New York World. About four thousand Socialists were i ma rehire on Kiltli Avenue last night toward Carnegie Hall to celebrate tbc Socialist involution in 'Jrnnaiiv when at 45th street four of them, waving red raas above their land*, shouted.

The parnders swarmed about the transport men. Tin- male marchers punched and kicked at tlniu; the- women "coinindes" screamed and ton at the soldiers' hair and clothing. There were a hundred Reds trying to get at the soldiers. Hut the transport men battered their way out of the circle. Just as there was a cry of: "Here we come fellows:" and three hluojAi kcts from the Navy Yard cut into the frav. bent on the rescue of the Army men. . That was the beginning of u not that extended tip Fifth Avenue to 57th Street and across that thoroughfare to the doom of Carnegie Hull. Soldiers and Sailors seemed to spring front everywhere. They commandeered automobile* going northward alone the avenue. anil tvhi'iiever thi'.v saw a man in khaki or in blue they would yell: "Hoy, folia'" or "Il? y, shlpmalo! Count on! Down with thoso dirty rod fines!" Thoro were hundreds of soldiers and sailors Katlirnil in no time.

At 4*th Street, a lone bluejacket was knoeked down and surrounded by three paraders, who apparently were about to kick him when a young Second Lieutenant whipped off his topcoat, handed it to the plrl he was walking with, and wont to the sailor's aid. From the vantage |K>int of a hurriedly chartered taxi a reporter for The World, who was following the meh e, saw one of the prettiest boxing exhibitions he ever had beheld outside a ring. The slender young officer made just six moves?two for each of the three I teds. First he feinted with bis right for the body and broueht down the hands of his opponents. Tin n ho shot over a swift, wicked left hook to the jaw. Kach of the three got the same treatment?and went down. The Lieutenant picked up the sailor, saw he wasn't hurt, snapped hack a salute in return for the bluejacket's thanks and went placidly on his way with the girl.

Here ami there civilians joined with tho soldiers and sailors, hut mostly they kept away, realizing that the uniformed men were currying out their self-appointed Job in thorough fashIon. From motor ears and from the to|? of houses men and women shouted encouragement to the service lads. leaders of the Socialists, in the middle of the turmoil, ran up and down the linos shouting for their followers to . lower their tlags and conceal them: r but by this time there were not a great many left. When the procession turned into 5?th street only a couple of flags in each block were to bo observed, and these were hastily hidden when a uniformed man appeared. There was many a Red nursing memoirs of the conflict, however. Hero ami there along the avenue was a patroilmnn. but they, like the civilians, kept away from the muss. There was only one arrest. Harry Flare, eighteen, of No. 2.r>5 West 19th Street, was taken into custody on the complaint of Socialist Assemblyman August Classens, charged with disorderly conduct, in having torn flags from the hands of women marchers. ?nen nt> was kiki'u nfiixv trate McQuade. In the North Court, a hundred or more soldiers and sailors followed the act as witness for him. If necessary. After Classens ami some Socialists had told of the hoy's tearing the flags.

A HUGE SEA MONSTER. >d Landed After a Struggle of Two Daya a and Nights. r B_ The following is taken from the Tampa Daily Times: Uj I rimii^u uii* tininrpj vi mc n iu? ^ World Magazine. Captain Thompson is permitted to publish the artist's t_ donception of his thrilling: battle with the deep sea monster, which lasted ? for two days and a night and which was the most nerve-racking experience | that ever befell mariner or sportsman. In the terrible ordeal which followed. >6 Captain Thompson lost sixteen pounds of weight tts a result of the terrific strain and was near complete cxhaustlon before his capture was safely h landed. The creature's enormous strength was evidenced by the fact that it knocked the stern, rudder and propeller off a thirty-one ton yacht while in a dying condition. It also knocked 16 feet of temporary piling from undernenth the trestle of the lr [o Florida Bast Coast railway at Knights Key, Ha. These facts are authentic ;r j. and can be verified. The monster was forty-five feet long and weighed thirty thousand pounds. Its liver alone weighed 1,700 pounds, * or more than ten full grown men put together. ^ It is twenty-three feet around tho body and Its tail measured ten feet from tip to tip. ^ It had swallowed an octopus weighr ing 1,500 pounds, which was still alive ( in its stomach when caught. It could have swallowed twenty .tonahs without suffering the slightest pangs of indigestion. It smashed a boat into thousands l~ of pieces and crushed the rudder and propeller of a thirly-one-ton yacht with a single swish of Its mighty tall, t Five harpoon thrusts and 150 large calibre rifle bullets only served to InUrease its fury and it took five days ^ tb finally kill It. The battle lasted thirty-nine hours ?two days and a night?in open sea 1 with the monster dragging a small ijoat at expness .tr^iu spysd^foi him uf CQB f OI ? ; Smithsonian authorities believe that n t^ifc creature waa an inhabitant of I <ieptha more than 1.500 feet below the sjirfuco and that if. was blown up by some subterranean or volcanic upMearal which injured its diving aps" paratus so It waa unable to return to its native depths. 0 Its hide is three Inches thick and enabled to withstand the most enormous water pressure, a pressure almost Inconceivable to men. Its eyes, which are very small, have no lids and are never closed. Indicating that It lived at a depth where eyes were of r" no avail. The creature is not classified in 18 nritural history, the genus or species 18 li unknown and it is not only the most y remarkable zoological specimen, but 'e the largest specimen of the fish tribe :e known in history. i(* Although the largest fish ever cap!l) tured, scientists claim it was only a II lxtby of its tribe and if It had llted to aAUiin full growth It would have been l& two and a half times as large. Kvcry undertaking establishment on the Florida east coast from Jacksonlc vllle to Key West, gave up their enl" tiro supply of formaldehyde to preie sferve the monster and over nineteen 16 tjarrcls were uted. y* it was mounted- by J. S. Warmbeth, ir the celebrated taxidermist of the Hrrithsonian institution, who was also chosen to accompany Admiral Peary on his famous trip to the Pole. r* it Is now exhibited in Tampa, at the a city dock In front of tire Tampa Bay rc hotel, on board Captain Thompson's l- largo sea-going yacht, which he built ;s at a coat of 130,000. n, | | in Strang* American Ship in Franc*. ld ?"The United States Ship Caroia,"* ""ft that n?rnr went to sea and never
