CLAfflTHE SHIP
Maro Thought He Was Eligible to
Command a Cruiser.
AN OLD TIME NAVAL PRANK.
The Shabby Trick That' Was Playad
Upon' a Patriotio Ortsk Boilermaker
by Some of Unci 8am'a Bailor With
Whom Ha Had Shippad.
"A number of yems ago the cruiser
ou which I was serving ghlppcd a boll
ermnker while we were ou (be Medi
terrancau statlou." suld a retired petty
olDcer of the navy. "Our former boll
eruiaker's time expired while we were
at Gibraltar, nod as he was not in good
physical ahnpe be wasn't re-enlisted,
but took bis discbarge and returned to
the United States by mall steamer. Bo
the ship was sby a bulleruiukcr, a very
Important and uecessary potty otllcer
dowu below In tbe engineers depart
ment, and when tbe ship pulled into
Naples barbor tbe chief engineer went
ashore to see if be couldn't dig up a
bollcrmaker.
"There wus a claiwe In the enlist
meut reguluilous permitting command
ins olUccrs to ship ueeoiwiiry men on
forclgu stations In short banded emer
gencies. The chief engineer brought
back to the snip a Greek uamed Char
lie Man The mnn couldn't rpr-nk any
English to sHak ot. but be was a
good mini at the bollermaktus busi
ness, aud be was duly shipped aboard
of us for three yenrs. He was a wild,
hnlry looking lot, Mnro was. and be
got a Rood dcnl of a la nub at, tbe
bauds of tbe crew, especially tbe
youiiKcr fellows, from the time be drat
came over the side.
"Maro thought that there wasn't any
other country .on the map except
Greece, nnd nftcr he pot bold of enough
English to mnke himself understood be
uxed to take nome of tbe young appren
tice boys up Into tbe eyes of the ship
and tell them, with many gesticula
tions ii ikI furloUH words, of the differ
eut kinds of ttir Greece could knock
out of Turkey
"The Mhlp was around on the. Pacific
statlou when' tho war broke out be
tween Greece nnd Turkey. When the
uews of the outbreak of tbe war got to
Maro, our bollermukcr. he nearly hod
heart disease aud a whole lot of other
sudden thliiRs from pure excitement
He just couldn't bold himself In, be
looked ao tickled.
" 'Da Greek man wllla blm, blm, blm,
da Taurka man,' was Charlie Maro's
way of putting It and be didn't see
that the Turk bad a ghost of a show.
All hands forward encouraged him In
the belief. They 'all acquiesced In ex
pressing the belief to Mnro that Greece
would simply eut Turkey up. Then a
bo'sun's mate who knew hw to crack
the most tmpoMble Jokes with a face
as solemn nnd wooden as nn Indian's
took Charlie In hand nnd told til m some
things llo told Maro that tlio United
States was so much In sympathy with
Oici-cc lu-tlie struggle with Turkey
that the navy deportment hud decided
to turn over all of the ship of the
American nnvy to Greek columnndors.
" 'Here's a chance for you, Mnro.'
the bo'sun's mate told Maro. 'You Just
want to work your edge. Hero yon nro
already shipped on this cruiser, and It's
dollars to dotighnau that if yon ask
for tho command of this ship in order
to take her over to Greece to mix It op
with the Turk you'U get It hands
down. Butter try It on.'
That Idea Impressed Maro a heap.
IJe asked tbe bo sun's mate whom he'd
bar to apply to to get command of the
cruiser.
M 'Why, to the commanding officer, of
course,' waa the reply.
Maro was tremendously Important
for a day or so while he let tbla huge
Idea grow within blm, und be bullied
the men detailed to work with blm
down below In tbe holler room a good
deal. Tbe bo'sun's mate kept working
him up to It and Anally Maro appeared
on deck one morning togged out In his
very best mustering suit of bluejacket
clothes and went up to tbe olllcer of
the deck and asked permission to see
tbe commanding olllcer at tbe mast
Tb officer of the deck was rather sur
prised to ace the man all done tip in
his niiiHierlng togx when all bands
were at work; hut. au be la obliged to
do wheu aim-iii luted mini requests per
mission to see tho commanding officer,
be sent word to tbe skipper, who soon
emerged from bis ranlo and appeared
at 'the stick.'
"'Well, my inunr said tbe skipper to
Maro, who stood tioii upright and sa

He suddenly bolted for the engine

at the skipper's mimnnml. gave Mom

WILLAMETTE FLOOD
IS HOW STATIONARY
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Portland, Feb. 12-Five feet high
er than flood stage, the Willamette
river remained stationary today and
the government weather bureau
promised that It would stay that way
until neat week."
Unless a further sudden rise in the
Columbia river occurs, the street of
Portland will not be flooded.
Beyond a few minor river accldenta
and the flooding of several thousand
acres ot farm land near Portland,
little damage baa been done fey the
flood thus far.
The water at Portland la at the
highest stage recorded for seven
years.
No word waa heard early today
from the steamboat Tahoma, frozen
in the ' ice In tbe upper Columbia
sine January 2. Yesterday she waa
threatened by the slowly-moving Ice,
and efforts were made to take off the
five men aboard. Tugs were unable
to reach her, but the deckhands said
they were in no immediate danger.
ANOTHER PROTEST
DUE FROM ALLIES
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
London, Feb. 12. The allies will
protest to America If Secretary Lans
ing accepts the new German policy of
attacking armed merchant ships with
out warning, It was learned on good
authority today. Their objection wIU
be based on the fact that after the
outbreak of the war America an
nounced she would permit merchant
men, armed for "defensive purposes"
to enter American ports.
A change In this policy in the midst
of the war Is regarded by the allies
as unneutral.
"There may be a landslide in
November that will sweep away Pre
sident Wilson with bis trimming
policies," said tbe Globe, editorially,
today in discussing the situation.
French Ambassador Jusserand to
day called on Secretary Lansing and
gave views coinciding with those ot
the British envoy, opposing the jus
tice and legality of the Teuton pro
posals.
A TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN.
Genaral Gobin Spoka en "Lincoln From
. a Soldiar'a Viewpoint.''
At a Lincoln birthday meeting In
Philadelphia General John P. 8. Go
bin. the famous Pennsylvania soldier,
told of tbe great veneration which the
soldiers In tbe Union army felt for the
president and the Inspiration their
chief executive was to them on the
field of battle.
General Gobln said In part:
"Lincoln's personality reveals every
attribute of tbe highest type of Ameri.
can manhood.
"His state papers are read with In
terest and reverence as we learn the
circumstances which produced them.
Colonel Ingersoll, In his estimate of
Lincoln, epitomized his character aa
the grandest figure of tbe fiercest civil
war waged in history.
"Thus he stands before us today aa
a soldier, citlzcu nnd statesman, real
izing the responsibility imposed upon
him as equal to If not greater than
that assumed by any otber man. And
every act of bis life, every thought of
his henrt. was toward the best method
for preserving the nation and saving
tbe Union.
"No mnn bad a higher regard for
courage than Lincoln. Lincoln always
stood forth as equal to tbe occasion
and a most perfect type of American
manhood."
