Guided solely by the compass in a
Cross-country flight, four out of five
airplanes made flight from Langley
Field, Hampton, Va, to Emerson Field,

several days delay because Of unfa-
vorable conditions. The fifth machine

LURKING PLACE
OF SUBS KNOWN
Allies Had Accurate knowledge
of Whereabouts.
kept TAB ON EVERY BOAT
When American Destroyers Started
Out to Convoy Merchant Ships and
Transports They Knew Just Where
to Look for Enemy U-Boats-De-
stroyer Crews Have Earned the
Rest They Are Now Getting.

When American destroyers during
the last Is months of the war steamed
out of Queenstown to convoy mer-
chant ships and transports through the
submarine-infested area of the North
Atlantic, they went with accurate in
formation of the whereabouts of the
enemy U-bOats as supplied by the Brit
ish admiralty.
As destroyer flotilla moved out to
sea the commodore would be bending
over his maps with his navigators. On
the maps were little rings, sometimes
many and sometimes only few, each
denOting where a German submarine
was known to be. The maps also had
cross mark showing where the flo
tilla was to meet the convoy.
SLOW do you know submarine is
about in that locality?" a destroyer
captain was asked as he examined his
maps.
swell, We know, and pretty definite
ly," came the reply with smile. "The
U-bOat 76 is about here (pointing to
ring). She has been there three days
operating within radius of about 80
miles and will return to her base in
four more days if some of us don't get
her.
Numbers Also Are Known.
ave don't know exactly what vessel
this one Is over here (pointing to an
other ring), but we think it is the U-69.
She's going to her base tomorrow"
The captain pointed out other rings
and he had accounted for all on his
maps.
This knowledge Of the whereabouts
Of the lurking enemy was not unusual,
so accurate was the information con-
corning the submarines obtained by
the allied naval authorities. Some
thing was known of every submarine
operating in the waters about the Brit
ish isles. But knowing where a sub
marine might be and sinking it were
two different operations. On the wide
expanse of water the submarine might
change its plans or act against direct
orders.
All this added to the excitement of
the chase as the destroyers plowed
through the sea toward the cross mark.
The fiotilla would go plunging and roll
ing along until it sighted the ships 1t
was to convoy.
Cheers Give Greeting.
The meeting place reached, the
crews of the destroyers would answer
the shouts and cheers of those aboard
the convoy and then would turn smart
ly to the task at hand, that of protect
ing the larger vessels from the pratt
cal lurkers within the circles on the
maps.
The crews of the American Destroy
ers operated from Queenstown through
the entire zone, which had witnessed
most of the U-boat crimes against I'M
armed passenger and merchant vessels.
They knew how deadly the submarines
were. All this was an incentive to hard
work and the destroyer crews have
well earned the rest they are getting
now after Is months of activity and
during that time have gained the adj
miratiOn of all naval men.
The Americans are idle now. No
longer do the commanders study maps
and worry over rings and cross marks.
The Hun has gone and the Americans
are enjoying their relaxation to the
full.

Standing on the parapet of trench,
the last surviving man of his party.
with machine gun bullets dropping like
hail around him, Lieut.. Frank Badgley
of the Canadian field artillery was re-
sponsible for the success of the Cana
dams in the fight for Regina trench
during the battle of the Somme on
November 30, 1916, and was decorated
by King George with the Military
Cross. Yet only few days ago, when
It came to asking a beautiful young
lady to be his bride, the gallant Cana
dian faltered.
The signing of the armistice and the
victory ball, however, seemingly
spurred the lieutenant to further eff
forts, for on the night of the ball, Miss
June Elvidge, a well-known moving
picture star, looked so radiantly beau
tiful that the lieutenant summoned up
all his courage and asked her to be
his bride, and within A hours Miss FL
vidge had changed her name to Mrs.
Badgley.

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA
Doctor Says to Cut Out Fruits, Sweets
and All Fried Foods.

To be immune from influenza cut
out fruits, greasy foods, sirups, confec-
tionery. honey and fried foods. This is
the advice of DR.. Frederick de Lue of
Boston, an expert.
Here are some of Doctor de Lue's
influenza pointers:
Influenza bacillus locates most
readily in rheumatic people. Acids in
the system are the cause of colds.
Chocolate that we give our soldier
boys makes acid, and acid serves as
food for the influenza bacilli. Boiled
rice is a better ration than chocolate.

CROWN JEWELS IN AMERICAN
Strong Belief That Precious Stones
Belonging to Former Reigning
Families Have Come Here.

Vague and exciting rumors are
abroad that some of the famous crown
jewels of Europe are being smuggled
into the United States and sold secret
ly. The staff of the collector of the
port of New York has been increased
to almost double its former size to
make war on the jewel smugglers.
A number of large diamonds recent
ly have been sold in the city to mil
lionaires' families. This information
has reached the authorities but the
sales were engineered so adroitly that
no action was deemed wise. Where
these large stones came from Is an
enigma. That they were not previously
owned in America seems certain. and,
as there Is no record Of their having
passed through the custom house, the
inference is that they were struggled
In from abroad. How the smugglerS
did the trick is question the secret
service so far has been unable to
answer.
If it is true that the European
crown jewels have been Struggled into
this country, 1t is believed the thieves
will cut them into q number of smaller
gems before selling them. Such proc
ess would completely hide their iden-
tity. One of these historic diamonds Is
worth fortune in itself. The Orion
of Russia cost Prince Orlof S15O,OOO
In the eighteenth century, and today,
when the demand for diamonds Is
greater than the supply, it would be
worth several times that. Good dia-
monds now bring from $3.50 to $3.50
q carat.
The crown jewels Of Russia, Ger
many and Austria mysteriously disap-
peared in the disasters that overlook
the reigning houses Of these coun-
tries. 1t was reported that the czarina
saved the Russian gems by smuggling
them to relatives in Hesse-Darmstadt.
This rumor was never verified and so
far as Is known, the Jewels have not
been found in the German principality
since the end of the war. Many believe
the gems were stolen by revolutionists,
and sooner or later will be sold IN
other countries.
1t is thought the German royal FAM
ily secreted the German crown jewels
before the kaiser fled to Holland, and
that Kaiser Karl took the Austrian
Jewels with him into Switzerland. But
this Is not certain. All the world
knows is that the crown Jewels of both
nations have disappeared, leaving no
clews by which they can be traced

Saint SWeenY.

Saint Sweeny was real flesh and
blood saint. He was nineteenth In
succession to Saint Patrick In the See
Of Armagh, and succeeded to the arch
bishopric in A. D. us. "The Four
Masters" as also the Book Of Lem
ster, states him son Of Cronmall, son
Of Roman of the Ui-Niallain.
'The Leabhar Breac calls him In
Sui, that is the sage. His death is set
down as occurring June p, 100 (recte
1907. on which day his festival is men,
toned in the Martyrology of Donegal.
"All the lists have him sitting flf-
teen years but that in the Yellow Book
Of Lecan, which assigns only twelve"
In Irish the name is spelled Sublime,
but has been anglicized Sweeny, which
approaches very nearly the true pro-
nunciation. In the Anglo-Saxon Chron-
icle at the date A. d. 892 the death Of
the celebrated Sublime, son Of Mae
lumha, anchorite and scribe Of Clon-
machnois, is recorded as follows: "In
the same year S92 died Swifneh, the
most learned doctor among the Scots"
This clearly indicates the contempor:
airy pronunciation Of the name. He
was one Of the three Irishmen who
visited Alfred the Great in S91.

TYPES MET ON THE TRAIN
Observant Man Has Divided His Eel
low Travellers Into Types, and
Makes Remarks Thereon.

Roughly, fellow railway passengers
may be divided into those who want
to talk and those who don't. There
are then countless subdivisions, among
which are: Those who want to be
seen off and those who don't; those
who like the windows open and those
who don't; those who stare and those
who don't; those who travel with chill
dren and those who don't; those who
cause the tunnels to smell of brandy
and those who don't; those who buy
papers of their own and those VINO
borrow them, and those who know that
the train will take them where they
want to go, without changing and those
who don't, according to E. V. Lucas In
Land and Water.
The list is by no means exhausted,
but the first group IS the most I'M
portant, because it is the takers who
have the greatest power to mar jour
ney. One can ignore the vagaries OF
the others, but the persistent talker Is
not to be disregarded, however alb
sorbing ones novel may be, and par
ticularly so when he sits In the oppO-
site seat and has rowing and compell'
ing eye, as he almost always has.
That mechanical nuisance, the rail-
way wag, seems to be on the decline.
At any rate, ii is long since / saw
any fresh signs of the old obliterative
facetiousness which removed the IS"
from seat" so that each side Of the
compartment was made to "eat five
persons" or reduced until the train
stops" to until the rain stops" But
once there were few carriages which
had not been under this humorists
knife. Another railway character,
which no doubt exists, never have
seen at ALL l refer to the man who
but I will tell you. There was
mixed discussion the other day upon
the performers of actions which gave
distinction by their rarity, and l won
by naming this parsonage. What, the
argument ran, was the most uncom-
mon thing which. in a normal sphere,
any of us had done; that Is to say,
TERRA del Fuego. but where tall hats
are worn and offices attended?
Well, this one had shaken hands
with the king and that one had caught
our Tom Hayward; this one had es-
capped from a house on fire, and that
had arrested burglar In his own din
ing room. But such deeds, though re-
markable, are not unique; other men
have clasped the regal fingers, and
Tom Hayward Is not exclusively
bowled, or run out, or stumped. or
given Every unfairly leg before;
while fires and burglaries are Of too
constant occurrence. Hence 1t was
I who beat them all by saying that I
had once stopped train by pulling the
communication cord. I hadn't, Of
course, but 1t carried the day. Not
only was 1t untrue. Of myself, but I
have never met anyone Of whom It
was true or who was in a train when
such thing happened.

Iceland In History.

Iceland was settled long before
America had been discovered. About
LOO years ago some Scandinavian
sailors were overtaken by a violent
storm. After the ship had been tossed
about in the rough sea, theg arrived at
the shore of Iceland. Later, when the
weather became calmer, they sailed all
around the land, and so knew that II
was an island. But 1t was not until
about a hundred years later that
Norwegian named Floki, having heard
rumors Of the new land, set out from
Norway to find and explore 1t. Floki
did not fare very well In Iceland
which was largely his own fault. For
one thing, he did not make any hay
in the summer, so, Of course, all the
cattle he had taken with him died
In the winter, for there was nothing
for them to eat. So, very much dis
couraged, he returned to Norway and
gave bad reports of Iceland. But II
happened that Haraldr. one of tho
many chiefs who ruled Norway, made
up his mind to conquer the other chiefs
and make himself king Of all. For q
long time there was fierce and bitter
warfare between Haraldr and the
other chiefs. But he was very strong
and rich, and finally succeeded In max.
ing himself king. Then his former en-.
emies had to fee from Norway. Some
went TO Scotland and Ireland some to
the Hebrides and Orkney and Shetland
islands-and some went to Iceland.
That was the beginning Of the settle
ment of Iceland.
