BOONTON, N. j., Dec. 21.-Charles

Civil War, considers himself lucky to-
day in the reception of valor cita-
ton made to him in 1892. The medal
was granted for conspicuous valor

litical inquiries, as some of the over
worked clerks in the department had

SUNKEN CRAFT
Junk" Victim Had
Said of Sub

PROVINCETOWN, Mass, Dec. 81,
The sunken submarine S-4 with its
cargo of dead and dying has been
lost to the rescue ships!
This official announcement was
made this afternoon by Lieut.. Com
mander Ellsberg who revealed that
divers who descended in the Gained
sea this afternoon were unable to
find any trace of the ship.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Dec. 81. --
"After they lose a couple Of boats
they might fix them up"
Donald Georing, cleo trician on the
S-4, unknowingly forecast his own
fate, it appeared today, in this SEN
tence of his last letter 70 his father,
William Georing, CT Bridgeport, which
the latter made public today.
His letter also gave an insight into
the hardships suffered by submarine
crews. He spoke of the cold and said
men were unable to work if they wore
enough clothes to keep warm.
Ballad on Dangers.
Walter Bishop, radio man on the
S-4, it became known here today, has
recently written a long ballad, show
ing the dangers of life on the "pig
boats" as the subs of this type are
called. Some of his stanzas follow,
with special allusion to the small
bonus, extra pay, given for this work:
IN the cankerous mind of the devil
There festered a fiendish scheme;
He called his cohorts around him
And designed the submarine.
Most of us in the battery room
Are close to a lurking death;
With the storage cells giving off gas
That smothers our every breath.
"The torpedo room is a deadly spot,
But we have small choice, you
know;
So some sleep there, next the ever
head,
With tons of INT below.
ayes, daily we make a risky dive,
While Uncle Sam, with his brim-
ming cup,
Bets us a dollar, while we're alive,
A dollar to nothing we don't come
up"
Admiral w. H Wiley, commander
in chief of the L. S. navy is already
assembling a corps of experts to de-
wise arguments, in defense of the
navy's policy on submarines, which
will certainly meet severe criticism
during the next three weeks.
No Longer Grapples.
Submarines used to be fitted with
grapples with which to be raised when
sunk in shallow water. Those are nc
longer put on them. Ships Of the Sd
class carry no outside vents through
which oxygen can be pumped from
rescue ships. They have no l.nger
the collapsible floats which were on
earlier types, because these, in the
opinion of .non-seagoing experts If
the navy department, serve only fol
the safety Of the men, and are 1.se-
less in war. The idea of serdirg out

POLICE FORCE
MAKES RECORD
IN RECOVERIES

The police department of the city
of Douglas recovered $9,84O worth
of stolen property during the fiscal
year which ended May 81, according
to reports of Chief Percy Bowden
to Mayor A. E. Hinton and city
councilmen.
During the year 964 arrests were
made and 5,465 meals served, the

excellent record, taking into con-
sideration the fact that only nine
men are employed on the local force.
During the month of May 55 ar
rests were made and 223 meals served.
Stolen property to $1,575 was re-
covered.
The city benefited $41O in May
from fines levied in police court by
Judge w. G.. Jack.
