Bacon) 1913—1 January Nothing short ot a miracle saved i from destruction at the very resholcl of the New Year. I thank ice. door Lord for this Thy mercy, id also for the glorious achieve ent which at the same time Thou is vouchsafed me. After having been all but run iv.n l>v u British ship it fell to our t to destroy that floating fortress. It lacked a few minutes of three [-lock this morning when I relieved •itz, who had been watching all gilt. 1 had been unable to sleep, rcmonitions of some * impending s:ister —a disagreeable, apprehen io reeling which probably every idy has experienced now and then kept nu' awake. Somehow I con ■i ted it with Minna and could not •ike off the fear that some calam • had befallen ber. Even prayer, at sweet and almost always ef ot vc par acea for ills not purel> lysual. failed this time to allay v anxiety. . , ... Fritz was worn out and gladly ailed himself of my offer to let M get to bed. Ile had scarcely 't the tower when I heard, faintly first but rapidly growing more id more distinct, a sound not un mtliar to those who are at homes in bniarines —the whirring of the of the screw of a steamship, e were travelling slowly, ur knots, submerged about tir t-n feet. I quickly sheered off away om the direction of the sound and the same time approached the rface close enough to use the P®"- ,pe. outlined distinctly on the '■ could see tlie vast hull, which had relv missed ramming our boat. Another instant and a torpedo was unched. striking our adprsary midships, midway between the keel id thf water line. This was at pre sely three o'clock. Within half an mr the 15.000 ton fighting machine is resting on the bottom of the innnel. , . jiv camera obscura showed me Mv camera ofscura showed me the ilcscrlbably chaotic scene during is exciting half hour preceding e sinking of the vessel, l'ritz had me back and standing silently near e, was also watching the remark le picture on the disc.

Many must also have per ished in the explosion; hundreds, I probably- I felt no such qualms of conscience this time as last October. , when we sank an enemy submarine. | Fritz also appeared to be elated and ' became more talkative. "Congratulations. 'Hans," he said- I "If you keep up this record of sink • ings you will have to get a subma rine trailer to hold all vour medals." "For thou has been As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing: A man that fortune's buffets and rewards I Hast taken with equal thanks." "Judged by merit, Fritz" I said, "no number of Iron Crosses could ever be an adequate reward for you." "It were better for the if j people had as much real, unfeigned, I sincere admiration for the cross of j the Crucified One as they have for [ the Iron Cross." replied Fritz. "This is a* revelation to me," I saidj "I never even dreamed that you entertained so great a reverence for religion I had gotten the im pression that you believed in noth ing and that you considered death to be the wind-up and period of ex istence." "No. Hans. I am a devout believer in 'religion,' but not in 'religions.' I regard it absurd to deny that there is a spiritual something behind the phenomenal world. For all physi cal nature bristles at every point with mysteries wKich can be ex plained only on the assumption of a spiritual background. But, 're ligions'—the man ipsuln dogmas, dressed in rituals —-that's another story. "And, as for death, do not believe that it spells annihilation. Death is but the portal to another kind of existence. It is re-enfranchisement of that which constitutes one's real esro—one's Will, which as I have often explained to you, is that con stant, unchanging factor within us which loves, hates, desires, dreads, hopes, fears, rejoices, suffers and, in a word, is subject to all the pas sions and emotions, in contradiction to the Intellect, which plays the part of a speetior, residing temporarily in our body's attic, the brain of which it is merely a function." "If you go so far." I suggested, "why not go the whole length ? Of the many extant religions there sure ly must be one that fits your case." "There is; it is Philosophy. To me, as to nearly all who really think, philosophy ministers all the consolations of a religion. There is an instinct in everybody which prompts him to desire to know something about life's problems which science should not even pre- I tend to be able to solve. 1913—1 April. There is something exhilaratinar in this business of butchery. God! how I have changed! I remember I with what soul agony I fired the tor pedo which settled the fate of a British battleship and sent hundreds of men to perdition. Now no such spiritual qualms torment me. I feel as free as the air, and to send forth a torpedo on its errand of death has become to me scarcely more than to hurj a ball over the course of a howling alley The toppling over of the pins when the bail strikes them is less exciting to me only In de gree than the destruction of a war and its crew. Since the blackade of Great Brit ain there has been no dearth of ad venture. God knows I have need of excitement of some sort. Minna is in my thoughts constantly. Noth ing except the hunt and chase and fights with these hostile boats can ease m.v mind. Fritz says It is for tunate I am not addicted to liquor or I wouJd be drunk all the time. Between battles and my beloved diary I manage to keep my thoughts off the one tormenting theme long enough to prevent me from becom ing insane. For a while, before the era of promiscuous U-boat carnage was inaugurated by Admiral von Tirpitz. there was plenty of leisure aboard our boat. For a while, to get rid of my haunting memories, I played cards. Fritz played once or twice to gratify me, but then declared that he would rather lie dead at the bottom of the sea than waste more time in that way. - "Unless a person makes a busi ness of trying to win money at cards, or by any other mode of gambling," he said. "I can account in only one way for a desire to play—that is poverty of intellectual equipment. Anybody who has a mind of the right calibre and well stocked with knowledge will never suffer from ennui to such an ex tent as to need to banish it with cards. "You see, Hans the passionate gamblers (not the professional whose avowed purpose Is to win money), the men and women of society, who make their chief amusement con sist in bridge or whist or other games of hazard, are intellectually bank rupt. You will remember that I told you that the Will, the source of all our cravings, is lord and master of our being, while the mind is its servant That this is so is shown hourly by most persons in the slav ish subservience of their minds to the dictates of their Will. Nothing that does not minister, to the crav ing of their Wiil is of Interest to their Intellect. And in whatever pertains to the furtherance of the welfare of their Will their Intellect is amazingly shrewd and keen. "Now, when a person of this sort has his nose to the grindstone, as the saying is, and has to toil for a livelihood his mind is kept busy on the treadmill and life Is full of in terest to him. But if by chance he acquires wealth or at least a com petence, and need no longer worry about the morrow, his mind loses its incentive for activity. The Will no longer applies the spur and lash to keep the brain busy and the latter not only rests but actually falls asleep and stagnates. The Will, however, does not cease to crave: but as the Intellect no longer sup piles any motives this craving is not directed to any definite object and a void, a dull, deadening ennui, re sults. "To take ttie place of the legiti mate motives which have ceased some ingenious fiends incarnate have Invented gambling, and this now be comes the one all-absorbing motive to allay the cravings on the insat iable Will." "But it is not ennui with me, Fritz," I urged; "It is despair, de spair on account of Minna." "Then paint her portrait again. Paint it a hundred times, each time to reflect a different phase of char acter," retorted Fritz. "Head, write —do anything but gamble. It Is not a worthy occupation for a jnind which I know to be far abov™ that of the factory made product of hu manity, such as we brand as vulgus, Poebel, mob, hoi polloi, canaille."
