roluiitccrvd ill' V. S. Xay as Fll-
man Saw German Fleet Finally
Disiiosetl of. '
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

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. -

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

be solccted on advice of tho Child
Welfare Commission, thus removing

sible and providing is tribunal for the
welfaro of the children which will
have that for Its tole tlni and ob
