HIS DUEL WITH DEATH.

London, Feb. 27.-Londcn papers are printing the story of one of the most miraculous escapes of the war that a submarine sailor who was locked in the vessel as she sank to the bottom of the English channel The rest of the crew and the officers escaped by way of the conning-tow CT, rising up through 100 feet of wat CT to the surface, where destroyers picked them up.
 One man, however. was locked away in the engine room, so that he could not avail himself oe the con ning-tower exit. A latch above him would not open owing to the weight of the water bearing down upon it The sailor made a last desperate effort to force it by opening the seacecks and letting the water flood the compartment.
 Gradually the water rose about his knees, his waist, his shoulders. The air compressed in the narrowing space between the water and the roof of the submarine made him almost lose consciousness.
 But the Hong chance" he had taker proved wise, for just as the water reached his mouth he managed to throw his last strength into another effort at raising the hatch. The com. pressed air lifted the hatch with a bang and shot the man like an arrow up through the water to the sur face of the channel. Not long after wards ne was rescued by passing vessel

TWO BILLION MARKS
 FOR HUN INTEREST

Amsterdam, Feb. 27.-Count von Roe dern, the ineprial secretary of the treasury, in the budget debate in the reichstag said that the additional requirement of 100000 marks over 1917 was due mainly to the in-- crease in the interest on war loans. He declared that no funds for war costs were asked in the present bud get.
 Dealing with the principal items in the budget, Count von Roedern said that the yield from war profits tax would exceed 5,550,000, ,o00 marks, and the coal tax 70,000,000 a month. He added:
 "We hope in consequence of the vo- tes of recent years to emerge from the war without uncovered deficits. Fresh taxation proposals will be submitted to the reichstag by Easter. Our ene- mics oin the west front will not be left in doubt regarding our will and power to stand a final battle on this front, too. Deposits in German credit banks again have increased during the past year by several billion and sav- ings banks credits after writing off all war loan subscriptions, have ris- en 3,500,O00 marks"

CONSCRIPT ALL MEN NEEDED

Congress should pass a law at once, providing for the registration of all males between the ages of 17 and 45 years of age. and the con scription of all who may be needed in any branch of the service. Only in this way will the government be able to get all the men wanted in needed war industries. and only in this way can the men be placed where they are most needed.
 Under the selective draft men needed in communities are being talk en, while others who could be spared very we'll are permitted to remain at home. The selective draft is all richt. but it doesn't go fal enough. What is needed is law that will let Uncle Sam say who shall go and shall stay, and send the individual into the place where he can render the most efficient service.
