They Were So Dumb That
Policemen Grabbed Them

WILKES-BARRE, PA.-Two pa
trolmen crept ON hands and knees
to a warehouse in an attempt to sur
prise pair of boys ransacking the
place. One kicked in the door and
shouted: You're under arrest!"
The boys kept right on working.
Themselves stunned, the cops re-
covered and grabbed the pair. One
twisted free and wrote on a pad:
Whats up?" s~ -.
You're under arrest" the law re-
peated-in writing. 1t took a SER

Many Ships Sail
W, ithout Convoy
Newspaper Man Tells of
Three Trips in Vessels
Unescorted.

LONDON.-Although London and
Washington report losses to con-
voys, they do not give many details
about the cargoes of men and ma
terial which arrive in safety. despite
Axis submarines and war planes.
This is particularly true regarding
the ships which make safe voyages
alone. Martin Moore of the Daily
Telegraph of London, who has made
three unprotected voyages. writes
about them to his paper from Co.
lombo, the principal seaport in Cey-
lon-clearing house for war supplies
to India-as follows:
] am not going to tell stories of
being torpedoed or dive-bombed or
mined or fired on by enemy raiders.
I cannot tell these stories because
no such experiences have happened
to me in all the 1900 miles 1 have
travelled. Nor can I describe how
naval escorts saved us from these
dangers, because / have never
sailed in convoy.
This is a story of the ships that
get through alone. There are many
hundreds of them on the seas to-
day, carrying Allied aircraft and
tanks and guns and munitions to
the theaters of war. If every cargo
waited for a. convoy these supplies
would be seriously delayed.
Precautions Taken. III
There is nothing spectacular in
their lonely voyages. The naval
authorities who plot their courses,
and within a narrow margin the
naval command knows every day
the whereabouts of every merchant
ship voyaging in its area.
The most careful precautions are
taken to ensure that nobody knows
when she is sailing. where to, by
what route and with what cargo.
For weeks after I had booked my
passage from the United States to
Australia received no hint when
the ship would sail or from where.
Only day beforehand did I learn
the date of departure, and that
information had to be given me oral
ly, not in writing or on the tele-
phone.
Two of the cargo vessels in which
! Travelled carried passengers. Yet
particulars of the route we were fol-
lowing were kept from us as secretly
as if we were all enemy agents.
These unescorted vessels are an
immensely important factor in the
building up of Allied striking power.
One ship in which / travelled carried
about three-quarters of a million
pounds worth of war material
bombers, fighters, tanks, explosives.
Yet she was only a medium-sized
freighter and only one among many
making this particular crossing.
Only One Alsrm.
She was loaded as surely no vessel
has ever been loaded in the history
of sea transport Not only were her
holds full, but from stem to stern
her decks were piled high with
this cargo Of war. There was bare
ly room for the crew to Chamber
past the planes. the tanks and the
crates.
Throughout the voyage of nearly
three weeks we had only one alarm.
A faint plume of smoke was sighted
on the starboard bow at dawn. This
might have been the smoke of .
friendly vessel, but we took no risks.
Our ship swung hard to port, he
crew were piped to action stations,
passengers were mustered at life
boat stations. rs
For more than an hour we stood
on deck, wearing life-jackets. But
if the other vessel was raider we
gave her the slip.

Alaskans not forced to go south for business or other important reasons are advised by James c. Cooper, of the Cooper Accounting Firm of Juneau, to remain at home. Conditions are hectic in Seattle with about 100000 increase in pop uation in the ast two years and it takes forever to get any business taken care of, he said.
 Anyone who is required to make a trip south should be sure to make reservations for accomoda- tions ahead of time as hotels and apartment houses are crowded be- yond belief with many people sitting up at night in chairs in hotel lob bies. MT Cooper said.
