able, an unusually large number be-
ing home at this time. One of these,
who Is home on furfough, has told of
his experiences as gunner on board
United States transport during the
war. He Is Oscar d. Nickle, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. J. Nickle, of 1105
Mayfower street. Gunner Nickle,
who is but Is years old. has been in
the service of the Navy for three
years and was formerly on the US. c.
Arkansas and Michigan. He has made
four trips between New York AMI
France in the past year on board the
transport Rappahannock. and rells
many a thrilling tale of meeting with
subs.
I'VE sailed from Brest coming over
this last time," said Gunner Nlckle
to-day, "and met the Presidents ship
about 1900 miles out. The weather
was so heavy at the time that we
were able to make only four knots"
When asked about his experiences
on board the transport, Mr.. NiclSle
said: THE only thrilling experience
1 could tell was when we made our
third trip last July. Although we
oftNl spotted things which were
taken to be subs and fired at them,
this was the only time had the sat
isfaction of knowing it was the gen
uine thing. and we put 1t out of
business.
I'VE were about 600 miles off the
coast OF France" continued Mr..
Nickle. There were altogether six
teen transports a cruiser and two de-
stroyers. We had not yet met our
convoy The sub was sighted on our
port bow. The signal was given on
all the transports to man the guns,
but the Rappahanpock was the only
one which fired. The range on the
sub was about 2.S00 yards. Half a
dozen shots did the trick. and in a
few minutes a destroyer was search
ing for signs of life where the sub
had formerly been. We were certain
1t was a sure hit, but the excitement
was intense for while. because we
had only the two destroyers with us"
Mr.. Nickle is a frst-class gun point
er with the rank or coXswain. He told
some interesting general information
of what happened on board a trans
port when a sub Is sighted. "All sus-
picious-looking objects sighted from
the foremast are reported to tn e
bridge If the captain or commanding
officers considers it too suspicious aft
CT looking 1t over through his glasses,
the order is given to fire. The range
is given by a man located in the |
crowsnest, but it generally takes two
or three experimental shots to fndi
the true range. The presence of subs |
was always made known by whistle |
signals. which gave the information
to all the ships. We generally sight /
ed the subs about daybreak."
Gunner Nickle also has a brother
and brother-in-law in the service. |
Both belong to the same company and |
have gone "over the top" three times !
in the same engagemnts. Corporal
Loomis o. Nickle is the brother and
Sergeant John r. Mcneil is the broth |
er-in-law. Both are members of
Company c, Three Hundred and Six |
teenth Infantry, and both reside in !
this city.

To those pedagogues occupying
chairs in university and college fac
ulties who are confusing loose express
sion with freedom of speech there has
come some salutary advice from
committee Of their own brethren ap-
pointed to donate a formula of academ-
ic liberty. Summed up in sentence
or two, the muddy-minded were told
that "the public safety is the supreme
law in time of war;" and that "those
who refuse to do their duty, whatever
their motives are in a very practical
sense enemies Of the state" Ac-
acknowledgement and acceptance Of these
truths should also be made by those
responsible for the printing of certain
intellectual periodicals, so-called in
melancholy queerness, says Cincinnati
Enquirer. Disturbed by changed con-
ditions, they should hold their peace
and remember the words Of Ralph
Waldo Emerson: "War disorganizes,
but 1t is to reorganize."

Are You One of Them?

There are great many people who
would be very much benefited by tax
ing Chamberlain Tablets for weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. NJ R. Scarf, Baldwins-
vile, N. Y, relates her experience in
the use of these tablets: Il had bad
spell with my stomach about six
months ago, and was troubled for two
or three weeks with gas and severe
pains in the pit of my stomach. Our
druggist advised me to take Chamber
lain's Tablets. I took a bottle home
and the first dose relieved me wonder
fully, and | kept on taking them until
| was cured" These tablets do not re-
leve pain, but after the pain has been
relieved may prevent its recurrence.

1t Is mistake to say Of soldier
that he is simply cog, or spoke in

than part of machine, says Knox.
vile Journal and Tribune. There are
times when it behooves' the individual
soldier to think and to do it quickly.
The Americans in the trenches have
been given credit for being men of
superior makeup. Their accredited SUI
periority consists in alertness. Be-
sides being cogs in wheels, they are in
dividual entities. They have a per-
sonal sense Of what they are doing,
and If an advantage of an occasion Is
to be seen they see it. The German
soldier may be thinker, but his mind
is more sluggish, he must have time
to think. He is not man to act upon
the spur of the moment. Such dis
position comes to him from education,
he is not expected to do such a thing
as Independent thinking. There is but
one man in Germany who can think
Independently, that is the kaiser. 1t
may not be treason there to think diff
ferently from the kaiser; but the man
who might do that and speak as he
