The exploit of William J. Clark, of-.
"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

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.

The gunners worked with a will, I
firing more than twenty-five shots in i
a battle that lasted nearly two i
hours. Two submarines fired more 1
than thirty shots, including some <
shrapnel toward the end, which ex- 1
ploded astern of the Silver Shell, '
but too high to do any damage. The i

"For his work he deserves the <

declared the secretary. 1
Hats off, you loyal Americans, to ;
Samuel L. 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

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. Crochet neeile
