The Diary of all-Boat Commander (Copyright, 1917, by tho New York Herald Co.—All Rights Reserved) (Copyright Canada by New York Herald Company) (Translated from the Original German by Irving R. Bacon) 1015—20 July A big steamship from America I essfd within less than a thousand j ards of us at half-past five o'clock j lis morning, sixty miles south ot te Irish coast. Evidently our peri ;ope was not seen by her, as she ept cn the even tenor of her way ithout any apparent excitement sb:ird. She presented a fine ap-, earnnce. T wondered whether she arrieo rnvfhing which would have; igalized the sinking of her. The torpedoes lay ready in the I ihes. A slight pressure upon an | lectric button and this grand, ma- j •stic looking steamship would have j een .lunk at the bottom of thej cean. My Angers glided playfully i cross the fateful button. A whim. I ciprice, a passing, fitful twinge of | yspeptic pain, almost any trifling I ntoward accident might have im- j piled mo If rress the button; and | uother L>us!tanla horror would have laken the world and sent execra or.s against us Prussians a-shouting own the corridors of time to the itcst generations. I thought of that Greek youth who cn an everlasting name —albeit an ifamous one —by firing the Temple ' Diana. "A slightly heavier pres ire upon this button than I am ex •llng row." T thought, "and your ime. Hans von Tuebinger, \%ill on ,ire through all the ages. Half the >nt\nent of Europe will treasure >ur name as a precious heirloom to ? handed down with gratitude from ■neration to generation; but the! her half of Europe and the rest of 0 w6rld will be filled, with loathiijg you are mentioned." * T thought also of the women and lildren aboard that beautiful eamship, and away went every ves- 1 ?e of that awful instinct of am tion which is so prone, selfishly to 1 crlfiee half a world for no other irpose than to see one's own name nfolazoned in the temple of fame hich for the most part, as far as irriors are concerned, should be lied the temple of infamy Less than an hour after the ves -1 had passed out of our sight an! iglisli patrol boat came along.

I have learned f- respect Fritz lunig's advice to ruch an extent at I never take any decisive step importance to the U-boat without nsulting him. I sent for him and Id the situation before him. "By all means let us rise to the 1 rface and give the Britisher a 1 ste of our B-inch gun," said Fritz. I'e can submerge within less than If a minute and, after changing r position, rise again, and if we .ve not done sufficient execution by 1 e first shot, we can give them an- i Get Busy! Get Busy!

[ other shell and dive again before j they can get our range." Scarcely had our conning tower : appeared above the surface than tho i patrol banged at us with her G-inch fifles. In this respect the Britishers had the advantage over us, for wo could not begin to operate our rifle until we were awash with the deck. Besides, they had the longer range. Still, we were sufficiently close to ! them—about five thousand yards— [ to make our shot as affective as if i fired at point blank. And, more | over, we had a gunner aboard Jul j ius Halbert, who boasted that he had 1 never yet missed Ills mark and who j was, so to speak, a genius in re ; gard to marksmanship. The shells of the enemy were fall- I ing within from two hundred to as ; near as fifty yards of us, when our } gun roared back her reply. The J shell landed amidships and must j have raised the.devil in the patrol's engine room. We did not wait to watch developments. After sub merging the imagery on the perl scope disk disclosed the result of Halbert's aim. A gap larger than a porthole had been torn in the side of the vessel, and the havoc pro duced inside had thrown even the well flisciplined crew into no little confusion. Evidences of this could be seen on deck, where men were running hither and thither, as if great excitement was prevailing aboard. Owing to the damage to the pa trol's machinery we managed in a short while by dead reckoning, as we dared not show our periscope -above water, to get from her star board to her port side, at about the same distance as before. Then, rising again, we landed another shell on her water line, and once more dived before the gunners could get our range although they did plant some of their shells confoundedly clone to us. "Now," said Fritz, "I suppose Hans, you are going to give them the torpedo cure?" Again working by dead reckon ing, we got to within two thousand yards, although the effective range of our torpedoes was more than three thousand yards, and came to the surface close enough to barely project the top of the periscope. Only for a moment, however, for those fellows aboard the patrol boat were certainly alert and began pop ping at us the very instant the peri scope was seen by them. They missed by a close margin and af forded me enough time to telescope at the same instant that I fired the torpedo. When we had shifted our position to an entirely new point of the com pass I ventured up with the perl scope again. This time there was no attempt to fire at us. The guns of the patrol were forever silent. She had been hit squarely below the water line almost amidships and was listing over toward us at a peri lous angle. The crew was getting into the lifeboats, some of which were already headed In tho direction of land. "Is It your pleasure to do away with them?" asked Halbert, poking his head In at the door of the con ning tower. He had watched pro ceedings through the second perl scope and his gunner's Instinct craved for play. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well." he replied with a strange grin, "they are enemies." "You mean that we should Are Into the lifeboats?" "Quite so. They surely would not hesitate to treat us In that way If our roles were exchanged." "Halbert I shall report you to the Admiralty. Many ignoble acts have been imputed to us Germans, but never yet lias it entered the mind of any U-boat commander to think of shooting down helpless men merely because they wear a differ ent uniform than ours. Your sug gestion is as unpatriotic as it is in human. You may remain in your cabin during the rest of our trip un less it becomes necessary for me to employ your services again." The man saluted, clicked his heels together and went to his cabin. I went about to set the air ap paratus a-going to expel the water ballast, in order to rise to tho surface, when there appeared on the disk a streak of black smoke low on the horizon northeast. A wait of several minutes was rewarded by the sight of two destroyers and a cruiser hurrying in our direction. Tho wireless calls from the sinking patrol were being answered. It would have been worse than fool hardy to try conclusions with so many ships at one time. So we re mained below, removing to a dis tance where we could see without danger of being seen. But it seems that the glint of the sun must have betrayed lis to the oncoming vessels, for they all began firing simultane puslj , and some of the shells struck the water so uncomfortably near that I lost every bit of curiosity to con tinue the observation. Satisfied that we had done a good day's work and with practically the whole day still before us, we left this too precarious vicinity and traveled un der water toward Heligoland. I was desirous of reaching our base again. In regard to the gunner, Fritz has shr.ken my resolution. He gave me ona of his characteristic talks, the result of which is to have left me in doubt just where my duty lies. "Have you forgotten what I told you about Eglau, the time Tiemann was called into your conclave?" said Fritz. "This young gunner is ultra-patriotic not naturally fiend ish. The chances are that in all personal matters he is as kind and good matured as Tiemann, but when the Fatherland is concerned both of them lose judgment altogether and believe they are serving their coun try, their Kaiser and their God by reducing the number of their coun try's enemies. Another thing—don't forget that Halbert never misses the object he aims at. If you lose li'm you lose one of your chief as sets. Even if he were murderously inclined by nature he would be too precious for U-boat purposes to make the removal of him desir able." "But, Fritz you don't mean to Justify the encouragement of mur der on the ground that it may be beneficial to the one who employs the murderer?" "Not the way you put It," replied EARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH , Frliz. "No honest. Justice loving person would ever think of hiring u murderer to deal with an enemy. But what I mean in regard to Hal beri is that he is as useful to you as Is the electricity which runs your boat. If you gfve full, unbridled scope to the electric current it will scatter ruin all about; so if ycu give reins to Halbert But both ore fortunately susceptible of being checked. He as well as ulectricity is an extremely dangerous master, but as servants where could you find anything more'obedient or useful?" (To be continued.) Knights of Columbus Deny • Report of Controversy An ugly report has been given na tion-wiclo circulation particularly through newspapers which are served by the International News Service in which it is said that a controversy exists between the Knights of Columbus and the Ma-, sonic fraternity, regarding work at the Army camps. This has been emphatically denied by Col. P. H. Callahan, chairman of the Knlgiita of Columbus Committee on War Ac tivities. "It Is a mistake that there is any fight or controversy of any kind be tween the Masons and the Knights of Columbus," said Col. Callahan. "The Knights of Columbus are work ing in the Army camps not as a lodge, but as the representatives of the Catholic people of this country. This was made necessary by reason of the fact that Catholics are not permitted to have any control or representation or to hold any office In the Y. M. C. A. Our work is purely social, recreational and re ligious ip character; it is for the benefit of the soldiers regardless of their church or lodge affiliations, and no meetings are to be held within our buildings to which all men in uniform will not be welcome. We do not oppose the entrance of the Masons or any other fraternal so ciety into the camps and we shall be glad to extend to them any courtesies or assistance within our power."

If not the most beau tiful upland in England, several miles from London, is situated the Ameri can Camp. There I found the van guard of our tremendous army, soon to be sent overseas. Our party of Journalists, carefully shepherded by an official from the Foreign Office, was motored to the edge of a plateau dotted with white and brown specks. The white specks slowly resolved themselves into rows of tents and the brown specks Into khaki-clad soldiers. Two magnifi cent silk flags greeted us—one pre sented by Governor Beekman of Rhode Island. On another flag pole the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack twined and twisted together. The turf mads me think of the American woman who asked a Brit ish gardener how he made the grass look like velvet. "You roll It, nnd roll It, and roll it and keep on rolling it for A thousand years," he told her. Far away are low, undulating hills, while the slopes and meadows are covered with a mauve and magenta carpet—Scotch and English heather growing together. Our men say that the round bell tents of the British in which they are housed are the finest over. Ono of them told me more about them. "When it blows you have to go out and tighten the ropes," he said: "when it rains you loosen them, when it rains and blows you sit on the floor In the middle of the tent and hope for the worst." Each tent houses eight men and in one we are Invited to Inspect the tenants —men who come from Cali fornia, lowa, Illinois, Maine, Florida Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Texas. The kits, piled in the center of each tent, weigh seventy-eight pounds. There are no flies anywhere—and TIO odor, except the pungent one of cooking. Wo reached the out-of-door culin ary section Just in time to see the queues form, each man holding an aluminum outfit, cup and platter— knife, fork and spoon. The platter has both a handle and a cover. The former Is handy when eggs and ba con are cooked in the morning, and the latter holds a "side" of vege tables. We saw served a substan tial dinner—soup, coffee, mutton and two vegetables—squash and potatoes After eating the men filed to kettles of boiling water, washed the dishes and rinsed them at pumps. If a man wants a second slice of bread they let him have It—but grad ually the American soldier is being trained out of the idea that "he hasn't enough to eat unless there is something to throw away." Did you ever smell camp cooking on an English upland In September, cooking done In small, narrow tren ches dug In the ground, zigzagged with metal strips on which the ket tles are placed, a woodflre uhder neath? Believe me. It is good! The ronsting is done in what our men call 'Mexican Ovens' ovens that have been used for a long time by British campers. They are shell shanert. se-mtovals of metal covered with clay In which a hot fire is made raked out, the articles to be cooked placed therein, and the entrance clayed up,—in reality a flreless cook er on a large scale. Every one of our regiments has brought the full complement of army cooks. Be sides these, there is a kitchen police OCTOBER 19. 1917. for which men are drafted to clear away and do odd Jobs. Of course the British Tommy oo*n ments on the American accent, and in the oft hours when the men fra ternize our men admit that it Is hard to "get onto the Atkins line of talk." outside of this they are chary of criticism. Husky, healthy, firm-muscled chaps are our regulars. They say they have grown soft on board ship, but are remedying this with dally drills and long hikes. There la no doubt but that Mr. Atkins is a trltle smarter in his getup. Our men have splendid teeth and are not quite so blase ns Tommy, not so "fed up" with everything, particularly the war. One of the British soldiers who was guiding us about pointed to a man on the drill ground and said "See that chap, he had lots of bits chipped oft him at Mons." It's the casual way in which Mr. Atkins says this that makes the impression. Our men are In splendid condition Stomach Upset? Stop Indigestion, | Gases, Sourness-Pape's Diapepsin I t . ~ I Instant Relief! Neutralize stomach acidity and stop > dyspepsia, pain, heartburn, belching. Try it! :] Wonder what upset your stomach —which portion of the food did the damage—do you? Well, don't both er. If your stomach i's in a revolt; if sick, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turned sour; head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate undigested food; breath foul, tongue coated —just take a little Pape's Dia pepsin to help neutralize acidity and in five minutes you wonder what be came of the indigestion and distress. Millions of men and women to-day know that It Is needless to have dys the allied feeling grows stronger and stronger every day and, judging from the tightening of Jaws, from the llrm look In the eyes, from the something indefinable about the set of the shoulders when the word War is mentioned, we know they intend to do their part to bring about a glorious peace—a peace which will Include the civilization and freedom for which their forefather fought. "Why, this war Is the biggest|| stunt pulled oft in two thousande years," one of the boys said to m
