Late last year the Department Of
Commerce issued a sheet of figures
giving the exports of aniline dyes
from the United States during Sep

who had hitherto been dependent on
Germany for the color of the clothes
they wore, whether of wool, cotton

Uncle Sam shipped out over a third
of million dollars worth of aniline
dyes. Three years before almost to
a day, Uncle Sam had not been able
to secure enough dyes to meet his
own needs. In three years he has
supplied his own needs and had
enough left over to sell to the world

in port; this is the sailors life, week
in and week out, day and night, in the
convoy service of American destroyers.
which has achieved such marvellous re-
sults-an army of two million men
landed in Europe with the loss Of a
few hundred.
The destroyer fleet was just back
from the latest cruise as we went
aboard today. They had brought in six
German liners. Already the soldiers
were marching to camp, and on board
the destroyers things were being made
shipshape for the brief stay in port,
and then for the next adventure out
beyond the capes.
Chance of Something Happening.
With submarines OFF the port, there
is ceaseless vigilance, with always the
chance of something happening. and
every one on the tiproe of expecta-
ton.
The reports brought back of the last
cru,se were of the best. 1t had been
quiet and the transports
had been brought through without
sign of a submarine. In fact. 1t was
so promising the previous Sunday that
the commander of the feet remarked
thew were going to have a quiet day.
But at 9o'clock in the morning there
was an alarm. with all the gun and
torpedo crews springins to their posts,
and after that four successive alarms
through this quiet day, though none of
the alarms developed into an actual
attack.
Hostile Craft Lurking About.
IT showed, however, the steady ten
sion even when conditions looked best,
for it was known that hostile craft
had been lurking off the beach rocks
near the mouth of the harbor. and one
of our big repair ships had been at
tackled as 1t came In few weeks ago.
On the big destroyers the crew is
always on watch during a convoy.
There are lookouts in the crows nest

at the tip of the bow; at port and star
board, forward and aft Besides these

Series Of Tunnels Saved.
From Irkutsk to the southernmost
point Of Lake Baikal there are forty
one tunnels. 1t was the Czechs' aim
t. clear out The holsheviki without
giving them time to blow up these
tunnels. and to that end they started
a small contingent overland to sur
prise the bolsheviki beyond the series
of tunnels. These men marched four
days under greatest difficulties. They
became so pressed for food supplies
that they had to eat their horses. But
they accomplished their object They
attacked the bolsheviki in the middle
of the night. captured their machine
guns and started them northward in
disorder. The bolsheviki succeeded
in blowing up one tunnel, the last
one in the series.
The Czechs and their Russian allies
now had a clear track to the south
ern extremity of the lake, to village
named Slujianka. where the blocked
tunnel presented a serious obstacle
to further progress. They dragged a

marched several contingents of troops
around the obstruction only to find

Russians suffered heavy losses in the
fighting here and were forced back
to within few miles Of the tunnel.
