London.-Sometime it is illuminat-
ing to look deeper into shipping re-
ports than the statement, for instance,
that lin three weeks six, four and
eleven British ships of more than 1000
tons have been sunk" Doing SO, one
finds that in one month--mid-March
to mid-April-64 vessels were at
tackled by U-bOats and escaped.
From the logs Of few tramp ships
in the custody of the admiralty which
have come safely to port with their
cargoes in recent days some typical
tales may be told.
A tramp proceeding at a leisurely
six knots, entered the danger zone.
All precautions were taken, extra
lookOuts were posted and the guns
creW-for she was defensively armed
were standing round their 'piece."
The day had just dawned and there
was every promise of a fine day. An
other three miles away to port, with
the red Of the morning sun glinting
on her gray back, a German subma-
rine was sighted.
As she was seen the U-boat opened
fire and shells dropped all round the
steamship, which shifted her helm and
put the U-bOat dead astern, firing at
her all the time. The steamships
gun crew were very cool and planted
their shells all round the submarine;
and the U-boat did not like it bit
Then the steamship put up a smoke
screen and the U-boat dived in a
panic, apparently expecting instant
dissolution.
Second U-6oat Appears.
She had hardly disappeared when
another U-bOat, about 300 feet long,
and mounting guns fore and aft of the
coming tower, broke surface. The
smoke screen was no longer service
able, for the wind was blowing the
wrong way; so the steamship let fly
at her second antagonist, who replied
with vigor, shrapnel sprinkling the
tramp's decks. For half an hour the
fight went on. Then one of the steam
ships shells fell close to She U-boat,
which dived and vanished under the
water just as a patrol boat appeared
on the scene and loosed off a couple
of devastating rounds. 1t was a fine
performance to beat off two pirate
ships in such short space of time,
and master and guns crew received
commendation from my lords of the
admiralty.
In another case 1t was a duel both
of gunnery and seamanship. Proceed
Ing steadfastly on her course, a Brit

PARIS IS GAY

People Accept All PrivatiOns in
Cheerful Mood, Swiss
Writer Says.

Army, by Reducing Cargo
Space In Shipping.

Berne.-The correspondent Of the
Berne Bund sends his paper a de-
scriptlon of life In Paris, which is
published under the caption, "War
Life In France; Paris as 1t Eats 'nd
Saves" The article says:
"Who would have thought possible
before the war a world city in exist
ence two days march behind the bat
tie front? During the first war weeks,
after the governments departure to
Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything
is back. The big hotels never did
better than just now. In the streets
there is a traffic that has never been
beaten. The stranger notices the
many uniforms; he thinks the French
capital a big army camp, where mill
tary men from all corners of the world
meet.
Used TO Uniforms.
"The Partisan long ago became used
to the uniforms and forgot that once
there was a time when women were
the only ones who added color to
street scene. Man gets used to every
thing. After a while one found the
dark streets quite natural. One paid
the high war prices without blinking.
One submitted to the necessity of
sugar card and learned to get along
with a moderate coal supply in win
ter.
Lately, however, the Partisan ex-
perienced things that reminded him OF
the war rather impresslvely. The
latest visit of German airplanes re-
suited in energetic measures for pro-
lection. At all the beautiful monu-
ments sand bags are piled high. On
many large buildings tablets are
posted saying there is a bombproot
cellar there and how many people 1t
will shelter. When darkness appears
Paris wraps itself in a blue veil,
which is very becoming.
"The electric arc lights, the gas Ian
terms of all descriptions are painted
blue. In tram cars, in the subway, In
the suburban trains the light is blue.
Brisk auto traffic is not without dan
ger under such circumstances.
Practice Economy
measures of economy are now taken
up in earnest. Who wants to drink
sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring
his own sugar or be satisfied with the
saccharine tablet the waiter will hand
him. Cakes, pastry and candy are not
made any longer. Confectioners are
put entirely out of business. The tea
houses, too, are in bad fix. No more
sugar or sweetmeats, not even sand
wiches, are to be had. And two francs
for such a cup Of tea is a pretty good
price.
"The authorities figure everybody
will be sensible enough to see that
saving is the patriotic duty of every
non-combatant. Clever posters tell the
people transportation of food takes up
cargo space that ought to be used for
American troops and war material. So
every citizen can see he will hasten
the arrival of American help and thus
support the French pOilu by his own
moderation and abstemiousness."

O. K. ON PAINT AND POWDER
Woman's Right to Improve Her Looks
II She Sees Fit to Do So,
Rules Court.

Cleveland, O.-Woman has perfect
right to powder and paint and wear
short skirts. 1t is womans right to
improve her looks with paint and pow
der if she sees fit to do so, and if the
style says that she shall show an ankle
or maybe more, then she may do that
also, and may wear skirts as short as
she wants to, as long as the police are
satisfied.
This, in brief, was Judge Levine's
finding in a suit for divorce brought
by Sander Ignatz against Mrs. Mary
Ignatz, his wife. Ignatz alleged cruelty
in his petition for separation from n
wife who painted and showed too
much of her anatomy to passersbT.
Ignatz must take her back or pay sep

 It was urged by Sir J.. FortescIia Flannery that under the custom of the board of trade by which a for eign ship was honored with medals or gold plate, the admiralty might do something of a similar nature in this connection.
 Thanks is Sufficient
 Sir Owen Philipps. chairman and managing director of the Union Castle line, to which the Glenart Castle be- longed announced that his company, which fully recognized the gallantry of these American sailors, had all ready approached the American ad- miral and asked permission to re- ward the men, but in a very nice letter, the admiral had said this could not be allowed.
 Mr. MacNamara replied that the admiralty had expressed it's very deep gratitude for the manner in this matter. He understood that the American authorities were averse to the award for personal distinctions and honors; nevertheless, if the ad- miralty could properly make any suggestion to them which would en- able it in a substantial way to em- phasize it's opinion. of this act of gallantry, it certainly would do so

PARIS, Tuesday, March 12-Four German machines brought down and fifteen trained aviators, mechanics and pilots killed or made prisoner were the German casualties in last nights air attack on Paris.
 The raid was attempted on a scale of magnitude hitherto unapproached, nine squadrons participating in the attack. Some of the machines followed the rivers Disc and Ourcq while others came along the Creil-Paris and Soisson Paris railroads.
 The percentage of the units that suc- ceeded in reaching Paris was small. The aerial defense has improved great ly since the time of former raids and many of the German machines were forced back and obliged to drop their cargoes of bombs in vacant fields in the suburbs.

 The American Red Cross was again prominent in rendering help to the wounded
 While the raid upon Paris was in progress, French machines executed a counter air offensive upon the enemy's airdromes from which the German raiders had started
 More than three tons of bombs were dropped on the Gothas' landing fields, and the probabilities seem to be that many of them made disastrous land- ings upon their return.

DRAFT PLAN CHANGE DELAYED UNTIL WAR
 SECRETARY RETURNS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Legisla- tion to change the system of apportion-s ing drafted men by making the basis the number of men in class one, in stead of the population of states, was held up in the house today with the filing of an adverse minority report by members of the military committee and by the statement of Chairman Dent that the measure would not be called up until after Secretary Bakers return from France.
 This will delay the second draft, as Provost Marshal General Crowder has announced that he will not go ahead with 1t until the law is changed.
 At the time the minority report was filed General Crowder was before the senate military committee urging speedy consideration of the measure and another to require registration of all men attaining 21 years of age since last June fifth. He appeared greatly concerned when he learned that the legislation was checked in the house.
 The senate has passed the bill to change the basis of apportionment and is expected to pass this week the measure registering the younger men. The house committee already has filed favorable majority report on the bill changing the apportionment.

 CREW IN PRISON
Republican A. P. Leased Wire] Scheme to Run Ship With Committee in Charge is Not Nautical But Naughty Holds Customs Collector

NORFOLK, Va. March 13.-Mem- hers of the crew of the Russian steamer Omsk, removed today oy Collector of Customs Hamilton at the request of Captain Edmund Yanvosky because of their Bolsheviki tendencies, on being paroled tonight by feedral authorities. armed themselves and made an effort to take the ship. The American armed port guard in charge of the vessel re- fused to allow the men aboard and po- lice reserves were sent to arrest them.
 When immigration authorities re- fused to take the men into custody warrants charging mutinous conduct were sworn out by Coiiector Hamilton and 49 sailors were taken from the ship by a squad of Norfolk police and locked up at the local police head quarters.
 Find Many Weapons
 Before the police arrived, however. the Russians defied the guard and boarded the ship without violence. Half a dozen port deputies were rushed to the ship and with the guard searched the Russians and their quarters. A large assortment of fire arms and knives was confiscated.
 Investigation by Collector Hamilton revealed that the Russians had sought to put the principles of the Bolsheviki into operation on the ship, demanding that the vessel be operated by com mittee of the crew with the captain deposed. They also wanted a 25 per cent increase in pay and threatened to land the ships cotton cargo in Russia instead of at Liverpool to which port it is consigned.
 How Trouble Started
 This action followed an outbreak on the ship after the arrival here a week ago. three members of the crew at that time driving the American port guard from the vessel. Force was threatened and the guard, one f-ian. was allowed to return unmolested. Captain Yan- vosky then called in Victor F.. Marts counsel to the Russian consulate at New York. for assistance in settling the trouble. but when no agreement could be reached, Collector Hamilton was asked 10 intervene.
 Return to Their Ship
 After an investigation the collector acting under the new port regulations issued by Secretary McAdoo, had the men removed from the ship and de- livered to Immigration Inspector Nor ton. All were paid of and the ma jority paroled under guard of a fed. eral agent, with the idea Of sending them back to Russia. It was these men who returned to the Ship an6 armed themselves.
 The three men who -.1ade a demon stration against the naval guard were arrested. They are John Bikov. Theo- dore Slenschenker and Alexander FL chenko. The first two signed on the vessel at Archangel. Russia, and Fl. chenko at New York. Five others found to be ineligible to entrance tt this country under the immigratior laws were also detained,
