Tied His DOG to nEIIvver.n

When Henry Ward, prominent IN Sa-
lima (Kan.) business affairs, tied his
vicious bulldog to his oliver" merely
as a protection to dogs with better dis
positions, he was arrested.
"Guilty?" asked the court, after in
forming the defendant he was chnrged
with violating a city ordinance against
attaching a tin "a to a dogs tail.
Yes, sir" was the reply.
ELEVEN dollars" said the court. And
Mr.. Ward paid.

London, Feb. 8.-Sergt. E. c. Du-
buque and Sergeant Muller, both OF
Brooklyn. who were on the Tuscania,
were rescued from a raft by a coasting
schooner.
The sergeants say that the Tuscania
took a tremendous list to ~starboard al
most as soon as she was hit. Almost
all the lifeboats on that side were
either blown into the air or otherwise
rendered useless.
The soldiers we're Immediately lined
up, and while standing at attention as
one man, began to sing my Country,
IT'S of Thee and "The Star Spangled
Banner" The crew, which lined up on
the opposite side, sang God Save the
King"

Londonderry, Ireland, Feb. S.-The
submarine which torpedoed the Tus-
cania was attacked by a destroyer.
An American officer gave an intima-
ton that the submarine was destroyed.
This officer was next to last to leave
the Tuscania. He gave a vivid &C
count of the disaster. The second tor
pedo fired by the submarine missed
its mark, he said. Thereupon a de-
stroyer which was near the sinking
liner dashed off toward the subma-
rine, using a bomb-dropping device.
The claim is made that the submarine
was done in" by the bombs thus ex-
ploded.

New York, Feb. S.-The cunard
liner Aurania, 1S,4OO tons. was tor
pedoed by a German submarine while
bound for the United States, It was
learned from officials of the Cunard
line. Although badly damaged bv he

is believed to be making her way back

An Irish Port, Feb. S.-Most of the
Americans were lost through the Tus-
cania's sudden heavy list after being
%torpedoed, which caused faulty launch
ing Of the lifeboats.
The German torpedo struck the Tus-
cania a vital blow amidships, causing
her to list almost to starboard.
Instead Of blowing forward in this
fashion, as most vessels do under the
circumstances, the Tuscania stopped
dead. A shiver ran through her, and
she heeled over at a dangerous level.
The list to starboard so elevated the
lifeboats on the port eide as to render
them practically useless, and only a
few Of the boats on that side we're
launched. The first of these struck
the water %unevenly, capsizing and
throwing the occupants into the sea.
Many donned lifebelts and jumped
overheard. Hundreds Of others were
preparing to follow this example when
a British destroyer boldly drew Up
right alongside the Tuscania. When
the men saw this many Of them leaped
from the boat and salon decks to that
Of the waiting destroyer.
The destroyer took off several hun
dred men, all she could carry, and
moved away. She had come up along
the starboard side of the Tuscania.
AS she steamed away with her deck
loaded down with Americans, another
British destroyer emerged out of the
darkness on the Tuscania port, now
high out of the water.
All the time this s york was
progressing cool heads were getting
the few other lifeboats afloat. Despite
the many difficulties the crew behaved
well and the GOODNESS Of the American
soldiers was the subject Of commenda-
ton in affidavits by the boats officers.
Forty Of the survivors we're taken To
hospitals. In the majority of cases.
they are suffering from injuries as a
result Of accidents in the lowering of
hfeboats or in consequence of sliding
down ropes.

on the Tuscania is given by the land.

An Irish Port, Feb. S.-The rus
cania, torpedoed and sunk off the
north coast Of Ireland by a German
submarine Feb. 5, carried a total OF
1897. The saved number 2,296, as fol
lows: Troops, 2.1O6; crew, 1870; total
lost, 101. Among the American sur
vivors are seventy-six officers. There
are e~ighty-one American troops in
hospital. The bodies of ~forty-four of
the missing 1O1 victims Of the Tus-
cania disaster were washed up Thurs
day on the rocks fifteen miles from
the scene of the torpedoing. All were
Americans and their bodies were mu-
tilated beyond recognition.
A pathetic feature is that, although
all the victims wore tags, no identifl-
cation numbers had been put on them
because these Americans had not yet
been assigned to definite army units.
Therefore there is no way to identify
them, and they will be buried in one
grave.

HOW EMPLOYMENT
MANAGERS ARE TRAINED
Representative of Department of La.
Dor Describes Preparation For
Important Branch of Work

The value of training courses for
employment managers is outlined by
Melville La Marche, special repre-
sentative of the United Employment
service, who was sent to take the
first course offered at Rochester I'm
iversity. AS one of the earliest grad
yates he gives theI following sum-
mary of the Government training
courses and their benefits. Mr.. La
Marche says:
Faced with a growing shortage Of
man power, industry is coming to
realize that it's most valuable asset
is the skillful and satisfied worker.
No longer is the selection and over
sight of plants personnel to BIG
left to Providence and ten dollar
a week clerk in plants on war work,
if the industrial service sections Of
the Government departments have
any voice in the matter. Analyses
of failures to keep pace with produc-
ton schedules have invariably dis
closed some disturbing factor direct
ly traceable to the dissatisfaction If
individuals engaged on productive
work. Labor turnover, cited by Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson as the fndi-
vidualistic strike" has assumed pro-
portions where the flow Of completed
material is seriously retarded.
Zone Of the chief remedies at hand
is the we'll organized personal SER
vice department, the value of which
has been so practically demonstrated
in several Of the more successful
concerns. Indeed, some Of these con-
Germs which pioneered in this field
drew attention to themselves at the
outset as 'philanthropists' with more
money than good sense. But a

Mr.. J. A. Dunaway,
Dear Old Pal: Will write you just
a word or two as l have little spare
time now and it seems as though you
are not going to write me unless ]
start the ball to rolling, so here goes
for the first race. No doubt you wish
you could be over here with me so
you could help do the dirty work to
these saur kraut eaters and, believe
me, boy, our boys are showing them
what we are made Of. You would
hardly believe that they would much
rather see two or three thousand
French soldiers come over the top af-
ter them than to see even five hun
bred Americans. I rather think that
they would like very much to have us
to call this war off and say that they
had bad day when they started it
for I think that they might be just
bit sick on their stomach since we
arrived over here. Well, old boy, ]
hear one of those birds over here
now and | think | had better put out
my light for tonight as they have a
queer way of putting them out for
you in case you leave them burn too
long, so will ring off tonight by say
ing write soon as Twill be glad TO
