' After serving for nearly six mouths in the stoke hold of the Florida, one of Undo Sam's big war ships sent to aid tbo British grand fleet, with his shin facing the con stant danger of having a mine or an enemy torpedo explode under her, the while she patrolled the seas with other ships of the grand fleet chal lenging and searching for the hidden German fleet, Fireman Daniel X. Hawk, who is visiting this week at the home of Ilia paicnls, 'Rev. and Mrs. N. S. Hawk, In this city, exper ienced many eights and thrills which will remain In his memory through out the rest of his life. Fireman Hawk, who is a tall, clean cut youth, made strong and healthy by his hard work in the bottom of a lilt) ship, enlisted hi Portland. Jan uary 2nd. 1918, from St. Mary's, Idaho, whero his parents then re sided. He was sent from Portland to the Seattle training camp, where he spent five months, and was then transferred to the east, where he joined the U. S. S. Arkansas. He went across the Atlantic on th Ar kansas almost immediately afterward and while the fleet was In the Firth of the Forth he received a transfer to the U. S. S. Florida. The Forlda, with four other Amer loan warships, comprised the sixth battle squadron of the British Grand Fleet. The other ships were the New York, Admiral Rodman's flag ship; and following her the Texas, the Arkansas, the Wyoming, and the Florida, in the order named. To give an Idea of the immense size and number of vessels employed In the Grand Fleet, it might be sated that entering or leavins port. Firemen Hawk says, the column of ssips, ex cluding destroyers, was on an aver age about sixty-five miles,' and . on one occasion seventy-six miles, de pending on the condition of the weather and the number of ships. Much has been written about the bravery of the men who keep the Arcs going down in the bottom of the great warships, serving where they have the least chance of escape should a torpedo or mine strike the ship. Firemen Hawk volunteered tor this work when he enlisted and lie has experienced almost all the sensations that go with the job ex coptp that of being actually torpe doed. The Florida had several nar row escapes jvhllo submarine hunt ing, two U-boats firing, torpedoes at her from opposite tides almost slm ultaneausly. By clever maneuver ing, however, the Florida was brought to pass betwoon the deadly missiles and they passed harmlessly by. Fireman Hawk was ono of those who were privileged to witness the greatest demonstration of Germany's downfall, the surrender of her great fleet to the Allied navy. The Flori da, with the other American ships, was in the line of ships of the Grand Fleet that went out to receive the surrender of the foe. TJie vessels steMiied out in two rows, six miles part, and a small British destrpyer was Bent ahead to meet the Germans and conduct them tfc where the tri umphant ravy was awaiting. As the German, fleet drew near the crews i . OUTBURSTS OF W wtj I- HI Uf G o of the Allied ships watech ca f nlly for any Indication of treaclAry, the ships were all cleared for action, the men at their statpns and the guns trained on the approaching vessels, it Is a matter of history, however. that their Submission was complete and final, ans the once powerful navy of Germany was conducted to Sea pa Flow, In Scotland, their crews re moved thers and the Hun fleet then sent to a cold, lonesome spj. In the Orkney Islands to be Interned. There they still remain. - Despite their months of bard ser vice In .European water, the Ameri can battleships and their crews re in fine condition.. Fireman Hawk says, and the aduiiral of the fleet claimed that they were in shape to complete a voyage around the world without any extensive repairing. Fireman Hawk expects to leave toiuonrow night to return to Norfolk, Va., to rejoin his boat; unless in the meantime he receive! an extension of leave, for which ho has wlrod. - QUARANTINE LIST ON STEADY DECLINE The quarantine list in La Grande is decreasing- day by day, there being only seven houses under quarantine et the present time.

EVERETT TRUE newtoday V0ULD.CREAT POiESTIC COURT WOJ1 AX MEMItKIt FHOM HOOD itiVEH is sponsor OF HILL Act, If Pawed, Will Provide Kiieclnl Judge Who Will Handle" All Cases of Delinquents. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 30. j A bill providing for the ero..uon of a court of domestic relations in Multnomah county, will be introduc ed In the House this week by Mrs. Alexander Thompson, representa tive from Hobd River and Wasco counties. Representative Thompson claims thH the proposed bill will bo a val uable Instrument in the handling of a difficult situation. Provision is made for taking care of nil delin quent, neglected and dependent chil dren from the Juvenile court and placing them under the jurisdiction of tho court of domestlce relations. ' Speuking of tho new measure, Mrs. Thompson Bald: I ' "A special Judge will be created 1 for that purpose, Willi a salary of; $4000 a year, .and in addition to' caring for the dependent, delinquent : and neglected children, he will have charge of mothers' -phiisIoii matters and the commitment of all Insane and feeble-minded children. . r It: is the desire to hold the par ents responsible for the delinquency of the .child and also to keep children from coming Into contact with , the associations which the law thrusts upon them. The children will no longer 'be brought into tho court with oil tho spectacular efloct clnci dent with a criminal trial. The present system of locking them up also has a decidedly baneful influ ence. Politics to He Removed. "The Judge of tho nciv court will Sit ltt"a'ii advisory capacity with olher circuit judges at all divorce o:iscs where the question of the custody of children is involvod. "He will be selected from a list ot three pames to ha chosen by tho Child Welfare Commission. The ap pointment will be by the governor In tho first instance and his success or will be chosen at the next gen eral . election. All deputies, proba tion ofTlcers and other assist Mils will be solccted on advice of tho Child Welfare Commission, thus removing the curl front politic! as Ta'ir as "pos sible and providing is tribunal for the welfaro of the children which will have that for Its tole tlni and ob ject.
