'SIr'•NDING A GERMAN PIRATE
DOWN To »AVP ,ZONES
Extraordinary Duel Between a, Brit
isle and a German Cruiser Known
as the Battle of the Haystacks.
Of all the naval engagements that
occurred de ring the war none perhaps
was stranger than the fight between
the British ship Carmania aid ttat,% Orman -ship Gap Trafalgar. Bo
were At'wantie liners of the floatin
palace type •eonver.�ted into auxiliar
cruisers; they met by •chance whe
no other ships were nearby and en
' gaged in an extraordinary duel, whic
been called the Battle of the Hay
stacks. Never have two Ship's wit
such towering upper works stood o
and tried to batter each other to
pieces with gunfire.
The -first news we had of the en-
gagement, says the captain of th
,British cruiser 'Cornwall, was 'aa. wire
less that Capt. G----, sent out sayin
that he had :sunk the Cap T'rafalgar
but that as his bridge was burned, hi
steering gear shot away and all hi
navigating instruments destroyed, h
would bo glad to have some one corn
and tell him where he was and lea
tin to a spla:ce where he could, so t
speak, 'lie down •and lick his wound
-for a while. It took a jelly bit o
searching to find a ship that couldn't
tea any more about itself than that,
but we finally sighted her ragged sil-
houette and led her to •such a haven
as our rendezvous afforded,
Poor.,•Q— had lost a good <leal
more than his steering gear, for the
fire that dyad- consumed his 'bridge had
also gutted his cabin and reduced
everything in it to cinders except an
old Norfoil, jacket. As G— was of
about 'three times the girth of any
other British officer in those waters
at the time, the wardrobe we tried to
get together for him was a grotesque
combination. He cut a weird figure
on the battered old Germania, but
there wasp �t one of us who wouldn't
changed places with him --Nor-•

MARSHAL FOCH
-. HIMSELF
"THE PRINCIPLES OF WA•W 73 '
THE ALLI ,la CHIEF
Some Extracts From the Most
Remarkable Beck On Tactics the
War Has Produced
Aftor the Franco-German War,
young :Frenchmen named I''oeFoalsre-
turned to a university in a district
e occupied by German troops, to re-
htne his interrupted studies. Had
g the Gerinan troops foreseen that the
y knowledge which the young student
nwas acquiring would, forty -,:even
_ years later, disembowel the Gerinan
ch Empire, it is possible that a stray
bullet might have ended Foch's ca-
h reer.
"The Principles of War" is, in effect,
the story of the German defeat, for in
it Marshal Foch explains the philo-
sophies and strategies • which have
e guided him during the great test.
- He lays down a thousand and one mili-
g tary laws, but behind all is an eas-
e, ticity which perhaps is the real root
s of his genius. It is said of cricket
s that nothing is as certain as- its un -
e certainty. So, of war, Foch writes:
e "There is nothing absolute in war.
d The best plan will go wrong, and the
o most complete organization will break
s down if it is not, applied by a man with
f skill and determination to take advan-
tage of the changes and chances of
the moment.
"The unknown is the governing con-
dition of war. The best commanded
armies have marched, have manoeu-
vred, amidst the unkown. It was un-
avoidable. They have, however, got
the better of that dangerous situa-
tion; they have come out of it vic-
toriously, by resorting to security,
Which enabled them to live, without
suffering damage, in an atmosphere
full of dangers."
The Outstretched Arm
What is the security of which he
speaks? How, as he himself frames
the question, can we master that un-
avoidable unknown? How shall we
contrive to see through the thick
fog which always surrounds the situ-
ations and actions of the enemy? The
answer is by utilising:, the advance
guard—which, in human forms,• fin
plies the "blokes" who sacrifice their' e '
A Fight to a Finish.
Both ships, according to G --'s
account, began firing as soon as they
came in range. In the midst of the
fight a German shell struck the cap-
tain's cabin and started the fire that
spread to the bridge, destroying the
navigating instruments and ultimate-
ly made it impossible for the com-
mander to remain there. To reduce-
the
educethe tremendous draft that was farm -
'lag the flames, Ga -----headed the Oar -
mania "down the wind." Nothing else
would have .saved her. Except for
one thing, drat- would have enabled
the now thoroughly worsted (al-
though G— ddn't know it) Cap
Trafalgar to withdraw from the ac-
tion. The German ship herself was
on fire and had to take the same
course willy-nilly. From that moment
the battle was as irretrievably joined
as one of those old Spanish knife
duels in which the opponents were
locked together in a room to fight to
a finish,
After being driven from the bridge,
the British captain, one of the big-
gest men in the navy, and not very
"shifty" on his feet, had to keep the
ship going by running here, there and
everywhere. With the battle going
on all the time, he had his men rig'
up a jury steering gear, and then, as
he ne longer had any pipe communi-
cation with the engine room, he had
to dash back and forth between two
or three commanding positions.
"If I wanted- to open the range a
bit," he said, "I had to nip for'ard•,
wait till there was an interval in both
gunfire and shell -burst, and yell down
a. hatchway to the engine room to
"Slow port!" Or if I suddenly found
it imperative to open the distance, I
had to make the same journey and
pass word down to 'Stop starboard!'
I was racking my brain for some plan
of action to follow when our failing
sup.t"''rof shells became exhausted;
sudyg the Cap Trafalgar began to
heel sharply and started to sink. It
was our second or third salvo, which
lead holed her badly at the water line,
tthat did the business."
Down in the surgical room the sur -
aeon had just finished amputating and
Illandaging a gunner'swhen
, hand
someone shouted tanto the door of the
dressing.station thaa the German ship
was going down. The wounded sailor
eowded to port just in time to see
one of the last salvors from the Ger-
mania go• erashing into the side of the
heeling enemy. "Huropr, boys!" he
srhouted. "If I 'ad as many lands as
tan oktypuss, I'd la' giv'n 'am all fer
the joy of putth3' I1&nt blinicin' pyrit

'British troops taking bank the civil population to their original homeE,

nd
often their
lives in order that they may hear,
see, feel, or smell something which
will convey what the enemy is up to.
"When one moves at night," says
Foch, "without light, in one's own
house, what does one do? Does one
not (though it is a ground one knows
well) extend one's arm in front of
one so as to avoid knocking one's head
against the wall? The extended arm
is nothing but an advance guard.
"The arm keeps its suppleness when
it advances, and only stiffens more
or less when it meets an obstacle, in
order to perform its duty withoat
risk, to open a door, etc. Iii the same
way, the advance guard can advance
and go into action without risking de-
struction, provided it uses the sup-
pleness and strength, maoeuvring
power, resisting power."
Marshal Foch does not, of course,
suggest that knowledge of a danger
necessitates running straight into it.
Among the considerations which must
be weighed—sometimes with lightning .
rapidity—is one's capacity at the tirne
the danger is sensed. This applies
equally to small and large manoeu-
vres. To know one's capacity exactly
requires very considerabe skill, as the
following illustration shows:

The River Scheldt and broken bridge at Tournaai,
well cared for, represents, after a few
days' campaigning, 2,800 rifles; Iess
well managed, it' will no longer in-
lude more than.2,000. The variations
in the moral are at least as ample.
How, then, compare two regiments-
! with each other? s Under the same
name they represent two utterly dif-
ferent quantities; illness, hardships,
bivouacking at night, re -act on the
1 troops in difrerennt ways. Certain
I troops, after such an ordeal, are soon
only a force in name. They are noth-
ing but columns of hungry, exhausted
sick men. Or you may have a division
ati11 called. `a difiision,'. (though it
shall have lost part of its batteries,
etc."
By exhorting, nevertheless, the
"hungry, exhausted men" may re-
gain their full fighting zest, and in
this connection ire quotes an inspir-
ing exhortation of Bonaparte to the
Army of Italy when passing the Alps:
"`Soldiers, you are naked, ill -fed.
The Government owe you much; they
can give you nothing. Your patience,
the courage you show amid these
crags, are admirable; but they secure
no glory for you, no splendour shines
on you. I will lead you into the most
fertile plains of the world. Rich
provinces, great towns will ase in your
power. You will find there honor,
glory, and wealth. Soldiers of the
Army of Italy, can you now lack
courage or steadfastness?'
"He knew well the French weakness
—lack of steadfastness. And then,.
from the summits of the Alps to the
Apennines, comes one answer, shouted
by the depleted battalions of our
hungry soldiers: `Forward!' The new
war is launched. Henceforth it will
be waged with the soldier's heart."
The wisdom of Napoleon is fre-
quently quoted" throughout Marshal
Foch's book, although the modern
genius generally seems too add some
illuminating thought to the ideas of
the genius of a century ago. Von
Moltke and Clausewitz have also been
closely studied. It is by pouring over
every important military axiom, ac-
cepting some, improving some, re-
jecting others, and himself adding to
the list, that Marshal Foch has built
up the military code to which he
owes bis extraordinary success. He
has not committed the cardinal sin,
born of intolerance, of despising his
ancestors or belittling his foes. To
do such things is to make an impene-
trable barrier between oneself and
true greatness.
-Foch on Discipline,
Oii the subject of discipline he has
se particularly interesting passage,
showing that discipline is of the
blind, unimaginative quality which
some people imagine:
"To be disciplined does not mean
that one does not commit any breach
of discipline; that One does not cern.
mit some disorderly action. Such a
definition works for the rank and idle,
but not at all for a commander, placed
in any degree of the military hier-
ii ° least of all therefore
arc y ,fox those
who (trod themselves hi the highest
places.
"To be disciplined does not utean,
either, that one only carries out an
order received to such a point as ap-
pears to •be convenient, fair, rational,.
or possible. It means that one frank-
ly adapts the thoughts and views of
the superior in command, and that
one rises all humanly practicable
means' in order to give him satisfac-
tion."
There may be some who will ques-
tion his view that the whole respon-
sibilty of winning or losing a war
rests on the shoulders of the comman-
ders.
"Great results in war," he says,
"are due to the commander. History
is therefore right in making generals
responsible for victories, in which case
they are glorified, and for defeats, in
which case they are disgraced. With-
out a commander, in battle, no victory
is possible. The will to conquer,
such is victory's first condition, and
therefore every soldier's first duty,
but it also amounts to a supreme re-
solve which the commander must, if
need be, impart to the soldier's soul.
A battle won is a battle in which one
will not confess oneself beaten."
In that last remark Foch truly re-
veals himself.

Says Corns Lift Out

eaes
Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply directly upon the corn a few
drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati
authority.
It is claimed that at small cost one
canget a quarter of an ounce of free -
zone at any drug store, which is suffi-
cient to rid one's feet of every corn
or callus without pain or soreness or
the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and while sticky, dries the moment it
Is applied and does not inflame or even
irritate the surrounding tissue.

many women here, for it is said that
the present high -heel footwear is put-,

"Yes, they're all prize fowl," was
the lady's reply.
"Oh, really; do they lay every day ?"
"Oh, they could, of course," said the
purse -proud lady, "but for'people in
our position it Is not necessary for
them to do it."

PRISONERS BURIED ALIVE.
Fiendish Cruelty of Germans Is Des-
cribed by Returned Canadian.
One of the interesting passengers by
the Princess Juliana, who arrived at
Ottawa recently, was Sergt. F.'Web-
ster of Ottawa, who enlisted in the
first few days of the war, and -went to
France with the 2nd Battalion. He
was gassed and taken prisoner at the
second battle of Ypres, and interned
M Giessen Camp. Of this camp it Is
said that it was one of the worst in
Germany, and the hardest to get out
of. There were eight barbed wire
electrified entanglements around it,
and the only chance of escape was to
burrow rabbit -fashion under the wires.
"But on more than one occasion some
poor chap busy burrowing was dis-
covered by the guards, and invariably
the opening was closed and sealed; he
was buried alive and left to die."
Sergt. Webster says: "1 have seen
one Englishman knocked down by five
Germans, and his face smashed in by
five rifle -butts crashing upon it almost
at one time,."
The second time Sergt. Webster at-
tempted to escape he managed.to get
about 160 kilometres toward the
Dutch frontier, when he was taken
prisoner by a game -keeper. When
taken into the nearest village, and it
become known that an "Englander"
was in their power, the Hunnish vil-
lagers shamefully ill-used him.

"My wife is just as handsome a

is clipper built, and with a figure-
head not oaten seen on small craft.
Her length of keel Is five feet eight
inches, ad displaces twenty-seven feet
of cubic air, of light draw ht, which
adds to her speed in the ballroom, full
in the waist, spars trim.
"At the time we were spliced she
was newly rigged fore and aft
with standing riggings of lace and
flowers; mainsail part silk, with fore -
staysail of Valenciennes. Her frame
was of the best steel covered with
silk, with whalebone stanchions.
"This rigging is intended for fair
weather cruising. She has also a set
of storm sails for rough weather,
and is trigging out a small set of can-
vas for light squalls, which are liable
to occur in this latitude sooner or la-
ter.
"I am told in running down the
street before the wind she answers
the helm beautifully, and can turn
round in her length if a handsomer
craft passes her."
