Carl Prank Ust. 17-year-old son of
Mrs. Clara List of 834 Rodney avenue,

submarine In war time.

the Norwegian 'ship Cambuskenneth.

l he Cambuskenneth was intercepted
by the famous German submarine K-39
la the Irish channel June 29. The ship
struck her colors, a boat was lowered
and the chief mate delivered the ship's
papers to the commander of the sub
marine, wjio stated that the Cambus
kenneth would be sunk. The crew was
left to shift for itself In open boats,
with the exception of four German
sailors who were taken aboard the
submarine. List, although an Ameri
can, contrived to get aboard the sub
marine with his four German fellows.
For 11 days List was a nassenscr
aboard the U-39 as she combed the
Irish sea. sending to the bottom 31
merchant ships. When her ammuni
tion was exhausted, the submarine re
turned to her naval base at Heligoland

A string of commands, a rumble of
machinery, then n deathlike ' silence.
tnd I was told that we were under the
surface, invisible and deep enough to
let the ships pat-s o er us. Witn my
pillow case of clothes under my head,
I dropped on the linoleum of the floor
of the mess room. Next to me was
the mate. He was fast asleep and
snoring, and into the bunks th sub
marine sailors crawled, clothes and
all. I fell asleep at last that night
with An electric light shining right
Into my face.
What did she look like? The gen
eral fchape wis mat of a long cipar,
some 200 feet long, cut up in sections
and gray inside. Filled with shining
gear, it was one minute pounding with
noise and alive with moving figures
the next silent as a tomb, uncanny,
men standing still and alert, awaiting
the next command as if fate hung on
their actions.
Conld See Torpedo Boom.
Looking forward you could see the
torpedo room, a mnss of piping, valves
and "gadgets'' two big fat tubes, level
with the floor, each loaded with the
death of a dreadnaught. Overhead
hung two shining torpedoes ready to
be lowered into the tube for firing.
There was the captain's room, with
bunks for himself and the second in
command. 1 snatched a look at the
photographs of Von Weddingen and
old Hindenburg, and I wished I had
a nice bed like his to stretch out in,
even if the sweating seams above did
make the covers damp.
The navigators' room came next,
with a bunk along the r.all ami a desk
for books and charts and the like. Far
ther aft the two lieutenants slept, and
when they had a chance, the engintci
and a machinist.
then came me petty "Ulcers quur-
ters, with the X'.tC.en cutting in. and
here was the electric stoe and a pump
from which the cook dealt us out
spa.re allowances of water and handed
out the aluminum bowls with hoc
stew, our staple diet.
Noise Is Terrific.
In the mess room we, the ship
wrecked, stayed most of the time. We
washed pans and kept things cl. an
generally. The wireless was stuck in
the corner. The all-important contr.d
ler room was Just under the conning
tower. And through all the -omrait-ments
came -the rattling racket of tho
twin Krupp engines of six cylinders
each and 900 horsepower. You could
not hear yourself think when the sub -
marine was navigating, for the slam-
mlng of the camshaft, the chug chug
of the piston rods and the cough of
the air compressors. But they were
the boys for work never missed a
stroke and pushed the boat from Wil
helmshaven clean around the British
Isles and back without so much as a

I was told. I be;ieved.
Electric Motors for Attack.
But I, liked best those electric mo
tors in the next room purring away
like a pair of cats, good for 10 knota
under water. They never ran full
speed except during an attack. Emeis
lng and submerging, we went as slow
as possible to save the "Juice," as when
going to the bottom for a snooze.
I was told that never once were the
storage batteries rtx:Tiarged during the
entire trip. Often 1 asked, but the men
said the batteries would hold out.
And the tail of the ship held an
other set of double torpedo tubes with
a reserve supply of two torpedoes and
hung from above where some of the
crew could sling their hammocks. ,

Ford Dedicates Million to
Vigorous Peace Campaign
Educational Movement Against "Preparedness" to ,Be Financed
by Enormous Fund Edison and Wanamaker to Be
Consulted Criticism Is Welcomed.
Lctroit, Sept. 5 (Sunday). ( t". P.)
Henry Ford has set aside $1,000,00 J
to start am educational campaign for
peace and against "preparedness"
which he declares to be the cause of
all wars, says a special article in the
Detroit F"ree Press this morning.
"This will be carried on in the Uni
ted States and the nations now at
peace and when Europe regains Its
sanity the work will lie carried to
those nations," said Ford in announc
ing the fund.
The Ford peace plan involves the
giving by Ford of a large cash prize
for a history of war in the world "that
shall not make deml-gods of soldiers
and shall show war in ail Its horrors
instead of glorifying the slaughter.'
The history. Ford stipulates, must be
"a history that shall discourage war
by telling of the great tilings of
peace."
Criticism Is Enjoyed.
Concerning the criticism that Ford's
recent peace pronouncements have
called forth, he says:
"The more criticism the better. By
criticism I get my education. It is

of Campaign of Politicians.
Commandant W. W. Elder of the Ore
gon Soldlers'i Ttorr.e at Roseburg is
the latest victim of the game of poli
tics which Is being played at the stale
capitol.
Commandant Elder was removed by
Governor WHhycombe and State Treas
urer Kay over the protests of Secre
tary of State Olcott, at a meeting of
the state board of control Friday.
It has been known that ever since
Withycombe has been in office he has
wanted to remove Elder because Elder
did not support his candidacy in tbe
last election and also opposed him
when he was a candidate for governor
In 1906.
It was not until lately that the gov
ernor obtained the support of Kay,
thereby securing the necessary two
votes to remove Elder and settle up
ar.other political score.
Because of Commandant Elder's
known efficiency and the widespread
approval of his administration by the
citizens of Hosehurg, who are :n
closest touch with the institution.
State Treasurer Kay was loath to give
his support in removing him. Kay also
no doubt remembered the high praise
he has accorded the work of Elder on
various occasions, and even -a few
weeks ago.

Squelching of Grand Admiral

By William J. Shepherd.
London, Sept. 4 (U. P.) Tho be
lief Is growing here that the world
war may end as suddenly as it began.
Peace may be reached before the
troops in the field face another terri
ble winter in the trenches.
furthermore, the allies believe that
if there Is an early peace It will be
upon their terms unless matters take
a sudden and unexpected turn.
The British government believes the
Germans want peace before the winter
sets in. There have been several de
velopments in the past few weeks,
British officials believe, that indi
cate that Germany has been attempt
ing to ascertain on w hat terms Great
Britain would consent to an early
' peace.;
! The fact that Germany has yielded
I to America on the question of eub-
marine warfare is considered here as
proof that the kaiser's government la
billing to make concessions toward
peace.
"If Germany goes so far as to
squelch Grand Admiral von Tirpitz to
please the United States, then you may
consider that Prussian militarism has
been t-truck Its first blow," was the
way It was put to me tonight. In
his Guild hall speech of August, 1914,
Premier Asquith said that the menace
of Prussian militarism must be re
moved forever before England will
consent to peace.
"Great Britain will not stand before
the world as the opponent of peaca.
But ahe will not change her original
demand for the liberation of Belgium
and French territory and the removal
of the Prussian menace. The Germans
appear to be trying to enlist the aii
of President Wilson and the pope. If
they are In earnest and will agree to
the allies' terms, a peace pact may
easily be arrived at."
