as our men somewhat cheerfully called
them. The ten mine-layers partici-
pated in each excursion" all ten to-
gether laying about 5.400 mines at
every trip. Each trip to the field of
faction was practically a duplicate of
the others; a description of one will,
therefore, serve for all. After days,
and sometimes after weeks of prep
aration the squadron, usually on a
dark and misty night, showing no
lights or SIGNALS, would weigh anchor,
tslip by the rocky palisades of Moray
Firth, and stealthily creep out to sea.
AS the ships passed through the nets
and other Instructions and reached
open waters, the speed increased, the
gunners took their stations at their
batteries, and suddenly from dark
horizon came a group of low, rapidly
moving vessels; these were the British
destroyers from the Grand Fleet, which
had been sent to escort the expedition
and protect it from submarines. The
absolute silence of the whole proceed
ing was impressive; not one of the
destroyers showed a signal or light;
not one of the minelayers gave the
slightest sign of recognition; all these
details had been arranged in advance,

that, one night in May, 1915 the
whole squadron of the ships weighed
anchor and started for their destina-

had selected as bases the ports of Int
yerness and Invergordon, on Moray

reasonably near the water in which
the mines were to be laid. From

boys of Inverness and Invergordon
We're soon playing the game with as
much enthusiasm and cleverness as
our own youngsters at home. In gem
eral, the behavior of our men was
excellent and made the most favor
able impression.
These two mine assembly bases at
Inverness and Invergordon will ever
remain a monumental tribute to the
loyal and energetic devotion to duty
of Captain Grin G.. Murfin, U. S.
Navy, who designed, and built them,
originally the bases were intended to
handle 1900 mines. but in reality
Captain Murfin successfully handled
as many as 10000 at one time. It was
here also that each secret firing de-
vice was assembled and installed, very
largely by reserve personnel. AS many
as $4,000 mines were assembled in
one day. which speaks very eloquently
for the foresightedness with which
Captain Murfin planned his bases.
The Serious Work.
But, of course, baseball and dane
ing were not the serious business in
hand; these Americans had come this
long distance to do their part in lay
ing the mighty barrage which was to
add one more serious obstacle to the
illegal German submarine campaign.
Though the operation was a joint one
of the American and British navies.
our part was much the larger. The
proposal was to construct this explo-
sive impeachment from the Orkney
Islands to the coast of Norway in the
vicinity of Udsire Light, a distance of
about 230 nautical miles. OF this great
area about $50 miles, extending from
the Orkneys to 3 degrees east longti-
tude, was the American field, and the
eastern section, which extended fifty
nautical miles to Norway. was taken
over by the British. Since an opera

expenses of improving the social con-
dltion of her population over a period
of 21-4 centuries preceding the world
war.
The sum of f11,26s million (roughly
90 billion dollars) represents the Brit
ism governments expense from March
81, 1914 to March 81, 1920. In the
previous Ia centuries the total out
lay by the government was f10,944 mil
lion.
The British people have already paid
in various forms of taxation and war
contributions 36 per cent-about 20
billion dollars-of their tremendous war
period expense. In other words, they
have paid in six years time on be-
half of their government more than
one third as much as they had been

with interest charge for national debt
10 times greater than the national
debt charge before the war, and also
with very heavy peace time budget
for running the government, Britain
paid outright about so per cent of her

These are some OF the more strik-
ing facts of recent English public fl
nance.
With reference to the past the study
discloses that England has been good
pay" in the matter of her debts. Since
the revolution of 1858 she has scrupu-
ously kept her engagements with her
creditors. The records show that she
has done so in times of greatest
stress.
Her burdens today, while heavy, are.
according to the study, not much
greater in proportion to national
wealth and income than those which
she has borne at times in the past.

financing. the Bankers Trust Com
pany reaches this conclusion:
War creates the great bulk of tax
alton. Outside of the cost of wars,
the maintenance of the military es-
tablished in times Of peace and the
public debt burden, other expenses are
relatively small. If a way could be
discovered to end wars and to pay off
the debt the people of Great Britain
thereafter need scarcely feel the bur-
den of taxation for other purposes, that
is, unless enlarged plans were under
taken for social betterment."

! ing them to the assembling plant at
Norfolk, Virginia; then another small
army of workmen at this point mixing
their pasty explosives, heating it to
a boiling point and pouring the con.
coction into the spherical steel cases;
then other groups of men moving the
partially prepared mines to the docks
and loading them on the cargo ships;
then these ships quietly putting to
sea. and, after voyage of ten days
or two weeks, as quietly slipping into
the Scottish town of Fort William and
Kyle; then trains of freight cars and
canal boats taking the cargo across
Scotland to Inverness and Invergor-
don, where the mines were completed
and placed in the immense storehouses
at the bases and loaded on the mine
layers as the necessity arose. Thus,
when the whole Organization was once
established on a working basis, we had
uninterrupted communications and a
continuous flow of mines from the
American factories to the stormy
waters of the North Sea.
Famous Towns.

, plete precision. The swiShing of the
water on the sides and the slow churn-
ing of the propellers were the only
sounds that could possibly betray the
ships to their hidden enemies. After
the ships had steamed a few more
miles, the dawn began to break; and
now still more inspiring sight met
our men. A squadron of battleships
with scout cruisers and destroyers,
suddenly appeared over the horizon.
This glorious armada likewise swept
on, apparently paying not the slight
est attention to our ships. They
steamed steadily southwark, and in an
hour or so had entirely disappeared.
The observer would hardly have
guessed that this squadron from Adj
miral Beatty's fleet at Scapa Flow had
ANYTHING to do with the American and
British mine-layers. Its business, how
ever was to establish a wall of steel
and shotted guns between these forces
and the German battle fleet at Kiel.
At one time it was believed that the
mine forces on the northern barrage
would prove a tempting bait to the
German dreadnaughts; and that,
indeed it might induce the Germans
to risk a second general engagement
on the high seas. At any rate fleet
of converted excursion steamers, lay
ing mines in the North Sea, could
hardly be left exposed to the attacks
of German raiders; our men had the
satisfaction of knowing that while en-
gagged in their engrossing if unenvia-

American battleships-for Admiral
Rodman's forces took its regular turn

surface vessels which attempted to
interfere with the operation.
