TUESDAY, AUGUST, 21, 1917 THE REVIEW; REIDSVILLE, N. 0. PAGE SEVEN IIOW A DESTROYER EVADESU BOATS Speed and Skillful Handling Keep Submarines Wary. REPORTER SEES ATTACK GAMPS IN FRANCE PLEASE PERSHING Pays Unexpected Visit to the Training Grounds. Torpado Mlsssd Ita Mark by a 8oant Six Faat 8warm of Fast P-trola Making It Increasingly Periloua For Garmana to Show Thamaalvaa Abovo tha 8urfaca. Just how a British destroyer acts when attacked by a submarine was un expectedly demonstrated to a corro tipoudent while traveling on cue of the modern oil driven torpedo boat destroy ers from England to France. The correspondent bad been taken aboard the destroyer for the purpose of observing British methods of com bating the submarine menace, when the boat was suddenly attacked by a V boat, a torpedo missing it by a scant six feet, thunks to the vigilance and quick action of the crew. The destroyer was one of a certain nuiriber which were convoying in the usual manner some large transports carrying British troops to France. The group of ships was halfway across the channel when suddenly one of the look outs Sf led a pair of periscopes rise for a moment a few Inches out of the wa ter a half mile away. They were gone the next .instant, but almost before ttiey had gone came the shout, "Sub marine on port bow!" accompanied by a shrill call of warning from the de stroyer's whistle and the fluttering out of the flag which notified every other ship la the convoy of the enemy's pres ence. . Guns Brought to Bear. On every ship things began to hap pen more quickly tuau tne telling, Guns were swung in the direction from which the periscope had been seen ready to speak If tbo periscope appear ed again. Torpedo tubes likewise were swung into line, and the numerous anti-submarine devices along deck were la the hands of their skilled ex pert crews. But even while this was being done came the torpedo, plainly visible from the deck, Its gleaming brass body glls tening In the bright sunlight, its pro pellers pushing it at express train speed straight toward the destroyer Something was wrong with the mech anlsrn of this particular torpedo, for it sboufcl have traveled twelve or fifteen feet below the surface. Instead, it came bounding along in plain sight, now and then leaping out of the water, like a flat stone made to skip over the surface. Evea thus It might have found Its target but for the presence of mind of the sixty -year-old coxswain. He had been first to sight the periscopes and had rushed Immediately to an emer gency lever, whereby he Instantly topped the port engine, thus swing ing the ship with a lurch to the left The torpedo whizzed through the wa- - ter six feet behind the stern of the ' destroyer, its gradually lessening speed as it sank into the swirl of the en gines indicating that its possibilities for mischief were nearly done. Except for the coxswain's action in twisting the ship from its course, the missile would apparently have made a square hit in the stern magazine. Meanwhile the wireless was at work notifying the hundreds of patrols in all directions that the enemy was near. "We sighted a submarine on the port bow, Just off blank buoy, 2:03 p.. m. Torpedo passed just behind our stern, missing us. We are proceeding with our convoy," said the captain's mes ' sage. Many Veacvl Quickly In Pursuit It was caught simultaneously, ashore and afloat, by a hundred vigilant wire less eperators. The destroyer's cap tain, according to his orders, must not leave his convoy to seek out and attack the boat. Others would attend to that Already they were gathering for the chase trawlers, chasers, drifters, destreyers. Even a dirigible airship far off en the horizon had caught the wire less' call and withjthe quick turn of a Beagll was swooping down to the pur ' suit. Tha transports and destroyers, al though fairly confident that the U boat would scarcely dare show herself again, even for a pot shot, were nevertheless takug every precaution. Every ship wag at full speed, oil burning, destroy ers constantly protecting their charges. The whole attack occupied bare sec onds. Convoy and charges were out of range In a few minutes at the most. Now-here had there been the slightest panic or flurry, but movements of men and aMps made with almost automatic precision and speed. The efficiency of the British naval man is the efficiency of oleckwork. Every cog knows its place. There is no meddling, no clash ing, interference, but a confident rap id eficaency which somehow demands the se of the adjective "deadly." Twcsrtjr minutes later the transports were aafe in their port ei destination, and tbe destroyer convoy was off again, thirty aaOes an hour, down the coast to Ita swat appointment MVa while the business of seeking out the enemy was going on in the fleet of Mbamarine hunters which bad gath reaand "Blank buoy.m Just bow the was done and Just what was the re-3 It la not permitted to te!L WORK NOW WELL STARTED Commander Questions Cooka About tha Food Supply, and All Are Wall Satisfied Many of tha Man Saa tha General For tha First Time Potatoes A-plenty. General Pershing gave the American expeditionary force an example of the strenuous life by sweeping through nearly a dozen villages where United States soldiers are living in France and visiting nearly all training centers which have been established from America's first great contribution for the war for democracy. It was not a cursory inspection that the general made. He went into minute details all along tbe line, questioned private soldiers, company cooks and various other ranks as to how thing: were going with them and what if any thing could -be-done to improve the sit uation. General Pershing spent the night at a quaint little French village and reach ed the American army area early next morning. Ills visit was entirely infor mal, and he found the forces Just as he desired engaged in their dally rou tine work and drill. At the end of the first day's Inspec tlon General Persuing said: "Our prin cipnl concern Just now of course is to perfect the army organization. This is a big task, but it is moving along smoothly and in a most satisfactory manner. Work Well Started. "The work at certain ports of disem borkation is well started. Railroad materhr Is coming over as rapidly as can be arranged. The progress w have made thus for with the assist ance of the French is a source of great satisfaction to me. Billets and train ing ground for men are as well located as could be expected at this time of the year, when space is limited by crops in the fields. "After these are removed we will have. plenty of space for lodging and training the divisions that are to Come Training Is progressing very well with the assistance of the French." General Pershing was untiring in his inspection of the training area. He in quired into every phase of the men's dally life, the character and the quan tity of their food, even to the disposi tion of garbage slops, which he found were ail going to French farmers, who were delighted to have this matter to feed their pigs, taking advantage of every sort of refuse containing fat. General Pershing found the America soldiers and the French villagers livln together in the greatest amity. He in quired about the washing for soldiers and found that they nearly all washed their own clothes in the village wash houses erected along running streams the villagers washing on one bank and the soldiers on the other. At several company kitchens the American commander interrogated, the cooks closely. . "Do you get enough to eat and to feed the men?" he asked one veteran cook who has been in the regular army for a number of years. "Yes, sir," replied the cook, stand in at respectful attention. To you get any vegetables?" asked General Pershing. "No, sir," replied the cook. Potatoes I rt Plenty. "Don't you get any potatoes?" asked General Pershing, with some surprise. "Oh, yes, sir," was the prompt reply. "Ana onions find tomatoes r ques tioned the general further. "Yes, sir." "And beans?" "Yes, sir." "Then, what do you want?" "Nothing, sir." General Pershing smiled and moved away satisfied that that particular company was doing very well in war time and hi the war zone. At another company kitchen the cook said the only complaint he had to make was that the company's share of can ned salmon bad not been forthcoming regularly. . "What do you get as a substitute?" asked the general. "Well, of course, sir, we get bacon, replied the cook, somewhat subdued. "Any otner complaint r tne com mander inquired. There was none, and again the gen eral passed on completely satisfied with prevailing conditions. - Many troopers saw General Pershing for the first time in their lives. His visit was so unexpected at certain points of the far flung training area that the soldiers speculated at first whether he was Tershlng. Several times they referred the dispute to the correspondents accompanying tbe offl cer. "I knew it was Pershing all the time," boasted one old trooper, "be cause I saw his picture in the paper, and be looks Just like it." General Pershing gave orders looking to a little smarter setup of the men in the future.. A great majority of the troop bow la France are recruits in the regular army, end many of them are learning tha art ef soldiering for the first tiase, A Florentine Episode By ELINOR MARSH Arthur nem,street, a rich young American, before settling down to career, concluded to spend a season in Europe. lie sailed from New York to Naples, thence proceeded to Rome and later to Florence. It is supposed by persons who have not been in Italy that one sees every- where relics of the ancient Romans, There are comparatively few such relics, but there are many of mediaeval Italy. The most costly dwellings are "palazzos," built several centuries ago, Ilemstreet took a fancy to Florence and concluded to spend some time there, so he rented a palazzo, or, rather, half a one, and, hiring servants, settled himself down, as it were, in the middle of the sixteenth century. The building had been divided into two parts, the part that Heinstreet did not occupy being occupied for a small family hotel, or rather what In Eu rope is culled a pension, which is mid' way between a hotel and a boarding house. One rainy afternoon nemstreet, who had spent most of the day in the pic ture galleries for which Florence is noted, came to his palazzo. It was so dark that his servants had lighted the lamps, and, going upstairs, as he en tered the hall on which his bedroom was located, he was astonished to see that the hall was double the length he had supposedit, to be, At any rate, he saw double the lights, but they were dim, as were the objects they lighted. Ilemstreet was very much puzzled. Going Into his room he threw off his wet overcoat and rubber shoes, then went out with the intention of exploring the hall. lie was surprised to see that it ended as he had under stood It to end with a picture. Ilemstreet was frightened. Surely something- had broken loose in his brain. He went to the picture, exam ined it, saw that it was what he had supposed it was and went away resolv ed to watch himself closely for other symptoms of a disordered mind. But he felt as well as he had ever felt, and after awhile he ceased to worry about any supposed disorder. nowever, he never went upstairs to hia room without looking as soon as he turned inte the hallway to see if it had been doubled as before. But the fig ures of the picture were always there, and the hallway was of its usual length. One night when Hemstreet was in bed he heard, or fancied he beard, a giggle in the hall. There were no wom en in the house except a couple of housemaids who knew their place and were In bed when Hemstreet had come In. Curious to know what the sound meant, he arose and, cautiously open ing his door enough to see through the aperture, saw a sight that amazed him more than bis previous unexplained one. A young girl stood in the frail facing the picture, laughing and beck oning. She was all aquiver with ex cltement though she did not speak except in pantomime. Thunderstruck, Ilemstreet turned from the door, felt in a closet for a dressing gown, then hunted for a palr of slippers beside his bed, for he dSre not strike a light for fear of scaring the apparition without, then returned to the door, threw it open and went out Intending, if it were flesh and blood, to capture it. The hall was empty. He looked to the end toward which the girl had beckoned. There was the picture, its figures immovable as ever. Hemstreet went back to bed in won der. Somehow it did not seem to him that he had seen a ghost. He felt no terror, though he began to worry anew lest there was a hitch In his brain. He lay awake most of the night trying to solve the problem, but finally went to sleep thinking of it. He arose the next morning shortly before time for luncheon and stood looking out on to the street A cab drove up to the pension, next door, and a party alighted, which included sev eral girls. Ilemstreet was thunder struck to recognize in one of these girls the one who had stood in his hall way the night before. It was now evident that the appari tion was flesh and blood and doubtless on a lark. Hemstreet went next door and asked if there was any passage way between the pension and his domi cile, but the landlady answered him that the two wings had been thorough ly cut off from each other. She had a motive in this since she suspected that Hemstreet had lost property, which would be laid to some one in her wing. Hemstreet kept an eye out for the apparition in the galleries and finally came upon her. She was an American with a party of Americans. After se curing an Introduction to her he ae used her of having trespassed on his premises. She colored and after some hesitation confessed. A hallway extending from" one end to the other of the original palazzo had been cut In two parts by a door swing ing on a central pivot On one side of the door was a mural painting, on the other a mirror. A party of tourist girls in the pension had discovered this secret and one night led by the girl Hemstreet had discovered, made a foray into his hallway. Only the girl In question entered, the rest hanging back. She was beckoning them to come when Ilemstreet discovered her. While he bad been bunting for hia gown she bad beaten a retreat and wring tbe door back to 1U original place.

It Is guaranteed to start your liver with out stirrng you up inside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight en you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. Ask Anyone Who Hat Used It There are families who always aim to keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Col ic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the bouse for use in case it is needed, and find 4 that it is not only a good investment but savee them no end of suffering. Aa to its reliability, ask anyone who has used it No humbug! Any corn, whether hord, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freezone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cracinnatti man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every eorn or callus. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. Instant ly the soreness disappears and short ly the corn or calus will loosen and can be lifted right off with the fin gers. This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corns or caluses but shrivels them without even Irritating the surrounding skin. Just think! No pain at all; no soreness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your drugglBt don't have freezone have him order It for you. Farmara! Liaten! irarnw moaui uya.Kam World's Latentand liint.
