European MANAGER Of N, e. A,

London, Eng.-With a splintering
crash the huge liner-one of the big
gest in the world-tore into the U
S. Destroyer Shaw. and through her
Thirty feet of the destroyer's nose
was sliced off,
Fire started. Oil on the destroyer S
deck blazed furiously. Emergency
ammunition lying near the four-inch
gun was "kr-boom-ing' at intervals.
And through the blazing Oil disre-
garding the explosions, knowing that
the magazine right under the flames
might let 60 any second, scampered
the destroyer's naval crew-cool
Americans who never thought of quit.

They picked up ammunition that
was as likely as not to 60 off in their
hands, and tossed it into the sea

They did the job. The fire. was put
out; the magazine didn't 60 off. And
minus a. nose the Shaw limped into q
British port backwards. .
A lot of these young orleans
were pretty badly damaged So was
the Shaw. But they got her in,

Details to Be Told. - .,scs~,,4r,,. ~,
81 Admiral Sims staff now permits
publication of the whole story of the
Shaw collision. All the acts of. hero
ism cannot oe told; that would take
a book. And the men mentioned here
are no Drawer than a lot of others on
that destroyer.
But these stories will give an idea
of the kind of scene that was enacted
out these miles from land, after that
collision.
In the first place the Shaw sacri-
feed herself rather than take a
chance on ramming the liner. The
steering apparatus became damned.
The commander saw his destroyer
was headed across the troopship's
bow. If he speeded UP he might
make It. But he was very likely not
to make it and ram the liner-possibly
sending lot of soldiers to the bottom
of the ocean. t.
The other thing to do was to slow
down. That way he couldn't damage
the liner but he would probably be
cut in two. This all happened in a
few seconds and the steering gear
was damned in such way that the
destroyer wasn't travelling in a
straight line.
So the problem wasn't easy. But
the commander sized 1t up quickly
and slowed down. He succeeded in
maneuvering so skillfully that only
the front end of the destroyer was
struck.

His first thought was for the liner
He megaphoned up; from what was
left of his vessel:
ANY damage to you, sir??" 80, :

WHAT is LAW TO THEM?

The Townley Bolseviki of North Dakota is hell
bent upon committing that commonwealth to the
widest adventures of state socialism. It had
preferred to undertake the ruin of the commons

of the voting majority this, of course, for obvious
reasons. But failure to get the support of the law

OUT@OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS j.

: Further enlightenment onsthe prediction ad-
herence of the North Dakota Nonpartisan
League Socialists to the plain mandate ofthe state
Constitution and their postelection reputation
of that mandate is given in a Tribune news story
in this issue. e.. $f%EH ~
These Socialists made particularly fervent pre-
election appears to voting members of the league
to see that the proposed constitutional amend
ments permitting the carrying out of the Socialist
economic program should be adopted as part of the
basic law of the state. In these appeals A. c.
Townley president Of the league, and William
Lemke, executive head of the leagues state cent
raj committee called repeated attention to the fact
that the amendments, to be approved, must have
majority OF all the votes cast at the general cleo
ton, and not merely majority of the votes cast
on the particular questions in issue. Over his own
signature in the North Dakota Leader on October
26, Mr.. Townley said, in part:
So the first thing you do, if you want
any state elevators, -four mills and banks,
is to vote "yes' and pass these ten
amendments. It's hard fight, because
more than half of all the votes cast for
- governor must vote Eyes" on the amend
ments. That u.s. if $4,000 vote for Frazier
and $4,000 vote for Doyle candidates for
governor), and 10000 vote "yes'' on the
amendments and 10000 vote mo- on the
amendments, the amendments would not
pass. If You vote no." or if
you fail to vote, you are counted against
the amendments " r.. -,
In campaign pamphlet issued by Mr. Lemke
as committee chairman, on page Is. these words
appear :
In order to carry, the constitutional
amendments must have majority of all
votes cast so that the citizen who does
not vote at all on these amendments is
helping defeat them as much as the man
who votes against them.
Four weeks after the election, when the official
count showed that several amendments vital to
the Socialist-Nonpartisan League program had
been defeated, the Townley adherents reject their
own words, ignore the constitutional mandate, dig
up state statute enacted twenty-five years before
the mandate was made effective, and declare that,
under its terms, the amendments passed muster
before the people on November s. The state can
wasting board, majority of which is of league
stuff, has followed suit
And thus the organic law of the state of North
Dakota, adopted at the polls by the people of the
state, is calmly set aside because it interferes with
some pet schemes of the Townley Socialist leaders,
That is plain, unaduterated anarchy, and it is to
that pass that one of the states of the Union has
come. If we had not some fifty years ago estab-
llshed the supremacy of the federal government
and the indssolubility Of the Union, probably the
next thing North Dakota would do, under Non
partisan control, would be to secede Minneapolis
