run alongside the big ship. But Craven
took the chances. He manipulated the
little ship with great skill and got
another hundred American soldier
boys. In all he saved about 600, leav-
ing only 357 to perish, and nearly all
these were lost in the effort to jump
from the big ship to the little de-

Craven landed the GOO in Belfast.

from the exposure and wounds, but the

A British admiral i'm discussing the

account for her standing the pounding

fact that her hull was cold riveted

The heads of the rivets held.
1t was different with the kashmere,
which l afterwnrd saw in Glasgow.
Her bow was crushed in. The rivet
heads had given away and the plates
opened up. She had been hot riveted.
English naval officers are giving
study to this rivet question, and are
preparing report to the admiralty
for future consideration in the build
ing of deStrOyers.
In the meantime all America owes
n debt of gratitude to Lieut. Craven.
But for his pluck and seamanship not
a man from the Otranto would have
lived to tell the tale.

the fact that America was preparing
for a drive on Berlin struck terror to

And those millions and billions OK
dollars spent were far from being
wasted in an unnecessary preparation,

spent and that an enormous output Of
munitions was ready was the control
ling factor in the weakening OF the
German general staff, and that it caus-
ed their message to the kaiser that

is that this money, instead OF being
wasted. can be written down as hav-
ing saved the lives OF hundred OF
thousands OF American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year
THAT is the money we are gong

them FOR the money to bring our boys

THINKS POSSESSION OF MONEY
CHANGES CHARACTER
By Winifred Black

7 HAD q letter from my old
friend today.
\ I haven't seen him in years
or heard from him, either, and he
was such a dear friend when l
knew him.
Clever, goOd-humOred, quick
witted, honest, coursgeOus-WhyJ
he even stood by a friend when it
was unpopular 70 do it, and once
I heard him sit up at the table Of
a b dinner party and defend a
woman who had been foolish but
never wicked, and whose old ac-
0uaintances were having a
gorgeous time picking her to
pieces. They were all people who
had taken favors from the foolish
woman, and many Of them were
under deep obligations to her, so
Of course they were very bitter and
couldn't think how she had the
face to live at all.
And my old friend told the
truth about her, and limited the
truth about those at the table, and
I've always liked him very much
since then.
Some Terrible Cases.
He was an artist, distinguished
in his own country, struggling in
this-not very we'll to do as far as
money went, but oh, so rich in
promise, in hope and in friends!
Now he's rich. Some one left
him some money, and he heard
that I was in town and wrote me
a letter, and tonight he's coming
to take me to dine and I'm awful
" worried about it.
I'm 80 afraid he's changed.
Somehow It seems to be awtu1ly
hard to be rich and to be human
at the same time.
That old fairy tale about the
rich man whose touch turned ev-
rything to gold meant whole lot,
didn't It?
Do YOU remember even when his
daughter ran out to meet him and
he forgot and held out his arms to
her. she turned in one instant into
a statue-Of gold.
And poor Midas didn't know
what on earth to do with the
statue, for he had all the gold he
wanted and he didn't care at all
for statues-and he didn't have
any little girl and there wasn't
anyone in the world who really
loved him.
How often that seems to be
true-the old, old story. / knew
q rich man who has a beautiful
daughter, and he is so afraid that
somebody will marry her for her
money that he's made a will set
Ting so much and so much upon
her 50 long as she does not marry.
And the girl wants more than he
