raiders in the South Atlantic. 1t was a
nasty, stormy night as at full speed the
cruiser followed up a rumor that the
Kronprinz Wilhelm Lsd been seen that
day in such and such latitude and longi-
tude. The night was as dark as indigo
and the men on the bridge could barely
see the phosphorus of the seas as they
came pouring over the bow when she'd
stick her nose under. 1t was creepy as
she plunged on, with not light breaking
the gloom, not even from the heavens.
Suddenly, as she shot over the crest of
a roller, there was a crash which seemed
like the crack of doom. Those up were
flung to the deck and those in their hunks
were flung out of them, and instead of
sticking her bow into the next wave as
she should have the cruiser Seemed to
straddle the hollow between the crests.
Immediately after the crash the pierre ne
yelis Of human beings in tile throes of ter
ror were heard, and then thump, thump,
tIlump along the cruisers bottom as if
Father Neptune was pounding on her. In
fact, one wag suggested they might have
run into the old man and he was swatting
them with his trident as if the ship were
an annoying fly. 1t all happened quicker
than You can say Jack Robinson" and
was so terrifying and shrouded in mystery
that every man Jack on that cruiser to this
day is quite sure his length of life was
materially shortened by the experience.
A hurried examination showed the
cruiser would eventually sink if she
couldn't be got 10 port. Fortunately, she
wasn't far distant from a neutal port
which had dry dock large enough TO take
her, and thither she limped. When the
water fell away from her and revealed her
bottom, all hands could but wonder at the
queer turn of fate by which she hadn't
sunk Immediately. For under water her
forefoot was pushed back like bellows
SO that forty feet Of ship occupied but
quarter of that space. The plates of the
bottom were denied and cracked, vet,
strangely, nothing was torn or ripped.
In the rush through the blackness of the
night, as she came over the crest of one
wave, the cruiser apparently had come
down on low lying tramp steauing at
right angles to her course. The tramp at
the moment happened to be in the trough
of the sea and the cruiser had crushed
the vessel beneath her bows, her speed
driving her on so that the tramp in sinking
bumped along the cruisers bottom.

for food without restriction The Congo
expedition, maintained in Africa for six
years by the American Museum of Nat
ural History, had the opportunity of
gathering bones and skins from the ma
tives; and in this way acquired the largest
and most complete collection of skulls and
skeletons of white rhinoceri in existence.
This collection shows not only the grad
ual development from the single horn of a
newborn calf, weighing only an ounce, to
the heaviest pair, weighing thirty-eight
pounds, but also great variety in form,
from the perfectly straight horn to the
almost semi-circular.
The collection now on exhibition at the
museum was used during the Congo ex-
petition as proof of the necessity of bet
ter protection for these animals from na-
tive hunters. 4.su.4 "A
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-04

The identity of the tramp is not known
10 this day, for, though the sea was
searched for survivors, none was found,
nor any wreckage which might give clue.
The conclusion reached is that the tramp
had been one Of the stool pigeons which
the Kronprinz Wilhelm and the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich were known to have.
The facilities at that particular port
couldn't cope with the situation in the
matter Of permanent repairs and it was
evident she couldn't steam 5000 milel ss
she was to shipyard which could per-
manently repair her. So the marine en-
gineers set to work and furnished her
with false forefoot made out of wood,
which they bolted over the damaged one
crushed up like bellows.
Then in the double bottom they built in
tons of wood to strengthen the damaged
plates, ribs, &C., foated her out of dry
dock and started her on her way. ANY
ship meeting her at sea never would have
suspected her injury, and so well had the
temporary repairs been made that she
stayed out on patrol and it was four
months before size was dry locked again.
In fact, it was even suggested she
shouldn't be repaired at all, for perma-
nent repairs would be necessarily deli
cate job, as the removal of damaged sec
tions which extended into the sound por-
tions of the hull would have to be accom-
plished with the imminent danger of the
entire vessel collapsing.
Nearly 200 new bottom plates and as
many ribs and floor beams had to be re-
placed. Section by section the new ones
were worked into her, no one section be-
ing removed until the one under repair
had been completed. As for the bow,
when the false forefoot and the damaged
one were removed, the cruiser had an ap-
pearancc not unlike that of the gaping
mouth of fish. Nothing like the job had
ever been undertaken, and that it was
completed in ten weeks shows what; can
he done.

other day watching the array of camou-

man who PAGES the bridge. The merchant
ship commander standing beside me some
how seemed to sense how tough it is on a
fellow who's bred to the sea to be de-

THE BEST DEFENSE.

Has it ever occurred to you what
might happen were the Flanders front
defenses to crack beneath the pressure
Of the terrific German drive? What
would become of France and of the Al
lied forces there now? What would be
the fate of our army?
And where might the mex front line
trenches ultimately be?
1t is possible that eve if the worst
were to com and the Germans were to
break through they might still be held
and the Allied forces saved from ami
hilation and capture. And so long as
the combined Allied fleets controlled
the seas, Germany would be powerless
to attack our shores.
But il the Germans break through
on the western front they are almost
certain to risk everything in n naval
way upon II last clash with England's
fleet. And should they by any chance
be victorious, the ext move would be
against America direct. Victory like
this would make them madmen in
truth.
Distance dwarfs the fray over there
for America. 1t is incomprehensible in
all its ruthless horror and suffering so
far away. We do not mentally grasp
its magnitude. Much less can we visu-
alize it, however much we read. No
man has yet adequately described it.
But we all know that we have no de-
sire for Il German front along the AL
~leghenies. We want no invading Ger
man hordes upon American soil. We
want this wal to be fought out in
Europe.
And America must do its bit to the
utmost, both in men and money. 1t is
up to us s~tay-at-homes to furnish the
money, to buy Liberty Bonds.-The Lib

Mr.. Taylor promises that all kinds
of help, and especially farm hands, will
be available when wanted, and that all
that is now needed is the cooperation
of the farmers. Last year some trouble
was encountered by the failure of many
of the farmers to make known their
needs until the last minute, and the
tendency on the part of others to ex-
aggerate their wants.
IF the farmers will give us cOnser-
vative estimates" says the commission
Ell, land let us know Immediately when
and where the extra help will be need
ed, and what wages will be offered, we
will see to it that their needs are at
tended to. But, of course, they must
understand that they will have to pay
wages equal to those paid in Nebraska
and farther east. The men will not
leave the east without assurance that
they can make as much money as they
can there"

Mr.. Stoddard, the vice president Of

Tor the government. 1t is employing
about seven hundred hands and can
increase the capacity of the plant by
very nearly 33 1-3 per cent. Knowing
that the government would need these
clips, the Grcist company began their
manufacture about ninety days before

persons who adjusted the Greist COM

owed the company lot less than was
the case. One of the company's off

send checks for proper amounts. Thus

Greists. Meanwhile there is capacity

there is capacity that isn't working
