Like Tulip Buds.

TIC the mernaids our summers
work would have looked like vast
field of tulip buds fifty feet or so I'M
der water, swaying on their long,
slender STEMS" the speaker said.
Among the numberleSS schemes for
winning the war that poured into
Washington when this country began
hostilities, Capt. Belkuap said, was
an invention adaptable to submarine
mine, from a Cambridge, Mass. man,
named Brown, which was utilized IN
the North sea operations.
Making the mines, each containing
500 pounds of INT was the first prob
lem. About 500 American contractors
were enlisted in that task. The mines
were made in parts and so shipped to
Norfolk, Va. because of the need for
utmost secrecy From here they were
taken to Scotland and assembled. The
voyage across the Atlantic of the
mine-laying squadron was one of
great danger. for the vessels cruised
SEQ yards apart and an explosion of
one might have destroyed the entire
number.
Transportation of all the mines
alone was a major task. the speaker
said, since the mine case and anchor
together weighed l, 400 pounds and il
was estimated that carrying the mines
across would absorb $4,000 tons of
shipping for five months.
Another problem was to develop
personnel IOF the TASK around the
nucleus of trained men. The Navy al
ready had comparatively small num-
Der of men trained for such work.
LAS il in anticipation of this very
war operation, we had planted a three
line mine field just below Sandy Hook
one fine day in December. 1s16-200
loaded mines. We did not tell the
press about it, as it might have caused
anxiety. and we took them all up
next day." Capt Belknap said.
America ingenuity did not stop
with devising a new mine. Since one
deck of the ships available. with four
of the tracks" which carry the mines,
would hold only $50. it was thought
the planting could be speeded up by
Installing elevators between the decks.
So well was this done that out of
the thirty-two elevators only one fall
ed-just one-during the period Of
e1ryice

Committee Thanks Donors.

The Washington committee takes OPP
portunity to express its sincere thanks
to all who have supported its work
so cordially, especially those, and they
are numerous, who have done it at per-
sonal sacrifice. I'VE are sure they
would feel more than repaid could they
read the letters Of gratitude from the
widows and from the children which
constantly arrive from France" says
Miss Winslow.
The need of these women and
children for friends is as great as
their material needs, and their pleas
ure in being put into direct CORE
spondence with American families is
very touching. One woman writes,
I keep all your letters, and in mo-
ments of encouragement and loneli-
ness / reread them and ! thank God
that in these dark days He has
placed in my path such a good friend.

SOCIETY HEARS NAVY MAN

When the United States entered the
war the American Navy proceeded to
fight the submarine menace on the
principle that savage beasts are
trapped best near their dens." Capt
Reginald r. Belknap, U. S. N, told
members of the National Geographic
Society at the New Masonic Temple
Friday afternoon and evening.
The speaker said that Great
Britain's admiralty staff holds that
the signing of the armistice and the
surrender of the German navy were
directly due to the failure of the Hun
U-boat warfare.
Capt. BeIknap described, for the
first time, how an American squadron
sowed the mines in a sort of deep-sea
furrow from Scotland to Norway. a
distance as far as from New York to
Boston.

Housatonic Makes Record.

Now we watch the Housato a
hew ship, with a new. untried in
Btallation, doing a string of SIS mines
one every eleven and or1e-half sec
onds-throughout two hours and ten
minutes" Capt Belknap said. Her
mate is standing by. ready for any
interruption, but the Housatonic COM
pletes the task without a break--a
record up to that time"
Capt Belknap recalled that one
cargo of INT had been sufficient to
wreck Halifax and that the mine
laying expeditions carried ten such
cArgoes-
- There were in all thirteen excur-
isions by our squadron and eleven by
the British mine-laying squadron"
Capt Belknap said. Twice the two
squadrons were Joined together to lay
their mines in company. The first such
occasion our Rear Admiral Strauss
went out in command of the joint
force; the second time Rear Admiral
CiintoD-Baker, R. n, and on one of
them the ten American ships planted
$500 mines. the four British ships
1890, making a total of $3.50 planted
in four hours.
The whole barrier contained 70,117
mines, of which 56,571. or four-fifths.
were ours. We steamed altogether
500 miles while on these excursions
in IT'S hours"
Rear Admiral Victor Blue, L. S. ",
introduced the speaker. and paid a
high tribute to the part the mine
laying squadron had performed in
helping win the war

Anxious to Join Suicide Club.

Though mine planting was recog-
nized as haza rdous-the crews of the
vessels came TO be known as the sui
eide elub"-rnen were anxious to join
and they adopted the slogan stick to
your job and go with it," In two in
stances, Capt Belknap said, men hast
ened the construction of ships being
uotfitted for mine planting, like
Perry's men building their own ships
TO fight and win the battle of Lake
Erie"
Speaking of the first excursion"
as the mine-planting expeditions were
called, the speaker compared il to a
horse race with the starters flag sus-
pended and every man keyed up after
mouths-for some of them years-of
preparation.
The figures told the success of the
excursions"
