few years ago there was destroy CT off Hatteras. It was before day break of a winters morning in heavy weather A boiler explosion blew out her side from well below the water line clear up through to her main deck Men were killed by the explosion; oth- CTS were badly scalded. A steam burn Is an agonizing thing, yet some Of these scalded men went back into that hell of boiler room and hauled out shipmates who, to their notion, were more badly burned than themselves. One such rescuer died of his burns. The hole in the deck and top side of that destroyer was twelve feet across, yet her commander and crew got her to Norfolk under her own steam. Con- mander and crew behaved well, but no better than they were expected to be have.-James B. Connolly in Collie-'s Weekly.

IT WAS A NOISY CARGO.
But It Completely Cured tho Skipper of Hia Fsar of U Beats.

of His Fsar of U 5eats.
 A skipper who took cargo of loco motives across the Atlantic when the U boat warfare was at its worst gave this ringing story of the trip:
 eve left Philadelphia with sixty To- comotives. all ipcased in huge wooden boxes, intact and ready to be taken oil the ship and placed immediately on the tracks to start dragging ammunition trains to the front.
 "The Delaware was as smooth as a pond as we made our way down to the bay, but the first waVelets that struck us at the capes started some thing that made me want to take a header off the bridge. Every one or the sixty locomotive bells in the hold began to ring! And they all kept ring ing all day and all night all the way across the Atlantic.
 At first l thought of going back to dock to have the bells taken on. But that would have amounted virtually to unloading the whole cargo because of the manner in which the locomotives were slowed. It would have meant 6 weeks delay, and I was supposed to get to sea as quickly as possible. So we put out that night with those sixty mad bells going hammer and tongs continuously.
 q thought We would a4 lose our senses. Sleep was out of the question. It was like ringing eight bells eighty times a minute in sixty different keys. You've seen Sir Henry Irving in tho play The Bells?' Well, 1t WAS like that, only thIs was no play, but real life. It seemed, as one member of the crew who is by far too imaginative said, as If tue ghosts of all the mur- dered ships were changing up at us out of the depths of the ocean, warning us of the U boats that had filtered the sea floors with their bones.
 We fell in with some nasty weath- CT as We neared the other side. The vessel rocked and tossed, and every time she plunged a whole cataract Of bells went tearing down toward perdi- ton. We're in the U boat zone,' re- marked the man at. the wheel to me one night. :Goodr I cried. I hope a torpedo hits us soon. Then perhaps I'll get some sleep
 The destrOyers that met us didn't know what to make of us. They thought we had all gone crazy drunk and were trying to tell the U boats exactly where we were. But I told them I was cured of the fear of U boats forever."-Philadelphia Ledger.

How Norway Finds Sailors.

Norway's navy, being young serV- ice, is built expressly for defense and not defiance. But, though her ships are few, the quality of her men is high, the hardy fishermen of the coast providing an abundance of excellent material
 and her officers are chosen and trained with the utmost care. A cadet has to serve at least one year In the merchant service before he can enter the naval
 college at HOrten, and his qualifca- tions before obtaining the rank of sub lieutenant must include thorough knowledge of English. French and Ger man, with ability to speak English and one of the other two languages fuently.

 of Everyday Duty.
 Our navy is crowded with men who will face any danger. Some years ago one of our battleships was on the bat tie range, with bags of powder slowed In her turrets to save time in loading and firing the guns. A spark got to the bags of powder. There were an ex- plosion and a fire. Directly under heath was the handling room. Burn ing pieces of cloth fell from the turret down into the handling room. The crew of that handling room could have jumped into the passageway, made their way up a ladder and so on to the free and safe air of the open deck. What they did was to stand by to stamp out what fire they could.
 Leading from the handling room were the magazines. The doors of the mag axines were open. Men jumped into the magazines and buttoned the keys of the bulkheed doors so that there would be no creVice for sparks. In doing that they locked themselves in, and once in they had to stay in. Above them, they knew, was turret full of men and officers dead and dying. They knew that fire was raging around them, too, and that the next thing would be for the people outside to flood the mag aEines. The magazines were flooded. When things were under control and the doors opened the water in the mag azines was up to the mems necks.
 While that was going on below decks In the turret were other men and off, cers, including the chaplain, not know ing what was going on below and ex- pecting every moment to be blown up Into the sky. But there they were, cas- ing the last moments of the men who were not already dead. Thirty all told wero killed in the turret. All concern ed behaved well, but no better than they were expected. to behave.

Business Faces Ruin if

INTERESTING FIGURES
Cincinnati. o.. June 2e.


Chairman August Hermann. of the
National Baseball Commission. in
statement which was sent to Provost
Marshal General Crowder yesterday.
calls the latter's attention to the fact
that 25s baseball players of the 900
players carried on the reserve lists of
the sixteen major league clubs will be
forced to seek other employment II the
amended selectiye service regulations is
sued from Washington today are strictly
enforced.
"If the regulations as issued are to be
applied to these 25S ballplayers of the
major leagues that are affected" said
Chairman Herrmann's statement, sit
will absolutely crush business that
has more Than ss,oO0,O0O capital in
vested. exclusive of The, value of their
franchise and players"
In his statement Chairman Hermann
said:
THE book value of the combined plants
of the sixteen clubs, not including the
Is sS.637,754.12. while the amount SUBJ
scribed by the officials and stockholders
of the various clubs for Liberty Bonds
amounted to $S,522,45O."
The statement brought out the fact
that of the 531 reserve players in ma jor
league clubs on October 1, 1917. ninety
one, or III per cent. have volunteered
and sixty.three, or Il;s per cent, have
nection Chairman Hermann says: II
am quite sure that no other line Of busi-
ness or occupation can make a better
showing than this"
The statement informs General Crow
der that the average salary of the play
ers who volunteered was $252124 and
of those who were drafted s2441.26 for
period of six months only. To this
paragraph Chairman Hermann adds
$50 1t cannot be held that they sought
service in order to benefit their condi-
ton from financial standpoint"
The statement adds: 1T will be quite
a. loss to some of the clubs when their
players who are now in classification A 4
are called. We realize that there cam
not and should not be any exceptions
made In cases of this kind and that class
of players must stand in the same CATE
CORY as far as the draft regulations are
cerned as any other person"
The statement says that the game
offers field for relaxation, diversion
and recreation unequaled by any amuse-
ment throughout the country, and in
