First in the category: conies the man who placed upon sub- marine warfare it, crown_of supreme achievement by the torpedoing of the Lusitania. Ile was Rnnitan-Leutnant Sehwie 'or, commending U-20, and later U-88. Iie had entered the navy in 1808, and reached, therefore. the] summit of his career, the greatest; murder the world has known, before he was thirty-five; it was only in . November hast that a mine in the , North Sea put an end to his memories , and to his purposes. Deliberate Policy. It now appears that his supreme' deed was not of his own initiating; he 1 was selected by his superiors as a I suitable officer to carry out a plan: devised and prepared as a part of the deliberate policy of the German Ad- I miralty—that is to say, of the German I Government. Accurding to the evi- 1 dence which is available, his success: appalled him rather than otherwise; the world's outcry of horror was • audible even in Berlin, and upon his; return there he showed himself little —possibly by order of his superiors.I Even his reward was stealthily con- I ferred; it took the form of the Order of the House of Hohenzollern, the' Kaiser's personal decoration. U-20' finished obscurely; she stranded .in a' fog on the Danish coast in November,, 1910, and was blown up by her own crew, A year Inter Schwieger, now • in command of U-88, was groping • .v--...-1. sttbiner1 company with another U -horst. The crew of the second suhmsrine. sudden-' 17 heard an e.:nlooictn and' felt the jar of it in their own vesss-1. They tried vets their speedal siri+aIlina' devisee' to et into communication with U-88, but failed, and she never returned to her been. The officer who sank the Belgian' Prince on July- 31, 1917, collected her I crew on the decd: of hes snhmerine and then s"d•mer•red vets Kapitnn-Lent- pant Paul liragenfebe, commanding U-44. ITe was a little older than Sehvrienet• ltivdim' entered the service 1 in 1900• the smotlity of his work and . his successes had been reemenized by the Order of the Red Lemli fRoter; Adler) and the. Hohenzollern Order with Swords; but a swift retribution was at- hand. ,While returning from the very eruiee during which he sank the Belg''an Prince he encountered a ship which could fight beck.

The patrol boat dropped depth charges where the U-boat had vanished; their terrific ex- ` plosions tore her delicate mechanism to pieces and forced her -to the sur- ' face, The patrol boat rammed her • amidships and cut her in half. She ' sank, gushing oil and air; no survivors came to the surface, But Four of Many. The officer who torpedoed the Sus- sex in March of191('1 was Oberleut- nant-zur-See Herbert Pustkuchen, commanding UB -20. Ile was younger than the others mentioned above,lrav- ing entered the navy only in 1008, but he had had time in hie brief service to earn for himself the Iron Cross of the First Class and the Order of the House of Hohenzollern of the . Third Class. He afterward was given veivrnond of the UB -(iii and was lost to his country in June of last year, when a trawler sighted the jumping wires of a partiy submerged submarine which was proceeding at roar to five knots. 'Phe trawler immediately heart- ed for the 'submarine, which disap- peared belay the surface of the water. A depth bomb was dropped and found its math, for a series of heavy -ex- plosions reile,wed, one in partienler causing en upheaval three times the height of tlee others, In the mean- while other trawlers had joined in the fray and had dropped depth bomb charges. Then there Was n great silence; not a•sound wars heard by the eager iifiteners on the trawlers, but a mass of cell on the surface bore wit - nese of the fact that the submarine dead. Communing With the Dead. • That is a pretty picture of simple faith that lldrs. Nina L. Duryea gives in her article on The Soul of Fighting France. Among the sand dunes of Brittany, she says, superstition finds fertile sail. Bretons are less French than any other class in France, having retained their own language, customs and beliefs. They have little fear of death, and they are deeply religious. A. cemetery is a place where children play, and on fete days it is the meet- ing place for gossips and swains. Relatives go always once a week with flowers to deck the graves and tidy the wee shrines above them as they do their own homes. A Breton apparently le not entirely convinced that the dead has really de. parted to another world; he hshaves as if the lost one were still near, hear- ing, seeing, and interested in his former associates. A discreet watcher will hear a widow say in a pleasant, conversational tone, while she tends th.. grave; "Was the rads cold on thee last night? I thought of thee when I lay w'th the children in our smug bed he - hind the lattice, Perhaps thou wouldst care to hear that Jean has twins. That has proved a happy marriage, tthough Marie herd no other dot than her good looks. Also the apple crop is exec], lea, and next week we begin to make eider.

The thirteen-al'tubin superstition,, which has spread to thirteen of any- , thing, is an example. The origin of the prejudice against this number is 1 usually supposed to be the t fact that thirteen persons sat down et the Last Supper, after which necurr'ed the Most tragic event of the Christian cra.

The Friday superstition arose lie - cause the crucifixion is supposed to have taken place on that day. Some persons think that it is unlucky to spill salt because Judas Iscariot seems '1 'to be spilling it in Da Vinci's pocture of the Last Supper. Others think that i it is because salt is a symbol of in- ' eorruptihility, and spilling it is there -1 fore a sign of broken friendships and general upsets. There ale some curious and very I widespread customs of a superstitious nature about sneezing. People some-; times say "God bless you!" to the sneezer. In similar circumstances the Ronrnn% used to say, "Juniter preserve you!" The Greeks did the same, and the cestom was ancient even in the time of Aristotle, who endeavor:: to account for the custom in his Prob- lems; but he evidently knew nothing of its origin. When a Ilindu sn"esee the hystand- cry out, "Lire!" and the sneezer re- plies, "With you."

It was not long before Jerry realiz- ed that his prospects for an early marriage had been improved by Dave's release from prison. Before that had taken place, Jerry had fell' that marriage, no matter how much he and Nora might desire it, must re main a remote possibility. IIe could not niarl'y her and leave his mother to live alone; Nora could not merry hint and leave leer mother to live alone; and to starry and have both mothers live with them—well,. that would not he a promising experi- ment, oven if his mother were will- ing to make it, which she never would be. . But Dave's release had siMplified the situation. Dave would be able now to take care of Mrs. Scanlan; and after Kate and Peter and' Betty had started ei,)on their independent career, there would be absolutely no- thing to prevent Jerry and Nora from getting married and taking Mrs. Donohue to live with them. It was clear enough to Jerry; and in discovering that marriage, instead of being a thought to play with, had been suddenly brought forward into the realm of immediate actualities, he felt a tremor of dismay. He would have liked not to consider it at ail until he had passed his bar ex- aminations anti got some kind of a start towards the practice 'of his new profession. It was the most in- convenient time to have to be both- ered by plans of mairiage and ar- rangericnte for an entire read,iu_te men!, of life, Even more disturbing to Jerry was the ominously,eletermined pre- paration on Rate's part for the withdrawal of her little family from the roof that had sheltered them. Although their departure was not and could not be imminent, there was a dispiriting feeling of Immin- ence and inevitability in the air, Kate told Jerry with unconcealed satis- faction that the Commercial School practically guaranteed to find ,you a place if you had taken the full course in stenography and had shown pro- ficiency. And after one month at it she reported that the instructor was most encouraging. Jerry won- dered jealously how she could be so enthusiastic and so happy; it was al- most: ungrateful of her, at certainly was selfish. Of course young' things were always excited by any prospect of change; but still, if her, affections had gone out to him and; his mother as hie had to Peter and Betty and even her selfish little self,; she couldn't be so gay and sanguipe1 over the prospect. He hardly ever had any converse - "I tried, but I geese they didh t went it." Site opened the eat1elime an:f crew out a slip that she glanced at and then mimed over to .Jerry. "Of Course I didn't real'y expect hoanything mere -abut I couldn't help 'They might have written yott a letter anyway:" Jerry exclaimed in- dignantly. "I'll het it was good too. Let me read it, will you, Kate?" "No, I don't think I could. I know Dolt' that it's poor. I would'n't want you to 11.0 it.' "Anyway you must keep on trying, That's what you ought to be doing. Much better than grubbing along in some business office." "But it doesn't loop as if 1• could even grub 'olottg by writing, Jerry. I clic} hope I could get something ac- cepted once in a while; it wotul<I help. But of course I don't intend to lot writing interfere with my stain work." "How are you getting on with that?" "Pretty well now. Typewriting 1 don't have much trouble with, and I'rn able to take simple dictation if it isn't to fast. "They feel quite sure I'll get a position as soon as I've finished' the course. "Whatever the position is, don't be in a hurry to leave us, Kate. Don't leave until, what with your writing and your regular work, you can count on at least eight hundred a year." "No; I think that the only 'e'ey to do is to start 0112 and be independent when you mean to be independent. It won't do me a bit of harm to feel the spur of necessity." "It won't do you a bit of good eith- er," grumbled' Jerry. It made him the more unhappy the more he thought about it. He had become so attached to Peter sncl Betty and they to hien that he felt it woe positively cruel to compel a separation. Kate was a crealeore of steel to treat thele all so. IThy did she insist? Merely to ask himself the question tensed him to have un- comfortable thoughts. What else w•a'tld the proud, hieelmseirited girl do after receiving- such an intim :tion of his d'csiens apse desires its Itis mother had given Bate? And why had his mother convey- ed that intimation? She was not ordinarily addieted 10 the 'Perham - mice of gretvi 1.;s mid o.,dMoue nets. She was not in the habit of indulging- in idle gossip.

Edinburgh Castle, now lying in New York harbor, is 0000 of the most intpressiy° of its kind re- e-ently brought, to these shore:, as the skipper bells it. Fairly in the war Captain Gwatkin- Williatns was in command'ofa small steamship, the Tatra, which was taken over by the British Navy and assigned to scout duty off tete coast of • Ireland. After fifteen months the Taura was ordered to the Mediterran- ean and finally reached the coast of Egypt. "We had been cruising for a fort- night in that locality," said the cap- tain, "when on Guy Fawkes' Day, November 5, 1915, as we were cele- brating on board ship, a torpedo struck us and wrecked the engine room, killing some of our men and wounding others. It looked like Blighty for all of us. The gun crews took their places and began firing et spots where they figured the submar- Ine might be lurking. The ship was sinking rapidly and some of the crew managed to launch the boats. We were making away from the sinking ship when the submarine appeared, formed us in line and towed us ashore." The captain said that he and his crew were turned over to Turkish offi- cers, who kicked then abort tt 0001 deal and at first refused to give them food and wader. Finally a goat was turned over to them for food, and the hungry men killed it and ate it. Later, as they travelled acrina the N ni lrtn Desert, they were glad to eat i1). meat of a cannel which hod been dim,ued in a desert well, the captain sent.
