The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1918-10-05

In the morning 1 had a regular ban
quet for breakfast-eggs. coffee, bread
and a small glass of wine. Even now,
although / never pass up a meal, that
breakfast is still easy to taste, and /
sometimes wish l could enjoy another
meal as much. But l guess 1 never
shall have one that goes as good.
After breakfast they took me out ON
the steps of the hall and photographed
me, after which l went to the railway
station, with a young mob at my heels.
1t reminded me a bit of Germany-it
was so different. Instead of bricks
and bayonet jabs, the mob gave me
cigarettes and chocolate and sand
witches. They also handed me ques-
tions-enOugh TO keep me busy an
swering to this day if / could.
1 got on the train to Zurich, and at
every stop on the way there were more
presents and more cameras and more
questions. At st. GaIlen they had
cards ready for me to write on, and
then they were going to send them to
anybody 1 wished. The station at
Zurich was packed with people, and
began to think l was a star for sure.
Francis b. Keene, the American con-
SUI general at Zurich, and his assist
9nt, were there to meet me. We
walked a few blocks to his Office, and
all the way the cameras were clicking
and the chocolates and cigarettes pill
ing up until / felt like Santa Claus on
December 24th. After a little talk
with Mr.. Keene, he took me to the
Stussehof hotel, where my wounds
We're dressed-and believe me, they
needed 1t.
The Swiss certainly treated me well.
Every time l came out on the streets
they followed me around. and they
used to give me money. But the money
might just as well have been leather
or lead-I could not spend it. When
" | wanted to buy anything the
shopkeeper would make me a present
Of it.

Would Not Part with Hoe.

Cass Gillespie of Falmouth. KY, who
can grow tobacco easier than any man
In the country, and usually sells out
before he cuts it, say he turned down
a tempting offer the other day to sell
his crop. The deal was called off on
account of the buyer insisting Of
Gillespie throwing in his faithful old
hoe. Cass says that he has raised
40 crops of tobacco with this same
hoe, and the old tool is the secret Of
his great success.

DOUGH Saved the Ship.

"Saved by a ton of dough" might be
the title for an account of the adven-
lures of the steamship Armenia in the
submarine zone. The vessel was struck
by a torpedo. Aboard was an armed
guard of American seamen under the
command of Chief BOatswain's Mate
Stief Homiak, U. S. N. The naval men
made all preparations for placing the
passengers in l~ifeboats, for the ship
had a wide breach below the water
line and a second torpedo was momen-
tarily expected; but they did not in
tend TO abandon theiE vessel until they
were sure it was going to sink. Going
below they succeeded in checking the
inflow of water TO some extent by a
patch made of a collision mat and
some pieces of canvas, but there was
still a formidable leak. Thereupon the
sailors proceeded to smash open a
large number Of barrels of flour which
they found in the hold and shoveled
this material into the breach. Soon it
was filled with an enormous mass of
dough, which so ~effectually checked
the leak that the ship was brought into
port by her resourceful crew.

ISLANDERS 10 GOOD WORK
RECOVERING TIE BODIES

Island of Islay, Scotland, Oct. II
Friday) lit had been planned to bury
the Otranto victims alorside the Tus-
cania's dead, but this was found inn
practicable, owing to the lack of trans
port to that point, which is seven miles
from the scene of the Otranto wreck.
Excellent police arrangements were
made for the recovery of the bodies
The chief constable organized the is
landers into squads Of thirty and as
sembled them at various sections, so
that the entire coast in the region of
the wreck had been covered. The
constable also arranged for the maxi
ing of hundreds of small bags into
which the personal effects found on
each body will be carefully enclosed
and labelled for shipment home.
Last Friday was pay day on the
Otranto, and most of the soldiers had
money in their possession.
Capt Ernest Davidson of the Ctran
to, who is an American. said the Of
forts of the islanders TO care for the
survivors and to recover the dead was
nothing short of heroic. Two soldiers,
Earl Carver and Noah Taylor. who
are still on the island owe their lives
to the Rev. Donald Grant and his wife
who labored hours to resuscitate them
When brought ashore the men We're
almost dead.
All the survivors on the island are
expected to recover Three are suffer-
ing from bronchitis and one with al
broken arm.

confirmation of the sinking in the

vessel, the message stated, followed a
collision with another ship in the

The ca'blegram gave no estimate of
the number of soldiers who were
missing In the absence of specific
information as to what units had
been assigned to the Otranto as the
port of embarkation, General March,
chief of staff, declines to make pub
