Divorced from tl^e chase, he has taken to the plow, after many misgivings, and what ten years ago was a fast-dwindling race is once more commencing to multiply. Id Ontario, In the West and In Que- bec, where ' virtually all the 106,000 Indians, wards of the Canadian gov- ernment, reside, there has been a steady Increase In the cultivation of the reserves until now the tribesman is commencing to take a real Interest In agriculture. An Indian was the runner-up in the provincial plowing match in Ontario last year, holds an executive office In the Ontario Plow- man's Association and may be the provincial champion next year. It Is Just forty-three years since the Indians of the West entered Into a treaty with the government and start- ed to lay aside the tomahawk. Last year the,y raised 1,000,000 bushels ot grain. They seeded 64.634 acres of wheat, an Increase ot 2,385 acres. Six thousaud acres of new land was broken and 30,000 acres were summer tallowed. The Indians also are going In for mixed farming. Two carloads ot steers from the Duck Lake reserve won the first prize at the Moose Jaw show last tall In open competltllon with the rest of Saskatchewan. From their cattle sales alone the 36,000 In- dians In the West realized ?100,000 In 1927.

U-Boat Rescue Laid To Suicide Effort German ^cteran Says At- tempt to End Lives by Firing Torpedoes Sent Craft Upward Nine of Crew of 37 Lived TTiey Were Imprisoned for Forty-four Hours 450 Feet Down in Bristol Chan- nel in 1918. He Says In connection with the discussion on submarines and their seaworthi- ness, revived In the German press by tho loss of the S-4 with forty men off Provlncetown, Mass., on Dec. 17, the Munchner Neueste Nachrlchten print- ed an Interview with Paul Ordtolf, a veteran German submarine sailor who served through the World War. Ord- tolf, after giving bis views on the pos- sibility of rescuing the crews of sunk- en submarines, told the following as tho story of bis worst experience nt sea: - â€" "On Sept. 20, 1918, in the U-B 86. we attacked a convoy ot merchantmen off the west coast of England at the entrance to the Bristol Channel. .Af- ter torpedoing the first steamer, the commandant tried to dive under the ship, aa was the custom, in order to conceal traces o( the U-boat. "Then either we were pulled down by the suction of the sinking vessel or else the vessel Itself pushed us to- ward the bottom. At any rate, our depth manometer fell with fearful speed to 100 meters. The depth re- gister was only set to record that much, but the chart showed a depth ot 144 meters (about 460 feet). Pressure of Fourteen Atmospheres. "The grating and the sharp bapging on the outside ot the boat Indicated that we were lying on a rocky bottom. There was plenty of electric power on hand, as we had dived only a short while before. The diving tanks seem- ed to be damaged. Water trickled through all the rivets and plates, but the boat's sides stood up under the frightful pressure of fourteen atmos- pheres, r Our first task was to trim the boat, which had landed on the bottom with her bow down. This was done easily enough, but all our attempts to empty the diving tanks by air pressure and thus make the boat rise were In vain. The submarine did not move. Our store of compressed air was soon ex- hausted and with It all prospects of rescue. "There were thirty-seven of us. Af- ter twenty hours the air was thick enough to be cut with a knife, despite the fact that we had cleared It every once In a while with our amitoules of chlorate of potassium and had drawn upon our store of oxygen. Breathing became more difficult every minute. We were crushed down by a horrified feeling of lassitude. "After twenty-eight hours some of the men fainted. After thirty-two hours the first death occurred. Apa- thetic, we lay around hardly able to move. Our panting lungs could get only sticky, foul air. Four Dead After ThIrty-sIx Hours. "After thirty-four hours 4he second man died. Then It went faster. The commandant, Captein Lieutenant Hu- bsch, died, followed soon by the tor- pedo gunner forward. That made four dead at the end of thirty six hours. "Despair gripped us. We lay around groaning and eoughing, and many ot the men became Insistent in their plea: 'Kill us with a bullet!' "Once more I tried to use the blow- pipe for clearing the air, but my feeble arms refused to function. Pain- fully the hours dragged on. We knew forty-two bad passed. jA.ll hope hatl vanished. "The torpedo mate asked me to go forward with him, saying, 'If we have to die anyway, let's end It right now by letting loose the torpedoes.' Two firemen dragged themselves along with us forward. With immense dif- ficulty we began to unscrew the cover ot a torpedo tube, so as to flood the torpedo. We had been taught that un- der the pressure ot three atmospheres from the outside, i.e., at a depth of thirty meters, the torj^oes would explode ot themselves. "We lay waiting for the detonation that would end our sufferings. It did not come. A dud? It took us nearly an hour, with enfeebled limbs and fighting for breath, to remove the cover of the second tube. The same sinister silence. "Now we know that even under a water pressure ot fourteen atmos- pheres the torpedoes did not explode. With a vague glimmer ot hope we un- screwed the covers Of the two other forward torpedo tubes. I crawled back to the .firing control, the torpedo mate behind me. Simultaneously we pressed the four buttons ot the elec- tric firing apparatus. Were there rocks near the boat that would be bound to make the torpedoee go off? Boat Begins to RIae.

But, relieved of the weight of the torpedoes, the boat be- gail to rise by the head. Soon It stood upright, with the bow upper- most. Our attempts to pump water from the after ballast tanks Into the forward tanks, and thus bring the boat on an even keel, failed, as the^ pumps would not take hold. "But the fact that the boat had moved revived our spirits. There re- mained only one last desperate thing to do â€" to fire the after torpedo, f'rom the position of the boat it ought to strike the rocky bottom. And then %1I would be over. "For forty-four hours we had lain penned In on the bottom at that fear- ful depth when the after torpedo was made ready and I pressed the button of the electric flrer. It was awesome- ly still. There was no explosion after the shot. No one will ever be able to say If the torpedo's course was de- flected toward the surface by ItiB own force or If we were no longer on the bottom ot the sea. "We waited. Then suddenly a man shrieked, 'Forty meters!' and we all glued our eyes to the depth regiats.-. Slowly the boat rose. At fifteen meters we saw clear, green water through the heavy panes of glass. Suddenly It became quite clear. I tried to unscrew the hatch. But my strength was gone. Two others help- ed me. Fresh Air Like Liquid ^re. "The first breath of fresh air was like liquid fire in mouths and throats for hours unaccustomed to oxygen. I had a vague feeling of being saved when I fell Into a deep faint from which I awoke after four hours. Of the thirty-seven members ot the crew, only nine were alive. "The hull of the boat was battered like a can pounded aimlessly with a hammer. The diving rudder was wrecked, and there was no possibility of diving again. But we were breath- ing fresh air once more! "We nine held loyally together. As the oldest in the service, I took com- mand. In nine days we managed to sail on the surface around Ireland be- tween the Shetland and the Orkney Isles, through three lines of English picket ships, and reach Bergen, Nor- way. The fresh water in the tanks had got badly mixed with sea water. Our main food stores had got damp and inedible. Bread was all we had enough of. In Bergen, with the aid of the Ger- man Consul, we obtained food. In leaving we shook off, under cover ot darkness, an English warship, prob- ably informed through the EngHsh espionage service. The next morning we were able to establish radio con- nection with Norddelch, and near the scene of the battle ot Skagerrak we were taken in charge by a flotilla ot German destroyers sent out to n\eet us and safely convoyed to our home port ot Kiel.
