American Destroyers in Submarine
Zone Cover Many Miles
IA n

Some indication of the ceaseless
watch kept on the high seas, in the
path of American troopships, by the
United States naval forces operating
In European waters, may be gained
from statistics just compiled at the
naval headquarters in London. These
statistics show that single force of
American destroyers- operating from
one base had steamed almost 1901
600 miles up to April /. The max
imum distance covered by a. single
destroyer was more than $4,000
miles from May l, 1917, to April 1,
1918. This destroyer was one of the
first to arrive abroad after war was
declared.
1t has been announced that Vice
Admiral William S. Sims, command
ing United States naval forces abroad
offered to send an auxiliary force
| composed of naval units to the
French front at the beginning of the
German offensive. The chief of staff
of the French Navy and General Foch
did not consider that the circumstan-
ces demanded the presence of such a
force at the front
The French have had a naval divi-
sion operating in the-forces of the
Lorraine sector for some time, and
the naval units have made their part
of the line as ship-shape as possible,
with everything from big naval guns
down to sleeping hammocks and the
ships cats.

England for temporary training OF

A nurse from the hospital had re-
lieved Diane and Sheba at daybreak.
They slept 1ntil the middle of the aft
ernOon, then under orders from the
doctor walked out to take the air. The
fever of the patient was subsiding. He
slept a good deal. and In the intervals
between had been once or twice quite
rational.
The thoughts of the cousins drew
their steps toward the jail. Sheba
looked at Diane.
"Will they let us pass, do you
think?
perhaps. We can try"
Gopher Jones was not proof against
the brisk confidence with which Mrs.
Paget demanded admittance.
The prisoner was sitting on the bed.
His heart jumped with gladness when
he looked UP.
Diane shook hands cheerfully. "How
Is the criminal?"
Better for hearing your kind voice, ~
he answered.
His eyes strayed to the ebon-haired
girl In the background. They met q
troubled smile, grave and sweet.

ane explained. But he must have
recognized the men. There are many
footprints at the ford, showing how
they moved over the ground as they
fought. So he could not have been
unconscious from the first blow"
"Unless they were masked he must
have known them. 1t was light
enough" agreed Elliot.

he will succeed. There is good deal

for granted that you are guilty. Well

You'll have to go, ladies. Times up"
When Sbeba bade the prisoner good
by 1t was with a phrase of the old
Irish vernacular. "God save you
kindly"
He knew the PEASANTS answer to the
wish and gave it. "And you, too"

of fate.
Selfridge had been shocked at the
sight of Macdonald. The terrible beat

all the splendid vital strength of the
Scotsman. His battered head was
swathed In bandages, but the white
face was bruised and disfgured. The
wounded man was weak as kitten

still strong and unconquered.

caught the point at once.
After Selfridge had gone. the wound
ed man lay silent thinking out his pro-
gram. Not for moment did he doubt
that he was going to live, and his brain
was already busy planning for the flu
ture. He knew now that in the vio-
lence of his anger against Elliot he
had made n mistake. To have killed
his rival would have been fatal to the
Kamatlah coal claims, would have
alienated his best friends, and would
have prejudiced hopelessly his chances
with Sheha. Fate had been kind to
him. He had been in the wrong and 1t
had put him in the right. BY the same
cut of the cards young Elliot had been
thrust down from an impregnable po-
stion to one in which he was dis
credited suspect. With all this evil
dence TO show that he had conspired
against Macdonald. his report TO the
department would be labor lost.
Diane came into the sickroom strip
ping her gloves after the walk. Mac
donald smiled feebly at her and fired
the first shot of his campaign to de-
feat the enemy.
HAS Elliott been captured yet?" he
asked weakly.
The keen eyes of his hostess fas-
tened upon him. Captured, What
do you mean? 1t was Gordon Elliot
that brought you in and saved your

''From where he found you uncon

was her nature to be always parti
san. Without any reserve she was fol-
Gordon in this new fight upon him
What had Wally Selfridge been saying
to Macdonald? Did the mine owner
mean to suggest that he had identified
Elliot as one of his assailants? Tn,
thing was preposterous.
And yet-that was plainly what h,
had meant to imply. If he told such
story, things would go hard with Cor
don. In court it would clinch the cas-,
against him by supplying the one miss
ing link in the chain of circumstantia
evidence.
Diane, in deep thought. frowne,
down upon the wounded man, VIII
seemed already TO have fallen into
light sleep. She told herself that thi
was some of Wally Selfridge's devil
try. Anyhow, she would talk it owe
with Peter.
The reason Wally was so please
with himself was that he had droppe
hint into the ear of the wounde
man not to clear Elliot of complcit
in the attack upon him. The new
that the special investigator had bee
arrested for robbery and attempte
murder, flashed all over the Unite
States. would go far to neutralize an
report he might make against the Vi
lidity of the Macdonald claims. If I
this could be added later reports {
an Indictment, trial, and possibly

straws what Elliot said in his ofiicli
statement to the land office.

YARDS ARE NOT TO STOP
BUILDING WOODEN SHIPS

All ways on which wooden ships now
are being built for the government will
be kept busy probably for the period
Of the war. Shipping board ofhcials ex-
planned that the authorized statement
that 1t would be necessary to curtail
the wooden program did not mean that
the work Of plants now turning out
ships would be interfered with.
The 4.700-ton War Marvel. recently
launched at Orange. Tex. has been
chosen by the board as the model for
all wooden ships to be built hereafter.
It has been found that the 1.4oo horse
power engines used in the 3.600-ton
wooden ships. which is regarded as un-
economical Of operation in oreign
trade. will drive the larger vessels at a
satisfactory speed. and consequently
new demands on the boiler and engine
manufacturing capacity of the country
Will not have to be made to the detri-
ment Of the steel program.
The 4.700-ton ship can be built OF
laminated southern pine timbers in
forty-five days less time than required
to build the 3,500-ton Ferris type ves-
sci, in which much heavier timbers of
Pacific coast fir were used.

It has always been wise

The best way to econ

to buy clothes that wear
well and last long. If you
get all-wool fabrics, well
tailored and correctly de-
