STRANGE ADVENTURE RE
VKALKD.
The Pathfinder. *
One afternoon, in 1918 a shabbily
dressed man presented hknself at the
door of then Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker's residence in Washing
ton. j ■<
“Ask no question." he said, “but
follow me."
Somewhat mystified, though fore
warned that strange happenings would
occur, the secretary trailed the Mran
ger. . Both entered a dilapidated Ford.
For more than an hour they •drive
through the poorer streets of the cap
ital. Mr. Baker was fearlul thal lie
was in evil hauds. However, the ear
finally drew up at a -file entrants' lo
the Union station at Washington.
The war secretary was hustled through
a secret entrance to the trajn shed,
and then along - the track. 1 * until lie
was finally boosted into an unlighted
Pullman car. Here his roughdeiokiug
escort left him. Baker set down ami
waited for developments. ,
Soon a passing Negro porter de
manded to know who Baker was and
even threatened to throw him off the
ey. Baker told him to Inquire at the
station and the porter left. stßl sus
picious. latter the car. still dark; was
attached to a freight train. About
midnight it was shunted into a freight
yard near New York. A not her un
kempt individual presented Irmself to
the secretary and conducted the lat
ter to the waterside. Baker was told
to mount a rope ladder hanging ov-f
the side of a vessel tied tip at doek. lie
found himself on the deck of a battle
ship. An officer questioned him and
when Baker announced that he was
“secretary of war" Ihe officer laughed
and exclaimed, "apple sauce.” But
the efficer consulted the vessel's Com
mander and soon thereafter Baker was
hustled below decks. For several days
he was a virtual prisonpa, not being
allowed to come on deck and deprived
of light at night. It was not until
the vessel (the cruiser Seattle) arriv
ed at Brest that his identify was ra
vea led.
“And that is only one instance of
the thoroughness and efficiency of Ad
miral Benson," remarked Air. Baker
jtt a recent testimonial dinner tender
ed the veteran officer and shipping
board member on the occasion of the
admiral's 70th birthday.
Mr. Baker's war-tiine adventures
were due to the government's desire
to have him arrive in Europe before
enemy agents knew that he had left
Washington. The secret trip abroad
was engineered by Admiral Benson.
The latter had previously instructed
the secratary of war to obey certain
orders, no matter how strange they
might seem.
At the reeer.t dinner, where the
story was made public for the first
time, Mr. Baker credited Admiral
Benson with developing the convoy
system that contributed so much to the
success of American troop movements
in the war. The British at first op
posed the idea bur Admiral Ben-on.
war-time navy chief, finally won la
point. Mr. Baker said : t was pviu
cipflly due to Admiral Benson that ihe
army and navy worked in perfect bar
tunny. "From John Paul Junes to
Admiral Ileus n." Secretary Wilbur
added, "the same spirit of sell sacri
fice has actuated the men of our navy,"
Admiral Benson is now retired.-" £&
Recklessnes on the Highway.
Cbarlotte Observer.
There were two eases of veeSßte
driving cn the highway, the past
Sunday, tin the road between China
drove and Salisbury, the narrow
strip of block top was disputed by
a party of negroes in an automobile
with an automobile owned by ; a
farmer and occupied by hi- family".
The young man driving the fanner's
car was killed and other members
of the party were injured. The
negroes who ran into the ear sped
away. A Charlotte woman was driv
ing home along the Gastonia high
way. The road was wet' and she ap
proaehed a rurvp just in time to
see another ear come bowling around
it at full speed. Three negroes
in the ear and seeing the possibility
of A' crash, the driver applied the
brakes, so that his ear skidded into
that of the woman. The result was
two automobiles badly smashed and
a woman crushed almost to death.
It is reckless driving that t ttwti
tutes the peril of the highways, and
the driver is the more to blame
when, he is sober. The drunk driver
is a menace always to be watched
for. but look out for the joy-riders
and take to the ditch!

AVhcn women went from flounces
to tailored suits they were commend

its usual shortsightedness, could see
women "coming to their seifses." They
had a lot of fun with the women, too,
spoofing them about their uses.
. Then women began wearing stiff
collars and string ties, even shotring
