in expressing the sentiments
which II inevitably. suggests.
I'm observing the day we COM
memorate not only the reunion
OF our own country but also now
the liberation OF tho world from
one OF the most serious dangers
TO which free government and the
free life OF men wherever ex-
posed.
I'VE have buried the gallant
and now immortal men who died
In this great war OF liberation
with n new sense OF conservation.
Our thoughts and purpose now
are consecrated 70 the mainte-
nance OF the liberty OF the world
and OF the union OF Its people In
a single comradeship OF liberty
and OF right.
1T was for this that our men
conscientiously offered their lives.
They came TO the field OF battle
with the high spirit ana pure
heart Of Crusaders. We must
never forget the duty that their
sacrifice has laid upon us OF full
filling their hopes and their pur-
pose to the utmost. This. 1t
seems TO me, is the impressive
lesson and the inspiring mandate

JUST IN TIME TO SAVE WIFE
Gambler Arrives Home to Find Spouse
Unconscious From Fumes of
Escaping Gas.

San Francisco.-Here is the case of
a man who stayed out late gambling
and came home to save the life of his
wife. He deserves credit.
His name is Lee Wah and his wife
is Sing All. She got tired of waiting
for Lee and went to bed in disgust.
She forgot to turn off the gas com.
pletely, so that she was Unconscious
from the fumes when he returned. He
was loser up to that time
Lee struck a match when he came
in. There was bang and lot of fire
works on account of the accumulation
of gas.
Lee Wah landed out in the hallway
on his shoulder blades. The bed his
wife was sleeping in was tipped over
A window was blown out and the plas.
ter was Jared from the wall.
When it was all over the police and
the fire department came. The wife
was taken to the hospital, where she
was revived. Lee Wah recovered be-
sore that. The couple were reconciled
when each of them learned of the
circumstances.

ALLIED SUBS PERILED
Were Constantly Harried by Their
Own WarShipS.
British Submarine Nearly Destroyed
by American Vessels While
Being Tested.

LondOn.-One Of the greatest perils
to allied submarines during the war
was attack by friendly destroyers. A
submarine was assumed to be an enc
my when sighted by the ships of any
allied nation and 1t was up to the sub
marine to show recognition signals If
she was not German.
But if 1t was destroyer that sight
ed the submarine she was always max
ing for the little craft by the time the
recognition signals could be shown. A
slight hitch in getting up flag or fir
ing rocket would mean the subma-
Ene would be forced to seek safety
beneath the surface.
Probably the last attack of this sort
was made by American destroyers on
a new British submarine of a large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system, and
the underwater vessel submerged as
depth charges began to tear up the
water. One charge shook her until
the crew thought she was doomed.
The submarine was constructed to
dive 800 feet, but that was forgotten
as charge after charge exploded near
by. Finally she struck bottom at 300
feet and it was. found she was not
badly damaged. She was kept on the
bottom until her commander was GER
tain the destroyers had gone. Then
she was cautiously brought to the sur
face.
"She don't need any more testing
after that experience" the comman-
der reported to the officer in charge of
the submarine base.

RENT ROOMS BY CARD INDEX

Cleveland, GA card index system
similar in operation to a slot machine
has been adopted by the United States
home registration service in City Hall

ly select cards on which vacant rooms
meeting with the requirements of each
applicant are recorded. The SYSTEM
in a few seconds, gives complete infor.
nation of any of the 5000 vacant

The service, which is free, is intend
ed as clearing house between the

FIGHTING PARSON
GETS WAR CROSS
John Clifford Wearing Y. M. c. A.
Uniform, Proves Himself
Real Hero

New York, Jan. There have
many war heroes, but there is certainly
no more conspicuously heroic figure
than JohA H. Clifford, Baptist minis
ter in time Of peace, but real fighter
in time Of war, who has been awarded
the Croix de Guerre for extraordinary
herOism in action.
John Clifford, as Y. M. C. A.
worker, braved the red wrath of war.
He has been in the firing zone as
much as the hardest infantryman and
was decorated for a most unusual ex-
plot. He was one of three men who
braved incessant enemy she'll fire
While rescuing Col. Albertus w. Catlin.
commanding officer of the Sixth regi-
ment of Marines. The trio carried the
colonel to safety on a stretcher.
Mr.. Clifford went over the ton MANY
times and came near being killed on
several occasions. He is fiftv one
years old and was born at Oxford. Eng
land, and has preached the gospel in
many parts of the world. When given
chance to serve with the Y. M. c. A
in France, he knew that it was q
good thing, and he jumped at it.

HAD MIGHTY WEAPON
Big Ship Is Sunk by "Phantom
Torpedo"
British War Secret Of Disehargina Nile.
siIes From Alrplanes Is
Disclosed.

London.-"Phantom torpedoes" from
the clouds sank Turkish ship carry
ing 5000 troops, just before the end
of hOstilities. Only the aFmistice pre-
vented other aerial "'phantOms" from
operating effectively against the Ger
man warships In the Kiel Canal and
other German navy shelters.
These hydroplanes discharging tor
pedoes above the water have been
the great secret of the British navy
during the closing month of the war.
Scientific officers of this branch of
the navy agree that these mysterious
planes are designed to accomplish
from the air more effectively and
more swiftly what the tOrpedOes from
submarines can achieve.
An armored ship carrying twenty of
these machines met the German sur
rendered fleet at sea ready for action
in case the Germans should attempt
some eleventh-hour trickery.
These amazing planes ascend from
land or deck, climb thousands of feet
for sudden dive from the clouds at
speed of $50 miles an hour, straight
en- out fifty feet above the sea and
discharge a torpedo direct at the enc
my ship. Then they disappear into
the clouds as suddenly as they ap-
peared, and so swiftly that the enemy
craft has no chance of training it's
guns or machine guns on it.
How the difficulty of discharging a
torpedo in the air is overcome is a
naval secret. 1t is known that Sc
rious accidents marked the expert
mental tests with these wonderful ma
chimes.

a derision of religion. Another con-
