Capt. A. n. F. Young. who is one OF
the best-known shipping officials OF
the British board of trade, has RECEIPT
IL caused considerable discussion In
this country by his remarks on the
subject of ship designs and his asser-
ton that the straight stem, which Is
found In the most modern cargo yes

loss OF life at sea than submarines
According to Captain Young. the
origin of this stem was the desire to
reduce the cost OF construction and
he asserts that so long as the type OF
stem was retained the serious effects
of collision at sea would continue to
be great. He adds that If an act were
passed abolishing the straight stem
and making 1t compulsory that the
stem should recede to an angle of. say

For instance one Of the Canadian

He went to bomb a German ambush

a region infested with Wild animals
and was rescued by natives. He had
covered about a mile when he was con-
tronted by an ugly black animal with
vicious tusks. II was dusk and he
climbed a tree to pass the night.
II opened my eyes," he writes, "and
saw something like two green cleo
trio bulbs about 30 feet from my tree.
They moved In a circle, and for As
minutes my eyes never left them.

After this the lieutenant started his
big trek, narrowly escaping crocodiles.
and swimming seven or eight rivers.
His only means Of defense was his
