On day they were driving toward

and t ey began to talk over possibili-

upon plan.
Th next time they arrived at the
village near the Piave, where they
used o deliver the mails, the Italian,

ask if ,he could take it to a motor

there was nothing to attract attention

Thesult was that they got by

and i ' rred to them that suspicion

that ,=y had been told to take the

bega o play on. the Austrian bank.
Relyin: on this friendly glare to daz-

men awled on hands and knees to
the '. ter's edge and wading into the

Their Weakness consisted in not being

this question directly. "'Rte ase going,
to organize the rnasses," they said

we shall coinhat the evil forces by the
Zorces of freedom." This was clear,
The Constitutional Democrats had no

Quaint Prejudice.
When postage stamps first came
into use in England some persons
declared that the effigy of majesty
was too sacred to serve as a label for
letters.
"Have you seen the stamps yet?"
wrote one ardent loyalist in'. 1840.
"This is the greatest „insult the pre-
sent Ministry could lave offered the
•
queen."
King Ferdinand of Sicily took the
matter so seriously that he had a
sliecial postmark made in the shape
of a frame so that the officials could
cancel the stamps without striking
his portrait.
WEAK, NERVOUS PEOPLE
SUCH SUFFERS,CAN BE RESTOR-
ED BY BUILDING UP ' THE
BLOOD.
Nervous people who have not yet
developed a disease that can bere-
cogeized and treated by the medical
profession have the greatest trouble
in finding relief„ Irritation, head-
aches, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepd
she, all these discomforts make life
mierable, but are endured rather
than run a doctor's bill without de-
finite hope of an improved condi-
tion. -
Every sufferer should know ,the
danger of such a condition to the
nervous system. Nervous debility
and _even paralysis. may result if the
tone of the nerves is not restored.
The one big, fact that brings hope
and relief is that the- nervee can be
restored by building up the blood.
It cannot be too often repeated that
only through the blood can nourish-
ment or medicine reach the nerves.
Dr. Williams' Vita Pills make- the
blood. rich and red, and quickly re-
store vitality land energy to a weak,
nervous system. A nervous person
who gives these pills a , trial; is al-
most certain to see good results, and
what is more, the benefit will be
lasting because , - the trouble is at-
tacked at its root; building up the
blood restores the,,nerve force. That
is why peoplewhoeoceasionally take
Dr. Williams' Pink` Pills always feel
bright, active and strong. . Mrs .
William McIntyre,- Gananoque, Ont.,
says:—"For in nixmber of years I
was always tired and listlese. The
least noise would so startle me that
I would tremble and shake; my heart
would flutter,' and I would feel as,
though I were choking. I was al-
most who 1y unfitted for housework.
and always so nervous that life was
almost a burden. I tried several
medicines, but they did not help me
in the leash. One day I received a
pamphlet describing Dr. Wit ia
rs
Pink Pills and decided to give .them a
trial. I ant glad now that 1 did for
after using eight boxes they have so
strengthened and built up my run-
down nervous system that I can
work with pleasure and feel refresh-
ed after a night's sleep. I sincerely
hope some similar sufferer may bene-
fit by my experience,"
If you are weak, nervous fear feel-
ing "out of sorts," give Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a trial, and you will be
surprised to see how quickly the
nervousness will pass away and your
former energy return. You can get
these pills through your medicine
dealer, or by mail at 50 cents a box
or six boxes for $2.50 from - the Dr.
Williams' Medicine. .Co., Brockville,"

THE SURRENDER OF A HUN
U-BOAT.
One of the most remarkable of all
the navy stories of war is told in the
Boston Sunday Post by Torn Harring-
ton of ,the U.S.N.,
Last August sew him assigned to
a patrol boat of a squadron of some
16 srn'all naval. craft, bound for ac-
tive duty in 3 uropean waters. Five
das's out from Prance the squadron
first sighted e submarine that three
days later liroved to be the sister
ship of the more famous U-53.
"We sighted her again and again
during the next •three days, but, of
course, -we had no reason to suspect
that it was the same submarine,"
Harrington began. "She first came up
far away and out of rang.e of our
guns. We could just make out her
periscope. The she went under.
"When she came up again on the
following day we thought that it was
another submarine, for, under ordin-
ary circun -istances, it would have
been the height of folly for a solitary
sub to chase a squardron-• And when
she came up several times later in
the 'dayit was the natural conclusion I
that wo were +w ning into a regular
nest of U,boats. i
"On the third day we were steam-
ing along slowly in. a formation that
resembled a large square. Our port
of destination in France was due to
be made in about two days. It was
• about ten, o'clock in the morning. 1
Everything was ship shape aboard
the ships of teh squadron Lookouts
were watching close and every gun
crew was ready to jump into action.
"Then,, without the slightest warn-
ing,
arn-
ing, we spotted the periscope of a
sub poking up above the water right
in the very middle of the squadron.
Inside of 15 seconds a score of guns
were being pointed on that; sub. .
"Five seconds more anst• she was
due to, be blown; Tinto a b,w dred thou-
sand bits before she could raise her '
guns above deck.. There was a cer-
tain amount of thrills to the situa-,
t at cnne.

than practice combat
"Quicker than I ant telling it, we
noticed a white flag attached to the
periscope, It was dirty and soaking
wet and half -wrapped around the peri-
scope.
"Even though it was obviously a
flag of truce stories of Hun treach-
ery flashed through our minds. It
sure was a puzzling proposition.
"Then the bulk of her rose up,
dripping a ton of water and making
a splendid mark as she floundered
about in the sea. She was about a
anile from each one of the ships in
the squadron.
"And as she rose up the - hatch
amidships opened so quickly that a
sea swashed in. but even as it did
a bareheaded sailor scrambled out on
to deck, holding up - his hands in, that
well-known 'Kamerad' fashion.
"Another sailor followed him and
then ( another and another until the
whole deck was lined with 'Kamer-
ads'i balancing themselves with' some
difficulty as they held up'.their hands
in token of -surrender. '
"No, we were no longer puzzled, but.
we sure were consumed with curiosi-
ty to know what the whole business
n.enat for it was an unheard of
thing: for a submarine to come up to
the surface deliberately and actual-
ly force an enemy to seize her.
"We got the answer a half-hour
later, and I was fortunate to go with
the boarding party,.
"It was a miserable lois of men that.
lined up on the deck of the U -C-53.
Every one of thein looked 'desperate.
Their faces were chalky white and
contrasted strangely with the deep,
dark hollows under their eyes. Their
cheeks were drawn in and only one
look was needed to see that they were
sick in mind and in body. Their
clothes hung on them like those of a
scare -crow in a cornfield.
"We hurried aboard and went in-
side her and were ,net by a frightful
stench.
" 'The captain and rst officer are
dead—killed," the my English-
speaking sailor explain
"We found the body of the cap-
tain—a young man—e mpled up on
the floor near his desk, and the body
of the first officer in his bunk.
"Then we got the startling story
that explained away all the mysterious

"She was a minelayer. Ten. days
before she had set out from her Ger-
man 'base with orders to report to a
secret sea base on an island in the
outskirts of the Azores.
"The trouble began . when it was'
first realized that she had not been
adequately provisioned. The crew,
nearly all veteran U-boat men, had
many times before experienced this
tot if phase of life on a German sub,
realized the horrors that would en-
sue.
"So they delegated a committee to
protest to the captain and to demand
that they return immediately to Ger-
many and replenish their supply of
provisions. He would not listen to
their r
e r a grlment and told them coldly;
and brutally that under no consider- i
ation would he deviate from his or-
ders to go. .on.
"Then, as the story goes, an allied'
merchant ship was sighted. The cap-
tain ordered that the merchant
should be chased. The crew refused:
He t tened them and
s.
wore
they
would in any event.
"Already
half-starved, it was easy
for. their ' mental and physical needs
to rise above 'discipline. As the cap-
tain reached for a revolver one of
the crew shot him dead.
"As -the captain fell several of the
crew ran to the first oifid°er's bunk
and shot him as he lay asleep. -
"Immediately they held a consulta-
tion. It was fully appreciated that
they would be shot if they ever re-
turned to Germany. Finally, it was
decided that the quickest and easiest
way out of their difficulties was to
surrender to some allied ship of war.
"But how? It was highly danger-
ous to get within hin range
of any -enemy
gun. And it was felt that no one
would accept the good faith of a de-
liberate surrender by wireless.
" "At this time our squadron hap-
pened across their path, and they
made
up their minds to await t an op-
portunity to get close enough
to come up and display a flag of
truce with safety.
"This accounted for their mysteri-
ous appearances and disappearances.
For two days they could not work up
enough nerve to get in close.
"At last on the third day hunger
and sickness drove them to the des-
perate move that they snide in coin-
ing up right in the middle of the
squadron. Twelve of them, were so
sick that they had to be carried to
the sick bay of our flagship.
"We towed her into a French port
.and the remainder of the trip
without incident save for the novel,
of the new waters." -
