fort is the United States mining cruis-
er squadron whose commanders and
crews performed what is now termed
by naval authorities the world over
as the greatest naval offensive of the
war"
The feat which these men achieved
was the mining of the entrance to the
North sea from Scotland to the coast
Of Norway, a distance of 240 miles. 1t
was an undertaking unprecedented in
naval history.
1t was Americas solution of the
German submarine problem, a solu-
ton so thorough and effective that 1t
rendered the German submarines al
most impotent.
The British previously had mined
the English channel. but the enemy
submarines came out from the bases
at Ostend and Zeebrugge and into the

Invite Yankee Aid.
The British naval authorities, realiz-
ing late in 1917 that the North sea
would have to be blocked, invited the
American naval authorities to attempt
to lay the barrier. The American
navy, having just at that time COM
pleted with success experiments on
mining apparatus far more dangerous,
delicate, and powerful than any here
tofore used, took up the task.
For that purpose the mining cruiser
squadron was organized in December,

Despite all this, we kept at the
task, and at the end Of about five
months had completed 1t. We stayed
constantly on the inside of the field,
that is, on the side nearest Germany.
We left only a narrow passageway
near Pentland Firth between the DIRK
ney islands and Scotland for our own
passage out.
Our most dangerous task strange
Iy was not the laying Of the mines, as
dangerous as that was. The most
dangerous one came after the mine
field had been completed. It was an
attempt to draw the German feet out
into the North sea where we were to
engage 1t, so that the British feet
could get in behind the enemy to de-
stroy 1t by gunfire or drive it into the
mine field.

For Cattle
Thieves Discussed

Deadwood, 8. D., March Allow
much money constitutes an adequate
reward" for, putting South Dakota au-
thorities on the trail of a cattle thief ?
This question, seriously debated by
senators and representatives from the
Black Hills and from other counties,
is formally before the state Legislature
in session at. Pierre. Some Of the
men attending the session seemingly
still believe that the authorities made
a grave mistake" when they official
ly frowned on the former method
which South Dakotans used in deal
ing with rustlers.
A bill introduced in the senate pro-
vides hat counties shall be author
lied to "offer rewards for the arrest
and conviction Of cattle thieves"
Advocates of the bill differ on the
maximum amount Of the reward and
suggestions vary from $1,000 down to
500. Supporters of the smaller
amount take the position that the re-
ward is merely an incidental and that
the only way to meet the cattle thief
menace is for every honest rancher to
Immediately report suspicious Incl
dents. Other legislators hold that
ranchers with small herds who live In
isolated regions would leave them
selves exposed to the vengeance of
rustlers, II they should aggresively at
tempt to trail. the thieves.
It is expected that a compromise
amount, as a reward, will be agreed
upon.

Licensing OF Clammers
On Mississippi Urged

Winona, Mimi, March 4.-Licens-
ing Of clammers at the rate Of 81 each
per season and requi ling these oper-
ators to report their hauls at the end
of the season is being advocated by
Mississippi river men this year,. with
the Legislatures of Minnesota and
Wisconsin in session.
The attention Of the Wisconsin
conservation commission has been ar
rested. 1t Is expected that the BUSH
ness will grow this rear, although the
clam beds have been badly depleted
because Of unrestricted raids in
other 8 v.
The claiming industry was started
along the Mississippi about twenty
years ago. The initiation of the trade
was modest but it grew steadily.
For those who were engaged in the
claiming business, the business was
profitable for years. Factories for the
manufacture Of pearl buttons from
these CLAIMS were established along
the stream and at various points these
thriwed. Entire families, at times,
were engaged in claiming. The river
was dotted with the small craft with
hooks which industriously moved over
the river.
At the outset the Mississippi rive.
clammers received only IS a ton for
these shells but the price advanced
steadily. This year the market quo
tations are from $2S to $35 a ton.

He told the board that A. G. Town
