WAR RECORD OF LEVIATHAN
Monster Transport Carried Many
Thousands of Soldiers to
French Ports.

The giant transport Leviathan, fol-
lowing her arrival in New York har-
Dor with Gen. Pershing and troops of
the First division. brought to a close
her important service in helping win
the war. The big ship, after being
refitted for passenger service, is to be
turned back to the United States ship
ping board, the agency which seized
it when the United States entered the
war. While the future of the ship
is uncertain. it is reported that she
will be assigned to American passen-
ger trade between New York and
Liverpool, with possible extension in
the future of a service to Hamburg.
The Leviathan, formerly the Water
land, the second largest ship in the
world, was informed in New York by
the Germans in 1914. She was will
fully damaged" to the extent of more
than $1,000,000 After being recon
ditioned by American engineers, she
was assigned as transport, and
during and since the war made 10
round trips on the Atlantic carrying
a total of 1S5500 soldiers, of whom
9S,321 were carried overseas through
submarine infested seas. She was al.
ways a mark for U-boats, but her
speed and the armament with which
she was equipped saved her.

HALEY'S COMET 81 YEARS AGO
is Same Terrific Wanderer in Space
That Has Appeared Down
the Ages.

The world was up all night Septem-
Der u, 1910. Haley's comet blazed
across the roof of the world. This
great comet" whose revolution Oc-
cupied 292 years, was first seen in Au-
gust, 1858, by a gentleman in Altoona,
but Haley's comet named after the
astronomer who calculated its prog
resS, is the same terrific wanderer in
depths of space that has appeared
down the ages, and to which success
Sive names have been given-Bela'S
comet. Donati's comet, etc. From the
records of history it seems that the
comet appears to fOretell some world
disaster. 1t appeared before the fall
of Jerusalem under Titus in the reign
of Louis the Debonair, S37, and the
king died shortly after; it appeared
before the death of Caesar, 43 =. c..
Again it appeared three years after
the capture of COnstantinople by the
Turks 1456, 1t appeared in 1861, just
before the Civil war, and in 1910, be-
fore the great war.
WHAT is a comet! IL is member
of the solar republic-a hirsute star
a vagabond orb, that travels at almost
incalculable speed, whose tail is fifty
five million miles long-who approach
es the sun, not to be consumed in it,
but to draw from that radiant source
the energy necessary for its future
travels in the unknown abysses of the
armament. 1t has its own orbit which
it follows. What mind dare follow
that?
