T*ie German craft followed at a safe dis tance for o time, but finally crawled closer, and after satisfying __ itself that it had superior speed and gmw power, opened fire. Failure of the mystery ship to re turn five at once baffled the German officers. They were quiet lor fifteen minutes and .then resumed fire. When the submarine came suficienfc iy close and was in good position abeam, Jthe concealed guns of this sailing- ship were brought Into play and landed sue mortal hits on the submarine which was unable to fire an additional shell. Just three. min utes after the first hit the' submarine was blown up by a shot which hit It just below the foredeck sod caused enexplosion which caused a vast col umn of water to be thrown high in the air. Later the same day another German gphmarine approached the Mary B. Mitchell and opened fire at. a distance of about two miles. After the sixth round the mystery ship was stopped sndua boat put off. To all appear ances the craft was? abandoned. The ..Wfe.^BreySed th? ?ppa?* wreck to. rail surface speea. men -w submerged for a time and suddenly rose to the surface agahv The gunners of the Mary B.

There were hundreds, of volun teers among officers qpd men for the hazardous service the San tee was about to undertake.

' Exactly at midnight, without the Slightest <warninfe ! the Saritee was struck amidsffip by a torpedo, which tore a tremendous hole in her end completely disabled her engines. She mmdiately wirelessed her plight and part of her crew put to sea in small boats. Like all mystery ships the Santee was filled 'with, wood and could not sink. Her. gunners stood ready to unmask the batteries and fmrupo*^ the submarine but the German did not show himself. All night long the Santee gunners watched for the en emy. For thkty-six hours the por tion of the crew still on the Santee kept in hiding* hoping the enemy would appear but in yam. A slow tug was summoned to take the Santee back to the. shipyard . la the South of England. She was drag-" ged through the submarine zone at' two miles an hour in the hope of in citing further attack, but without re gafts. The canny Germans eyjdentJy had full information about the San tee and gave her a wide berth. It took many months to repair the damage done by the well-placed tor pedo and the submarine campaign was off before the Santee was sole to make another 4rip. The ndventvxes of the -Mary B. Mitchell; a British mystery ship were more successful. Two Germaii sub marines were sunk in one day by "this vessel! This craft was one of the J5*st, if not the first of the decoy ships which played havoc with the U-boats. This vessel went , into . tha decoy service early in 1916, under command of Lieutenant John Lowrie. AH her New Generation but He Him self Stopped by the Waysde. Co?ld Destroy but Not BuiH.

It is true that more than one of the hiML distinctions which he enjoyed whether as a- holder of public office* or ns a private citizen still conspicuous in the public eye, came as the fruit of what at the moment appeared to be chiefly lucky circumstance; while from mora thaa one. of the difficulties into which his tempermental or his political meth ods repeatedly plunged him, a fortu nate turn of events, as startling, often as it was uaforseen, repeatedly afford ed, extrication. Yet we are inclined to think that historians, when they come to review his career in all its oo pects, will dwell rather upophis mis fortunes. More than that of any Pres ident since Jackson; it was his fortune to span two sharply opposed period of national development, one reactionary, the other radical, between which flow Led ?

One scans in vain the ear lier years of Mr. Roosevelt's public life for any clear premonition of either isolation or defeat.
