The KdShn1ir

One Moorhead man, Pie. Dean w.
Meeker, will never forget his trip
overseas aboard the transport, Kash-
mir, when she collided with the
British armed ruiser, Otranto, in
the north channel between Scotland
and Ireland during a storm on Sun
day morning, October 6. Over 400
Of the passengers and crew of the
Otranto lost their lives and the yes
sci was a total wreck on the Island
of Islay, off the Scottish coast. The
Kashmir made a Scottish port, prob
ably Glasgow, with a hole in her
bow ''big enough to drive moving
van through"
In letters to his wife and mother
In Moorhead, written in France, on
November 6, Private Meeker chances
getting by the censor with the fol-
lowing account Of his thrilling ex-
perience:
ut is just a month today since
our ship threw a scare into us by
banging into another vessel of the
convoy and staving her in amid
ships. The ship we struck sunk
within a few hours, but we got to
port o. k. Many Of those on the
other ship lost their lives as due to
the heavy sea, they couldn't use life
boats or RATS and practically all Of
the survivors saved themselves by
jumping to she deck OF a destroyer.
I'VE were mighty lucky to keep
afloat but our bulkheads held If
they hadn't would notsbe here now.
Striking bow on is what saved our
boat. Our bow was bent like a tin
can and there was a hole where the
plates were scraped off big enough
to drive a moving van through.
saw the stove in bow after we land
ed, and it surely gave me a scare.
II was some excited person for a
minute or two that Sunday morning,
but there was nothing like a panic.
As it was only got enough of a
Jolt to cure my seasickness. The
crew marveled at the GOODNESS Of the
troops. One old 'Cockney' was very
voluble about it. These bloody.
bloomin' Yanks, would you believe
it3.' he said. Asking me for a light
and them face to face with DEATH.
1--WE were all ordered to the stern
of the boat at first and had a merry
time on deck for there was a regu-
| lar wind blowing. After an hour or
so they let us go below again and
the old boat lit out for the nearest
port.
Like other cities in the British
Isles this port is located on a river
quite distance from the coast. We
anchored at the mouth Of the river
! Sunday night and we towed up TO
the pier the next day. The scenery
was beautiful at first, OF course, we
were seeing those old homes through
rose colored spectacles for dry land
looked mighty good to us.
Later we passed shipyards that
are or were the largest in the world.
and they surely seem to be putting
OUT the ships Ttsmade us realize
that there really is war when we
saw women run out OF the shops
(not stores) to wave to us. They
were some Amazons too, probably
they looked bigger because so many
boys also work there.
Ibid tell you / saw the Aqui-
tania? That's the old girl want to
carry me home. Some ship. Looked
like someone had pushed the Wool
worth building over"

Clay County Is
Again OUer Top

Clay county has scored another
victory for patriotism by over-sub-
scrfbing her quota for the United
War Work Campaign. Although
handicapped by several obstacles any
one OF which would be sufficient
cause for failure, the several districts
have thought only in terms OF success
and worked with untiring and per-
sistent energy until the full amount
was reached In some sections the
roads have been utterly impossible,
one townhip has not started the can
vass because of the f1u, another has
responded with less than so per cent
Of It's quota, a few townships have
fallen below their quotas but the ma
jority have made their allotments
and more. Every city and village in
this county oversubscribed and Moor
head city, with the support of Con-
corCiia College, the high school and
the State Normal school has come out
of the campaign with a subscription
Of so per cent over its minimum,
record made by few cities in West
ern Minnesota.
Viding township over-subscribed
its quota in one day. Kragness
township went over its quota $500
and paid the full amount in cash.

German encroachments in foreign

Mr.. Lubin's plan is to organize an

the people OF those zones important
methods Of business and manufac-

would eliminate the necessity for
them to purchase manufactured ar

Directors of the Canadian Pacific

cent dividend on preferred stock for
the half year ending June 30, and
dividend of 21h per cent to common
stockholders for the quarter ending
June 80.
The Canadian railway war board an
nounced Monday that Pacific North
west fruit consigned to central Can
ada will be shipped direct in the fu-
ture, instead of over roundabout
routes. Under the new ruling apples
from the Wenatchee valley, Washing
ton, which formerly were sent half
way across the continent and then
doubled back in order to reach Ed
monitor, will now be sent direct.
Public service commissions of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho on August
10 filed complaints with the inter
state commerce commission attacking
the 25 per cent increase in freight and
10 per cent increase in express rates
as applying to fruit, vegetables, ber-
ries and fish shipped from the North
west. The rates are declared to be
discriminatory and unauthorized un-
der the law by which the government
assumed control of the utilities. The
commission is asked to set aside the
rates and establish new rates not
greater than formerly prevailed.
