that she would not have married him

BLOWS UP THE u BOAT
Interesting Revelations Made Regard
ing Work Of British Mystery Ships
Which Play Important Part in
~ Anti-Submarine Warfare.

London.-Interesting revelations re-
ships which have played an important
part in antlsubmarlne warfare are
made by the naval correspondent of
the Times. They show how British
seamcn have met German craft and
cunning with British craft and cum
nlng.
W Until this week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ships.
Snown in the navy as the 20" ships,
although several officers, notably Capt.
Gordon Campbell, have been decorated
for their services on these vessels. De-
tails now can be made public, as the
Germans are becoming aware through
bitter experience of the methods used
against them.
"Baby" Blows Up Diver.
How woman and baby" accounted
FOR a Uboat is told by the correspon-
dent The submarine ordered yes
sci to surrender and fired few shells
INTO it. The boats then left the ship,
leaving or, board woman who ran up
and down the deck with baby in her
arms, as if mad.
The U-boat came alongside the ves-
sci and the woman hurled the "baby"
into the open hatch. The "baby" ex-
ploded and blew out the bottom of the
submarine. The woman" was deco
rated with the Victoria cross.
The correspondent says that the first
mention Of a mystery ship was in the
case of the Baralong, which on August
10, 1915, sank U-boat after the tor
pedolng of the British liner Arabic.
1t will be remembered, he says, that
the German government protested that
there was nothing to Indicate the Bara-
longs warlike character. The Bara-
tong case was probably not the first
In which ruse was used, and since
then the Disgusting of armed vessels as
Innocent merchantmen for dealing with
submarines has attained considerable
dimensions.
''Howls and moans," adds the naval
correspondent, "went up in Germany
about the treachery of British seamen,
but the German allegations curiously
ceased at the beginning of 1916. These
allegations afforded a typical example
of German mentality, for they ignored
lhe fact that in every case the U-boat
was an actual or potential assailant
and any ruse Of war is considered legit-
lmatc by them except when employed
against Germany"
1t should not be forgotten, he con-
tinues, that the Germans designed
mystery ships for commerce destruc.
tion. The British commanders showed
much ingenuity in devislng plans fol
trapping submarines.
Haystack Is Floating Fort.
In addition to the "woman and baby
case, the correspondent mentions the
story of retired admiral, serving as
q captain, who placed haystack or
board an ahcient-looking craft. WheT
the U-boat ordered her to surrender
the Germans were astonished to re
ceive broadslde from the haystack.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DON'T DECEIVE HIM

Dear Miss Fairfax: l am deeply
in love with a man who l believe
reciprocates my feelings. He is
wealthy, and is under the impression
that I am also. Our family consists
of six, my father earning about
siXty-fve dollars per week, while l
make sixteen.
| would like to know whether it
would be advisable for me to reveal
my true station to this man. l fear
attempting anything of this nature,
for / am quite sure | would lose him
if he knew l was poor.
If you can only win this mans love
by deceiving him, and if you feel
that his interest in you would cease
if he were to know that you are a
poor girl, you are pretty uncertain
as to the basis of his feelings and
you know in your heart that he is not
sincere and that the slightest diff
ticulty would make him cease caring
for YOU. Just be true to yourself
don't deceive him. Let the man
realize that you are simple, honest
folk with fine ideals and a beautiful
home life, that is infinitely more
important than mere money. If he
is a man of good caliber and fine
principles, all this will appeal to him
not repel him. And in any event
from practical point of view, you
probably couldn't deceive him for
long anyhow.

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
dinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moist
en- the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.

ing helpless women and little chill
dren, of torpedoing passenger ships,
of desecrating and destroying the
monuments of the ages, of beastly
and unthinkable cruelty to prison
ers, of all the loathsome savagery
that is included under that faVorite
term, "Schrecklichkeit."
1t is a stupid idea that we can
cow and frighten people into sub
mission, that by cruelty and ruth
lessness and slaughter we can ter
roriZe and intimidate nations and so
make conquest easy. 1t has peen
exploded again and again.
Babylon, with all her might and
all her prosecutions, could not sub
due a little handful of Jews as long
Spain, mistress of the world, using
every dark device of cruelty and OPP
preston, could never overcome Hol-
lands stout-hearted "Beggars of the
Sea-"
But the Hun brain still fails TO
assimilate these facts. 1t is obsess-
ed with the idea of might, of hate,
of frightfulness, and these clouds
befog Its judgment. 1t blunders
continually. 1t failed utterly in its
estimate of us. Germany never be-
lieved in the .irst place that we
would go into the war, or, in the
second, that we would prosecute it
with Vigor.
She regarded us as country
whose only essential unity of spirit
and purpose was the chase of the
dollar. But she has found that we
are just as ready to give the dollar
as to chase it, when the chord of
our national idealism is touched.
And to give not only the dollar, but
all that we have and all that we are.
Germanys insolent contempt and
arrogance has acted as a boomc-
rang; for it has created that very
spirit of unity and purpose which
she believed we lacked. She has
given the greatest boost to democ-
racy known to history; for Sec
tionalism" and "Class Conscious
ness are with us forgotten and ig-
nored shibboleths.
