understood that it is usual to keen

done ?-R. D.
Answer-At the end of each rubber

Twelve men were assigned to the

This solves the question of the dis
position Of all but one of the ships.
At present there are but three
poor excuses for fast cruisers in our
navy. True, there are ten further
ships under construction, but even
with these vessels the United States
Navy will be lacking in scout cruis-
ers. Considering the fact that both
France and Italy have received Ger
man fast cruisers to be Incorporated
into their respective fleets, and con-
sidering the great need of such yes

The Washing of Wesley

but only an exacting sense of duty
animated the cleansing Of these.
To wash John Wesley was of the
nature of a religious rite, and when
any Of the old mans granddaughters
came from the city to pay him q
visit they were set to dust, under the
vlgilant eye and the somewhat acid
ulated tongue Of their aunt, every
stave, every turning, every nook and
Granny in the high backed rush-bot-
toned chairs, or every crevicc in the
great inlaid chest Of drawers which
reflected back their image in it's pol
lshed surface and around which
hung sweet odor Of lavender. But
should they dare to touch John Wes-
ley, then the foodgates of wrath
were opened.
Had they no more sense? Sup
posing it broke. What would their
father think of them, then? They
might cry. Crying would do no good"
"What would their grandfather
think OF them?"
That was the final straw. At that
the full enormity of their offense was
borne in upon them, and they felt,
indeed, as their grandfather in his
most austere moments had impressed
upon them, that they were not 'kings
and priests unto God but sinners

The Frankfurt was one of the few
German ships able to put to sea after

annoyance was heightened by a lively
feeling of jealousy. Suddenly he
had an idea-an idea which should
have come to him long before. 1t
awakened in him an irresistible de-
sire-an intense curiosity.
He quickly made his plans, and
that very afternoon he started to put
them into execution. For week he
had no success at all. Finally, with
the aid Of some old friends en-
ployed in the Department Of Public
instruction, he obtained promising
clew. An institution to which he was
referred sent him to an obscure
school in the Latin Quarter. He lost
the trail, found it again at an en-
ployment agency, and wound up at
last at an old bookshop on the quays

cheap translations of foreign novels.

suddenly there was terrific explo-

ed entirely out of the water. Water
poured into the bulkheads, but,
though badly strained, they held.
The ship was in sinking condition.
Several destroyers rushed to her
aid and light cruiser stood by to
lend all possible assistance. Wire

Cuxhaven and Wilhelmshaven, and
soon tugs, various salvage vessels

was repaired, and soon she resumed
her place in the depleted German
fleet.
Contrary to the popular belief,
this vessel was not one of those

after the Germans had broken their

The S-132 is the next destroyer in
