Landed in Germany.


They had a coolie crew on the Var
rowdale and when they routed them
on deck the coolies began to pray, and
though it is nothing to laugh at could
not help but chuckle at the way some
of them went about talking to their
various gods. They were beginning to
smell danger and were pretty nervous.
Every one of the coolies had a cane
and a pair of Palm Beach trousers.
The Huns were loading them in the
lifebOatS to be taken back to the
Moewe with their sea bags and one Of
them got too nervous and was slow
about getting into the lifebOat, so the
Germans shot him without saying a
word.
Then the Germans called out the
names of those who had volunteered to
go stoking and this included me. We
were drilled down the fiddley into the
fire room. The fiddley is a shaft that
runs from fhe main deck of ship to
the engine room. / looked around,
bit and saw a German standing not
very far from the fiddley, so I asked
him if we would be given shoes. He
said no. Then / asked him if we had
to fire in our fare feet and he said
yes-that we did not need shoes. Then
he went into the engine room.
l looked at the narrow passage he
went through and at the narrow pas
sage of the fiddley to the main deck
and I talked to my feet like I used to

just when a man had begun to lose
his mind. He would seem just like
the rest of US, because none of us was
much better than beast.
We could not take turns sleeping
and standing watch against the crazy
men, because when we talked about
it, we agreed that none Of us could
tell whether or not the sentries would
go crazy while on watch and have the
rest of us at their mercy. 1t was aw-
full to talk about going crazy in this
way, and to figure that you yourself
might be the next, and that it was al
most sure to happen If you did not
get some sleep soon. But it was worse
to find man near you going, and have
to boot him out with the other insane
men.
The days passed like that, with
nothing to do but suffer, and starve
and freeze. 1t got colder and colder,
and all we could wrap ourselves in
was the coal. We began to speculate
on where we were. It was not till
later than an old skipper in our bunch
told us that we had rounded the north
ern coast of Iceland.
Finally, one day, a lad yelled down
'Land!" and we all dove for the i'd
dley like wild men, and those who
could get near enough looked out, and
sure enough there was the coast Of
Norway, very rugged and rocky and
covered with snow. We thought it
was all over then, and that we would
be landed at Bergen sure. Then there
was the usual running around and
yelling on deck, and we were not so
sure we would be landed, and very
suddenly it got colder than ever.
1 was in the fiddley, aching to get
out, and ready for anything that
might happen, when the door opened
suddenly and Badewitz grabbed me,
and asked me in English if I was a
quartermaster. l said yes, and he
pulled me by the arm to cabin. l
did not know what was going to hap
pen, but he took an oilskin from the
wall and told me to put it on.
There were two sailors there also,
and they put life belts on, and then
was more puzzled than ever. and

the ship. And going down on a ship in
which you are a prisoner is quite diff
ferent from going down with one for
which you have been fighting You
arrive at the same place, but the feel
ing is different
Some of us thought of overpowering
the crew and taking the vessel into our
own hands, and we got the rest of
the sane or nearly sane men together
and tried to get up a scheme for doing
1T. l was strong for the plan and so
were several others, but the Limey of.
ficerS who were with us advised
against it. They said the Germans
were taking US to a neutral country,
where we would be interned, which
was just what the Germans had told
US, but what few of us believed.
Then some others said that if we
started anything the Germans would
fire the time bombs. We replied that
at least the Germans would go west
with us, but they could not see that
there was any glory in that. For my
self, / thought the Germans would not
fire the bombs until the last minute,
and that we would have a chance at
the boats before they got all of us
anyway. There were only thirteen
German sailors on board, besides their
commander. This last Hun was
named Badewitz.
So the pacifists ruled, because we
could not do anything unless we were
all together, and there was no mutfny.
They said we were hotheads, the rest
OF us, but still think we could have
made dash for it and overpowered
our SentrieS, and either gone over 4&e
side with the lifeboats, or taken oFar
the whole ship. 1t would have haen
better for us if we had tried, and If
the pacif1sts had known what was
coming to us they would have fred
the time bombs themselves rather
than go on into that future. How
ever, that is split milk
We were not allowed to OPEN the
portfolios while we were in the bunk
ers, under penalty of death, and there
in the dark, in that stinking air. it is;
no wonder many of us went crazy.
Among us was a fellow named Har-
ringtOn, about six feet tall and weigh
ing $50 pounds. He seemed to be all
right mentally, but some of us
thought afterwards he was crazy.
anyway, 1 do not blame him for what
he did. Harrington rushed up the
4ddley and opened the door, There
was German sentry there, and Har-
rfngton made swing at him and then
grabbed his bayonet. The sentry
yelled and some others came down
from the bridge and shot Harrington
through the hand. After they had
beaten Harrington pretty badly, the
bull of the bunch, Badewitz himself,
came over and hammered Harrington
all around the deck. Then they put
him in irons and took him TO the chart
room.
The next day we were Sitting in the
tiddley getting warm when the door
opened and there was Baf1ewitz. He
yelled 'Heraus!" and began firing at
US with revolver, so we beat it back
onto the coal. Pretty soon the dec.

WORKERS TO GIVE
 PERCENTAGE TO
 WAR CHEST FUND

Already evidences have reached headquarters of the United War Work Campaign that the wage earners of the community are taking hold of the plan of giving one cent on a dollar for a period of twenty weeks as their representation in the great work for the boys Over There.
 The plan is being put through the factories by their own patriotic com mittees, appointed by the workers themselves and these committees are sending in wonderful reports of the spirit in which the plan is being re- eeived. An instance of this is the Bilton Machine Tool Co.,, with its hundreds of employees, which today put the plan over with a hundred per cent. in few hours.
 Yesterday morning the manage ment of this concern called a meeting of about twenty of the employees and outlined the proposition of the Indus trial Committee to send a represen- tattve to the factory at 5 o'clock last night to instruct them on the detail of the scheme.
 The Industrial Committee compiled with it's request by sending a member of the committee to the factory al the appointed hour and instead of ad- vising the committee how to proceed the committee member was confront ed with the information that prac- tically 100 per cent. had been reached in nearly all departments and the balance would be closed this morning. At an early hour this morn ing headquarters were notified that a hundred per cent. mark had beer l reached

A COALITION PARTY?

If, as seems probable ct this writ ing, the Republicans control both the House and the Senate, they will pos sess the power to block all the plans for legislation proposed by the ad- ministration. They can make 1t i'm possible for the President to carry on the government of the country dur ing a period when wise, strong and responsible government will he more necessary than 1t was after the Civil War, Peculiarly embarrassing to MT. Wilson will be the inevitable appoint ment to the chatrmanship of the Sen ate Committee on Foreign Relations of his most en1bittered personal and political opponent, MT, Roosevelt ex- cepted, It looks, consequently, as if in addition to the other distractions of the next two years, the country viii be treated to a fierce and pro- tracted quarrel between the executive and legislative branches of the gov ernment similar to that which oc- cured between President. Jackson and a Whig Congress. But there will probably be one important difference between the two cases. We doubt whether all the Democrats will line up on one side of this quarrel and all the Republicans on the other The two existing parties both contain re-
 actionary and progressive minds, and the pressure for the pregressives of | both parties to work together and
 against the reaetionaries will be ire sistible. The Republican party will l contain the larger infusion of non-
 progresSiYeS, but if it's leadership con- 1 tinues to be as unenlightened and re- actionary as it has been recently, it
 will sacrifice a part of its former fol-
 lowing in the western states.---The l New Republic.
