many British army and navy officers
who had been over before l never
heard so many fine war stories, and
have enough to fill a book, having
made notes of the best ones Sudden
ly about eleven o'clock that last night
we heard a loud noise, the ship shiv-
cred and careened over on her side
There" exclaimed a British navy Off
Ger, none of us moving, "they have got
in a shot boys !" And, sure enough,
they had. We did not know where
then, but we were hit forward in an
alright compartment, our ship hap
pening to be of that type, and we at
once righted in the water, though the
explosion was something terrific on
our nerves, and it was not an engaging
experience even to an experienced fell
low. but we had the habit of standing
fire, | guess, from all the stories we
had heard and We're nerved up to bear
ing up and showing little or no fright.
There were just an even dozen ships
in our convoy, all carrying men or sup
plies over There were two torpedoes
that were shot at that time, one get
ting the bow of our ship, the other get
ting the one alongside of us in the
stern. That afternoon we had been
wirelessed that one of the Z. S. battle
ships that had met us and subsequent
~ left us had got one of the four sub
marines that had been sighted that
afternoon. We had every reason to
believe that the sub that almost got us
was one of the remaining three. /
really had the most wonderful trip in
the world and cannot tell the half of
it. / wrote my parents all about 1t at
the time, but they got only about six
lines. Evidently | had overstepped
the proprieties and the censor caught
the rest"
"Any trouble getting back?"
"Oh, no. The war was over then,
and, being on government business. l
was able to get away when my mission
was fulfilled. | was greatly impressed
by the care with which the govern
ment safeguarded it's interests with
every one aboard ship. In leaving New
York, as soon as we were out in mid
stream, the captain called every pas
senger in the main cabin and gave us
talk. We were made to understand
that we were under military rule
aboard ship that certain rules would
be enforced. The first thing he did
was to tell us to go back to our state
rooms, those that had time, and put on
our life preservers we would find there
and report back in 10 minutes. We
were told how to put them on and take
them off, and any one who was later
found derelict in this life belt drill or
without his life belt day or night
would be duly dealt with. All the way
over the most careful discipline was
maintained. The passengers were
treated exactly like soldiers so far as
discipline was concerned.
"The boat was completely darkened
from 5 p. m. to Il. M, and for the last
three nights we were instructed to
sleep in our clothes The trip home
was an entirely different story, and it
was great relief to feel that our only
danger lay in hitting floating mine"

A police officer in New York city

Thoughts Of Today
A Question of Habit.

Several readers have asked, "What
is the moral of the story of the tobac-

that the true object is reformation in
it's better sense by substitution. Thus
induce him to chew, whereas if he
chews tobacco induce him to smoke.
In this way he becomes changed man

London.-President and Mrs. Wilson
are now at Buckingham Palace after a
journey from Calais to London, dur.
ing which they were accorded all
honors ever given royalty. Never has
royal progress, except those of
great national ceremonials, excited
such interest here as the first state
visit of an American President.
The drive of the short procession
from the station to the palace was
made through streets lined with The
Guard Regiments in khaki. Fresh
flags flew overhead and covered the
buildings, while windows, balconies,
sidewalks and open spaces were filled
with people, many of whom wore Am.
erican colors.
IL was a brief spectacle. First came
the sovereign's escort of troops from

and steel cuirasses. Then came Tho
carriages, with King George and Pre-

followed by three others, which pass

WORK AND PLAY TOGETHER
BY MRS. PRESTON r. oAss.


Very little children Of two and three
years require the cOmpaniOnship of
other children in work and play as
much as those of recognized kinder
garten age. The child of two is in
tensely interested In the activities Of
children four, five and six years old,
and is able TO initiate, enlarge his
knowledge and experience, and even
share in their activities. The activi-
ties of the adults about him, while they
can be initiated and in some measure
shared by him, cannot have the same
value in his mental or physical devel-
opment.
When daddy saws large board with
large saw, the two-year-old is inter-
ested but when the four-year-old saws
sibly making some toy that will be
used by the little one, he Is more than
lnterested-he saws wood as soon as
he can. Watch an adult try TO amuse
this two-year-Old with a new box of
blocks. Invariably the blocks are piled
high for steps, towers, arches and so
forth, and the little child finds great
delight in sending the blocks tumbling
with crash to the floor. He takes
no particular pleasure in the building
| Of one block upon another and we
| think he has not yet reached the age
! for building. Now the group of older
children making structures with these
same blocks do not pile them one up
on another, but lay them side by side,
to form the walls of house for the
doll or a barn for the Yoolly dog. And
Immediately the little one is interest
ed. not in tumbling the blocks down,
however, but In laying them beside
each other, one after another.
In Any Home.
Many mothers realize this need OF
their children to have group activity
but know of no way in which to bring
the group together until they are ready
for the regular kindergarten. 1t can
be accomplished in almost any home
however, if the mother is willing to de
vote n few hours a day to working
and playing with the children in the
Immediate neighborhOod under school
age. or those at home for the long sum
mer vacation.
Whenever the weather will permit
activities are best carried on out OF
doors and very little equipment Is nee
essary; sand pile, If possible, an un
used kitchen table, or wide board laid
