the German ships were blowing, and
they were having a great fest. After
about thirty hours we left, being es-
corted by mine-layer and q mine

said, $50 the english got all the rest,

the mouth with his bayonet hilt, SO I
quit kidding him.
We saw rows and rows of mines,
and the German sailors pointed out
what they said were H. Nj. IS. Lion
and Nomad. but do not know wheth-
er they were the same ones that were
In the Jutland battle or not. Finally
we landed at Swinemunde Just as the
bells were ringing the old year out
and the new year In. We were a fine
bunch Of blackbirds to hand the kaiser
for New Years present, believe me.
They mustered us up on deck, and
each OF us got a cup Of water for our

2 Then the Germans called out the
names Of those who had volunteered to
90 stoking and this included me. We
were drilled down the Hddley into the
IRE room. The hddley is shaft that
runs from the main deck Of ship to
the engine room. I looked around a
bit and cav German standing not
very far from the fiddley. SO asked

just when a man had begun to lose
his mind. He would seem lust like
the rest Of us. because none of us was
much better than q beast.
We could not take turns sleeping
and standing watch against the crazy
men, because when we talked about
1t. we agreed that none Of us could
tell whether or not the sentries would
go crazy while on watch and have the
rest OF US at their mercy. 1t was aw-
full to talk about going crazy In this
way, and to figure that you yourself
might be the next, and that 1t was al
most sure to happen If you did not
get some sleep soon. But 1t was worse
to find man near you going, and have
to boot him out with the other insane
men.
The days passed like that, with
nothing to do but suffer. and starve
and freeze. 1t got colder and colder,
and all we could wrap ourselves I'm
was the coal. We began to speculate
on where we were. 1t was not till
later than an old skipper in our bunch
told us that we had rounded the north
ern coast Of Iceland.
Finally, one day. lad yelled down
"Land!" and we all dove for the fid-
dley like wild men, and those who
could get near enough looked out, and
sure encIgh there was the coast of
Norway, very rugged and rocky and
covered with snow. We thought it
was all over then, and that we would
be landed at Bergen sure. Then there
was the usual running around and
yelling on deck, and we were not so
sure we would be landed, and very
suddenly 1t got colder than ever.
was In the fiddley, aching to get
out. and ready for anything that
might happen, when the door opened
suddenly and Badewitz grabbed me,
and asked me In English II 1 was
Quartermaster. ! said yes. and he
pulled me by the arm to a cabin. I
did not know what was going to hap
pen. but he took an oilskin from the
wall and told me, to put 1t on.
There were two sailors there also,
and they put life belts on. and then
was more puzzled than ever, and
scared. too. because thought maybe
they were going to throw me over
board. though what that had to do
with being q Quartermaster I could
not see.
But they drilled me up onto the
bridge and told me to take the wheel.

him In irons and took him to the chart
room.
The next day we were sitting In the
nddiey getting warm when the door
opened and there was Badewitz. He
yelled "Heraus" and began firing at
US with revolver, SO we beat 1t back
onto the coal. Pretty soon the door
opened again. But 1t was only a Ger
man sentry. He threw down q note,
1t was written In English and read.
Pick out eight men for cooks" So
we picked out eight men from the va
rious vessels and they went on deck
and rigged up a galley aft.
But we did not receive any knives.
forks, spoons or plates. The first
meal we got was nothing but macaro-
nj. piled up on pieces Of cardboard
boxes. Then we appointed four men
to serve the macaroni, and they got
four pieces Of wood, the cleanest we
could find. which was not very clean
at that, and they dug around In the
macaroni and divided 1t up and put
1t In our hands. We had TO eat II
after that from our grimy fingers.
Those who were helped first had to 90
rarthest back on the coal to eat It.
and those who were helped last got
= less, because the dividers got more
careful toward the end and gave
smaller portions.
But we did not get macaroni very
long. A cook from the Voltaire was
cleaning copper dixie that the mac
aroni had been cooked In, and he was
holding 1t over the side when the yes-
sci rolled heavily, and dropped the
dixie into the briny. A sentry who
saw him drop 1t forced him up to
Badewitz, who began mauling him be-
fore the sentry even had told his
story. After while Badewitz quit
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put note in the dixie before he
dropped 1T, 30 they beat him up again
ana put him In irons. After that they
sent the rest Of the cooks back, and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty Of canned goods and
meat aboard, but they would not give
us any.
Five of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad
every minute, and 1t was terrible
place; pitch dark, grimy. loose coal
underfoot, coal-dusty air to breathe,
body-flth everywhere. Some of the
crazy men howled like dogs. But we
were not as much afraid Of these as
we were of the others who kept still,
but slipped around in the dark with
Jumps Of coal in their hands. We
got so we would not go near each
other for fear we were running into a
crazy man. Those of us who were
sane collected as near the fiddley as
we could, and we would not let the
others get near us, but showed them
back or SHE'D Jumps of coal at them.
And every once in a while some one
OF us would begin to act queer. May.
be he would let out a howl suddenly
without any warning. Or he would
Just quit talking and begin to sneak
, around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We could DOT tell

New Years spree. Then we saw we
were In for 1t, and all hope gone, but
we were glad to be released from our
hole, because we had been prisoners
since December 10-three days on the
Moewe and eighteen on the Yarrow-
dale-and the coal was not any softer
than when we first sat on 1t.
80 we began singing. "Pack up your
troubles In your old kit bag and smile,
Doys' smile. WHAT'S the use Of worry
lngf It's never worth WHILE" and so
forth. They made us shut up, but not
before we asked ourselves If we were
downhearted, and everybody yelled
mol"
And that is how we gave our re-
CARDS to Swinemunde.

ships skipper aboard. 1t was the
French collier st. Theodore, hove to
on the starboard side with a prize
crew from the Moewe aboard and wig
wagging 70 the raider.
Then the Huns began shouting and
they rousted us below deck again. The
place where we had been was filled
with smoke. from what or why I do
not know. but 1t was almost impos-
sibie to breathe in 1t. When the
smoke cleared up a bit the Marathon
started again. for we were still In our
underwear only. One of the boys had
asked Fritz for clothing and Fritz said
the English had tough enough skins
and they did not need clothing. Then
he said: "Wait until you see what our
German winters are like"
The following morning the engines
began to tear away again and the
guns started firing. After a while the
nring stopped and the engines too, and

advanced from 40 cents to 90, coffee
from 20 cents to $3.50. Meat has adj

An argument with q neighbor caused
Samuel Evans. Of Clay county, In
diana, to join a pig club In order that
he might prove his point that q pig
could make an average daily gain Of
over n pound. He won his point with
a good margin, for his pig gained on an
average Of two pounds a day for a
period Of 90 days, and az a result Of
his experience Samuel has acquired
the necessary knowledge to enable him

that the Victory loan mission bond
movement started here will spread TO
the other "a districts OF the state and
add materially TO the success Of the

made reservations for the convention.
as well as a number OF visitors from

Memorial TOWer In
BeUedU Wood, Plan
To Honor Roosevelt


NEW YORK, April 1o.--The proJeoi
to erect as a monument TO the memory
Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt a watch
tower which shall rise high above Bel
leau wood, where the American marines
made their heroic fight, Ia attracting
popular favor, according to an an
announcement yesterday by the Roose-
Welt permanent memorial national com
mittee.
Samuel Parsons. a landscape archi-
teet, has suggested that this monument
should be ~ American In character as
the statue OF Liberty is French. Ac-
eordinEly he has designed a lofty tower
Of uncut stone, on the top Of which a
huge eagle spreads It's wings protect
lngly over a poilu. He wrote to the
committee;
THE suggestion for the Roosevelt
tower design was inspired by a photo
eraph l have on the wall OF my office
showing a great vertical section OF the
Palisades in lta loftiest region. The
idea OF my design. to describe 1t in
great blocks Of stone Weighing as much
az a ton each and not less than half
q ton, rugged, and hewn roughly with
the hammer only, at the same time pre-
serving as much Of the natural surface
The weather. worn surfaces would be
specially desirable. The druidloai sug-
gestion of natural forms Of rock Is to be
retained by leaving cement out Of the
ereyices and filling them with earth and
rock plants, sodiums, etc. Tho whole
archaic mass would be primitive and
suited TO q woodland tract full OF nat
ural charms.
Wines you'd be allowed to Greer
over It's surface, and all plants would
be kept alive by artificial watering
seeping down the surface Of the tower.
y Is proposed 70 make this tower
a rough hewn eagle 80 feet high, the
material TO be similar to that OF the
tower, showing outlines like those OF a
mountain crag with the seeming fea
lures OF an eagle,
THE eagle bends n protecting wing
over a French pollu and both eagerly
look toward Berlin,
THE entire design Is intended to be
American In the fullest sense OF the
term, original In design and massive
even gigantic In construction; a tower
that ought TO. stand as long as the old
druidical ,dolmeus stood, typifying the
relations of France and America IN tn,
sreat war for the freedom Of the TWEEN
tieth century,
Among those that have commende,
the PROJECT are Lieut., Col. John c
GreenwAy, one OF the Rough Rider
that followed Col, Roosevelt in Cuba
and Lawrence Abbott, The committe
will probably settle the matter at a.
early meeting,
