Pig Nearly Causes
Disa ster to U-Boat

LONDON, Feb. "a (by maiD.-A Ger
man u-boat; pig which the crew tried
to catch on the deck of a Norwegian
steamer; a British DESTROYER and
three boatloads of Norwegian searen
figure prominently in the tale of an
enemy submarine which was "nearlv
caught in the Atlantic recently. The
story is told in the following letter
from Norway:
Our ship, the Siran, was attacked
by U-boat in the Atlantic. She was
badly damaged by gunfire and aban-
doned BY the crew, which took to the
boats. The commander of the sub
marine heard a noise on board the
abandoned ship. "A pig,' he called out
to his men. He ordered them to cease
hrlng, commandeered one of the Siran's
Nfeboats and sent some of his men
over to estigate
They found the pig in a pen on the
deck and two Of the Germans dragged
it out. The pig slipped through their
fingers and then there began a pig
hunt up and down the deck. the men
clutching at the flying rig and falling
headlong until the German captain
watching through his binoculars was
doubled up with laughter.
'In fact, he was so much amused
that he forgot to keep a lookout. and a
british destroyer was we'll in view on
the horizon when he suddenly awakened
to the fact that a war was in progress
Then followed a great scram bic to get
the men back to the submarine and to
get il below the surface before the de-
stroyer could get within range. The
destroyer might have fired some very
effective shots before the German sub
merged, except that the German cap
tain forced the Norwegians in their
lfeboats to keep close to his ship and
between it and the approaching enemy

Could You Blame Them!

A coterie Of prominent cts, whose
names the censor insists on deleting,
had planned nice little fishing trip
the forepart of the week up at some
nice little quiet lake not very far
away. Being thorough converts to the
doctrine of preparedness, they sent
an emissary down to ST Joe, Mo-,
which is outside the desert. Well,
this here guy succeeded in smuggling
TWO cases back home past all the booze
hounds at very reasonable total cost
of about forty bucks. The boys sailed
the contraband in a nice cool place
and the outlook for good fishing was
certainly fine. And SO, few days
later. when they got ready to start.
they met at the rendezvous to load up
the tents and fishing tackle--the beer
of course, being part Of the tackle.
But-well, in the meantime some son
of a sea cook had swiped the most i'm
portant part of the fishing tackle and
the trip was Off It's doggoned little
fun fishing in a dry state, anyway.
We notice that the fur season is on
and gee! how sweet the dear girls all
look in 'em with the thermometer up
around ninety. .,...

LETTERS FROM
MISS RUTH MAx0N
Webster City Girl Employed in Gov.
eminent Office Writes From
Nations Capital.

Miss Ruth MaXon, one of our Web
ster City girls now doing government
work in Washington, has written
some very interesting descriptive
letters to her mother, Mrs. Mary
Maxon. Ruth thoroughly enjoys her
work, and as for Washington-she
doesn't know where to begin" to
see all the things of interest. Extracts
from some of her letters follow:
This surely is lovely place and
l am getting to like it better all the
time. There are SO many places !
want to see that l don't know where
to begin.
This noon we went around park
of the Potomac over to the aviation
field, where we saw several large
machines. This evening the cadets
were reviewed by some of the high
officials, and it was a wonderful sight.
The Marine band-considered the best
band here-played for them. We then
came by the White House and saw
the sheep given to President and Mrs.
Wilson.
Il went last night to the
Public library to the Red Cross meet
ing of the quartermaster's depart
ment. General Gorgas-the man for
whom Neva Garrick works-was the
first speaker and he surely is fine
white haired man. Then Congress-
man Stevens of Nebraska told us
about the boys in France. He was
there a short time ago. Some OF the
boys from Camp Meigs sang a num-
Der of fine songs.
1--WE have visited the Congressional
library, but one would have to make
several visits before seeing all of in.
1t is made OF several different kinds
of marble, the walls being decorated
with pictures made of mosaic marble
quite wonderful. The dome is
more than | can describe, but as we
saw it, all lighted up, it made a
beautiful sight.
Not long ago two of the girls
from home came after me to go rid
ing with them, and / believe l en-
joyed the ride more than / have any
It'll 1rnu
all around the prettiest streets, then
went out the speedway along the
Potomac river. We saw the place
where the bridge is being built from
Arlington to the Lincoln Memorial,
which is just a little way from the
river"

What Could You Expect!

Lou Mills told us this one. An
American regiment lover there" was
ordered across no mans land. When
about half way over, one fellow dis
covered he had forgotten his rifle, 50
he went back to the trench after it..
In about an hour he rejoined his COM
pany, just as the men were ordered t.
fire. Then this gink found he had no
ammunition. So, of course, he had to
return to the trench again. In anothe:
hour or so he was back with the COM
pany, and the men were ordered to
charge. But, horrors! This fish, had
forgotten his bayonet. So he went
back to the trench again and by the
time he rejoined his company, the
fight was all over. Next day they
courtmartialed this blue jay. But
upon learning his trade, they acquit-
ted him. He was plumber!
