SEEKS SERVICE FOR REVENGE
Harold Bowen Saw "Red" When He
Heard Brother Had Been Wound
ed in France.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-When Harold
Bowen OF Hartford, S. d., was advised
that his brother, William Bowen, had
been wounded while on the firing line
in France with other American troops,
he Immediately commenced to see
red" and FASTENED to Sioux Falls in
an effort to be assigned to early serv.
ice in France so he could avenge the
woundlng of his brother.
Harold Bowen was selectIve draft
man, and stood well down the list. He
appealed to the local exemption board
in Sioux Falls and begged to be accept
ed into the service at once, out of his
turn, in order that he could get to
France with the least possible delay so
he could kill few Germans.
His plea was accepted by the mem
bers of the exemption board, and
young Bowen departed to undergo
training at Camp Lewis, Wash. pre-
liminary to being sent to the battle
line in France.

The navy needed steel for war, thou
Sands upon thousands of tons of it,

1t got a steel expert, S. X. Fuller, who
resigned from a big Chicago railway
supply concern and went to work in
the bureau of supplies and accounts
supervising the purchase of structural
steel forgings and castings for ships
and shipyards.
Gathers In Experts.
The navy needed cotton-millions OF
yards of canvas, duck, drill, sheetings
and uniform cloth. 1t got ". e. Hoop
er, a cotton mill executive, who imme-
diately severed all connections In his
industry, sold his cotton mill interests
invested the money In Liberty bonds
and came into the bureau.
The navy needed transportation on
sea and land. All the problems of
chartering ships for a worldwide dis.
tribution Of supplies, coal, and pro-
visions going out to the fleet, and nj
trate and shellac coming back In ma
val vessels were placed in charge OF
Benjamin T. Young, an expert on ship
chartering and ocean transport, who
severed his connection with big New
York shipping concern for the period
of the war. Transportation on land
was taken over by O. NJ. Ellsworth,
who left remuneratlve position with
"a big railway system to enter Uncle

Donald Riley came from large chem

partment 1t needed industrial ac-
counting, and a great accounting ma
chinery concern made arrangements
whereby G. S. Ashdown took that ac-
tivity in hand, giving all his time TO
the development of accounting sys-
tens as the bureaus transactions null
tiplied again and again. A department
to deal with foodstuffs was provided
under f. A. Tillman; another dealing
with lumber under c. M. Morford, and
another dealing with leather and al
lied materials under ]. w. Mcintosh.
The general standard Of ability set
by the navy for its civilian experts Is
that each man must be worth several
times what the navy pays him in sal
airy, and that he must come into the
organization for the period of the war
absolutely "Outside talent with in
side control" is the principle followed
and this has worked so well that the
navy has never been obliged to seek
advisory service outside its own or.

ALL HAD TRAGIC HISTORY
Carolina the Last of Quartet of Ships
That Seemed to Be Doomed
to Misfortune.

"The sinking of the Carolina by a
German U-boat removed the last of a
quartet of ships that have had a tragic
history" remarked Brooks Amiss Of
Baltimore, a former resident of Wash
ington. at the Willard, according to the
Washington Post. 1.-The Carolina was
formerly the Grand Duchess, built for
the Plant line in 1896. She made her
first trip from Boston to Halifax and
two years later she was taken over by
the government to be used as trans
port in the Spanish-American war.
Her maiden voyage in the transport
service was from Charleston, S. O.,
carrying a regiment of Wisconsin
troops and high army officers to Porto
Rico.
General Miles short time before
had been placed in command of the
American army and he left Washing
ton with members of his staff early in
July. At Charleston General Miles
went on board the Yale, which had
been the City of Paris of the Amerl-
can line. He left Gen. Roy Stone of
his staff at Charleston to recruit a
gang of laborers for the army in Porto
Rico. General Miles proceeded to
Cuba on the Yale and after staying
there few days went to Guanca on
the southern coast of Porto Rico. 1t
was while he was lying in the wonder
full little harbor of Guanica on board
the Cherokee, the Yale being too large
to enter the harbor, that he was Joined
by members of his staff who had sailed
on the Grand Duchess. The Cherokee,
another Plant liner, took the staff to
Ponce, and among others on that YES
sci was the late Richard Harding Da-
Wis, who had sailed from Cuba on a
dispatch boat. The Cherokee arrived
off Ponce the next morning to find that
the city had been taken the previous
day by an ensign of the navy in a dis
patch yacht
"A few days later the protocol end
ing the war was declared and most of
the members of the Miles party sailed
back for the States on the OLDHAM, a
transport that had been purchased
from the Holland-American line.
The curious part of the thing is
that the Yale was sunk in some man
ner; the OLDHAM ran ashore off the
coast of Cuba while in the transport
service the Cherokee foundered some
where in the Atlantic and now the
Grand Duchess, rechristened the Caro-
lima, has been sent to the bottom by
a German U-boat."

to sing. They saw that their audience
was growing to n capacity crowd. But
they started up on the last tune.
Somewhere out on the East side
some one had had an argument, or
else an automobile had tipped over,
for an ambulance was hurrying back
to the city hospital, changing its bell.

To Save Vessels Erom Sinklnn.

Interest has been aroused by an APP
paratuS that has lately been developed
to save ocean vessels from sinking
after being torpedoed or damaged by
collision. The contryance, which Is
shown in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, comprises a Eliminated steel disk,
to the center of which is attached
series of rubberized canvas cone
shaped buckets. In use, the end cone
on the chain would be lowered into
the water in the vicinity of the hole
in a ships hull. Upon being caught by
the inrushing water, it would be pulled
through the opening. The whole string
of buckets would then be lowered along
with the disk so that the latter
would be pulled in place over the
break. The cones, being of flexible ma
terial, would be able to pass through
an aperture, regardless of Its shape
The disk, once in place, would be held
by the pressure of the water against
the hull.
