Almost Lost Precious Card.

One of those absentee r~egiStrants'
signed up at the city postofice one
day last week, and received his reg
istration card for transmission to his
local board in his home town.
This man must have been an absent
minded registrant as well, IS the Sc
quel will show. He calmly placed the
registration card in an envelope, adj
dressed the envelope to his local
board, put on the stamp, and walked
out into the street.
As he passed a trash box he dropped
the letter into the opening and went
his way with a clear conscience of
having done his first duty under the
man power law.
Luckily for him, q postman coming
out of the building saw the mistake
he made and rescued the letter from
the trash. BY this time the registrant
had boarded a car, so the letter car
rier dropped the letter containing the
precious card into the letter box

CERTAIN DEATH IN SORTIt
SEEN BY HIGH SEAS FLEET

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 20. - The
attempt of officers of the German
high seas fleet to make a suicidal
sortie against the British grand
fleet before the armistice was
signed is characterized by the Ber-
lin Vorwaerts as "the last devil
ish crime against the German peo-
pie that sealed the doom of the
pan-Germans." Refusal of the
sailors to go put and fight is re-
garded as the first step toward the
Geran revolution.
This mutiny is described by the
vorwaerts as IAN act of self-de-
tense by $4,000 men against the
villainous pan-German plan.
"To understand the position"
continues the newspaper, "it is
necessary to go back to the fever
ish propaganda by the pan-Ger-
mans at the end of October for a
so-called national fight of despair.
To save their necks they conceiv-
ed the idea of batting the people
into a forlorn hope which could
only end in complete extermina-
ton.

900 sailors did not concern

AD MIRAlTI
REPORTS EXPLOITS
Of DECOy SHIPS
DURING WAR

LONDON, Dec. 81. = One of the
most exciting chapters OF the war
against German U-boats is a series
of accounts of notable engage
ments between British decoy ships
and the submarines, made public
by the British admiralty. While
the whole story of the part played
by these decoy vessels, mystery
ships or 20" craft has not been
revealed, it is evident that several
of them were used to lure the
Hun undersea craft to their de-
struction.
Some incidents in this campaign
already have been made known,
dealing chiefly with a few of the
exploits of Commander Gordon
Campbell as master of the decoy
vessels, but others in which he and
other captains participated now are
available. That at least a small
fleet was used in this work is ev-
ident from the fact that Campbell
at different times appears as the
master of the Marlborough, the
Pargust, the Dunraven and the
Q-5.
The Price, another decoy ship,
was commanded by Lieutenant
William E. Sanders and the Stock
Force by Lieutenant Harold Auten.
Stories of the encounters be-
tween these ships and the U-boats
are filled with deeds of heroism
and instances in which the disci-
pline of the British navy was dis
played under trying circumstances.
For many months the decoy ships,
heavily armed but with their guns
hidden behind false ~bulwarks,
steamed on zig-zag paths in
the seas which we're the hunting
grounds of the submarine.
In their character of lazy GOLFERS
or slow cargo craft they presented
to the submorine commander an
inviting object Of attack, but once
he was within range of the Brit
ish guns the false superstructure
hiding the guns fell away and the
helpless collier became suddenly
transformed into a fighting craft
bent on destruction.
1t was dangerous work, requiring
a high order of courage, for the
submarine must be lured near be-
fore the guns could safely begin
their work. Meantime the Hun
frequently had sent his torpedo
home and the decoy ship was dis
abled, sometimes on fire and part
of her crew wounded. In hat
condition the battle was fought
and often the submarine destroyed.
panic parties" was one of the
ruses practiced by the decoy ships
commander to coax the submarine
alongside. When the mystery ship
was t%orpedoed these panic parties
took to the boats, apparently aban-
doning their vessel, but always
leaving on board another crew to
man the guns and finish the sub
marine if it came near enough.
The first encounter mentioned
by the admiralty took place in
March, 1918, when the Farnbor-
ough, disguised as a collier, was
attacked by a submarine. The
"panic party took to the boats
and when the submarine closed in
to about 500 yards the Farnbor-
ough opened fire on her. The
U-boat submerged and the Farm
borough passed over her, dropping

LONDON FLAGS SHOW
BRITISH FEELING

LONDON, Dec. 30. - If there

United States in England the flags

such a marvel of cloth.
Hardly a house, however small
and humble, in the whole more
than 2O-mile radius of the largest
city in the world was without its
decorations. And the Stars an
Stripes were more conspicuous
than any flag except the Union
Jack.
Wherever two flags hung togeth-
or the American emblem was one
of them. The French flag ranked

Walking through the streets the
American colors saluted the eye
everywhere.
Big ones, large enough to hide
an ordinary house, hung in front
of hotels, department stores and
factories. Many people of the hun
dreds and thousand who tied flags
tc their hats and coats and UNI
brellas, wen to their d. gs sported
the Stars and Stripes. They were
particularly popular with the girls,
but workmen, old ladies and Brit
ish soldiers wore them. This
seems to spell appreciation.
Some of the sadder newspapers

fixing. President Wilson months ago fixed $2.20 bushel as the price for 1918. An advance beyond that point was opposed by the food administra- tor who considered that it was not necessary and therefore unwarranted. Congress has not undertaken to regu- late prices in other respects and there is no reason for departing from the rule in this instance. If it should es- tablish the habit there is no telling where it would end or where prices might go. The need now is to keep prices within the bounds of reason, to knock out the profiteers and to over come needless expenditures. A high price for wheat means greater ex- pense not only at home but to our all lies and such would mean higher cost of living and increased foreign loans. It is time when justice for all should prevail and the $220 bushel appears to render that.
