Minesweeping Affords Thrills at Every Turn

British Naval Officer Describes Fifteen Hours of Drenching and Buffeting When Suspense Kept Crew and Officials Silent. LONDON, March 29. -Minesweeping In the depth of winter is no child's Job, as the following account by a British naval officer shows: You will proceed at once to and will sweep the area marked ; on the accompanying chart." In some such wise ran the order which sent us hammering into the bead seas of a lively channel on a bitterly cold Sunday morning at four o'clock. Probably few of us on the staggering trawler at that hour reflected that the duty of sweeping that give narea had been Imposed upon us by a discovery made in the Far East, when Japan and Russia entered upon costly tests of .modern naval fighting equipment to the benelt of keenly-interested spectators. That discovery was the offensive value of the submarine mine. Mines Cause Losses. "Despite the great lead in results obtained by Japan in the initial stages of the war, it was found at the final balance that while Russia had lost fourteen warships by Japanese mines, her belated activity In the use of mines bad deprived Japan of ten warships. The mines had done almost as much harm to the respective navies as the ships had been able to inflict upon each other. "It takes a tight vessel to survive the welter and smother of the waters which can rise so quickly in the vicinity of the banks. Our trawler is one of the best of the staunch type, and she reeled along wonderfully on that Sunday morning. Somewhere In the darkness to starboard there showed through the whirling snow the lights of another vessel running on the same course as ourselves, and at the same speed apparently. "The dawn came up and showed her to be kin to us, and the signals at once made it clear that in her we beheld our sweeping partner. There arises a curious respect for him. He must know quite well over there that at any moment the plunging bows may meet at any time, and there would be a vacancy at his end of the drag tackle and vacancies In little cottages in the isles. Partner Knew Game. "Our partner on this particular expedition was an old friend, and knew his work? Arrived at the appointed area the little vessels ran close in and the gear was linked up. It was smart work even for trawlers. The trawling shipper is never called upon to acknowledge letters of thanks from grateful passengers recovering from a great and groundless scare, but he can handle his ship with the best of the men who write after their name the Board of Trade "extra." The linkingup of the gear marked the opening of the day's work. The little vessels separated, found their distance nicely in the teeth of the wind, and started off. The whole operation was carried through with scarcely a word uttered, and the long day's work was under weight. Hour after hour, in rain, hail or snow, "smooth sea or storm sea," careful drag is kept at the gleaning. "In the months of winter the mine sweepers have carried on their work under conditions of great severity. They must have kept the sea as minesweepers when as trawlers, they would have fled to the shelter of their WORLDCK'S The Original MALTED MILK Union you mmy "HORLIOK'S" you mmy got m Submtltuto Order a Pretty EASTER BASKET of FLOWERS Now for Easter.

harbors. If there have been frozen feet In the trenches, there have .been frozen fingers on the seas. "In some cases the bluff bowa that smashed into the seas found the mines and there were vacancies at the ends of the drag tackle. We had tome indication - of the experiences which trawlers have undergone in their splendid . work. Fifteen hours of drenching and buffeting were our portion that day. The vessel, with the pull of the tackle and the drive of the engines keeping her life a half-tide rock, was never clear of sweeping seas. Thud, slap, . crash and swish of the seas as they came over her bows and swirled along the deck, never ceased ah day.

FARMER'S WIFE PREFERS MOVIES TO DISTRIBUTION OF FREE SEEDS

WASHINGTON, March 29. The American farm housewives' attitude to-1 ward life In the rural districts of the United States Is reported In a compilation of excerpts from letters written by farm women in every section of the country to Secretary of Agriculture House, made public today. The compilation presents one of the most intimate human documents ever issued by a government department, for the compiler, G. W. Wharton, chief of the department's office of information, lets the women writers tell their own story. Secretary Houston wrote to 65,000 farmwives asking them to write what they thought of life on the American farm, and what need to be done to better the condition of m women. He received 2,241 replies. T- information received from the women will be : used in the administration of the new Smith-Lever co-operative agricultural extension law which provides $10,000 government money for each states, for use in aiding farmers. Many are Contented. Many of the women writers express contentment with farm life but others complain bitterly of their lot. Government ownership of railroads, telephone and telegraph, better mail service and good roads are asked by - scores of wives. The extracts from the letters
