A HAZARDOUS UNDERTAKING

The clearing of the North Sea
mine field. upon which America in
sisted as a barrage against the Ger
mans. has been accomplished.
From the armistice until early
spring the Navy Department laid its
plans for gathering the mines it had
solved. Then the mine sweeping
feet of four thousand officers and
seamen steamed into Kirkwall.
whence it began the work of sweep
ing up $1,000 American-laid mines
While accounts of the work have
been meager. it has come to light

most valorous deeds of the war.
To lay this field of mines and
prevent the operation of German
submarines out of the North Sea
was a herculean task People in
this country remember that the first
German trans Atlantic submarine
Deutschland stole out of the North
Sea, under the nose of the British,
and through the passage between
Scotland and Scandinavia. With
American boys being transported
across the Atlantic by the millions
President Wilson was unwilling to
take this chance on the subs" and
insisted that the north passage Of
the sea be blocked.
Immediately plans were develop

laying down 10000 mines started

ardous undertakings of the war
Rear Admiral Strauss, who had di
rected their laying. was chosen to
clean them out. In the British
Navy men were given special
bonuses for mine operations and ad-
ditional bonuses for every mine
cleared. In our Navy the men
worked for the honor of America
and the American Navy" When
they went out to invade a mine
field they had to ride over tons of
destruction that was ready to ex-
plode. not by contact. but by con.
taeion. A vessels approach to the
vicinity of the latest type of Amer
lean mine is enough to detonate
it. A column of alabaster rises
from a vast sea base of jade, the
seams of the ship are ripped epen,
and often the crafts, or parts of the
craft, itself are hurled skyward.
This is what the American mine
sweeper had to brave. The ships oil
the fleet were fitted with an elec-
trical device that minimized mine
action to a certain extent and
careful handling of the craft and
cautious operations prevented any
great number of casualties. The
few stories that have drifted bach
from the isolated feet indicate tn {
twelve casualties reported were
principally among officers and vol.
unteers who went into imminen
danger themselves after ordering
other members of the crews from
the danger zone.

Here and There

The navy department is planning
air flights to Brazil and the Philip
pines. but the trouble with the de-
partment is that its pianes are not
always as good as its plans.
One learned slvaRt declares that
meat eating is the curse of America.
We don't know whether that theory
is correct or not, but we do know
that the inability to get meat at a
reasonable price is causing consider
able cursing in America.
An exchange arises to remark
that it doesn't understand how the
sugar kings are benefited by sugar
shortage. They would not be, per-
haps. by a real shortage. but fake
shortage boosts the price. and there
is always plenty of sugar to be had
at the higher price.
Nobody seems to have the cour-
age to ask the price of a Thanks
giving turkey is going to be. but our
guess is that the price will be slight
ly higher than that asked for a
horse, and a few hundred dollars
lower than you pay for an auto
mobile.
The Prohibition party hasn't de-
cided whether it will quit or con-
tinue business at the old stand. AS
the party never amounted to any
thing. it makes little difference what
it decides to do. The members of
the two old parties settle the liquor
question. and did it without either
party making the question an issue,
which proves that great big ques-
tons can be settled BY the people,
independent of the organization
that usually run things at their own
free will.
