We rise, we Iie down, and we move In the shadow of death. The ships have a thoueand eye: To mark where we come. . And the mirth of a seaport doles When our blow gets home. I was honored by a glimpse into this veiled life by a boat which was merely practising between trips. Sub- marines are like cats. They never tell whom they were with last night, and they sleep as much as they can It you board a submarine on duty you generally see a perspective of tore- shortened iattish men laid all along. The men say that except at certain times it is rather an easy life, with relaxed regulations about smoking. calculated to make a man put on ilesh. One requires well padded nerves. Many oi the men do not ap- pear on deck throughout the whole trip. After all, why should they it they don't want to? They know that they are responsible in their depart- ment for their comrades’ lives as their comrades are responsible for theirs. What's the use of napping about? Better lay in some magazines and cigarettes. When we set forth there had been some trouble in the fairway and a mined neutral, whose misfortune all bore with exemplary calm lay over on a sandbank near by. “Suppose there are more mines loose?" I asked. “We'll hope there aren't." was the soothing reply. “Mines are all Joss. You either hit ’em or you don't. And if you do they don’t always go off. They scrape alongside." “What’s the etiquette then?" “Shut Off both propellors and hope." We were dodging various crafts down the harbor when a squadron of trawlers came out on our beam, at that extravagant rate of speed which unlimited government coal always leads to. They were headed by an ugly, upstanding, black-sided brccan- eer with twelve pounders. ° “Ah! That's the King of the traw- lers. Isn't he carrying a dog, too! Give him room!” one said. We were all in the narrowed har- bor mouth together. “There's my youngest daughter. Take a look at her!" someone hum- med as a punctilious navy cap slid by on a very near bridge. “We'll fall in behind him. They're going over to the neutral. Then they’ll sweep. By the bye, did you hear about one of the passengers in the neutral yesterday. He was taken off, of course, by a destroyer and the only thing he said was: “Twenty-five time I 'ave insured, but not this time. 'Ang it!" v i i It may have been so, but 1 was more .interested in the faces, and above all the eyes, all down the length of her. It was to them, of course. the simplest of manoeuvres. They dropped into gear as no machine could; but the training of years and the experience of the year leaped up behind those steady eyes under the electrics in the shadow of the tall motors. between the pipes and the curved hull, or glued to their particular guages. One for-1 got the bodies altogetherâ€"but one 'will never forget the eyes or the en- nobled faces. One man I remember in particular. On deck his was no ' more than a grave. rather striking ‘ countenance. cast in the unmistakable * petty officer‘s mould. Below as I saw him in profile in charge of a vital con- trol, he looked like a Dodge of Venice; the prior of some hardly- ruled monastic order; an old-time Pipeâ€"anything that signified trained and stored intellectual power utterly and asceticaliy devoted to some vast impersonal end.

The men on the little deck looked across at the slow-moving silhouette. ()ne of them, a cigarette behind his ear. smiled at a companion. Then we went downâ€"not as they go down when they are pressed (the record I believe is fifty feet in fifty seconds from top to boztom) but genteelly to an orchestra of appro- pmte sounds. roarings, and blowings, snd after the orders, which come from the commander alone, utter silence and peace. -.

Up we rose; the wet air and spray spattered through the hatch. 'l‘he destroyer swung off to retrieve the dummy. ’ ‘ -1- “Careless brutes destroyers are,” said one officer. “That fellow nearly walked over us just. now. Did you notice?" The commander was playing his game out over againâ€"stroke by stroke. “With a beam tube I'd h" strafed him amidships,” he concluded. "Why didn't you then?" I asked. There were several excellent rea- sons which reminded me that we were at war and cleared for action, and that the interlude had been mere- ly play. A companion rose alongside and wanted to know whether we had seen anything of her dummy. “No. 'But Vwe heard it,” 'was the short. answer. I was rather annoyed because I had seen that particular daughter of destruction in the stocks only a short time ago and here she was grown up and talking about her missing c};ildren! In the harbor again, one found more of them, all patterns and makes and sizes, with rumors of yet more and larger to follow. Naturally their men 59.37 that we are only at the beginning of the sulnnarine. We shall have them presently for all purposes. Now" here is the mystery of the ser- vice. A man gets a boat which for two years become-es his very self. “is His With him is a second in command. a cox, an engineer and some others. They prove each others’ souls habitu- ally, every few days, by the direct test of peril, till they act, think and endure as a unit, in and with the boat. That commander is transferred to another boat. He tries to take with him if he can, which he can’t, as many of his other selves as possible. He pitches into a new type twice the size of the old one with three times as many gadgets. an unexplored tempera- ment and unknown leanings. After his ‘ first trip, he comes back clamoring for the head of her constructor, of his own second in command, his cum gineer, his cox. and a few other rat? lngs. They for their part wish him dead on the beach, because last com- mission with So-and-So, nothing ever went wrong anywhere. A fortnight later you can remind the commander of what he said. and he will smile large, wide navy smiles. She's not, he says, so very badâ€"«things consider- ed, barring her five-ton torpedo- :lerricks, the abomination of her wire- ess, and the tropical temperature of her beer-lockers. All of which signi. ties that the new boat has found her soul, and her commander would not change her for battle cruisers. There- fore, that he may remember he is the service and not a branch of it he is after certain years shifted to a battle cruiser, where he lives in a blaze of admirals and aiguilettes, responsible for vast decks and cathedral‘like flats, a student of extended above water tactics, thinking in tens of thousands of yards instead of his modest but deadly three to twelve hundred. And the man who takes his place straightway forgets that he ever look- ed down on great rollers from a sixty- loot bridge under the whole breadth of Heaven, but crawls and climbs and lives down conning towers with those same waves wet on his heels, and when the cruisers pass him tearing the deep open in half a gale, thanks God he is not as they are and goes to bed beneath their distracted keels. For it is written: "How in all time of our distress And in triumph too, The game is more than the player of the game And the ship more than the crew.” “But submarine work is cold-blood- ed business.” (This was at a little conference in a green curtained “wardroom” cum owner’s cabin.) “Then there‘s no truth in the yarn that you can feel when the torpedo’s going to get home?" I naked. he old practices when the destroy- v-alked circumspectly. We dived “Not a word. You see it gets home or missed as the case may be. Of :ourse, it’s never your fault it it misses. It’s all your second in com- mand." ' “That’s true too," said the second. “I catch it all round. That‘s what I um here for.” ' “And What about the third man?" There was one aboard at the time. He generally comes from a smaller boatâ€"to pick up real work If he can suppress his intellect and doesn’t talk "last commission.” The third hand promptly denied the possession of any intellect, and was quite dumb about his last boat “And the men?" “And the men?" “They train on too. They train each other. Yes, one gets to know 'em about as well as they get to know us. Up topside a man can take up inâ€" take himself lnâ€"tor months, for half the commission perhaps.

One. of our hosts came up slap underneath! a low Zepp. ‘Looked tor the sky, you‘ know, and couldn’t see anything ex- cept this fat shining belly almost on top of ’em. Luckily it wasn’t the Zepp's stingin’ end. So she went to windward and kept just awash. There was a bit of a sea and the Zepp had to work against the wind. (They- don't like that.) Our boat sent a man to the gun. He was pretty well, drowned, of course, but he hung on.; and held his breath and got in shots, where he could. The Zepp was straf- . ing bombs about for all she was worth, ' andâ€"who was it?â€"Macartney I: think, was shifting and heaving at the 1 quickflrer between dives and natur-l ally everyone wanted to look at the‘ performance so about a quarter of a ton of water flopped down below and; â€"oh, they had 3 Charlie Chaplin time; of it! Well, somehow Macartney ’managed to rip the Zepp a bit and she went to leeward with a list on her. We saw her a fortnight later with a patch on her port side. Oh. if Fritz only fought clean there wouldn't be half a bad show. But Fritz can’t fight clean." t “And we can't do what he doesâ€" even if we were allowed to," one said. “No, we can't. 'Tisn’t done. That’s all. We have fo fish Fritz out of the water, and we dry him and dust him and give him cocktails and send him to Donnington Hall}? “And what does Fritz do?" “He splutters and clicks and bows. He has all the correct motions, you know, but. of course, when he's a prisoner you can't tell him what he really is.” “And do you suppose Fritz under- stand! any of it?" I asked. “No. Or he wouldn't have Lusitaniaed. and then he wouldn’t have been Fritz. This war was his first chance of mak- lng his name, and chucked it all away for the sake of showln’ off as a silly ass of a Gottstrater." And then they talked of that hour of the night when submarines come to the top like mermaids to get and give information; of boats whose busi- ness it is to fire as much and to Splash about as aggressively as possible; and of other boats who avoid any sort of displayâ€"dumb boats watching and re- lieving watch, with their periscopes just showing like a crocodile’s eyes. at the back of islands and the mouths of channels where something may some day move out in procession to its doom. A remarkable discovery has just been made by a famous continental doctor. It is that every twenty-third or twenty-eighth day is a critical day in a person’s life. The unaccountable “bad" days, days of irritation, idle- ness and pessimism are simply one’s critical days, according to this scien- tist. He found it out by noticing that babies usually have a bad time of it on the twenty-third or twenty-eighth day after birth, or some multiple of those numbers as the forty-sixth or fifty-shah day. Teething, he says, usually begins on a “bad” day. Epilep- tics have more violent fits on that day; colds, neuralgia, bad attacks of insomnia. and a dozen other ailments are more likely to start on one of the twenty-third days than on any of the others. V The beautiful tints of autumn leaves ' o are due to the lack of sap, and to 2119 chemical action that takes place in ' O the leaf as a result. No botanist has E .. been able to explain, however, why: in two trees of the same age and the same conditions of growth the leaves of one should turn red and those of tc the other yellow. There are, indeed, sometimes two tints on the same tree. and the cause for this is also a poser to the scientist. As a rule, weeds and wild shrubs display the most gor- geous hues, but the most beautiful autumn foliage is found in countries where the air is dry. That is why the j forests of Canada are the most beau- '11 tiful in all the world when autumn 0 comes round. ' {I Harold's bridge, said to be the old- est bridge in England. is in Surrey. It consists of a single arch of sand- stone surnxmnting stone foundations, and spans a little stream. Across this bridge King Harold is said to have been borne to his grave in the abbey churchyard after having been slain by an arrow at the battle of Hastings in 1066. The sides of the arch have crumbled away, but the central por- tion is intact and seemingly as se- cure as it was when constructed more than 850 years ago. The bridge is not In use to-day, but stands in a pasture adjoining the grounds of the ancient abbey. ()ne of the marked features of the European conflict that distinguishes it from the wars of the past is the absence of smoke on the firing lines. ()wing to the use of smokeless pow- der. no smoke is made when a rifle ls discharged, while the heaviest ar- tillery throws off nothing more than a thin mist that is invisible a hun- dred yards away and disappears with- in a few seconds after the gun is fired. Only when shrapnel or a shell ex- plodes in the enemy's lines is there anything visible in the way of smoke. “Clown” Prince Rage Wan“ A Dutchman who has returned from a short stay in South Germany, any: that. asking the opinion which the soldiers entertained towards the (‘rown Prince, the wounded answered: “Nobody could stand thtt horrible man with his everlasting smile."
