"Jb' New York chief turret captain and 'commander of the naval gun crew of ^ the steamship Silver Shell, recently ( ~ on the high seas gives another indi- ( "* cation of what our men are made of. ^ Clark is an enlisted man, who has 7^' seen nearly twelve years of service in the navy and has won promotions ;s. tproved capacity. Recently by his| bravery and resource he made a dent j in the kaiser's submarine warfare by p*. bringing about the sinking of an un* dersea craft. For his work he won special praise from Secretary of the Navy Daniels. '"Submarine ofT the port bow?" i was the hail that started the crew of | fe-J the Silver Shell on a mornjng not: long ago. i#. At a distance of 7,00p yards Clark . " saw a submarine; the U-boat displayed no flag and was approaching, i s " the merchant ship at great speed. I The gunners of the Silver Shell were! ~ alert at their posts. I "Fire!" cried Clark; the Silver Shell'c runs barkpA hnf ti"> 1 ?. D"v"-1 fell short of the mark. The U-boat replied with a six-inch gun, but the marksmanship was poor, the shell falling 100 yards to the starboard | of the American vessel. The course of the Solver Shell was ?% m due west and the vessel shot ahead at increased speed. The submarine followed, keeping up a rapid fire. ^ Clark stood with his gunners, en^ eouraglng them with his fine ardor.

Shober, Jr., of Philadel- i phia, attached to the American am- I bulance service in France. i This young Philadelphian, bred in i the shadow of Independence Hall, was having a night off recently from 1 his arduous and extremely danger- 1 ous duty as an ambulance driver on i the battlefront. But he had become 1 so attached to his job of hiking the i wounded off the flield under fire that I < he just had to hang around and1 i watch his plucky comrades work. Stars gleamed froBtily in a dark 11 blue dome; the boom of big guns'( the novelists would say, the shell ( pocked landscape was illuminated by; 3 varicolored star shells which the! 1 Huns sent up from their trenches to < frustrate designs of French raiding 1 parties. ' < Shober was watching wounded be- < ing lifted into ambulances which 1 were parked nearby. Suddenly there I was a terrific explosion. Staober gax- I ed upward and became tense when 1 he observed a whole flock of Boche ? aircraft just overhead. The Hun i aviators were serving the cause of < humanity by dropping bombs upon i the ambulances. ; "The dirty dogs!" growled Shober. i and as he spike his lithe young body ] shot forward, and a second later he < bounded into the driver's seat of one i of Hhe ambulances which was filled i with wounded. With bombs burst- ? ing all about him, and with machine i guns spraying his near vicinity Sam 1 Shober turned on the juice and the ; ambulance shot forward with its precious load. t t One of the Boche aircraft "follow- i ed the nervy American, x sending i down bomb after bomb, and doing 1 his best to riddle the ambulance with i machine-gun bullets. Sam set his teeth like an American fullback i bucking an opponent's line for a i touchdown and tucked on the speed. 1 Sam acted without ceremony when 1 IT.ou can buy for the 1< icarcity of merchant st in Easter clothing and Boy's Spring V. way time and money to buy i lay genius has solved the clot kin a oil inalAMi rmv on itit; 4uaiucD ui iauui ^ le but you get a superior fabr son's line of Easter suits.

E * / v ft French officer stood in the path of the machine with its bleeding cargo. "Get the hell out of the road!" he relied, and the officer leaped aside as if he had been 'propelled by electric- 1 ity. Sam outdistanced the Boche. ilrcraft and arrived safely at a field 1 hospital with his load of wounded, i Curiously enough, it was the same French officer whom Soni ordered to "get the hell out of the road" thai.: recommended that the young American be decorated with the Croix do1 3uere. Douglas Helmet is New Innovation The "Douglas Helmet" is an innovation in Red Cross work. It was Invented by Mrs. R. S. Morton, Detroit, Michigan, who asked that it be < :alled the "Douglas Helmet," in hon- < or of her son, Douglas, who was in | Lhe service. The new helmet has the: idvantuge that it takes far less yarn.J; may be crocheted instead of knitted, therefore saving much time, and ; may be made by an active worker in a couple of hours. In its use it has the advantage of jeing smaller, more easily carried than a larger helmet, is without the . muffler attachment of the ordinary | tielmet, and has all the warmth and; ( protection for the face and ears of! ( the wearef that the old helmet pos-j teases. Material: Khaki or gray worsted knitted yarn, 1 skeim.
