It stops there and rots the cloth and rusts the metal. The wires securing the ribs soon rust or break, but if placed the other way to water runs off the um- brella and it soon dries

British Submarine Crew
Divides $l50,000 Award

London-The British Privy Coun-
Gil has awarded the greatest naval
prize of the war to the crew of the
British submarine Ella by giving
them s150G00. The Ella four years
ago sank the Turkish transport Guj
Djemel in the Sea of Marmora with
5000 Turkish troops and a crew Of 20.
The S150.0O0 goes exclusively to
the twenty members of the British
crew. averaging $500 per man;
but it is divided in proportion to
rank. so Commander Boyle gets the
largest share.
The prize courts ruled that the
Turk was not an armed ship with
in the meaning of the prize laws. in
which case the allowance would be
far smaller and would go into a
general fund. The Privy Council.
however, has overruled those deci-
sions. making the twenty British
sailors comparatively wealthy men.
