Two British destroyers on patrol duty
In the English channel off Dover the
other night came upon a flotilla of six
German destroyers, and then ensued
an encounter which will live long In
the history of naval engagements.
German destroyers were torpedoed and
rammed. Every gun aboard the com
batants was working, sweeping the
decks and tearing gaps in the sides of
the opposing craft, There was the
locking together of a British and Ger
man destroyer, and the men fought fu
riously In a band to hand battle.
German seamen of a rammed de
stroyer climbed aboard one of the Brit
ish boats, and a midshipman fought
them back with an automatic pistol.
They were killed or driven again into
the sea by sailors who came to tho
midshipman's aid.
The British destroyers were the
Swift and the Broke, and, although
they had received many wounds, they
returned to port.
it was Intensely dark, but calm. The
Swift sighted the enemy at 000 yards,
and tho Germans instantly opened fire.
There were six German destroyers, ac
cordbig to German prisoners. The
Swift replied and tried to ram the
leading enemy destroyer. She missed
ramming, but shot through the Ger
man Hue unscathed and lit turning
neutly torpedoed another boat iu the
enemy line.
Again the Swift dashed at the lead
er, which again eluded her and fled
with tho Swift in pursuit.
In the meantime the Broke bud
launched a torpedo at the second boat
In the line, which hit the mark, ami
then opened lire with every possible
gun. The remaining Geraiuu bouts
were stoking furiously for full sced.
The Broke s commander swung round
to port and rammed the third boat
fulr and squaro abreast the after fun
nel. Locked together thus, the two
boats fought a desperate hand to band
conflict. The Broke swept the enemy's
decks at point blank range with every
gun, from main armament to pompom,
Maxim, rifle and pistol.
Cutlass end Bayonet Used.
Two other German destroyers at
tacked aud poured a devastating Are
on the Broke, whose foremast gun
crews were reduced from eighteen to
six men. Midshipman Donald Gyles,
although wounded In the eye. kept all
the foremast guns In action, ho him
self assisting the depleted crews to
load. While he was thus employed a
number of frenzied Germans swarmed
up over the Broke's forecastle out of
the rammed destroyer and, finding
themselves amid the blinding Sashes
of tho forecastle guns, swept aft In a
shouting mob.
The midshipman, amid the dead and
wounded of his own gun crews and
half blinded by blood, met the onset
single handed with an automatic pis
tol. Ho was grappled by a German
who tried to wrest the pistol uway.
uutiassos aim uayouets being among
the British equipment in anticipation
of such an event, the German was
promptly bayoneted by Seaman ingle-
son. The remainder of the Invaders,
except two wno reigned aeatn, were
driven over tho side, the two being
taken prisoners.
Two minutes after ramming, the
Broke wrenched herself free from her
sinking adversary and turned to ram
the last of the three remaining Ger
man boats. She failed In this object
Tho enemy then disappeared In the
darkness. The Broke, altering her
course, bended In the direction of a
destroyer which, a few minutes later.
was seen to be heavily alire, and whose
rew, on sighting the British destroyer,
sent up shouts for mercy. The Broke
steered slowly toward the German, re
gardless of the dunger from a possible
explosion of the magazines, and the
ermnn seamen redoubled their shouts
of "Stive, save!" and then unexpectedly
opened lire.
Ends Treacherous Attack.
The Broke, being out of control, was
unuble to maneuver or extricate her
self, but silenced the treachery with
four rounds; then, to Insure her own
afety, torpedoed the German.
The British casualties are set down
as comparatively slight, and the spirit
of the wounded Is illustrated by the
conduct of the Broke's helmsman, Sea
man William Howies, who, though hit
four times by shell fragments, retuuined
at the wheel throughout the action and
llnully only betrayed the fact thnt he
was wounded by reMrting to his cai-
tain. "I iu going off now. sir," and
fainted.
A number of the wounded only pre
sentel themselves at sick call the fol
lowing day. one stoker giving the sur
geon the ingenuous excuse. "I was too
busy, sir. clearing up the rubbish on
the stokers' mess deck."

An Aztec Solomon.
On one occasion an officer stole a
sack of silver pesos. He fled into the
state of Guerrero. Zapata sent for a
young officer of his staff and paid:
"You will follow this traitor nieht
and day, and never rest until you find
him. You must not kill
bring him back to me alive. I will
hang him in the plnza before all the
people as one who has been false to
his trust."
Without remark the young officer
left the headquarters and started the
pursuit. For weeks he trailed tho
fugitive back and forth through hos
tile country. At last he captured him
and brought him, bound hand and
foot, into a room where Zapata was
holding a conference.
"Mi general," he said huskily," you
told me to capture him without injury
and bring him before you. I have
done so. Now I want to ask one fav
or. Let me die in his place and set
him free."
"What fool is this?" iried Zapata
in amazement. "Why do you, an hon
orable soldier, want to die to set free
this traitor?"
"He is my youngest brother," re
plied the officer. "I obeyed your or
der because you are my chief, but if
my brother dies because of me, 1
would not want to live.
For a moment Zaputa' sased from
the .cringing prisoner to the pale
faced officer standing rigidiy at at
tention. "Listen to me!" he finally ex
claimed, pointing his finger in tho
prisoner's face. "Your brother has
proved that he is a man. So I will
grant his request. This is my sen
tence: you will be stripped of your
rank and you will work as your
brother's mozo. You will do wom
an's work and cook for him, and serve
him as a slave. Nevermore will you
carry a gun in the company of free
men. Go!" The Christian Herald.
against him, but Zapata is holding his
own. His army is an elastic one. At
times it shrinks to a few thousand
men, when the peons go back to till
their fields. When a campaign is be
gun his forces swell to many thou
sands. One thing is sure. Ho can set as
him, but I many recruits as he has guns.
Whatever the solution of the Mex
ican problem may be, Zapata and his
half million loyal followers must bo
considered. He will quit fighting only
when his "Plan of Ayala" is made
part of the law of the nation.
Of all the insurgent leaders who
have battled for supremacy the last
six years in Mexico, he is the one
chief who has remained true to his
followers. His peons know what they
are fighting for. They are battling
for land and Don Emiliano Zapata.

CHEVROLET MOTOR CAR CO.
GIVES $100,000 TO RED CROS3
Zapata.
When it is considered that Zapivta
is a half-breed Indian, scarcely able
to read and wiito, it must be admitted
that he is somewhat of a philowpher.
I believe that this pom chieftain is
the one leader in Mexico who has no
ambitions to be a dictator of his
country. As long as he can rule his
native state and keep the landlords
out he is content. He sees only one
thing the land question, but he sees
that very clearly. His "Plan of Ay
ala,' 'as far as it applies to the com
mon ownership of laud, h;is worked.
At least it has worked to the satis
faction of the poor laborers.
Carranza is still carrying on war
$100,000 was the contribution of the
Chevrolet Motor Company to the
great Red Cross fund. This amount
is one of the largest contributions to
the worthy cause of any individual, or
ganization, or corporation. In addi
tion to the $100,000 donated by the
great Chevrolet Company, officers of
the company made individual gifts for
the aid of the Red Cross work and
the employes themselves shared in
the Red Cross contributions. From
the highest salaried employe down to
the humblest employed about the fac
tories, they all did their bit. A num
ber of the mechanics have pledged
themselves to give a dollar a week tc
the Red Cross work until the end of
the war. Both President Norman De
Vaux and Sales Manager R. C. Du-
rant of the Chevrolet Motor Company
of California made large individual
gifts to the cause, which greatly hel,s
to swell the fund in California.
