RECEIVE WOUNDED MEN
Lowering dusk and a raw wind;
dense crowds, a gruy ambulance line
drawn up In the tnilu shed, a sup
pressed feeling of emotion this is how
London welcomes "buck home" her
wounded from the great push.
It wits so the other night. London
ers cheered and threw flowers, dinners
grew cold In a thousand households
but the wounded were greeted with
the welcome of triumphant heroes.
By the time the, train arrived the
audience had grown to two long rows
five or ten deep In the train shed and
thousands mure outside.
The first ambulance sneaked timidly
out of the shed, seeming to tiptoe
through the rows of craning necks.
Coster women ripped through the
crowd shrilling their cry of "Vl'lets!
Sweet vl'lets and daffydils for the
wounded:" and peddling with both
hands.
Peering luto the shadowy Interior of
the creeping ambulance, the crowd saw
six men lying on the swinging cots
with a nurse stooping over, examin
ing the symptom card of one. Flowers
rained out of the crowd, geutly pelting
the wounded. Violets and daffodils.
THE JITNEY OF THE SEAS
TO DEFY THE U-BOATS
How to beat the submarine? That Is
the question which now confronts the
shipping world. The destruction, of U
boats is a naval problem, to be dealt
with so far as possible by naval forces
but naval measures are either unable
to cope with the situation or are Inade
quate to meet the emergeul-y, and it
is necessary for shipping men to con
slder hovy commerce may be continued
in spite of the menace.
The answer as conceived by F
Huntington Clark, mining engineer, of
New York Is that the only way to
overcome the U boat Is to defeat its
object.
Germany la now sinking tonnage
raster than all the mnrine yards of the
world can build It. This is the couclu-
slon to be drawn from the February
reports, say tnose wno Have studied
the question.
The Clark plan Is to build a new
type of ship, one which can evade the
submarine. "The American motor ship"
Is the name suggested. It would be a
vessel of 1,000 tons burden, extraordi.
narily fleet and agile, for the answer to
the submarine, says Mr. Clark, "la In
a quick helm." The craft would be
constructed of wood, fir from the Pa
cific northwest and Texas hard pine.
When construction on a large scale
once got under way the pieces could
be sawed at the mills and sent to the
shipyards to be put together "like a
cheap auto." While it might take six
mouths to build the first vessel, In this
way they could be turned out In four
months thereafter.

Just off the fringe of the throng a
little cubbyhole of a cigar store was
enjoying a business rush. Two clerke
shoved out cigarettes In twenty-flvee

Ambulances were filing softly past
In regular Intervals of half a minute,
their headlights flashing on the shiny
pavemeut. Some had a "sitter," a
man whose wounds permitted him to
sit up in the stretcher. The sitters
waved back at the fluttering handker
chiefs, and nurses smiled in apprecla
tlon of the tribute to the men.
At the last came an ambulance that
moved even more Carefully than the
others. Most people In London have
some one out In France these days, and
the particular ambulance obviously ear
lied some one who was very badly off
The cheering hushed.
Through the back of the car a dot-
tor was seen bending over a wounded
man. A little homely woman in the
front rank covertly made the sign of
the cross and then smiled up at her
son, whose face was disfigured and
whose sleeve was marked with the gold
stripe showing he had been wounded

President Wilson took the first
step to control food, products Tuesday
when he wrote a letter to Represen
tative Webb asking hlirro to have his
ronmfttee take u,p and report as
early aa possible a resolution giving
tie President power to "direct that
certain kinds of traffic or particular
shipments as may be determined by
h'm," shall have preference In trans
portation, either by rail or water.
The President di4 not ask the com
ortttee to draft such a Joint resolu
tion but had already prepared the
measure and Inclosed a copy of the

one-half of one day's expenditure for
the war. Crews would be small and
marine Insurance cheap,
The one difficulty in construction
would be In duplicating the marine
Diesel engine, which has made the
German submarine a possibility, but It
Is believed that this could be sur
mounted by American skill and Inven
tiveness.
The principle of these small freight
carriers would be to divide up cargoes
Into thousand ton units. At the pres
ent time a U boat may bag a 20,000 or
80,000 ton cargo at one stroke. Under
the contemplated plan the submersible
would destroy only a thousand tons
with each shot
If the average U boat leaves port
with fifteen torpedoes and makes the
high average of 50 per cent of hits
an especially high average against a
swerving, dodging mark a total of
freight it could send to the bottom
would be between 7.000 and 8.000 tons.
In comparison a U boat which has
sunk one JUMNiO ton ship may how have
fourteen torpedoes left with which to
pile up a total conceivably of 100,000
tons. .'
But this Is not the only point at
which the effectiveness of the U boat
would be reduced. The motor ship
would be essentially one of low visibil
ity. A steamship with its column of
smoke can at present lie sighted at a
distance of about thirty-five miles.
Invisible at Ten Miles.
The motor vessel, on the other hand
not only because It is small, but be
cause it has no pillar of smoke could
not be sighted beyond the curvature of i
the earth, or, to make a liberal esti
mate, ten miles.
Now, the submarine, lying in wait at
any given station for a steamship and
spotting her thirty-five miles away,
would be able. to move perhaps twenty
five miles toward the vessel's course to
place Itself immediately in front of her
before she came up. On the other side
of its station it would have the same
margin. This gives one submarine,
therefore, a patrolling radius of fifty
miles.
Rut "with.' a craft that the IT boat
could sight only ten miles away it is
probable that It could not move more
than seven miles, or the altitude of a
right angled triangle, itefore crossing
her path. This would give the subma
rine a patrolling radius of only four
teen mile;, or a net loss of thirty-six
As a result it would tal.e more than
three times as many submarines- to es
cablish a tight blockade.
One of the chief: objections' on the
part of shipping men to undertaking
this venture, it is believed. Is the hope
that the U boat war will soon be ended
and they do not wish to undertake such
a formidable expense and revolutionary-',
expedient if it turns out that nor
tuul conditions on t lie sea can -soon bf
resumed.
All hail to the farmer girl
Busy all day long,
She flirts about her father's place
With a happy smile and song.
Kuddy and clear her cheeks so fair,
Kissed by the summer sun.
Roguish and bright her starry eyes,
Gleaning with health and fun,
Oh jolly little farmer girl.
Contented brave and gay;
May the glare of yonder great city
Never beckon you away.
Some day the dear old homestead
May loose its charm for you,
And the call of that great city
Your bounding spirits woo.
Come with me little imaiden
There where the bright lights glow;
Where all seems gay and joyous
No thought of grief or woe.
Oh look in the passing faces,
Do you see happiness there?
Alas you can read the story
Of sorrow, shame and care!
The dregs of the cup are bitter,
The wine has lost its charm
In mi i;ory they are turning
Hack to the dear old farm.
Rut no, the step is taken,
Too late now to turn back,
Who cares for the sin-s'ained pilgrim
Who strayed from ihe narrow track?
Oh let us hurry homeward
Through green meadows and fields;
Out of the simoke and turmoil,
The rumble and roar of the wheels.
Rack to the dear old Homestead,
And God's pure country air;
The hills and verdant valleys
Never looked half so fair.
Sweet little country maiden;
With innocent eyes of blue
1 know that the light's of the city
Will beckon in vain for you.
The lesson has brpught this wisdom
May its memory never fade
That country life is the happiest
, Dear little country imaid.

clare that they , have never seen as
cold weather for this time of year as
we have had the past week.
Farm work is progressing nicely
these days but the cool weather has
delayed cultivating the corn crop, and
ihe setting out the tobacco crop. Only
about 20 per cent of the tobacco crop
has yet been set out.
