Stories, Grave and Gay, of What Hap- pened on Britain's Mighty Ships in Harbor and at Sea. The navy was flooded by initials during the war, and the mania• spread to the ships. There were P -boats and Q -ships. Submarines in the early days were called 1J -boats, but as our inventors progressed other letters of the alphabet came into use, and in the last few days one of the closely - guarded secrets of the trade, the K- boats, have bean publicly described... I happen to number among my per- sonal friends in the Service several young submarine •officers, andfrom them T have heard many good stories of the adventures of these large steam -driven, heavily -erred submer- sible cruisers, more remarkable ex- amples xamples of naval architecture than ever the much, -boomed Hun shipbuilders thought of. The K -boats are high -sea craft, and operated with the Grand Fleet, so their base, naturally, was Scapa Flow in the Orkneys. In the long evenings, particularly in the summer, there vas much opportunity for skylarking, The young bloods of the battleship ward- rooms invented a great sport. They formed "K -boat raiding parties," In the falling dusk tiler crept up in a dinghy to the anchored submarine, where everybody was probably peace- fully below, with hatches open. The raiders stormed down the canning - tower and the available hatches, and proceeded to play "rough house" with, their unwilling hosts. The K -boat men held a council of war. The thing was getting beyond a joke. They arranged a game of their own which they 'called "raiding sta- tlons." Nov for the sequel. A Bath For the "Big Noise." On the first evening after they had rehearsed their parts the look -out on the conning tower reported a rowing- boat owingboat approaching. It was quite early in the evening, but apparently the raiders meant to make a night of it, So the crews of the K -boats, went to their stations. All hatches were closed. They waited. The senior of- ficer of the flotilla Beard someone scramble from the rowing -boat on to the iron plates of the submarine's deck. He gave the order "Dive!" Down went the submariuo about `six feet, stopped there a minute or two, and came up. The hatches were open- ed, pened, and the delighted K -boat men tumbled up, roaring with laughter as they fished their ducked visitors out of "the ditch." And then they discovered that it was a four -stripe captain, a very senior and important officer, whohad come to pay them an official visit. More grim was the adventure of an- other nother of the tribe which also tried a stunt that was not provided for in the Regulations. The skipper. while on patrol in a certain area, intercepted a signal that an enemy submarine was operating not far away, but in waters that were outside the K -boat's beat. The chance -was too good to be missed, and the captain pushed off in the direction of the enemy, only to be mistaken by our surface craft for the enemy when he got there, He promptly dived to avoid the gun- fire that concentrated on him, and found himself in a worse plight still, for our surface ships put down a heavy barrage of depth -charges, the under- water bombs that carried 500 pounds of explosive, and were destructive if they exploded 75 feet away from the target. Taking Notes About Death. Fortunately for the K -boat, the skipper had followed a zigzag course as he dived, and the depth -charges ex- ploded some distance away. • Our sur- face craft, however, stack to their prey. As the depth -charges seemed to produce no result, they put down sweeps, long hawsers that trailed along the bed of the ocean until, they caught, the obstruction being the sub- marine., And they found him. Then, .down the sweep they let small charges slide, but, by the mercy of Providence, they all went off some time before they actually reached the hull of the. K -boat. It- was an. awful position for -the friendly crew of the submarine; but the captain, with extraordinary pre- sence of mind, made a careful log of all the effects of the explosions in or- der that the experience might be of use to our anti-submarine experts if ever he cane out of the adventure alive. He. did. The pursuers exhausted their stock of charges. and by skilful navigation the K -boat was at last dis- entangled front,. the 'sweeps, but she had to snake her way home by guess work, for every ons of the delicate in- struments on board had been shat- tered to fragments by the force of the ,explosions. Imprisoned 67 Hours. 4tnoth.er grim story is that of K 13, the submarine that sank in the Firth of Clyde while , on her trials with a large eon1pienlel t of civilian experts an board, as well as her regular crew. One' of the ventilating cowls failed to close before she dived, with the result that the engine -room was flooded, and all the peoele there were drowned. Those in the forward part of the itight bull.rhead, in the centre of 'the ship, held, and only a tlaln trickle of water came through, whieh was kept under by an electric pump. It was after K 13 had been .down twenty-four hours that Commander Goodhart made his :attempt to escape, in order -to i guide reservers to the spot, and was killed. Fifty-seven hours from the time of the accident, the first of the survivors crawled out through a hole in the bows, which had been hoisted upabove the surface by the salvage men. A diver ilas established comznunica.- tion with the interior previously by unscrewing a shall brass cap in the outer hull, and passing a flexible pipe i inside, and down that pipe soup and 3 chocolate were passed to the impris- oned. men. Then they were asked if there was anything else they wanted The Need of the Moment. "Well, you might send down a pack of Cards," was the unexpected reply A story in lighter vein concerns a young lieutenant who had done many monthsin faboats, which are dr"' en by internal combustion engines, and not by steam. He was appointed to a • K -boat. He joined her, and spent the first twenty-four hours getting to know his way about the navigation of the ship, and had little time to devote to the rest of her topography. The next day was a `";,tend off." Most of the crew went ashore, and the skipper took the opportunity of landing for a round of golf, leaving the newcomer in command. At about 2,80 a boat carne alongside, with an engineering expert from the A.d. miralty, who happened to be visiting the Grand Fleet, and thought it a good chance to look over a K -boat. The young lieutenant did the honors quite effectively as far as his own department was concerned, and then the visitor said: "And what about your boilei" room?" The officer had no idea where the boiler -room was, but he paused for only a second before replying, "Well, sir, you see, the boiler -room is so confidential that I couldn't take you in' there unless you have a special permit from the First -Lord."

CURBING GERMAN MILITARISM France Determined Enemy Shall Have No Chance to Drill Alen. The decision of the Council of Ten to Ihnit the German army to approx- imately 100,000 men probably sounds the death knell of German turnve- reins and, schuetzenfests, says a Paris despatch. The French are in- sisting that for a term of years, at least until Germany is admitted to the League of Nations, her military establishment must be subject to the closest inspection by allied officer to make sure obedience to the Peace Conference decree, not only tin letter, but in spirit. French experts in German af- fairs, seconded by much British opin- ion, insist that not only must the German army be watched, but that all associations of German men for semi -military and athletic pur- poses shall be forbidden, particular- ly rifle clubs. ,Such organizations readily could be employed as a means of covertly establishing miitarism and as a means of instilling a spirit of revenge in German youth, which spirit well be heightened by the terms of the treaty when they are announc- ed. - Already , some alarming signs are seen, as, coincident with the decision of the allies to ldmit the size of the German army and the announcement of the Assembly at Weimar that the new military force would be negli- gible, conies the news from highly authenticated ,sources that new "ath- letic clubs are springing up all Germany." For instance, the Koen- igsberger 'Gymnastic Society has started recruiting a volunteer corps "to protect the fatherland against Polish impudence." This has the old- time Teutonic ring. Scheidemann ;has bought training grounds in many parts of Berlin for various "athletic" clubs, and another suspicious fact is that discharged: German aviatorsehre organizing "avi- ation sport clubs." , There is a notab- ly large orae at Tilsitt, where young men `are bum taught to fly. It is siignificant that along with flying in- structions they are introduced tot the mysteries of handling airplane ilea- chine guns and in dropping bombs. The French are insistently asking why these practices should have any part in the program of a "sport" club. Phe •Freneh do not propose to be caught napping again. They intend to insist that the German fangs be drawn once and for all. li nard's Lia$s?aeiat dkrltlt esr Nenrwlari'A" clarion Bridge, C.B., May 00, '02.

Milli FERGUSON, Clemenceau's Ancestors, A writer remarks that heredity' must have played a part in building up the marvellous constitution which leads M. Clemenceau to be described as the "greatest young man in France," For the past 300 years and mare every one of his direct ances- tors in the male line has belonged to the medical profession, and so pre- sumably learned to look after his own health as well as that of other people. This unique record of continuity was brol-n for the first time when the French Premier's only son, M. Michel Clenicneeau, elected to become an en- gineer rather than study medicine. The Premier's father, who died only 12 years ago, and continued to practice long after his SOth year, made his famous son conform to the family tra- dition. MONEY ORDERS.

There are, or were before the war, nearly 1,000 great country estates scattered over Great Britain, many of which have now been closed be- cause of the huge taxation. Of these sixty may be classed as private pal- aces, for each required 'a staff of from 200 to 600 servants and atten- dants. Outside of the household ser- vants there were many men employ- ed as caretakers for the grounds, gardens, park coverts, outbuildings and stables. 3k3nard'si-Sdflxgent fet-SaIe everywhere.
