Fourteen days after rounding the Horn, we picked an Interesting aud rather puzzling wireless out of the air: Seemlier gone down with flags fly-ing. Commander and part of crew taken prisoners and on their way to Montevideo. "What's thatr I thought "By Joe, Johnny Bull Is telling a whopper." Now, when old John Bull tells a fib. you can bet, by Joe, that he has gooa reason tr it We tried to figure it out, and came to the conclusion that It had something to do with the scare we had created. The news that our prisoners had given out at Mo had iient Lloyd's rates skyward and caused nnny ships to lie In harbor until the dinger from the German raider had biown over. The British, In order to bring Lloyd's rates down and to liber-ate all the shipping that bad been tied up, took pains to spread a highly col-ored report of our disaster dressed up with suitable Imaginative trimmings to make It more convincing. atlng waa new enemies and fewer friends. The American declaration of war came as a blow expected, but bard nevertheless. Some of the mors pes-simistic of us could spell the doom of Germany In it It altered tha position of our buccaneering expedition some-what too. It reduced the number of neutral ports Into which we might sail. It also increased the number of cruis-er we had to look out for. However, neutral ports did not en-ter Into our calculations much. All ports really were hostile, anyhow. Neutrals would limit ns to a short, In-hospitable stay, the wireless atatlons nearby would broadcast our presence, and the cruisers would come flocking The American naval ships didn't mean much, either. They would doubtless lie kept, nearly all of them, to guard the Atlantic shipping lanes for the passage of American troop vransports and leave what patrol of the Taclfic was necessary to the British and Jap--! anese. The principal change of cir-cumstance for us was thnt now we could tnke American prizes. I We steered across the Pacific past the Marquesas, fur lo the south of Hawaii. We made 'Lis waters near Christmas Island our iruislng ground. There, near the equitor, the east-boun- d and west-boun- routes for sail-ing ships crossed. We sailed back-ward and forward, croislng the equa-tor two and three timet; each day. We captured three t me r I can ships lo these waters, the a. B. Johnson, the R. a Slade, and the Manila. Our prisoners npnibercd fortj-flv- e men, one woman, and a pet opossum. ' The captains were not half so as tonlshed and bewildered as the for-mer captains when we unmasked our-selves aa a buccaneer. Tbey knew that the sailing ship raider was abroad. So we were deprived of some of our former amusement of astounding and befuddling' officers and crews by suddenly hoisting the German flag, unmasking our cannon, firing n mnchlna mm Into their rip. "Well, Johnny Bull," I thought, "we'll fi you." Our wireless operator, s very capa-ble fellow, worked out a scheme with me. "Sparks" sent out the following message purporting to come from a British ship: SOS-r-SO- S Cerman sub ... He cut the message short, as If In-terrupted, to make It seem as If at that moment the ahlp had been tor-pedoed. After s suitable Interval he sent out another call, this one merely report-ing German submarines off the coast of Chile. Did Lloyd's rates go ufl again 1 And did those ships that were getting ready to put to sea put back to their berths? Well, you can bet your boots they did. And we sent out other sub-marine warnings every so often Just to keep our little joke alive. These were all small Injuries, but we had been sent out to harass the en-emy, and this was one way of doing it What more could you expect of a lone windjammer? And then, It's these Injuries all added together that more often than not win the day. It was good sport for us, anyhow. Our course was northward, with the Chilean coast and the Andes almost In sight We steered almost to the Galapagos tslands, and at Bobloson Crusoe's Island, San Juan Fernandez, we trimmed our sails and turned our bow west We sailed for weeks on the broad expanse of the Pacific with-out sighting ship. Except for the occasional crackle of the wireless, we were alone In the world. Our wireless antennae kept us in touch with the latest phase of the In-ternational situation. Nor was It particularly pleasant on those long Idle days at sea to sit and meditate on the fact that the United States was going into the war against us. We sailors knew better than some of our people at borne the tremendous pow er of the great republic of the West. There were closeted statesmen and generals who might talk as they pleased about the American lack of military preparedness and the Impos-sibility of American troops being mus-- , toroH anil anfflrlentlv trained in time glng, and similar pleasantries. Rv. Srything went off according to rou-tine. On one occasion we ran Into a most Intricate complication. We had ex-pected the complications of war and piratical strategy. That was part of the game. But at the time to which I refer we were faced with a new and tender complication, a romatlc com-plication. "He's got his wife along," Boarding Officer Prelss informed me. lie referred to an officer of one of the ships. Indeed, we had noticed a woman aboard the captured ship. The officer In question presently In-troduced me to his helpmate, and a knockout ahe was, pretty, petite, and well, Just n bit roguish. "By Joe," I thought, "the sailors of these days are marvelous fellows. Where do they get these swell-lookin- g wives? When I was In the forecas-tle, It was different" In those days an officer's wife was something to run away from usual-ly fat, usually savage, and always sloppily dressed. I thought of all the windjammer captains under whom had sailed, and I couldn't think of one who had a wife that looked like a chorus girl. Well, times do change! There, was the captain we had cap-tured In the Atlantic who had such a pleasant little bride, and now here was this officer and . bis sprightly beauty. I guess 1 can also ad- - myself to the list Mere 1 am, skipper of a peaotful windjammer now, taking my three-mast- the Vaterlnnd around the orld, and I have my wife along, t have already described Irma, the fairy princess of my green Islund In the Cunaries. Yes, sailors' wives have improved in looks these days. Aboard the Seeadler we greeted the pretty little lady with great cordiality. Our former fair company had been so pleasant that we anticipated an-other similar brightening of the dull monotony aboard. The monotony was indeed broken somewhat 1 But In a decidedly different way than we had expected. The officer had not been long aboard before be took me aside and made an awkward and somewhat quiet The sailors must think that s.h.e .Is the wife of the officer of the and that ... Is only a friend." . They made some kind of change, 1 believe. I never could figure Just how It was. 1 never was mucb good at mathematics or at figuring out any-thing, for that matter. At any rate, they kept It quiet The other prison-e- r was married, too, and he didn't want anything of the complicated ro-mance to get around either. I had come to expect my prlsonera to be good company. Our former Cap-tains' club had been one of the most delightful social organizations ever formed. These two sentimental swains, however, were not much good for comradeship. It was difficult to get together with thera for a pleasant chat or game of cards. They were always thinking about the girl, and, although they were acquaintances In captivity, their feelings toward each other had become slightly strained. There is something about, the air down there In the South Seas, I guess. One of the captains made up for the companionship that had been lack-ing, lie was a One fellow.' He was jovial and Intelligent, and a thorough seaman If there ever was one. We be-came fast friends and had many a long and sympathetic talk about the war. ; Weeks passed, and we did not see another ship. The Idle days became very boresoiue. It was broiling hot, and we had little exercise. Our water turned stale, and we had no fresh pro-visions. Our prisoners did not find their stay with us so pleasant now, but we could not find a vessel on which to ship them. One decided that he could not stand It any longer. He wanted to put tils feet on land at any price. He came to me with a strange idea. Would I not land bim on a des-ert Island and leave him there a cast-away? Anything was better than ship-board. But the principal part of bis plan was more subtle. He would be reckoned dead at home, and his peo-ple would collect bis Insurance money. Perhaps I would be so kind as to make it seem certain that he was lost Yes, no? On the Island he could live as a ttoblnson Crusoe, a kind of exlst- - embarrassed confession.' He bad been thinking things over. "Count," he said, 'In your reports you may say something about my hav-ing my wife along." "Yes," I replied. i i i i i i l i i i i l l 1 I I 1 1 I I I I I I I ence which be fancied would be quite agreeable. Unfortunately for him, I felt obliged to decline.

We sailors had trav-eled. Many of us had been In the United States and bad served on American ships. All fine technical points aside, we had had opportunity to sense the might of the North Amer-ican giant with Its numerous and virile population and Its Incalculable wealth. With Btich strength behind it, even an awkward, poorly aimed thrust was enough to push almost anyone over. We caught one radio dispatch that caused us to sit and gaze hopelessly Into the sky. It told of the famous Zlmmermann note. What madness had dictated that extraordinary state pa-per, which proposed to Mexico that she join Germany In the war and re-ceive In return a slice of American territory Including Texas? I had served as a soldier tn the Mexican army, and knew something of Its prob-able prowess In a war. A few Amer-ican regiments on the ' Rio Grande could hold back the Mexican army as easily as I can bold a child. And did our statesmen think the " Mexicans were such fools? The folly was one that could only enrage the people of the United States and make the Mex-icans laugh. We of the Germoo fight-ing forces could only curse the luck that had given our country such di-plomacy. All It succeeded lu negotl- - Some Time You will be in need of printing of some kind.

Britain Renounces Oak as Too Slow of Growth Reforestation plans In Great Britain call for very few oak saplings. Oak grows so slowly that It does not pay and It Is being superseded by larch. An oak at fifteen years Is worth noth-ing, but a lurch of that age will make good fence posts which will last in the open for at least twelve years. Oak Is the best for heavy gate posts but larch Is almost as good. Elm is best known for the making of coffins, but It Is useful for all Inside work and makes fine rafters. Unfortunately It rots when exposed to the weather. Beech, poplar and sycamore are all quite useless for fence making, for they rot quickly In the open. Spruce and sliver fir are not much better. Both will decay within five years. Oddly enough horse chestnut, though quite a soft wood, withstands bad weather better than a number of other trees. "W All Sing, You Know" A story Henry T.
