AS THEY GET IT

If teachers and parents could see
the thought-processes in the minds Of
the children to whom they think they
have impaired wisdom, they would
view some astonishing things. A
writer in Lippincotts a few years
ago told of young teacher who had
taken special pains to implant a
knowledge of United States history
and. at the final examination to test
this knowledge gave the question,
what character do you like best and
why?" Anybody can imagine her
amazement when she read the follow
ing replies:
Andrew Jackson, because he whip
ped the British with an old hickory"

ONLY J.. s. mystery SHIP"
TORPEDOED ON FIRST TRIP

PARIS, Jan. 10. Correspondence Of
The Associated Press. misfortune and
i%ll-luck followed the American navy's
only mystery ship the Santee.
When the American squadron arrived
at Queenstown and began to cooperate
with the British fleet the exploits Of
the various British mystery ships fired
the imagination of American officers
and men alike. The Americans wanted
a mystery ship and We're so insistcnt
that Admiral Sims took the matter up
with. Admiral Bailey and the British
Americans a magnificent new decoy
ship which was just completed.
1t was a handsome ~freighter in APP
p%earance, larger than the average mys-
terry ship, with its periscope masked by
a smokestaCk and with torpedo tubes
and batteries so skillfully concealed
that a trained eye could not discover
the real nature of the craft, even at
close range.
Capt. David Hanrahan was assigned
to command the ship, which the Ameri-
cans christened the Santee. There were
hundreds of volunteers among officers
and men for the hazardous service the
Santee was about to undertake,
Full of confidence and high hopes.
the Santee started for the Irish channel
to bait German submarines. The stars
were shining brightly the first night the
Santee was out and she loafed in the
hope of attracting the enemy under
sea craft.
Exactly at midnight without the
slightest warning the Santee was struck
amidships by a torpedo which tore a
tremendous hole in her and completely
disabled her engines. She Immediate
~ wirelessed her plight ad part of her
crew put to sea in small boats.
Like all mystery ships, the Santee was
filled with wood and could not sink.
Her gunners stood ready to unmask the
batteries and fire upon the submarine.
but the German did not show himself.
All night long the Santee gunners
watched for the enemy. For &c hours
the portion of the crew still on the
Santee kept in hiding, hoping the
enemy would appear, but in vain.
A slow tug was summoned to take
the Santee back to n %shipyard in the
south Of England. She was dragged
through the submarine zone at two
miles an hour in the hope Of inviting
further attack, but without results. The
canny Germans evidently had full in
formation about the Santee and gave
her a wide berth.
1t took man. months to repair the
damage done by the well-blaCed torpedo
and the submarine campaign was off
before the Santee was able to make
another trip.
