grabbed his bayonet. The sentry
yelled and some others came down
from the bridge and shot Harrington
through the hand After they had
beaten Harrington pretty badly, the
bull of the bunch, Badewitz himself,
came over and hammered Harrington
all around the deck. Then they put
him in irons and took him to the chart
room.
The next day we were sitting In the
fiddley getting warm when the door
opened and there was Badewitz. He
yelled ."Heraus!" and began firing at
us with revolver, SO we beat it back
onto the coal. Pretty soon the door
opened again. But it was only Ger
man sentry. He threw down a note.
1t was written in English and read,
''Pick out eight men for cooks" So
we picked out eight men from the va
rious vessels and they went on deck
and rugged up galley aft.
But we did not receive any knives,
forks, spoons or plates. The first
meal we got was nothing but macarO-
nj, piled up on pieces Of cardboard
boxes. Then we appointed four men
to serve the macaroni, and they got
four pieces Uf wood, the cleanest we
could find. which was not very clean
at that, and they dug around in the
macarOni and divided 1t up and put
it in our hands. We had to eat it
after that from our grimy fingers.
Those who were helped first had to 60
farthest back on the coal to eat it,
and those who were helped last got
less, because the dividers got more
careful toward the end and gave
smaller portions.
But we did not get macaroni very
long. A cook from the Voltaire was
cleaning copper dixie that the mac
aroni had been cooked in, and he was
holding it over the side when the yes
sci rolled heavily, and dropped the
dixie into the briny. A sentry who
saw him drop it forced him up t.

America Is Best

to Produce-McC Curdy

London, Nov. 19.-England needs
to produce great deal more wealth
than she did before the war and she
can best learn from America how
to do it, said c. A. McCurdy, par
liamentary secretary to the food con-
troller, in a recent speech dealing
with England's industrial and labor
troubles.
Machinery and motive power are
the tools you give the worker for
his business" he continued. Before
the war the American worker was
far better equipped in this respect
than the British workingman. He had
fifty per cent. more motive power,
steam power or electrical power to
help him in his task.
I'VE might double the efficiency
and the output of British workmen
by giving British industry cheap and
abundant motive power"

said in the scornful tones she seems

Where lies the woman who

heart to deny it?" he said in a
mock-heroic tone which told me he
was taking leaf out of Vars book
and finding a way to stop her from
making him the butt of her inso-
lencc.
Walls cream underwent a startled
flush, but her voice was never
smoother than when she replied:
"Since my claim is so cleverly
established, I'll announce that the
idea of this party was to give Dana
