He then describes, very generally, The
Evolution of the Submarine, in which he
touches very lightly on our contributions
to this branch OF naval invention, gives
the impression that all of the Confederate
submarines Of the civil war (scarcely q
true type) were propelled by steam, and
calls the C. S. S. Hundley, which de-
stroyed the q. s. S. Housatonic by tor
pedo attack in Charleston harbor in 1854,
by the name David, which really was the
class name for these boats. The Hundley,
as is very well known, was propelled
through the water by eight men who
turned her propeller shaft with their
hands.
The chapter on The Submarine Of To-
day is written in a most engaging fashion
and is singularly clear in its descriptions
of the method of operating submarines.
The account Of A British Submarine Base
Is another capital bit Of descriptive writ
ing, but best Of all is the chapter devoted
to British Submarines in the Dardanelles.
In one sense there is nothing new in this
narrative except "Mr. Einstein's' COM
ments on Turkish accounts Of what the
British undersea boats were doing in their
home waters By Mr.. Einstein we pre-
sumo he means Mr.. Lewis Einstein, who
at one time was secretary of the American
Legation at Constantinople. Surely his
quoted notes are characteristically Ameri-
can In their racy humor. The narrative
of what these British submarine command
ers did in the Dardanelles, the Sea of Mar
mora and at the very gates of Con-
stantinople cannot be told too often, for
they are among the most resourceful and
gallant tales In naval history.
The volume also contains chapters on
the work OF the destroyers, trawlers,
smacks, U-boats and the mosquito craft.

"Fisherman's Verse"
and Golden Stars"

BY CONSTANCE MURRAY GREENE
TWO books of verse which have come
l. to us In the past week IRE Fish
erman's Verse; an anthology, and Golden
Stars, Henry van Dykes latest volume,
a slender volume in very truth. 1t would
appear practically impossible at first
glance to deal jointly with these two
books. They hang together by substan-
tial thread none the less. The introduc-
ton to Fisherman's Verse, the only thing
about it that would lead any one to wish
to own it, is DR.. van Dykes. He is well
known to be a champion of "the gentle
art" and although he has in our estima-
ton encouraged In this case the doing Of
thing that had better been left undone,
he has gone about it so pleasantly as to
incur no i'll viii.
The poems have been chosen by Will
Jams Haynes and Joseph lie Roy Harri-
son and include many varieties of fish
poems with an overabundance Of those
which deal with the technique of the sport.
But as it is intended primarily as a sort
Of handy guide to fishermen to be carried
In that voluminous vest pocket for which
libraries are daily In preparation, this
will not work it woe. James WhitcomE
Riley. Andrew Lang, Eugene Field, Rob-
ert Bridges and newer favorites such as
Edgar A. Guest are represented. For
those who prefer to view III ancient art
from the angle of the fish there are nu-
merous selections, most notable among
them The Fish, by Rupert Brooke, per-
haps the most imaginative poem Of its
sort ever written. But it is not conducive
to enjoyment in the act of removing fish
from that "cool curving world where they
cripple with dark ecstasies." To fish as
Brooke imagines him,
Emusic is
The exquisite knocking of the blood.
Space is no more, under the mud;
His bliss is older than the sun.
Silent and straight the waters run,
The lights, the cries, the willows dim,
And the dark tide are one with him"
DR.. van Dyke has brought out his little
volume of verses to crafty those who have
expressed desire for the title poem, Gold
en- Stars, which was written as an ode for
the memorial service at Princeton Uni
versity last December. 1t includes his war
poems since the publication of The Red
FIo,rer, poems which he describes as the
"record of some of the varied feelings of
an old lover of peace who was willing to
fight for it."

Villas County at State Fair.

In mentioning the various county
exhibits at the state fair, The
Wisconsin Farmer gives the follow
ing account of Villas county's show
ing:
s'With a fine crop year just closing
Villas county was able to bring one OF
the best northern Wisconsin exhibits
to the state fair that has ever been
placed. She had great alsike and me-
dunn red clovers, all the four leading
early and late potato varieties, great
samples of threshed grain, very good
clean fruit and plenty of well ripened
field corn. Villas always turns the
trick with good standard crops ex-
.hibit, and upholds the banner of up
per Wisconsin very we'll indeed. Oscar

The navy's nationwide drive to
"Man the Fleet" started Monday and
until Nov 18th an intensive recruit
ing campaign will be conducted in
every city and state in the United
States.
In Wisconsin and thesUpper PENN
sula of Michigan the ''Man the Fleet
manoeuyers, will be directed from the
office of Commander Fl. Ertz, U. S.
Navy Recruiting Station, 222 Grand
Ave, Milwaukee, Wis.
Flying squads of sailors will be sent
to every part of the district to explain
to the psblic the opportunities Tor

healthy, moral life, that the navy has
in store for its enlisted personnel.
The navy schools are at present
open to recruits and even such tech
nical branches as naval aviation re-
ceive unframed men who are at once
placed in classes where they learn all
that pertains to the mechanical side
of the flying game. The school for
aviation mechanics at Great Lakes,
which is the largest of it's kind in the
world and has assembled more avia-
tion material than is in every other
school, has received many of the re-
cent recruits from the district. Any
young American who qualities in
physical respects for the naval ser
vice, is eligible for the aviation me-
chanics school, provided he is seven
teen years of age or over.
Men who enlist in the Navy during
the drive may choose the training
station to which they wish to be
transferred. In addition to Great
Lakes, Ill, Newport, R. l., Hampton
Roads, Va. and San Francisco, Cal.
are open to the recruit, who has only
to specify which one he prefers and
he will be sent there at once. Many
young men are expected to choose the
west coast, as service with the Pacific
Fleet is most desirable. In the Paci-
fic Fleet is the Mississippi, command
ded by Capt. VIM A Moffett, for
merly commandant at Great Lakes
and the Texas, under Capt. Nathan

About Newspaper Errors.

No matter how sensitive those who

iting copy are and no matter how
carefully they try to avoid errors
there is hardly an issue of a paper
but which has some mistake or other
in it, Many times these errors are
decidedly hnmiliating to the man
who made them and otherwise high
ly amusing to the public. Altho
in every Office eagle eyes are watching
for mistakes, the human element has
always to be taken into considera-
tion. A New York paper is credited

Take No Chances With Fire.

Fire is a destroyer of your homes
and endangers the lives of those dear
to you.
Heating plant fire hazards are still
the largest one cause of Wisconsin
fires and FIRE waste.
Over 29q6 of the 1918 Wisconsin fires
and about 1872 of the fire waste were
due to such hazards.
The following statistics from the
1918 Wisconsin fire reports clearly
point out these defects and the much
needed remedies for the guidance and
instruction Of the fire inspectors and
all citizens.
Without the full AMI active coop
