SAILORS' HYMN OF TRIUMPH.
Raving Rammed German Destroyer,
Sang "Abide With Me."
, When the Admiralty lifts the veil
of secrecy surrounding the latest dash
by the British Fleet to the German
coast one of the boldest and most'ex_
hilarating feats yet executed by the
navy Will he revealed, says the, Lan-
don Sunday ObserVer. Never in

and perilous than the coup which
has just been eccOmplishet1 by them in
the teeth of the German fleet A part
cipant in the engagement ..says:
"We 'set About them in a ding-doug
fashion, the Cleopatra being well

most awful pounding resulted. 1 may
remark that the German gunnery wa
an improvement on that of a yea
ago, and the enemy certainly landet

"The Cleopatra made a desperate
dash, clueing which a German de
strayer was absolutely cut in two and
wentto the bottom. When tbe
Cleopatra rammed the enemy de..
strayer we all 'sang 'Abide With Me.'
"We made the return journey in the
rnost abominable weather, and all out
boats excepting the Medusa returned
to port little tae worse for the scrap.
The crew of the Medusa had a very
narrow creep°. How they escaped
was miraculous, for when she collided
with the Layette& it was odds against
anybody being saved."
COMPULSION MEASURE
TO IN_CLIIDE IRELAND.
A despatch from Berlin says: Ger-
many concedes fully President 'Wil-
son's eontention that in the future no
merchant vessel whether freighter
er Passenger liner, shall be sunk
without warning, either within or
without the,war zone around the Brit-
ifth Isles, Unless they offer iesisttince
or attempt to escape. 'President Wil,
son 'already had. conceded the right
of submarines to sink ships under
such conditions.
Here is the clause wherein the Ger,
man government makes this eonces-
"The German government notilieS
the government of the United States
that German naval forces have receiv-
ed the following order: "In accord-
ance with the general principles of
visit and search., and the' cleeteinctiob
oe merchant vessels recognized by
international law, such vessels, both
within and without the area ()eel/trod
a Dural war 'Sone, shall not be eunk
withdut, warning and without saving
human lives unless the ship attempts
to escape, or offer resistance " •
Germeny's adherence to this policy,
however, is made conditional upon
the success of efforts it urge's. the
United States to make to force Great
Biltain to "preserve fully the min-
cifiles of international law."
"Should the ttbeps taken by the gov-
ernment of the United States (to force
England to alter her conduct of war)
not: attain the object it desires, t�
'have the laws of humanity followed
ley all belligerent nations, the Ger-
Man government would then be facing
a new situation in which it must re-
serve to itself complete liberty of ,de-
cision," concludes the note.

mediate diploniatic break. The Ger-
man note, though unsatisfactory in

eeady for service at the front. The
same with shoes, uniforms, rifles, ilia -
chine guns, bicycles and automobiles.
And nearby is a hospital where nien
are repaired and made fit for further
service.
Shoes Mended.
There is one shop here where shoes
are mended. It is a marvelous place,
a great ldng building with hundreds of•
workmen, all English cobblers from
heme..A. pair of work shoes is brought
in ab one end of the building, tattered
and torn; and with remarkable celerity
they are repaired and go out the other
end almost as good as new. First
they are thoroughly washed and disin-
fected. Then turned over to a master
cebblein who, by certain cabalistic
marks, indicates what, must be done1
to them. Then they are turned over
to the cobbler who does the work,
tearing them_apart and putting them
together again. A machine drives
great hobnails in the soles, iron plates
Iare nailed to the heels, and finally,
i the shoes are dipped in oil to make
them waterproof. When dry they are
shipped back to the front. The sav-
ing of money on shoes and other
articles which are repaired rather
than thrown away runs bo hundreds
of thousands of pounds a week.
Uniforms Repaired.
Nothing is wasted. Old uniforms
are brought in. If not too Inc gone
they aye repaired. If repair is im-
possible they are turned over to the
women, who cut oft all the buttons and
chevrons, rip out the linings and save
the khaki cloth, which sells for $400
a ton.
Worn and broken rifles come down
front the front. They are carefully
examined by an expert who, by glanc-
ing through the barrels, ca.n tell if ,
further service is possible. If a rifle
is completely worn out in the barrel,
as sooner or later happens to all
rifles, the barrel is cast aside, butt all
other undamaged parts are saved. In
this same place machine guns are re-
paired.

marriages for the most part have been
