they did not say anything about II.
That night two men named Barney
Hill and Joyce. the latter gunner
from the Mount Temple, sneaked up
on deck and aft TO the poop deck.
There was pair Of wooden stairs
lending TO the top OF the poop deck,
and Joyce and Hin lifted II and got
II over the side with a rope TO II. The
two Of them got down Into the water
oil right. but Joyce let out yell be-
cause the water was so cold, and n
German patrol boat heard him and
flashed searchllght. They picked up
Joyce right away, but Barney was
mnkIng good headway and was almost
free when they dragged him In. They
beat them up on the patrol boat, and
when they put them back on the
Yarrowdale Badewitz beat them up
some more and put them In irons.
Then he began to shoot at their feet

Then he would cash their faces with
the barrel Of the revolver and shout,
"Tm Badewltz I'm the man who
fooled the English" and shoot at them
some more.
All the while the sailors were cele-

CROCERS AGAIN
DISCUSS PLANS
Slight misunderstanding Cleared Up
at Regular Session Held
Last Night.

Regular monthly session Of the
Rock Island Retail GrOcers' asso-
citation was held last night at the
Rock Island club and minor mis-
understanding regarding the one
deIiYery-a-day were cleared up.
A few grOceTs were labOring IN
der the impression that the new
plan did not affect deliveries to be
made on Saturday and several sent
out wagons Saturday morning.
The resolution as adopted by the
gTOcers stpulates that deliveries
shall be made but once a day on
each of the SIX working days Of the
week Saturday is always the big
day of the week in the grocery
stores and help used on delivery
wagons can be best utilized at this
time than on any other day Of the
week.
The grOCeTs are pleased with the
way the new plan is working, and
state that its success is assured.
The public is requested to cooper
ate in all ways possible. With the
deliverymen released for war work,
the grOcers must take steps to han
die their business with efficiency
and comply with the government
request that business be crippled as
little as possible by the Inducing
of vast numbers Of men in the army.
Cooperation of the public is neces-
sary to bring this about, and the
grOcers state that the spirit shown
by their customers in aiding the
plan is to be commended.
The new plan f said to nOt-af-
feet business Fs les to any great
extent and that the more marked
result of the one delivery a day Is
that customers order more at one
time, and this does away with fire.

MT. Kennalley met Lieut.. Black after the lieutenants was in- jured He says:
 "1 learned from Lieutenant Black that he was injured by being buried while in a dugout. He had just been visited Sby Lieutenant Babb, who occupied another dugout short distance away. Babb scarcely ha left when something happened. Afte~ the visit of Babb, Black re- members nothing until he awakened in a dressing station with an anl- bulaLce men hending over him, and attending to his injuries. It seems thnt a big shell struck tthe ground so ss to bury Black under much deDris. Fortunately some of the other boys were near enough to see his plight, and they got busy with shovels. It was quite a while before they reached him, and car rie' him out apparently more dead than alive. However. he re- wed in time, and, although he may not be fit for front trench work again, no doubt will be about and may yet De of some service with the forces. However, th's is prob lematical, as it could not be told wheL 1 left England just how long he would suffer impairment. - Dawson News.
