The Hospitable Gate
BY ABBIE ARWEl BROWN
Of The vigilantes.

Millions entered by that Hospitable
Gate which America left open to the
strangers from all lands. Millions of
the poor, the friendless, the war
weary. to whom America offered pros
perity. friendship and peace. They
came from the ends Of the earth. Ser
bians. Greeks. French. Russians, Ital-
ians, ArmenianS, Poles-a hundred
races and more jostled over the
threshold. We welcomed them all
too readily. some thought, fearing for
our "unguarded gates.'' as one poet
called them. Many had not, as an
other poet accused, sufficient faith in
the miscalled "scum Of the EARTH"
Many OF these became citizens, and
In turn helped to order the affairs Of
the great government which had
opened its door to them. Some re-
NAMED aliens. But all profited by our
laws and opportunities.
There came war! The worst war
which the world has ever known. A
war Of right against wrong; and pres
emily America vas In 1t. But first
by thousands our friends went back
through the Hospitable Gate. Serbians,
Greeks. Russians, French, Italians
how many more ?-returned to the
countries they had never renounced,
to fight for the freedom Of small ma
against a tyrant foe who threat
ened the very existence OF liberty.
Out OF Hospitable Gate they went,

The news Of what American democracy
means. They bore living witness Of
the American idea to the struggling
small nations. In the martyred small

IN the trenches OF Belgium: IN the
lideous German prisons where Rus

SUBMARINE MENACE
IS DWINDLING FAST

to make the passage of conveys across
the Atlantic and North sea secure. The
greatest percentage of losses by sub
marines since January / has been in
the Mediterranean, and this is now be-
ing reduced by Increasing the number
OF deStroyerS in those waters. No sub
marine commander will risk attack on
a convoy which is protected on all four
sides by destroyers and frequently &C
companied by seaplanes.
Naval experts are confident that
when there are sufficient destroyers to
escort all conveys required to trans
poet troops and munitions from Amer
lea to England and France the subma-
rine peril will be practically at an end.
This stage should be reached by Au-
gust. At the present time the U-boats
watch and wait for vessels which are
alone.
The sinking of vessels in the Irish
sea has been due to the fact that the
Mater there is muddy and not too deep,
and a submarine can lie on the bottom

In two instances. when steamships

stroyerS blew n U-boat to pieces with
a depth charge and damaged the other
one SO seriously before she could SUBJ
merge that the commander surren-
dered with his crew.
Pilots of seaplanes and airplanes
who fly Ove the waters around the
Isles have reported numbers of
submarines which were sunk months
ago and are lying on the bottom Of the
channel and North sea.
In addition to d~estroyers and patrol
boats which scour the surface in every
direction. there are all kinds of traps
and obstacles placed under water
which make the passage of Dover

Sea Mine Sweepers do Good

LondOn.-The menac Of the Ger
man submarines and mines to the
maritime commerce Of the allies is be-
coming less week by week. The i'm
provement Is due chiefly to the deyel-
opment OF the listening devices and the
depth bombs carried on the swift-moy-
Ing destroyers. The %hydrophone is the
most useful invention that has been
discovered by the navy in its antisub-
marine crusade, and it is being i'm
proved upon all the time.
When a U-boat is spotted from aloft
by n of the alert observers in the
seaplanes which wing their flight over
\ North sea and the waters around
n British Isles, he signals the posi-
ton to the nearest destroyer. Direct
~ he gets this information her COM
mander steams at full speed in the di-
rection indicated until he can hear the
submarine plugging along under water.
The destroyer follows the U-boat for
hours, It = necessary, until the COM
mander thinks he has got the enemy in
the right position for a hit, and then
lets go the bomb.
While the number of enemy under
sea craft that are sunk or captured
eaeh month is not given out for publ
cation it Is known that it equals the
construction of submarines in Ger
many. The greatest blow to German
hopes of destroying the commerce of
the allies on the ocean lies in the con-
voy system. which Is rapidly approach
Ing perfection. When the plan of es-
corting transports and supply ships
right across the Atlantic In large fleets
was first tried out there was consid-
cradle delay on account of difference
in speed of the various ships Of which
1t was Composed.
At the present time conveys are all
classified according to speed, and a
fast transport can make a round trip
In 80 days, while the slower class OF
supply ships drift across the ocean at
a steady six or seven-knot gait.
The number of British and American
destrOyers has increased rapidly and
is still growing SO that there are plenty

a very complicated problem for a
U-bOat commander to solve. Hundreds
OF mine sWeeperS, manned by fisher
men and sailors from the merchant
service, are at work day and night
making the ocean lanes safe for steam
ships belonging to the allies and neu-
trail nations. Their crews have become
adopts in the art of finding and eX-
ploding German mines hidden below
the surface.
During the year ending In April more
than 1000 mines, which cost $1,000
each to construct. We're exploded or
captured by the British mine sweepers.
The loss of mine sweepers was very
small in comparison. In one instance
q mine sweeper found a German mine
drifting in the North sea, and towed it
over well in toward the mouth Of Elbe
under v Of fog. After pumping it
up the crew set the mine 20 feet below
the surface, and II hours later it was
struck by a German steamship bound
for Gothenberg from Bremen, and the
vessel and her cargo of iron ore went
to the bottom.

Meriem was not for him-not for the

least do all that lay in his power to
assure happiness to her. He would fol-

Jealousy wrenched his heart, he would

made no move to leave camp. Korak
wondered II Meriem were coming there.
A little later Hanson and one Of his
black boys rode out of camp. Korak
merely noted the fact. He was not
interested in the doings Of
any other member Of the company than
the young Englishman.

Ing something. It was equally evident
that the girl was holding back. There
were many OF her gestures. and the
way In which she tossed her head up
and to the right, Uplifting her chin,
that reminded Korak strongly OF Me-
riem. And then the conversation wa
over. and the man took the girl in his
arms again to kiss her goodby.
She turned and rode toward the
point from which she had come. The
man sat his horse watching her. At
the edge Of the jungle she turned to
wave him q llnal farewell.
Tonight !" she cried, throwing back
her head rs she called the words to
him across the little distance which
separated them-throwing back her
head and revealing her face for the
first time to the eyes Of the Killer in
the tree above.
KOrak started as though pierced
through the heart with an arrow. He
trembled and shook like a leaf. He
closed his eyes, pressing his palms
across them, and then he opened them
again and looked.
But the girl was gone. Only the
waving foliage Of the jungle's rim
marked where she had disappeared.

should have been resting against the
forced marches Of the coming flight.
Hanson lay In his hammock and smok-

stretched upon q branch among the
dense foliage above them.
In the garden beside the bungalow
Meriem wandered thoughtfully in the
moonlight. She still smarted from
Bwana's, to her, unjust treatment Of
the Hon. Morrison Baynes.
Meriem loved them both and was
grateful to them for all that they had
done for her. but deep in her heart
surged the savage love Of liberty that
her years Of u~ntrammeled freedom In
the Jungle had made part and parcel Of
her being. Now. for the first time
since she had come to them, Meriem
felt like q prisoner In the bungalow Of
Bwana and My Dear.
Like q Gagged tigress the girl paced
the length Of the Enclosure. Once she
paused ear the outer fence. her head
