I "There was no preliminary bom

aa before the previous attempt. That
ana to be the first element In the sur

and the staff work beforehand even
fcduded precise orders for laying the

for every direction of the wind.

Tke great sea batteries of the Royal
Marine artillery In Flanders, among
the largest guns that were ever placed

to neutralise the bigger German artil

who were to collaborate with an aeri

occupants, Including Sublleut. Angus
H. MacLach'an, who was In command
of It, the upper and lower bridges and
the chartroom, swept by bullets, Com
mander Oodsal ordered the officers to
go with him to the conning tower.
They observed through the observa

breached some 200 yards from the sea

ship had been In collision with It.
Nose Against Pier,
"Immediately after passing the
breach In the pier Commander Oodsal
left the conning tower and went on
deck, the better to watch the ship's
movements. He chose a position and
called In through the slit of the con

helm. The Vindictive responded and
laid her battered nose to the eastern
pier and prepared to swing her 320 feet
of length across the channel.

the millionaire packer, Patrick Cud
aliy. lie Is doing fine antlllquor edu
cational work In his packing plant at
Cudahy, Wis. In nn open letter pub
lished In the Milwaukee Times be thus
describes some of the effects of a
world-wide prohibition as he sees
them:
"If some all-powerful person were
to appear at the present time on earth
and perform a mlnicle, chahglng all
the boose in the world back to water,
and Issuing a decree that any person
who attempted to make another drop
of It would be struck dead by an elec
tric bolt from heaven, Just Imagine If
you can the change that would take
place In the world, say ninety days
after this event See the red noses
changing to white; the fat beer blojts
shrinking to their natural size; the
man whom alcohol made a brute of,
returning to his normal condition ; bis
wife, whose life th'ls alcohol brute sad
dened and almost destroyed, returning
to her normal condition ; ithe wrinkles
and tear furrows In her face being
smoothed out; the color coming back
to her cheeks; her eyes becoming
bright again; her saddened and
wretched face becoming joyful and
happy.
"In short, the home that alcohol
made wretched la now Joyful and
happy.
"We also gee the saloons changed
Into places of usefulness some of
them ice cream and soda water par-
! lore. A great many of them are used
for book stores, for the men who spent
their time In saloons are now reading
I books.

employment in the shops, and on the
farms, changed from Idle men to use
ful producers. The prisons, such as
our house of correction, are changed
from prison to recreation halls. The
grounds about them are converted
Into beautiful parks. People are now
saving the money formerly spent for
booze. Savings banks are springing up
all over the country. In short, the
drunkards and criminals of the world,
made so by alcohol, of all classes, are
now industrious people and living
hnppy lives. What a glorious change,
if this could be brought about, and
It may be partially brought about some
time by prohibition."
Mr, Cudahy confesses he drinks both
beer and whisky, yet seeing the evils
of Intemperance he uses his Influence
against the saloons In his own town.
A friend of his, Mr. J. P. Benscher, In
a letter published by the same paper,
eays:
"I am not a prohibitionist. I drink
beer, although I have never touched
whisky, but I have seen the misery
which It has created, and I shall do
rTlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllin everything within my power to wipe
out the thirty-elghf bum factories
which we now have In Cudahy."
Many drinking men, rich and poor,
are taking the same attitude.

London. "Fabricated"' vessels are
one of the latest and most Interesting
developments of Great Britain's ship
building drive. A fabricated ship Is
one whose component parts are manu
factured In other than shipbuilding
yards, usually In plants inland. The
new fabricated ship Is larger than
most of the standard ships and there
Is not a curved frame In It.
In fabrication of ships the aim was
to Increase speed of production and
also to utilize for shipbuilding pur
poses such plants as brldgc-hulldlng
yards and land engine factories.
It is expected that ships of the new
type soon will materially increase, the
tonnoge output.

The gTand climax of the year's les
sons thus fur Is reached In this one.
If the slgnllU'iinoe of the crucifixion Is
not apprehended, all the lessons thus
far are meonlngless. It l not a mat
ter of learning lessons tauclit by a
great teacher, or Imitating the exiiniplo
of n great and good mini, but of ap
prehending the vlcnrlnos atonement
made by the world's Redeemer. Christ
saves, not by his ethics, but by his
shed blood. Ills death was purposeful
and absolutely voluntary.
I. Jesus Arraigned Before Pilate (vv.
1-15).
In the early morning, after the mock
trial before the high priest, they bound
Jesus and delivered him to Pllnte.
They act freely In this according to
the evil desires of their own hearts.
II. Jetus Crowned With Thorns (vv.
16--20).
Knowing that Jesus had been con
demned for claiming to be Israel's
king, they In mockery crown him with
a wreath of thorns, and sulute him
"King of the Jews." Not only tills, but
they smote him on the head and spit
upon him and went through a process
of mock worship. The crown of thorns
typifies the curse which he bore for
man's sin.
III. Jesus Crucified (vv. 21-41).
1. Led away to the place of crucifix
ion vv. 21-23
At first they compelled him to bear
his own cross, but when physical weak
ness made this Impossible, they com-
I pelled Simon the Cyrenlan to bear It
for him. It Is beautiful to note that
the son of this Cyrenlan who bore the
cross of Jesus came to believe on him
(Romans 16:13). Because of the
! scourging and cruel Indignities heaped
upon him, they actually were obliged
to bear him to Golgotha. Bis face wus
marked by the thorns and cruel blows,
so that there was "no form or comeli
ness" (Isa. 63:2). All this he endured
for us.. He drank this bitter cup to Its
very dregs and refused to drink the
"wine mingled with myrrh," which
would have deadened his pain. lie
went all the way In his sufferings.
2. Gambling for the clothing of the
Lord (vv. 24, 25).
Having nailed him to the cross they
gambled for the seamless robe under
the very cross where he was dying, and
In their heartless cruelty they sat
down to watch him die (Matt. 27:30).
8. The superscription (v. 26).
' It was customary to place over the
victim on the Cross the name nnd
crime of the offender. Though Pilate,
did this In mockery to vex the Jews,
the title was absolutely true. He was
Indeed their King. They had long
looked for him, and now when he came
they crucified him, Though he wore a
crown oil thorns In derision, he will
come again wearing a crown of glory,
and before him all shall bow. God
hasten the dayl
4. Between two thieves (vv. 27, 28).
This added fo his shame. His Identi
fication with two robbers was the ful
fillment of the Scripture "Numbered
with the transgressors."
5. Tbe dying Savior reviled (w. 29
82). This reviling was engaged In by
Jie passers-by, the chief priests and
the thieves who were crucified with
him. In this nameless agony and
shame they taunted him by bidding
him come down from the cross, and de
risively saying, "He saved others, him
self he cannot save." They uncon
sciously uttered a great truth. He
could not save himself and others, so
he chose to die to save others. Halle
lujah, what a Saviour I
6. Darkness uoon the land (v. 33).
This was at noonday. 8o shocking
was this crime that nature threw
around the Son of God a shroud to hide
Mm from the gaze of a Godless com
pany. 7. Tbe cry from the Cross (w. 84
87). ...
What awful anguish when God laid
the world's sins upon his beloved Son I
When the price was fully paid. Jesus
dismissed his spirit No one took his
lite ; he gave it up. His death was un
like that of any other.
8. The rent veil (v. 88).
This symbolized the giving up of his
life (Heb. 10:20).
9. The centurion's confession (v. 89).
. 10. The lingering group of women
(w. 40, 41).
They who had lovingly ministered
to him in life Were waiting to see
where they could bury bis precious
body. .-
IV. Christ's Burial (w. 42-47).
Loving bands now take the precious
body and lay It In Joseph's new tomb.
This man who did not consent to the
foul treatment of the Lord now risks
his reputation, and by his action makes
a bold confession of the Lord, The
sinless Son of God Is placed in a new
tomb, ... -. !

Grim Humor In the Trenches by No

bitten by trench lice, thus contract
