INDIAN IS LEARNING RAPIDLY
Beginning After Many Years to See
That the Ways Of the White
Man are Good.

In the old days he depended upon
the wild deer and the buffalo for food.
He lived in smoky rogan or tepee,
and when anyone died there. he burned
1t or moved away to keep the ghost Of
the departed from haunting him.
In the old days he fought against
the white men and collected paleface
scalps. Then he called upon his medi-
cine man to cast spells over the mis-
sionary and drive him away.
Today he Is learning to farm and
raise cattle. He builds house like
the white mans with floors and q cell
lar for vegetables and sometimes q
corrugated iron roof. In case Of q
death in the new cabin he does not
burn II, but uses the white mans dis
infectants to fumigats the place.
Now he is beginning to understand
what the white Father" In Washing
ton Is trying to do for him. He has
sent his full quota to our army In
France, and four-nfths OF the number
have been volunteers. He has sub
scribed nearly $1,000, 900 to the Liberty
loans. Three times out Of four hs
sends his children 20 school. Now forts
are disappearing, and churches are tax
ing their place.

FEW SHIPS ARE TOTAL LOSS
Vssseis Sunk by Mlnss or Torpedoss
Patched, Raised and Taken to
Port for Repairs.

Any one who imagines that all the
vessels sunk by enemy U-boats or
mines are left at the bottom of the
sea would be surprised II he could
be told the whole story OF ingenuity,
resource and unremitting toll Of the
British admiralty salvage corps.
Almost as soon as vessel is sunk
salvage operations are commenced.
D!'ers are sent down to take accurate
measurements Of the size Of the hole
made by the torpedo or mine. Small
holes are plugged with wood, hut large
ones are patched with "standards"
patches. These are made OF Pinch
wooden beams, and patch sometimes
weighs AZ much as 20 tons.
As may be imagined. the size Of the
hole varies greatly. In some cases It
has measured 40 feet long by 20 feet
wide. and In one case II has been
known to be 4s feet long by Is feet
wide.
When the vessels have been plugped
and patched. their cargo removed and
the water pumped out Of them they
proceed to the nearest port where they
can be permanently repaired.
Several vessels have been torpedoed
after being refioated and have again
been successfully raised and taken
into port.
