There is little weekly newspaper called
Emergency Fleet News that comes to
The Forum office, and which makes most
interesting reading. Its columns are be-
coming as thrilling as the sporting page
used to be before the war, for they are de-
voted almost exclusively to reports of con-
tests of various kinds between the men
in American shipyards
Not very long ago it was thought impos-
sible to complete ship in less than six
months When a steel vessel was launched
just 90 days after the keel was laid, it
caused comment from coast to coast. Then
the Pacific coast shipbuilders hit their
stride and began clipping days off the rec
ord. One Seattle yard launched ship in
SIS days and another came back with 81
days, followed by one in IS days All these
records were being held by the Pacific
coast yards.
Now read what this weekly newspaper OF
Uncle Sam S has to say about the new kind
of outdoor sport:
Meanwhile, however, the worlmen in the
Camden plant Of the New York shipbuilding
corporation We're eager to take up the chal-
lenge. The yard has been growing rapidly in
the last year ana the WoTklng Lorce now -
almost double that Of a few months ago. When
the keel OF the Tuckahoe laid down on
April s. the management Of the plant checked
up on available material and decided that the
time was ripe to go after the record BY
system of schedule charts they estimated that
the Tuckahoe could be built in q days. hours
and SO minutes, and they made so bold as to
inform officials of the Emergency Fleet corpor-
alton that they expected to send the vessel down
the Delaware in that time. officials. however,
counted without their host because their work
men, catching the spirit OF patriotic rivalry,
outdid themselves
Every man was his toes from the start Of
every eight-hour working shift They hardly
took time to eat. Leaving the job for half an
hour for lunch. the men actually ran back to
the ship; The pace grew hotter and hotter as
the steel walls began to climb. and when the
launching date grew near the vessel not only
was ready for launching. but it was found that
there was time left to install additional equip
nnent.
The workers went over the top hour and 40
minutes ahead of their scledule--the fastest
schedule ever set ia steel ghipyard.

and first served England the He was a
midshipman the Britannia.
In South Africa and the Soudan in 1874 he
served as a cavalryman with the Eighth Hus-
sars. He headed army corps in 1901 and in

Nezcs and Comment

The desire to make epigrams is costly on
friendships in private life, but in public
life it is disastrous.
Mr.. George Creel seems to have a con-
Stunning desire to make epigrams. Because
he was "proud Of his country's unpre-
paredness" he was pilloried from coast to
coast as disloyalist. He wasn't disloyal
in that remark-just trife silly.
Now he has had to apologize to congress
because during Sunday night address in
a New York church he was asked if all the
members Of congress have loyal hearts
and replied that he didn't know, as he
didn't like Summing and never explored
the hearts of congressman. -
Of course congressman and senator's are
fair game for anybody outside of official
life. We liked the remark credited to a,
Chicago dramatic critic who visited the
senate chamber for the first time, and see
ing some senators busy at their desks, ex-
claimed: "My Lord, some of them can
write"
The epigram habit is dangerous enough
in private life, but when man steps into
the public imclight, he should quit playing
with fire.

Mr.. Bennett accomplished the seemingly
impossible task Of actively directing the
affairs OF great Caily newspaper from a
distance Of 5000 miles. He rarely visited
New York, making his home in Paris, but
at intervals of year or two would descend
upon The Herald Office and leave a trail
of palpitating hearts behind him. When
he left there might be an entirely new staff
in certain departments. One story of him
is that he dismissed the music critic be-
cause he was "such funny looking man"
and put the financial editor in his place
A copy boy, who in great haste projected
himself into the pit of Mr.. Benefits
stomach, was promoted on the spot for his
energy.
A reporter who got wind of Mr.. Ben
nett's coming and greeted him at quaran-
tine, was elevated to the position of man
aging editor. .l...--..
A greatly worried editor cabled him for
directions as to policy in an important
crisis, and received cabled order for two
American hooking birds to be sent to Paris
at once. ."
Never very admirable figure, he was
always spectacular. He sent Stanley to
Africa to find Livingstone, and when he
returned in triumph, assigned him to po-
lice court "beat" to keep him humble. The
story Of his famous duel was the gossip Of
a nation. He challenged the brother of his
fancee as the result Of a horse whipping
incident, and when the brother fired first
and missed Mr.. Bennett fired in the air.
Mr.. Bennett was certainly not the most
loved or the most respected Of the famous
journalists Of the latter part of the last
century, but he was far from being the
least interesting.

CHAPTER XIV.

When we had been on the shore
for about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
/ ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at it full blast, and the
noise was worse than deafening.
A section of my company was lying
out in a shell hole near the commu-
nication trench with nothing to do
but wait for shell to find them. We
were stiff and thirsty and uncomfort-
able, and had not slept for two nights.
In that time we had been under con-
slant fire and had stood off several
raiding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches.
We had no sooner got used to the
shell hole and were making ourselves
as comfortable as possible in it when
along came shell of what must have
been the Jack Johnson size, and we
were swamped. We had to dig three
of the men out, and though one of
them was badly wounded we could not
send him back to the hospital. In
fact. the Smelling was SO heavy that
none Of us ever expected to come out
OF II alive.

think would get through, but finally,
when / reached what had been the
communication trench [ felt / had
done the worst part of it, and began
to wish very hard that I would get
through was not at all crazy about
going west.
The mouth of the communication
trench had been battered in and the
trenches it joined with were all filed
up. There were rifles sticking out
of them il several places, and !
thought probably the men had been
buried alive in them. But it was too
late then, If they had been caught, so
climbed over the blocked entrance tC
the communication trench and started
back along 1t. 1t led up through sort
of gully, and I thought it was bad
place to dig communication trench
in, because it gave the Turks some
thing like the side of hill to shoot at.
Every once in while would have
to climb in and out Of a she'll hole,
and parts of them were blocked where
a shell had caved in the walls. In one
place saw corpses all torn to pieces,
so I knew the Turks had found the
range and had got to this trench In
great shape. At another place found
lots of blood and equipment but no
bodies, and I figured that reinforce
ments had been caught at this spot
and that they had retired, taking their
casualties with them.
| The Turks still had the range, and
they were sending a shell into the
trench every once in a while, and .
was knocked down again, though the
shell was so far away that it knocked
me down with force of habit more
than anything else. I felt dizzy and
shivered a lot, and kept trying to think
of Murray or anything else but myself.
So finally I got to the top of the
little hill over which the gully ran,
and on the other side I felt almost
safe. Just down from the crest of the
hill was one of our artillery positions
with the good old "75s" giving it to the
Turks as fast as they could. told
the artillery officers what had hap
pened, had a drink of water and
thought I would take nap. But when
they telephoned the message back to
division headquarters the man at the
receiver said something to the officer
and he told me to stay there and be
ready. l thought sure he would send
me back to where I came from and
knew never could make it again,
but I did not say anything.

/ Inc man was telling us that scrne
time before they had seen the Turks
bringing up ammunition from some
, storehouses, but they did not come
anywhere near. He said their sergeant
wanted our messenger to tell them
that, too. He would say few words
very fast, then he would shiver again,
and his jaws would clip together and
he would try to raise his hand, but
could not.
Then our sergeant asked the name
of the other sergeant, and when the
man told him he said the man was
senior to himself and therefore In
command and would have to be obeyed.
He seemed to cheer up lot after
he said this and did not shiver any
more, so I thought I would volunteer
