Great Kent Splendidly Carried Out
Tho pasengo of tho American army
.transports through the U-loat zone
without tho loss of a man Is a really
remarkable feat of wain Whethor or
not spies had communicated with Ber
lin I'm not ho ovorwholmlngly Import
ant Jn connection with tho main fact.
It may bo takon for granted that tho
spies do havo sonio means of com
munication with tho kalsor'fl loadorh,
and that they may ovon havo ways of
gathorlng secret Information on this
BlUlo. But It would do our own Intelli
gence llttlo credit did wo not also ad
mit that tho Gorman loodors are alert
nnd watchful at all tlmos.
Thoy had hndl amplo notice of the
Intontlon of tho United States to dls-
patoli an army to Europo, and the least
wVi couMi oxpoct was that tho sea
lanoa would bo haunted by subma
irjnos, cagorly looking for Ynnkeo
transports: Tho presonco of thoso tor
rorls of tho sea Car wost of their cus
tomary zones of oporatlon was ro
portod, long ago. It was not surpris
ing, thoroforo, that thoy woro encoun
tered by tho transports nnd their con
voy. Plans laid by our own loaders
woro bo comploto that at least two
attacks woro successfully met, and
tho Boutionu of tho groat (loot mndo
tholr way through tho utmost porll
without tho loss of a man, exacting
lidwlovor, at loast ono U-boat as a toll
from tho Germans.
It would bo difficult to exaggerate
tho full lmportanco of this splendid
font, but oxtravaganco of languago can
add llttlo to tho sunplo stateinont of
Us accomplishment. Oottlng armed
forces to Euiropo Is u task of first mng
nltudo, prosontlng prohloms not un
derstood by tho layman, but tho ability
of our army and navy has Its first test

That shotguns should bu largely uti
lized In modern Warfare Is the conten.
tlon of a number of military experts.
It is pointed out that Hueh guns would
Ihj particularly useful to sentries ut
night time, as an Intruder might more
easily bo crippled and captured by n
spreading chargo of heavy shot than by
n single bullet. Moreover, a person
moving quickly might often bo missed
by a shot from a rifle, whoreas a snap
shot from n shotgun In semldaikness
could hardly fall to find Us object.
In tho trenches shotguns could bo
used with buccors. A shotgun loaded
with about forty-eight grains of pow
dor and one and a half ounces of big
shot, with about twenty-tiro pollots,
would bo of much more ralue thim tho
rifle, as during n night attack, either
for attack or defense In sonildurknoss,
n single chargo would hardly fall to in
flict serious wounds on ono or moro of
tho enemy. Exchange.

His First Golf Play. -II.
Chandler Egan's first golf was
played on a threo liolo course In a
pasturo back of his father's house, at
Highland Park, 111. Tho former cham
pion nnd bin brother laid out the links,
then inrltcd their cousin, Walter, to
toach them tho game. Tho latter tee
ing up a ball on tho first, lilt it straight
down to tho broomstick which serrcd
as a flag pole. The bnll bounced along
tho uneven green nnd disappeared In
the hole. Turning to his astonished
gallery, ho remarked :
"There, you see, It Is very simple.
That Is tho way you do It.-"
Chandler Egan tried, but didn't buc

tltlo twice, ho claims ho was never
able to equal tho wonderful drive his

In 1805 a few enthusiastic "horseless,

I went into Charnley's for lunch th
other day, nnd whllo I was eating
Fred Bemerton eamo In, and I ngkel
him to sit- down nt tho table with me.
Ho did so, and I congratulated him on
his engagement, of which I had heard
somo time before. He didn't look like
n man who had Just been made happy
by a girl, but I reckoned he had passed
out of tho seventh heaven stage and
was wondering how ho was going to
support n wife cn n salary that ho had
been spending entirely on himself.
"It's all off," ho said snappishly.
"What's tho trouble?" I asked.
"See here, Jim; I've had all I want
of girls. They hnvo no sense of honor
Hindi us n man has. Fact is- there's
nothing mnnly I menu noble In 'em
nt nil. Nothing a girl likes so much
as to got n fellow by tho ear and play
him for n fool. That's what Mottle
wanted with me."
"You haven't yet got to tho cnuse of
the breach."
"Well, Molly and I wcro out nt a
dance. I put my name on her curd
for every altemato dance, leaving her
n dance with some ono elso for every
dance with me. That was about right,
wasn't It? Sho objected. I told her I ,
thought ono In two was enough for
tho other fellows, and she said she
thought that If she danced with me ,
two or threo times during tho evening
It would bo enough for me. I told her
that If that was nil I was to got I'd
go without any. And I scratched my
nnmo off her enrd entirely. Do you
know, tho girl filled her card without
my nnmo being ou it and was tho mer
riest girl in tho room."
"Very unfemlnlno."
"You mean very detestable."
"What did you do next?"
"Why, I left before tho danco wns
finished nnd left her to go homo with
somo ono of tho fellows sho had pre
ferred to me."
"Oh, you did?"
"You bet I dldl"
"You had taken her to tho dance,
hadn't you?"
"Yes."
"What did sho do next?"
"Nothing."
"And you?"
"I wroto her n noto saying that if
every other fellow had as much right
to danco with her us I we'd bettor call
It off."
"And sho?" ;
"Sho hnsn't deigned to send mo a re
ply." "Very unfemlnlne.". -
"Jim," ho snld, bristling, "that's tho
second tlmo you'vo used that expres
sion. I'd llko to know what you mean
by It."
"I havo used It ironlcnlly, Fr6l."
"Ironically?"
"Yes. Tho girl acted llko a girl.
You acted llko n ninny."
Now, ho know very well that ho had
mado n guy of himself, nnd when I
boro witness to tho fact Instead of got
tlng up on his ear ho collapsed. Ho
didn't say a word for awhile, but ho
looked llko a man who had committed
a crlmo nnd had Just realized that tho
heavens wero nbout to fall on hlra.
His first words were:
"I'vo knocked tho bottom out of tho
universe."
"Oh, no, you haven't"
"You don't think bo?" eagerly and
with a beam of hope.
"No."
"What Bhiill I do?"
"Tako a back track ns quick ns you
can."
"How?"
"Go to hor nnd nsk her pardon. Toll
her that you'vo mado an ass of your
self and will nover do so nuy moro."
"I think I'd rather write it."
"NonscnBo. Faco tho music llko n ,
man. Writing would only Bhow half
hearted repentance Speech 1b hotter,
than Ink any tlmo nnd In such cases
la luflnltoly hotter. What's written
is capable of various interpretations.
In speaking ono has tho ndvantngo of
looking his meaning. In writing there
to no expression of any kind."
"But Biipposo Bbo won't seo mo?"
"Hang ou till she does."
- "And suppose sho sees mo, but turns
mo down?"
"Hnng on all the tighter."
IIo sat deliberating. Presently ho
looked up ut mo ami said:
"Jim, I would rather nttnek a forti
fication single handed. Is thoro no
othor way out of It?"
"Thero wouldn't bo for mo If I wero
In your plnco."
Anothor soason of scrowlng up of
courage, nnd ho roso from his sent,
took his hat and snld:
"Goodby, Jim. If I fall look for
my body in tho cunal."
"Goodby, Fred. I know Just how
you feel! I'vo boon thoro myself."
"Acted llko a chump?"
"No; llko an lnobrlatcd donkey."
Tho sumo evening tho following tele
phono dialogue took plnco botween him
and mo:
Fred (in gleeful voice) It's ull right.
Jim Aro you forgiven?
Frod You bet.
Jim Did Bho. Bay that you had acted
llko a untural born idiot?
Fred No; sho said I'd been a naughty
boy.
Jim Then your body is not In tho
cnunl?
