm than il
the town; that my success depends no
upon my location, but upon myself
not upon dreams, but upon what
actually do; not upon luck, but upoI
pluck.
81 believe in working when you worl
and in playing when you play,and il
giving and demanding square deal il
every act of life"

RESPECT FOR FALLEN FOE
How Scottish Aviator Dropped a
Wreath on Funeral Procession OF
Man He Killed.

A true incident that reveals the re-
spect shown by allied aviators for the
memory of daring enemy fiier Is toid
in .Tam o. the Scoots," by Edgar Wal
lace. writing I'm Everybody's. Tam, an
intrepid Scotchman, was told that the
man he had brought down the day be-
fore was a well-known German aviator
named Won Zeidlitz, and on behalf or
the Royal Flying corps, Tam was Sc
Iacted TO take a wreath TO the funeral.
"The wreath in a tin box, firmly
corded and attached TO a little para
chute, was placed In the fusilage OF a
small Morane-his own machine being
I'm the hands of the mechanics and
Tam climbed into the seat. In hve
minutes he was pushing up at the
steep angle which represented the ex-
IRENE angle at which q man can ny.
Tam never employed lesser one.
"Eyidently the enemy scout realized
the business OF this lone British flyer
and must have signaled his views TO
the earth. for the antiaircraft bat
teries suddenly ceased fire, and when
approaching Ludezeel, Tam sighted an
enemy squadron engaged in a practice
flight. they opened out and made way
for him, Offering no molestation.
"Tam began to plane down. He
spotted the big white-speckled ceme-
terry and saw little procession max

down to thousand feet and dropped
his parachute. He saw 1t open and
sail earthward and then someone on
the ground waved white handker-

few thousand prisoners here or there may

That the British have been able to ward off

It is safe to conjecture that Emperor William will
spare none of his divisions long as there seems
possibility of SCATTERING the British fighting ma

At this writing the French lines have not been

that is that the sons of America Briton and France

Indicate that the retrograde movement of the
British has affected the strong defensive lines to

Germany's reported Super gum may turn out
to be one of the myths Of the war; Its effective
ness has nowhere been demonstrated. AS an in
strument to terroriZe mbatants-Women,
children and decrepit--it is doubtless a huge sue
cess. Something more than the meagre dis

Nothing has been disclosed yet by which to

war.
Under the eye of the military autocrats, the
flower of Germanys army is being hurled against
the British lines with an utter disregard for life.
This may be a measure Of the desperate straights
in which the military party finds itself.
The triumph Of democracy may be nearer at

THE DRIVE THE BEGINNING


cisive drive on the western front IS on; ms Is
an awful thing to say, when tn" fearful sacr'tlce
of lives is considered. But every day OF delay ma"
meant sacrifice Of human lives and there IS no
possibility of settlement save through slaughter
For nearly four years the foreign world mas
been developing hatred and Studying means Vi
gratifying that hatred through bloodshed For a
year, the thought of peace-loving America has
been turned to slaughter of human beings ana
even the little children in the schools are learning
to hate
You cannot SOW hate in the heart of young
nation or young person and reap other than
harvest of tares and thistes. With many more
months of this bloody war business, in our armies,
camps, factories, stores, schools and homes we are
poing to have on our hands the mighty task OF
preventing ourselves from becoming nation IN
clined to throat-cutting on easy provocatioh.
Heaven forbid that our national ideals OF lustce,
equality and liberty ever be at the mercy or hate
However, there's one satisfactory feature about
this drive There's no question as to what IT'S
about. 1t is the beginning of the decision as TO
whether civilization shall live and thrive or be-
come the harot slave Of brutal autocracy.
Do you remember how, in the first year OF the
war, all the statesmen, diplomats and theorists
were confused as to what the war was about
Even the men in the ranks weren't at all certain as
to why they were killing each other. Who started
the war? For what? How the partisans and the
editors wrestled with those questions! why, TOR
two years and more, even intelligent America ana
not realize what the issue was!
Won Hindenberg declares he'll drive through
to Paris though it cost him million OF his men.
He thereby dscoses not only the beast that's IN
autocracy, but also the enormity Of that autoc-
racy's design from the beginning. Today, there is
no particle of doubt. Today, no soldier or sailor
fight or dies because Belgium was outraged or
because this or that belgerent get this or that
territorial trade advantage. The cry that it is
tolso io lu,,oh -, tho n
crushing TRUTH The American soldier in France
salutes the Stars and Stripes as his emblem, but
knows that he is the soldier of all humanity.
And so, though the cost must be heavy, let the
drive go on! WHAT this starving, bleeding world
needs is an end of war. It is ready to pay the
inevitable cost of the beginning of the end
Come on, we Teuton barbarians! Your purpose
is known, and we shall meet your match. God
reigns and the love of liberty and justice still
lives in the hearts Of men, %M&
