the thick darkness like knife.
"Wc're done for, old man !" he whls-
pered. "We'd better not awaken her.
Listen !"
Heretofore no sound from without
had penetrated the thin plates of the
submarine, but now Donald distinctly
heard cracking noise, as II some
pressure were being exerted against
the sides of the vessel.
"We're breaking up, sir"
"Iou mean-T
"It's that gang Of devils, Donald Do
you mind letting me grip your arm n
minute sir? It's in way disturbing"
The sounds grew louder. The plates
were grooming under pressure, and it
seemed every instant that the rlvets
would start and the water rush in.

falntest faith in this diagnosis.
''But this pressure Is horizontal, not
horizontal pressure at ALL"
Donald was silent. He would not
voice what was in his own mind h..t
he knew that his explanation was non
sense, meant to deceive not only Da-
vles, but himself also. The sea mon
sters must be pushing against the bot
tom of the F55, to break her by their
own weight and get at their prey with
in. Maddened by hunger in those bar
rem solltudes of darkness, they were
n frenzied army of destruction.
He wondered whether Clouts' act
was in any way the cause Of this new
activity.
The pressure increased. The steel
plates cracked as trees snap in zero
weather.
Donald looked up and saw Ida
standing in the doorway.
as anything wrong?" she asked,
coming forward to Donald.
He could not answer her, and she
did not repeat the question, but stood
looking lntently at the two men, who
watched each other. 1t was impossible
that Ida could help understanding the
meaning Of the sounds without.
She came close to Donald. "Forgive
me for what l said, dear" she whls-
pered, clinging to his arm. II was so

He patted her arms without speak
Ing, and led the way to the coming
tower again. 1t was preferable that
they should die, II they must, by suf-
location, rather than In the nav of
the monsters. InclOsed within those
stout walls Of steel, they could at least
hope to find perpetual tomb there.
The pressure was still increasing
The floor Of the coming tower began
to tilt. Surely this was the endl
But the floor righted, tilted, righted
once more. A sense of movement sue
ceeded that of pressure. Then, to
their utter amazement, white light
shot through the observation port,
flooding the inside of the coming
tower, and the F55 scraped the rocks
Donald grasped at Davies. Davies !
We are at the surface again !" he cried
There was no doubling It. The
moonlight flooded the interior Of the
tower, and before their eyes, seen
through the port, were the rugged out
lines Of Fair island. The monsters
must have raised the submarine by the
united force Of their massed bodies.
"This time" said Donald, 1--WE are
going ashore to stay"
"Amen!" said Davies solemnly, and
the three grasped hands.
A few moments later they emerged
upon the drying deck of the D55. She
was back in her old position upon the
shelving beach, at the very edge Of the
waves. The moon, which rode high
in the sky, was already paling before
the increasing luster Of the dawn.
"Wheres Clouts?" asked Donald
suddenly.
isn't he below?" queried Davies.
Donald raised his voice and shouted.
He ran below, calling for Clouts. But
there came no answer. 1t soon became
evident that Clouts was not on the
submarine.
"Good Lordw said Donald.
II occurred to him then that he had
told Clouts TO look at the rudder, but
he had never supposed that the man
would be able to adjust 1t. Had he
forgotten, gone back to adjust 1t, and
failed to return?
He took q couple of revolvers and
gave one OF them to Davies. They
went ashore. The firm rocks under
foot seemed the most delicious part of
tneIr strange fortune, and gave reality
to what was still hardly more than a
dream.
They knew that there was 10 danger
of attack in the moonlight. Neverthe-
less, they remained near the boat. And

at Is the earnest desire Of the fuel
administration to prevent entirely any
dislocatiOn of industry or of labor"
With these words, Fuel Administrator
Garfield closed his summary of the
most drastic and startling experiment
In domestic and war economy made by
this or any other government. For five
days beginning January IS every fac
tory and workshop in the region east of
the Mississippi and including all of
Louisiana and Minnesota, was ordered
closed, with the exception Of those
manufacturing perishable food or food
for immediate consumption. Ten sue
cessive Mondays beginning January q
are ordered to be observed as holidays
when the consumption of coal shall
cease except in specified cases.
Doctor Garfield stated that he ex-
pected to save 30,000,000 tons of coal
by his order. Very likely he will, but
his plan, announced without warning,
brought tremendous storm about his
head. lnnumerable business men,
whose affairs were dislocated despite
the earnest desire" of the adminlstra-
tor flooded Washington with protests
and requests for revocation of the
order, but II had been issued after con-
sultation with and by direction of
President Wilson and the walters had
no chance for relief save in those indi-
vidua instances where it was neces-
sary TO prevent injury to health or de-
structlon of property.
Another and most important angle to
the situation was the enforced loss of
millions of dollars in wages to work
ers Some big concerns did not deduct
anything from the pay of their EN-
ployees, but It was beyond hope that
this example would be followed by any
considerable number of employers.
Congress, startled out of It's usual
deliberative calm, got into action i'm.
mediately. The senate committee on
manufacturers called Doctor Garfield
before 1t and heard an explanation
that did not explain, and the senate
thereupon adopted resolution asking
that the order be delayed for five days
for investigation. This Adminlstra-
tor Garfield, on advice of the president,
Ignored. In the house various resolu-
tions We're introduced, but immediate
action was blocked by certain Demo-
Gratis.
As finally issued, the order per-
mltted ship yards and essential war in
dustries to get coal and remain in
operation during the five workless
days.

The metropolitan press of the coun-
try in general bitterly scored Doctor
Garfield for his order and declared
that it not only was a ghastly mistake,
but exposed to the world the utter in
competence of America to meet con-
dition that throughout the war has
confronted the nations allied with us
and yet has called for no such panicky
action by any one Of them. The severe
winter weather which paraly2ed traffic,
and the extraordinary demands for
fuel due to wartime conditions are
cited by Doctor Garfield as the causes
making necessary his order. The
miners blame the railroads for the coal
shortage, and the railroads blame the

toward them for the last generation.

States last year than ever before, the

the Russian people announcing that
the British people accepted the prin.
ciple of self-determlnation of peoples

cluded with an appeal to the peoples
of central Europe to help end the war

sides, and not to drive the British peo-
pie, as they are driving the Russians

There Is not much to be written Of
the weeks fighting. The German pa.
pers were talking openly of the COM
ing great offensive on the west from.
and asserted that million more troops
had been sent into France but Won
Hlndenburg still delayed the blow. The
activity of the avlators was notable
and the allied flying men made several
successful bombing raids on German
cities, Karlsruhe especially being hard
hit.
In Italy the main event of the week
was n surprise attack by the Italians,
supported by the French, by which GER
tain important dominating positions on
Monte AsOone were wrested from the
Austrians and their observation posts
destroyed.
On Wednesday the AustrianS made
a desperate attempt to recapture the
lost positions. For four hours they ut.
tackled fiercely and were stubbornly
fought off, finally retiring, leaving the
field covered with their dead.

The German submarines have not
been very active of late, the weekly re-
port of the British admiralty showing
only six large British vessels and four
smaller ones sunk. One OF the sub
mersibles, however, emerged Off Var
mouth and shelled that pretty English
city violently. Three persons were
killed.
Further evidence that the submarine
service is most distasteful to the Ger

from Geneva of another mutiny among

The abandonment of the ROumanian
front by the Russian troops led to
nasty little row. Roumanians arrested
and dlsarned several Russian regl.
ments, and the Russian government at
once put under arrest the Roumanlan
diplomats In Petrograd and threatened
war on Roumania IL the Russian sol
dlers were not at once freed. A strong
joint protest by representatives of all
the allied and neutral powers brought
about the release of the Roumanian
diplomats.
Then came an astonishing order
from the bolshevlki government for
