! I i . I FIFTEEN DAYS IN A GERMAN SUB ^» • • « TJ-BOAT CAPTIVE TELLS OF A ^ THRILLING EXPERIENCE. Depth dwrges Are the Terror of Sub Crews. Sayi C«pt«in of Brituh Merchant Vessel. A thrilling story of fifteen days •pent in a German submarine, during which time the U-boat attacked sev- eral allied vessels and was in turn attacked by allied destroyers, which dropped depth charges threatening her destruction, was told by the cap- tain of a Britijih merchant vessel who ^has just been released from a German 'prison camp. "My second ship was torpedoed I without warning," he said. "The force of the explosion was so great that the bridge was wrecked and when I recovered from the shock I found the ship was sinking. None of the crew was injured; we were all able to get away in the boats. Ae we were I in British waters and it was broad I daylight, I did not fear but that we iwould soon reach land, but hardly had jwe pulled clear of the sinking ship 'than the U-boat emerged. Life Aboard U-Boat. "The commander summoned us to his vessel and ordered me to go on board. After asking for details of my ship and cargo he told me to consider myself a prisoner and sent the boats away. I was at once taken below and the vessel dived. "I had arrived just in time for the (midday meal â€" stew with stringy I meat, which was probably horseflesh, I supplemented by small portions of sausage, with black bread. This bread, as the voyage progressed, became mil- dewe<l and uneatable, and then some bread of lighter color, which had been kept in a hermetically sealed recep- tacle, was served out, but was even more unpalatable than the black bread. "The other meals were breakfast and supper, at which coffee, made of burne<l barley and acorns, was served. The commander and officers of the U-boat fared the same as the lower ratings, but were able to supplement their allowances with tinned ham, etc. "Life on board the submarine was by no means pleasant. Forced as we were to keep below the surface to avoid the British war vessel.s, the boat sweated and all spare clothing became saturated with moisture, while the atmosphere often became very foul and breathing difficult. While we were below the sJrface the crew would switch on a talking ma- chine. It was the band which played triumphantly when the U-boat got a victim. The sinking of an innocent merchantman gave that crew as much joy as if they had .sunk a war vessel. ESfect of Depth Charge. "While I was on board we had 'vic- tory music' on seven occasions, for six steamers were torpedoed and one sailing vessel sunk by gunfire, thirty- nine shells being necessary to do this. The U-boat alSo attacked several other steamers by gunfire during the voyage, but had to submerge owing to the inteiventioii of British war ves- eel. "On the third day, just after the midday meal, I gathered that the U- boat was about to carry out an attack on a convoy which had been sighted. The boat approached under water for some distance and torpedoed a large steamer. Our whereabouts were evi- dently detected (I was told) by a light cruiser, for we dived rapidly to a great depth. Hardly had the boat got on an even keel when we heard a tremendous explosion, which made the III Take POSTUM! â€" you hear it more and more when one is asked what he'll have for his morn- ini^ drink.

"The effect on the crew was evi- dent. .\11 stood trembling, with faces blanched with fear, not attempting to speak a word, expecting a second charge, the result of which might be the destruction of the boat without the slightest chance of e.scape. There is no doubt as to the htate of that crew, for it was not their flrst ex- perience of a depth charge, and they had learned from others in the ser- vice what awful weapons they were in the hands of skilled seamen. For some minutes we waited; engines were stopped and all measures were ' taken to prevent giving away our ' position. Torpedoed an Oil Tanker. "Minutes seem like hours in such a situation. I must admit that I was turning over in my mind whether I should ever see my family again. No further explosions, however, took place, and after lying some eighteen fathoms deep for a long time we con- tinued on our voyage. "Late the following night there was considerable rejoicing in the sub- marine and the talking machine's liveliest tunes were played. The Ger- mans had torpedoed an oil tanker, which, according to the commander, had sunk in thirty seconds. I could not help wondering at the makeup of men who could rejoice at such a thing, knowing that without giving them the slightest chance of defending them- selves or escaping they had sent the I sailors to their death. The next day ! we seemed to have got out of the ! track of steamships and 1 went into the conning tower and saw the offi- cers amusing themselves by shooting at gulls or at em.pty bottles. "Eventually the submarine arrived at Heligoland, and I was taken ashore and handed over to a military guard, mostly composed of Alsatians. My only food was a crust of bread and a piece of cheese and some very weak soup composed mainly of vegetables. I .A.fter remaining there a day and a I half I was taken to Wilhelmshaven, I where again there seemed to be a j shortage of food, and afterward to I Brandenburg, a workingmen's camp, ; including all nationalities. j "On Boxing Day I was transferred [ to Switzerland, and eventually was released and 'enabled to reach Eng- land." _ ,> CANADA'S PAPER INDU.^TRY Consumption of Pulp in the Dominion Has Increased Rapidly. The pulp and paper industry has expanded very rapidly in Canada during the past ten years, and it ap- pears that Canada is destined to be- come perhaps the leading country in the world in the manufacture of pulp and paper products from wood. This is largely because of our extensive natural resources of waterpowers and suitable tree species. It is important to point out the opportunities and responsibilities for Canadian engin- eers in this technical indu.stry. The consumption of ,)aper increases so rapidly from yeai to year in the more higlily developed ountries that there is no indication of slackening de- velopment, at least for some years to come. Canada now has a total of about 90 mills, many of which are large and of modern deesign. The export figures for the calendar year Hill) show that pulpwood, wood pulp and paper have increased to nearly half of the total export value (ap- proximately $100,000,000) of all for- est products with the exception of the small proportion of specially manu- factured articles. The softwoods are the most im- portant species for papermaking, spruce and balsam fir acounting for the bulk of the woods used, with hem- lock, jack pine, tamrack and other conifers coming into nioi'e extensive use. Poplar and basswood represent- ing "soft hardwoods' arc valuable for making soda pulp and a variety of hardwoods such as birch and maple are used in smaller quantity. In 191."), the total reported pi'lpwood consumption amounted to 1,405.836 cords with an average value of $6.71 per cord. In addition. Canada ex- ported 949,714 cords of pulpwood, which quantity has remained fairly constant for several years, while the consumption of pulpwood in Canada has rapidly increased.

Save the Sugar. Save the waste. 12,000,000 cups of tea, coffee and cocoa are used daily in Canada. If even an average of half a tea- spoonful of sugar per cup is left un- dissolved at the bottom of cups of these beverages the waste would be 120,000 lbs. of sugar daily. . Use no more sugar than you need and stir your l)everage until tho sugar is entirely dissolved. It is estimated that about one-third of all sugars used in the homes is used in tea and coffee.

Saw-mill waste amounts to about 40 per cent, of the original tree. The finished lumber, on the average, rep- resents only from 30 to 35 per cent, of the tree. New developments in the utilization of wood waste are be- ing made continually, but it is false economy to handle waste unless the by-products industries can be carried ' on at a profit. Effective utilization â-  calls for a variety of chemical and mechanical processes which must be adapted to the form, species and quantity of wood waste available at any point. Slabs, edgings and trim- mings represent 15 to 17 per cent, of the tree. Among the more common uses are fuel, laths, box shooks, small slack cooperage, small wooden articles, kraft and sulphite pulp, excelsior, wood flour, wood wool and proilucer gas. Sawdust accounts for another 11 per cent., and is used to .some ex- ; tent for fuel, producer gas. briquettes, polishing metals, insulating, packing, bedding in stables, floor sweeping compounds, composition flooring blocks linoleum, improving clay soils, smoking meat and fish, blasting powd- ers, wood flour, plastics, porous bricks, mixing with mortar and concrete, dis- tillation, ethyl alcohol, oxalic acid and carborundum. Bark amounts to about 10 per cent, of the tree. It, is usually used for fuel, although hemlock and oak barks are important in the tann- ing industry. A recent development is tlic use of spent hemlock bark for mixing to the extent of about 30 per cent, with rag stock in the manufac- ture of roofing felts. Experiments on its use in wall board. Indurated i pails, conduits and wall paper give i j promise of success. In the manufac- â-  turc of special wood products a good . deal of wood is lost, during seasoning, by decay due to poor methods of stor- | j age, and also by warping and splitt- 1 ing. There is a large waste in con- 1 I verting wood into the desired shape for the finished article. Pi'oper eo- ; â- ordination with plants making small; I wooden articles brings about a great economy of material. Shavings find ! use as fuel and to some extent for , packing, bedding, drying wet land and j manufacturing fibre board. Beech- ' wood shavings are required in large j quantity by vinegar factories, but this j I is another case where specially cut ' wood is usually used instead of rely- ing on by-product wood from various* plants.
