buck up against British or French
cruiser at any minute and most Of us
thought we would stay up and get an
eye full before we started for Davys
Well-known locker.
About two bells the following morn
Ing the Moewe's engines began to
groan and shake her up bit and we
could hear the blades jump out Of the
water every once in while and tear
away. She went ahead in this way for
some time and we we're hoping she
was trying to get away from cruiser
and some of US were pulling for the
cruiser to win and others hoping the
Moewe would get her heels clear and
keep us from getting ours.
The Huns were running up and down
the deck yelling like wild men and
one of our men began to yell too. He
was delirious and after he yelled a
bit he jumped up and made pass at
the sentry, who shot at him but
missed. The shot missed me too, but
not very much. Then they dragged
the delirious man up on deck and Lord
knows what they did with him, because
we never saw him again. But we did
not hear any sound that they might
have made in shooting him.
The Arizona copper camp., 1918-09-28

There were hammocks there and we
jumped into them to get warm, but the
Germans came down with their re-
volvers and bayonets and took the
hammocks away and poured water on
the decks and told us to sleep there.
They could not have done a worse
trick than that.
Then they put locks on the portfolios
and told us that anyone caught fiddling
with the locks would be shot at once.
This was because we might sight
British or French man-of-war at any
time and as the Moewe was sailing un-
der the British flag and trying to keep
out of trouble they did not want us
at the ports signaling our own war
ships for help. If they had bucked
any of the allied ships and had a fight
we would have died down there like
rats.
The Moewe had already captured
Range and the King George and had
the crews Of these vessels between
decks with us. These men told us
how the Germans were treating them
and it looked to me as though the eve
ming would be spent in playing games
and pleasant time would be had by
all-not.
The crew of the Mount Temple were
on deck working when the raider sud-
denly opened fire on them. Two or
three men jumped into the water and
the Germans turned a gun on them
while they were swimming and killed
them. That was just sample Of what
had happened to them.
The men now began running up and
down in line to keep warm, but I
took little run on my own hook and
treated myself to as much of a once
over of the ship as I could. do not
believe the Moewe had more than a
three-fourths-inch armor plate, but be-
hind that she had three rows of pig
iron, which made about foot in thick
ness. There was nothing but cable
strung along the deck and when I saw
that l would have given anything to
have had crack at her with a 14-inch
that one of our ships would slip up on
us, whether we were caught between
decks or not. I went aft as far as the
sentry would let me and I saw that
she had three spare six-inch guns I'M
der the poop deck and two Six-inch
pieces mounted astern. The guns were
mounted on an elevator and when the
time came they ran the elevator up
until the guns were on a level with the
poop deck, but otherwise they were
out Of sight from other ships.
For our first meal they slung big
feed bag half full of ship biscuit
hardtack-to us and some dixieS of
tea. After this festival we began
roaming up and down the deck again,
because it was the only way to keep
warm. I guess we looked like some
of the advertisements in magazines,
where they show a whole family sit
ting around Christmas tree in their
underwear and telling each other that
Whosis Unions-the Roomy Kind
were just what they wanted from
Sanity. Only we did not have any
Christmas tree to sit around. We must
have looked funny, though, and would
have had a good laugh if 1 had not
been so cold.
We could not go to sleep because
the decks were wet, nor could we sit
down with any comfort for the same
reason. Besides, we thought we might

way they were just bringing the other
ships skipper aboard. 1t was the
French collier ST. Theodore, hove to
off the starbOard side with a prize
crew from the Moewe aboard and wig
wagging to the raider.
Then the Huns began shouting and
they rousted us below deck again. The
place where we had been was filled
with smoke, from what or why I do
not know, but it was almost impos-
Sible to breathe in it. When the
smoke cleared up a bit the Marathon
started again, for we were still in our
underwear only. One of the boys had
asked Fritz for clothing and Fritz said
the English had tough enough skins
and they did not need clothing. Then
he said: 'Wait until you see what our
German winters are like"
The following morning the engines
began to tear away again and the
guns started firing. After while the
firing stopped and the engines too, and
after an hour they had the old man
of the Yarrowdale aboard. She was
British ship chartered by the French
and bound for Brest and Liverpool
with very valuable cargo aboard
airplanes, ammunition, food and auto
/ mobiles.
When they rOusted US on deck again
the st. Theodore was still in sight, but
she had the Yarrowdale for company.
Both were trailing behind us and keep
ing pretty close on. While we were
on deck we saw the German sailors at
work on the main deck making about
ten rafts and when they began to place
! tins of hardtack on the rafts, a tin to
each, we imagined they were going to
heave us over the side and let us go
on the rafts. But instead they began
telling us we would land in the States
and then they rousted us between
decks again.
We had only been there short time
when some Of the German officers came
down and asked If any of the men
would volunteer to go firing on the
YarrOwdale and we almost mobbed
them to take us. They began putting
OOWh lAC hCluCS VI tIlC lIlCu VIII were
to go and I talked them into putting
mine down too. Then I felt about
five hundred pounds lighter.
Five o'clock came and by that time
l had forgotten to do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most of us who had volunteered fig
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an officer
came down below and read out the
names of those who were to go and I
felt even lighter when he called mine.
We were each given a life belt and
mustered on deck.
The sea was pretty nasty and some
Of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
lifeboats when the swelIs rocked us.
One man fell from the ladder and
broke his neck on the gunwale of the
lifebOat. They took over boat after
boat to the Yarrowdale until finally
we were all there. Then they mus
tered us on deck and warned us not to
start anything, because they had a
time bomb in the engine room and two
on the bridge. Meantime they had
brought over several boatloads of hard
tack and we threw it into No. hold.
This was to be our food for some time.

AUDITORIUM.

WV AR with all it's hideousness, its
w anguish and heavily burdened
=" features has already brought us
some blessings even though it has not
reached its termination, and we have
evidences of the same here in Colora-
do. From April SIP inclusive, an eX-
hibition of foodstuffs and products
has set the people of Denver and Col
orado thinking seriously over CON
SERVATION, and the thousands OF
housewives availing themselves OF the
opportunity to witness the numerous
demonstrations tor economy and the
practice of saving the most and the
purchasing of products OF the indus
tries in our immediate state are
proofs in themselves OF the readiness
and Willingness of the people OF this
state not to withhold anything that
will be contributory to the success or
our nation in this calamity. The city
auditorium wore the appearance OF
mountain system of manufactures,
so well arranged were the different
stalls with their products and manu-
features. Every phase of manufactur-
ing and industrial production was 10
be seen and the visitors were tipped
off to samples of the goods that were
edible. Demonstrators were to be
seen on every hand answering the
questions satisfactorily as they were
frequently put to them. OF the larg
est firms and industrial agencies on
exhibition, the Great Western sugar
Company gave very instructive infor-
nation as to how to get the best re-
suit from using a small amount OF
sugar in the making of preserves, etc.
Garrisoned with pamphlets containing
recipes, this sugar firm distributed
freely to the people through the cour-
tesy of Mr.. w. d. Hoover, one OF It's
ancient and modern representatives.
This member of the firm from his
years and experience in the business
proves his help to the nation in these
perilous times by giving his brain and
recipes to assist the masses, who in
turn express their gratitude in the
timely act of conservation.

Great Western Sugar Company whose
interest is the peoples and whose
motto is to serve the greater cause
by treating we'll the smaller. Read
this paper, which will contain adver
