SAMUEL BERSON. New York, July 7, 1918. June 6, 1918. ? I am willing to take my h-t off for the British warships any d ,y. The escort we met as we struck the danger zone was efficiency with a capital "E." They saved our lives twice. Only their vigilance, marksmanship, and s';illful maneuvering saved this convoy. I wouldn't take all the money in ihe world for that trip and the thiills that it offered. Only we could not see how they could do all that bh without having the American Flag on their musts to inspirit them. Those destroyers can charge on a sub with the speed of the most power4*n 1 rnoinir nor aii/lrlnnKr a ii/nrv; <> f.t lUi tavilim VUi | JUUUVIIIJ orr vt ? v< vw a id escape the mountain of water that rises straight up in the air with lightning rapidity. If I didn't see with my own eyes what happened 1 would never believe it. And if the Knglish can do it, the Americans surely can do it. No wonder the sub is considered as powerless in stopping the United States from sending troops across. I have never hud as much faith in our winning this war as I have now, after seeing the utter ^ t futility of the Bub. Just imagine it is Sunday. June 2, 6:20 P. M. Signal for "sub in sight" had just been given by a transport. Instantly two destroyers are seen bearing down on three dark ob'ects about u half mile away with lightning speed, sirens screeching, and guns shooting. Suddenly, within a short distance of the dark objects that are subs, they swing to one side, dropping depth bombs, and just escaping the mountain of water and crash by inches. Those depth charges, although rocking every boat in the convoy, did the trick. Do you blame us for cheering? The subs were making a big try for us that evening. An hour later the transport alongside of us suddenly screeched out the warning: "sub in sight." Can you believe it? After the lesson they were taught just ar. hour ago they were still looking for more. But this son-of-a-gun was prepared for business. One look in the periscope showed the front part of the transport that spied her first Poor target! One slight turn, and the whole side of the transport I was on was exposed to her. Very tempting target. Rose slightly, and the while line preceding a torpedo was seen emerging from her. But all this time a destroyer was bearing down , on her. As we noticed the long foaming line, we also saw something fi.arh from the side of the destroyer, a shock that made every boat quiver like a leaf, and a mountain of water etraight up, was all that could be seen of the torpedo and sub. Oh,yes, the destroyer was seen disappearing in the mist shaking its sides like a dog after a bath. And through all this the other destroyers cruise around in their own allotted territory, not going out of their way the leas ^ bit, knowing full well that the on< Pf nearest the point ot danger can iuiij handle the situation herself. Now do you blame me for taking my hat off to the British Navy? A FRENCHMAN ON OUR AIR PROGRAM "The day of errors, in which we had our share, is now over. Tne hopes which public opinion founded on American aviation soon will be realized." This is what Captain Horteaux, the famous French aviator, told the Associated Press in Paris up on his return from a visit to the United States. It is another sign of great things that are to be. In this country Captain Horteau-: looked into the status of our avia tion program. How well he was pleased with what he found is indicated in his statement printed above. When Captain Horteaux refers to "the hopes which public opinion founded on American aviation," he , means the hopes which were entertained by French public opinion. They were large hopes indeed. The French people set acarcly any limit to the capacity of the United States. They thought of America as a wonderfui country, of vast wealth and vast re sources, which always did everything on a huge scale. They expected us to ; produce on air fleet which would fcr surpass anything ever before seen in the air. Now when Captain Horteaux, af ter examining into the progress of our air program says, that these expectations of the French will soon be realized he says a great deal. It is J , perfectly safe to conclude from his words that what he saw in this country convinced him that the United | - States is going to do something very big in aviation?something so big that it will not disappoint even the French who have expected so much.?

HuntUy Mrs. J. C. Huntley, Sr., of Ruby, has received the following letter from her son, S. M. Huntley: "Somewhere on the Ocean" Dear Mama:. Today will finish three days and nights at sea for us. As yet only a few have been sea sick. I'm glad to say that I haven't been among the number, but then the ocean has been comparatively calm until this afternoon. There is a pretty stiff breeze blowing now and by morning I suspect that even the big ship will ! ?? rocking about enough to make us land-lovers wish we were ashore. I told you on the card I sent about us having a piano very near our berths. There are quite a few musi V -.1 i 1 ?! rictus an uvuiu, iiitiuuinK iwo excellent violinists. Someone brought a number of pieces of sheet music, including one of Lexie's favorites, "Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight." Although we are not in the danger zone we are, and have been since leaving port, required to wear lift preservers and carry our canteens full of fresh water, except when near our berths. Then, too, we have drills to enable us to get to certain places assigned to us as quickly as possible in case of fire or any like danger. We are assured that there is plenty of time for everyone on board to get off before the ship could possibly sink. There are a lot of life boats and rafts! on board or rather attached to the side of the ship. Saturday Morning. The sunset last evening was particularly beautiful. Soon after 1 stopped writing I went up on the "hurricane deck" to wait for the sun to set. There were more clouds lasi night than tonight, but even then the sight was beautiful. They had target practice day before yesterday. They thre\\ something over board and then circled around so that the big six-inch .funs on either end of the boat could get a crack at it. Some noise those puns made too! They hit the target several times. In connection with that target practice an amusing thing?that is, is was amusing to all except one or possibly two parties?happened. A fellow in this compartment was doing "bunk fatigue" so industriously that he went to sleep and so didn't hear us when we left for the upper decks. The irst thing he knew the puns wit, joing off good fashioned. The poor I fellow thought, no doubt, that the ;uns were from the enemies' vessels. \nyway, he jumped out of his berth and rushed up deck knocking down i guard on the way. Sunday Morning I suppose that you all must be getinp ready for Sunday School by now. 1 don't know whether we shall have services today or not. I don't much hink there will be any as no an ouncements have been made. We have been in the danger zone quite i while now. Last night after supper ve had a drill with more specific di cctions; and too, we were all ordered tot to remove our clothing when we retired. Nevertheless, I slept as ound as a log, and this morning I am 'eeling even better than yesterday; nough so to eat every bit of my reakfast. Yesterday afternoon one of the Y. M. C. A. men brought around Pamphlets with the songs in them ind new Testaments. Both were free ?.l 4U? 1 Iiw iiiukc Wt'ic ijuii.tr (I 1UI ul eUL'll UISributed. Some of the boys got torether and had a "sing." This afternoon at 7:10 will compete our fifth day of sailing. It is ool enough for one to feel very comfortable in both his blouse and over:oat while on deck. The fellows have ibout quit starting when one suddeny yells at them, "Oh! say, there's a ihone message for you"; "Morning nail" and "crows in the corn patch" are old jokes too. We really did see iome sea gulls yesterday afternoon. .Vonder where they came from. The crew assures us that we are . cheerful bunch?natural, not liquid f you please? you'd think so if yot ould have heard the follows in our deeping quarters the other night jus ifter lights went out at nine o'clock, t reminded one of school days, or, possibly more of the barnyard. The bob-whites, turkey gobblers, guineas, lorses and yes?the bearded animni famous in history and poetry, the joat?could all be distinguished. Any>ody can mock the bob-white, but it takes an artist to imitate the gobbler is one fellow did. One of the officers vho came in to restore order went out doubled up with laughter. It .vas rich, I assure you. Monday Night Well, we expect to land about four 3'cloc)t tomorrow. It will seem so strange and unreal to touch foot in the "Old Word." S. M. HUNTLEY. A Few Days Later Mrs. Huntley received the followng letter a few days later: It was Tuesday at about 10 o'clock hat we first sighted land, great nountains rising majestically out of the sea mist. It wasn't long before we were passing a great many fishing boats, trawlers, etc. There were many lighthouses all along the rocky coasts ind soon the sea gulls were following our vessel. It was interesting to vatch them swooping down into the water. Not long afterwards we passed the rocky coast and could see more evel land, very thickly populated. There were a great many bathers to >e seen as we neared land, and such i beautiful water front! We were lelightad to see an old castle looking -i? From ferry boats, water front and a even windows people were wildly | f waving at us. Away over on a beau- a tifully kept lawn two children were t waving our flag at us. Soon after v our lunch was served we landed. It t seemed mighty hard to realize?does k yet for that matter?that we had c touched foot in the Old World. a At an American Y. M. C. A. we b hid our first experience in changing j money. A comparative table of Ame- o rican, French and English money t values helped a lot in counting our d change. We felt quite rich with so F many pennies and halp pennies. At .ihout 10 (7:30) o'clock we saw a t beautiful, rich sunset. All the quaint o old foreign looking buildings looked t uuuuiy ?|wami in ine glow. ine wa- p ter and I he tall lighthouses looked 1; particulary beautiful. ii We boarded our train about 11:30. ii I can't say that the English train d compares favorably with our Ameri- r can trains; particularly is that true in s comparing the sizes of the two coun- n tries' trains. The English train is y much smaller than I expected. The t khird class coaches we rode in, with b their door opening on the sides and h .heir curious signs (somewhat like b some of our street cars) were not t uncomfortable. There were eight of t! us to a compartment. How is that sc for exclusivcness in traveling? The v thickly populated country districts, h with the level, well laid out farms tl and neat farm houses, were very in- ii .eresting in the clear moonlight. At c one of the cities enroute we were li served coffee. It was daybreak soon a after 3 o'clock, but I'm sorry to say s that weariness and a "snooze" pre- 8 vented me from seeing half'I wanted fi to. It was about 8;30 when we ar-, b rived at the little town nearest our t present camp. I was industriously tl engaged in dreaming when the door w near which 1 was seated was opened k from the outside and some one yelled a the name of the town. My belt and 8 pack were tangled together, my hat t bent almost wrong side out and I c found that in lying on my rain coat Jj i had mu-igled two hard boiled eggs. j< .Nevertheless I had soon straightened 0 things out, struggled into my belt, a :iUt on mv uack. wis in line nnswer- ? ing my name, "counting off" and was j] again "packing" English dirt. I was c glad that we halted for a few minutes c in the middle of the town. It was the time of day when folk (mostly young ladies) were going to work. Practically all of them were riding oicycles. There were several milk f wagons going their rounds driven by girls and a group of merry, rosy cheeked children passed on their way to school. As we passed along we were struck by the fact that every fit of land is utilized. Potatoes and v grain are the principal crops, and t there is a lot of pasture land support- e ing cattle and sheep. F We passed on through the town, p up a shaded lane, with well to do fc homes on both sides, by a florist's a shop with beautiful floral displays, past a great estate, the owner of y which we think must be titled, always t teeping to the left, according to the y curious English custom, and finally s turned off into camp. t There js a very good Y. M. C. A. b near us. It has in addition to the ii things in our army "Y" at home, a u very good canteen where one can get p a good many little luxuries. About v the only sweetmeat to be purchased c is butterscotch. It is very cheap, but t one can only buy two pence worth at t a time. u We rested most of the afternoon, but about 8 o'clock Jennings and I t decided we wanted to walk around f ind see something more of our "Eng lish cousins." We were not allowed -o walk toward the town, but anyway, .ve preferred to saunter countryward. Soldiers are allowed to wander about .he grounds of one of our rich neigh- ^ bors. The Englishman loves privacy. The residence itself could not be ieen from the road. We first came to .he lodger's cottage just beside the oad. It was a neat little affair. Of ^ . ourse it was covered with vines and r oses were clambering all around the c windows. We went on through the j driveway with the branches of the ^ trees meeting overhead and shedding a .1 wonderfully beautiful light. The trees were different from any we see ^ in America. On one side of the main driveway was a small pasture. There a were two or three fine colts playing c about. We went on around in the c CONSTIPATION ; And Sour Stomach Canted This * Lady Much Suffering. BlackDraught Relieved. * Meadorsvllle, Ky.?Mrs. Pearl Pat- j rick, of this place, writes: "I was very constipated. I had sour stomach and was so uncomfortable. I went to the doctor. He gave me some pills. They weakened me and seemed to tear up my digestion. They would gripe me and afterwards It seemed I was more constipated than before. I heard of Black-Draught ahd decided to try It I found It just what 1 needed. It was an easy laxgtlve, and not bad to swallow. My digestion soon Improved. I got well of the sour stomach, my bowels soon seemed normal, 1 no more griping, and I would take a dose now and then, and was (n good shape. | I cannot say too much for BlackDraught for it Is the finest laxative nna ran nan " Thedford's Black-Draught has for , many year* been found of great value 1 in the treatment of stomach, llrer and 1 bowel troubles.

A little farther down the walk ve found a summer house, and it was hatched. A nice old lady (the house- * ;eeper, I imagine) was going about 1 aring for the flowers. There was .nother driveway leading to the stales. The big barn with its cluck was ust as fine as the average Western ne?it was far neater and more picuresque. Of course there was the log kennel?it wouldn't have been England without it's dog kennel. There was the old coffee house in own where Jennings and myself had ur cocoa and cake (queen's cakes, hey call them?they cost us only S ience each), with its sweet faced old ady shopkeeper and its curious and nteresting advertisements. After caving the coffee house we went on own the street across a sleepy old iver, so clear that we could see fish ome depth below its surface. In nany places there were lilies, so that ou see, even the streams in this secton of England are not without their eauty. Among a cluster of ancient nuqp<( wnvt n wpntKorKnofon rv1*l ey. As we came up to the church wo little girls carried us around to he side of the church and showed us >me cannon ball scars made by Cromwell's men. There was such a deep ush as we entered the church, only he deep, wonderfully sweet breathrigs from the great organ filling the hurch. We stood for a few minutes istening to the organ and gazing bout us and then, as there was no ervice going on, we started in our everal directions through the magniicent old church. This church was uilt in A. D. 907. The Danes parially destroyed it about 40 years afhe building was begun. In the church were a lot of curios, including an old ey found in a lake near the church nd a mason's punch, used in l.'10.r>, o the card stated. In another secion of the church was a tablet dediated to a young man (a lord, I beeve) who went down with the Titan:. It's so interesting?the blending f the new and old in this ancient bbey. After exploring the church horoughly we were allowed to go ato the belfry. From there one ould see the narrow river, town and ountry for miles around. ^ Beri T.
