WRIST-WATCH SAMMY
BY KATHARINE EGGLESToN
Of the viqilantes.

A bloated. boastful-looking man sat
Mt lunch table alone. Men came to
him occasionally. He made notes in a
small book. He was engaged In the
highly-useful profession of book-mak-
ing.
His bulging eyes caught sight Of n
wrist-watch on the arm of a young
man in khaki.
"Humph! pretty Sammy and his
wrist-watch! All dolled up and don't
know how to fight! Won't the business
end of n bunch Of Boche guns make

be divulged. There have been instan-
ces of U-boats entering territorial wa
ters at night and exchanging signals
with people on shore. Until recently
enemy citizens were allowed to re-
side In seaport towns and even de-
serted villages on the coast, so that all
they needed to communicate with sub
marines was light. Even now Aus
trians and Germans are interned In
Sardinia, and more ships have been
sunk by submarines Off this Island
than anywhere else In the Mediter-
ranean.
The mail boat between Sardinia and
Ciyitavecchia was torpedoed in broad
daylight only 20 miles OFF the coast
of Sardinia. Although she remained
afloat for three hours and the wireless
operator remained on board until the
ship sunk and communicated with a
nearby naval station. unfortunately no
torpedo boats were available to rescue

Rome.-The U-boat offensive is still
serious in the Mediterranean. Sub
marine bases exist in neutral cOun-
tries. where information. provisions
and even petrol are supplied to the
German commanders. Some time ago
three Sicilian fishermen were charged
with supplying provisions to an enemy
submarine OF Augusta. In the course
Of the trial before the military tribunal
at Catania evidence was brought to
show that while the fishermen were
out at sea In their boat a submarine
rose to the surface and ordered the
three men to go on board.
The commander then informed them
that two would be kept as hostages
while the third was to go ashore in
the boat and get the fresh provisions
needed. If he returned with them with
In two or three hours the two fisher
men would not only be released but
also compensated; otherwise they
would be killed. The man was warn
ed that II he informed the italian au-
thorities the fate of his two compan-
ions would be the same. Naturally
the man obeyed. He returned with
the provisions within the appointed
time and was well paid for his trou-
BILE and faithfulness. OF course the
two hostages We're released. Evident
ly the fishermen's story was corrOborat-
ed by the evidence of other men, as the
tribunal acquitted the two hostages
and sentenced the man who got the
provisions to ten years hard labor for
neglecting to inform the authorities.
Cannot Resist Temptation.
There are thousands of fishermen in
Italy who lead hard life without
earning living wage and who can
not resist the temptation of making
money. Besides, they are easily in
timidated by the threats of the COM
manders of submarines, who often
sink fishing boats and murder the fish
ermen for the sake of imposing obedi-
ence. 1t Is reasonably suspected that
fishermen aid submarines In many
ways. They warn them of the ap-
proach of war vessels and mystery
ships and give them valuable informa-
ton about sailings and courses of con-
voys. Possibly II the allies compen-
sated fishermen MS well as the COM
manders of submarines do satisfac-

the French capital since the lombard

One German paper says great num-

tension of nerves resulting from the

after each unfavorable communiQue

The situation In Paris has been de-
scribed fully by cable. No disorder of
any kind has occurred and instead of
CONSERVATION there reigns and has
reigned from the beginning perfect
tranquility. No one pays further at
tention to the long range guns than to
speculate after each explosion as to
where the shell fell. Most of the
shells fall in the soft earth of the

Poet invented etereoseope.

How many Of us really know that
the stereoscope-largely used for mag.

was the invention Of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the American poet and phil
osopher. There had been in use a
crude form Of stereoscope. consisting
Of box with hinged lid on the upper
side which was opened to admit light
on the photograph. Doctor Holmes
dispensed with the box, substituting the
eye shades still used and cut slits in
the projecting board In order that the
photograph might be correctly focused.
Then he stuck an awl In the bottom.

complete. Doctor Holmes found the
alteration such an improvement that
he offered his invention free to several
firms. All refused 1t, however, except
Joseph Bates Of Philadelphia, who de-
cided to make a dozen or two and see
II they would sell. The preliminary
lot was soon multiplied by thousands.
An employee Of this firm originated
the movable slide In which the pictures
are now placed, thus improving upon
the series Of slots devised by Doctor
Holmes. When the stereoscope became
great success. 1t was suggested to
Doctor Holmes that II he had patented

America Loves Peace.
1t is my honest belief that Germany
has had for many years two alterna.
tive plans for conquest. From Berlin
she has drawn two lines, one to the
southeast through Saloniki and to the
Orient, the other to the southwest
through Spain to South America. She
hoped England would Io the Weber

while German armies stunned France.
and then she would leap on the Orient
and grasp vast dominion there.
England did not keep her hands down.
She is not entirely fool. That plan
failed. 1t seems hopeless now.
The other plan Germany will try the
moment she makes peace and gets her
breath, If her agents can persuade US
to keep our hands down.

always been those living In barren

to preach the doctrine of peace to
America, because the natural state of
America Is peace. America does not

avenge insults that have become un-

cred.
The crew of ship recently sunk at
night by submarine reported to the
authorities that when they had taken
to the boats and were pulling away
from the sinking ship the submarine
was exchanging flash signals by means
Of an electric lamp. The night was
very dark, and at first the answering
signals were not visible, but shortly
afterward the flashes of at least five
submarines could clearly be seen.
"They were like glow worms over the
sea-" one OF the men said describing
the signals. Evidently submarines
now keep close together so that mu-
tual protection can be afforded and
