The men who do the actual work are not imâ€" bued with the confidence of Von Tirâ€" pitz, and they also express contempt for the views of the German press on the efficacy of the Uâ€"boat weapon against Great Britain. Crews Know Force Opposing Them. Some of the crews, in the course © their depredations, have been able to get British newspapers showing hatch and was preparing to surrender when he was killed by a shell. The engineer and subâ€"lieutenant were the next on deck and the former was immediately wounded. The UCâ€" 80 was still making speed on the surâ€" face and the destroyer therefore conâ€" tinued to fire. Three of the crew jumped overboard and were drowned, while three others on the deck were killed by gunfire and several were wounded. Finally the destroyer hailed the UCâ€"39 through a megaphone to stop, and this being done, fire ceased and seventeen German survivors were taken off by the destroyer. Two Britâ€" ish prisoners were also rescued uninâ€" jured. less merchantmen and dived, but not soon enough, fof a depth charge shook her vitally, so that water pourâ€" ed into her conning tower and control room, causing a panic among the crew. The UCâ€"39 rose sharply to the surface, only to have the destroyer rake her fore and aft. Ehrentraut climbed out of the conning tower © shipping output of the AllMes, and in addition they know the strength of the forces against them, and what the CGerman public does not know, the number of Uâ€"boats which never reâ€" turn. The correspondent adds that he reâ€" cently saw a letter from a German soldier to the effect that even if a thousand submarines were available England would not be defeated, from which it would appear that the knowlâ€" edge of the limitations of the Uâ€" boats is not confined to the German navy. 1 her. The Ida stopped immediately, probably after the first round, but nevertheless the submarine continued firing under the personal orders of Otto Ehrentraut. When the gunâ€" layer saw that the ship had stopped and that he had obtained several hits he asked if he should cease firing. He was told by the captain to carry on. Some twentyâ€"five rounds in all were fired, the last few being at a range of 3,000 metres. When the German finally ceased fire one of the Ida‘s boats went alongside the submarine and reported that two wounded hadl been left on board the steamship. The subâ€"lieutenant and three men were sent on board her and found the mate and a steward dead on the deck, having been killed while in the act of lowering the boats. The Ida was then sunk by bombs. The two dead bodies had been left lying on the deck with less regard than is usually paid to the corpse of a dog. Two hours later the UCâ€"39 opened fire on a steamship and a trawler, but on diving lost them in the mist. About one o‘clock she came to the surface and opened fire on another steamship, but her fire was almost immediately answered from a British destroyer. Shattered by a Depth Charge. The UCâ€"39 had evidently met a sterner order of things than defenceâ€" According to the correspondent, the boat which carried out the attack was the UCâ€"39, a new mine laying subâ€" marine, commanded by Otta Ehrenâ€" traut, a personal friend of Prince Henry of Prussia, and a frequent visâ€" itor to the castle at Kiel, where he was a favorite.

Will you not help to hold our battle line, Will you not give the fullest of your powers, In sacrifice and service that is fine, That victory shall speedily be ours. A Few of the Many New Terms Addâ€" ed to Our Language. It is obviously impossible in limited space to mention more than a few of the more striking words which the war has given us, says an English writer. Let me begin with one in very common use, "camouflage." I cannot remember any instance of a foreign word so peculiarly unâ€"English as this not only being so rapidly and universally adopted but also being so rarely mispronounced. I still often overhear knots of men who in their talk about the war refer to the Kayâ€" ser, and the utter anglicization of French battle names by public house THE COINAGE OF WAR WORDS. From day to day, in big and little deeds, At bench, or lathe or desk or stretch of soil, You are the man your country sorely needs! 4 Will you not give to her your finest toil ? The men at home, the toiler in the shop, The keenâ€"eyed watcher on the spinâ€" ning drill Hear no command to vault the trench‘s top; They know not what it is to die or kill, And yet they must be brave and conâ€" stant, too, Upon them lies their precious counâ€" try‘s fate; * They also serve the Flag as soldiers do, "Tis theirs to make a nation‘s army great. You hold your country‘s honor in your care. Her glory you shall help to make or mar; For they, who now her uniform must wear l Can be no braver soldiers than you No war is won by cannon fire alone; The soldier bears the grim and dreary role; He dies to serve the Flag that he has known; His duty is to gain the distant goal, But if the toiler in his homeland fair Falter in faith and shrink from every test If he be not on duty ever, there; Lost to the cause is every soldier‘s PURGATIVE waATEeRr is the safeet, surest and most economical remedy for its cure.

The other day an officer was bidding goodâ€"bye to one of his men who had been awarded the D.C.M., and ~who had, in consequence, been granted ten days‘ leave.

The Scottish character is a comâ€" pound of vices and virtues in which "thrawnness" (Anglice "obstinacy‘) and modesty are strongly represented. "When they lagged," the sergeant said, "we drew our revolvers and shot them down. Out of 900 only 170 arâ€" rived at our destination. That is war. Our German principle is to get peace quickly, and we must wage war ruthâ€" lessly. Those are our orders." in which he and his companions had marched a large detachment of Britâ€" ish wounded through Germany. The captors were mounted, the prisoners afoot, trudging 25 to 30 miles a day. German Gloats Over Shooting of Wounded British Captives. Another account of German barbarâ€" ity to prisoners comes from Switzerâ€" land. _A neutral, formerly living in Berlin, met a sergeant in the German army who had seemed humane in the old days when he was a music teachâ€" er, but now gloated over the manner As was the case then, Queen Mary‘s bridesmaids are all alive toâ€"day, though not all in England.

While presents from public bodies will mostly be of this nature, it is probable that the Queen‘s bridesmaids will be permitted to give a personal gift. When King Edward and Queen Alexandra celebrated their silver wedding, the latter‘s attendants preâ€" sented their autographs, bound in a silver book, enshrined in a silver casâ€" ket of Danish work. The City of London, for instance, is raising funds which will be placed at their majesties‘ disposal for distriâ€" bution among various war charities, King George and Queen Mary Will Celebrate 25 Years of Married Life. The ninth year of King George‘s reign, which has just opened, will be marked by an event that has not ocâ€" curred for well over a centuryâ€"the celebration by a British monarch and his consort of their silver wedding while still on the throne, says a Lonâ€" don despatch. The anniversary falls in the middle of July, and although the war will necessarily interfere with the commemoration of the day, arâ€" rangements already are in progress to mark the completion of the quarâ€" ter century of married life. Perhaps the most notable slang phase that the war has produced is "to get the wind up," meaning to upâ€" set, or "rattle," or put the fear of God into. But I speak only from the point of the homekeeping observer, aware merely of such expressions as get into London parlance. Soldiers on active service no doubt could supply columns of new terms. Another French word which also gets its full value in the Angloâ€"Saxon mouth is "barrage"; but "barrage" has no general usage. The word "raid" is as old as the Scottish border, but will never again be employed, I imagine, except in association with attacks by air. At first we always said "air raid,"but now "raid" alone is sufficient. Should the enemy find any other way of hitting at the heart of us there will be another word than "raid" to describe his efforts. And to these I would add that early flower of Armageddon speech, "moratorium," which for a while most of us took to be the name of a new liner. military experts is perhaps the most charming feature of their discussions; but "camouflage" remains as French in sound in this country as in its own, and every one uses it. Here, howâ€" ever, it has become so elastic as to be the recognized term for any kind of pretence whatsoever. THE ROYAL SILVER WEDDING.
