John J. Shively, Son of Late Senator Wins His Commission on the "line

Mrs. Benjamin F. Phivcly, formerly of South IJend. and now residing In New Haven. Conn., is in receipt of two interesting letter from her fon, John J. Shively, recently commissioned an enpineer ensign aboard the "Zrinyo," a captured Austrian battleship. Knsitfn Shively at the timp of writinp the first letter was cruising in tho Adriatic and other southern waters on a tJ. P. submarine chaser, during which period he showed such marked ability that he was granted a commission in recognition of his services, without having attended an officers' school. U. P. P. Leonidas, Care of Postmaster, New York, Dec. 6, 101S. Prar Mother: "Well! The censorship has Oeen raised at last, and I hardly know whore to bejjin. Can't write much this time anyway as it is lat at nisht. but I will tell a few things to give you a general idea of my whereabouts and doings for the last century, as it seems. "Ieft New Iyindon, anchored a day or two off Newport, then for liermuda. Struck a terrific storm, but weathered it (the "Cherokee" and the "Mariner," the latter of our flotilla, were both lost, all the "Mariner's" crew beintr saved, but less than a third of the "Cherokee's") and reached Itermuda the first of March. Left there for the Azores with a flotilla of nearly fifty ships of all sires, headed by the U. P. cruie- "Palom." Reached the Azores after twelve days at sea. Stayed there a week, then moed on to Cibralter. Hunted subs off Oibralter for a couple of days, destroyed one sub and damaged a second so that it limped into a Spanish port and wns interned. Cruised through the Mediterranean to Malta. Subs were reported on all sides of us during this trip, but they could not pet at the larger vessels, surrounded as the latter were by a defensive formation of chasers, and they were unable to break tip this formation. "After a few d ivs at Malta we moved on to Corfu, a Creek island off th coast of Albania, where we established a base. The French also have a l.irce base there, the British a small one. We arrlver there June 4th. Throughout the summer and fall until the siixnintr of the armistice with Austria, we maintained th "Otranto Harras.' which was a line of boat; across the Straits of Otranto. the narrow neck thro-i-h which al boats must pass to enter or leave the Adriatic sa. As practically all the enemy submarine bases for operations in the Mediterranean were in th Adriatic, this barrage was a formidable obstae'e in th way of their undersea campaign, as you can imagine. We had means of detecting the approach of the subs miles away, and of locating them exactly without ever seeing thorn. Once located, they received th benefit of fror. twelve to eighteen depth bombs each, and we hive the testimony of Austrian ofhYers that very few of the fortunate boats, which came Ciro-igh the barrage, came through uninjured. Po many sub left their base? and disappeared without trace, that the barrage became a terror to the remaining J-'ih crews, resulting In many mutinies and riots at the base, when the crews refrsed to attempt the pasvige through the straits. In the meantime the allies traxsported larce numbers of troops across the barrage to the cistern front, to g!v- the finishing punch to Bulgaria and AusTia. The chast rs also took part in various trips and expeditions, th mst import nt of which va:3 the raid on Durazzn

bay, of which you have probably read in the papers. "Pince the signing of the armis ice we've been cruising the eastern shore of the Adriatic, putting in at various porta. The Jugo-Plavs, who constitute the predominating nationality, are uproariously glad to see the American boats, and there is rot a little town along the coast that does not welcome the sight or the Stars and Stripes, even passing far In the distance, with the waving of flags, table cloths, shirts, and everything Imaginable, from every window, street corner and wharf. Just now we are at Spalato, a beautiful town on the Dalmatlon coast. I told you in my last letter of having transferred to this vessel for a change after the signing of the truce last month. I'll write In more detail next time, for I've been able in this letter to give only a few points or high spots in a mighty busy year. Hope before many months to be at home and to describe directly the towns we've visited and the times we've had In them. Just when or by what route I'll be homeward bound is somewhat vague as yet, but it can't be 'a very long time, now. Good cheer! Love to all. John. Gets Ills Commission. P. M. S. Zrlnyi. Via IT. P. P.

as it is long after midnight. I'm certainly busy these days tand nights) for I am second engineering officer on the "Zrinyi," a firstclass battleship captured from the Austrians. I have the commission of ensign engineer, which I received several months ago, before the fighting stopped. I did not wish to tell you about it until the last bit of red tape from Washington made assurance doubly sure, but the tape has all been unwound now, and I know you will be glad to know that a fellow can get a commission on the firing line, without attending an ofliceds school or exercising a pull. I have a fine stateroom, and the meals at the officers' mess are very good, so I am practically rolling in luxury', you might say. The other officers are fine fellows, and altogether the change from the chaser is a mighty welcome one to me. (I don't mean that the fellows on the chaser were any less fine, but refer to the change in the boats themselves.) We can't tell how soon we will be home but in any event it won't be long. If Uncle Sam keeps this dreadnought after peace Is signed, we'll run her back to the U. P.. but if he gives her to the Jugo-Slavs, which is more likely, we'll come home on a transport or a destroyer. The sooner it Is the better it will suit "mo whichever way we come. I'm petting along well in my job and having some splendid experience, fo have entire charge, under Lieut. Maddox, the chief engineer, of the whole gigantic mas of cteam machinery which keeps the Zrinyi "alive and kicking" throughout. The engines are monsters, but perfect in every detail, and the same condition, with some exceptions. exists in proportion throughout the whole mechanism. Must close for tonight, wishing you all a happy New Year. It is a happy one isn't It? Love to you. Aunt Ilatties, Mary and all. John.

SAYS HUSBAND WAS COLD TO HER; ASKS COURT FOR DIVORCE Charging that her husband was cold and indifferent to her, and that he volunteered In the army just to get away from her, not even coming to see ,her when he was discharged some weeks ago, Edna Randolph has filed suit In the superior court against Harold Randolph. The complaint on file declares that Harold has been living by himself since his discharge, and that he has asked her to obtain a divorce. Along with the complaint, however, there has been filed a general denial by Randolph, which seems to indicate that he will contest the divorce. The couple was married March 27, 1912 and separated Dec. IS 19 IS. C. OF C.

An addition to the fire department, probably company number 9. to bo located In River park, jcems to be assured, in view of a serious discussion of the matter by members of the board of public works at a meeting yesterday. The outcome of the discussion was that the board expressed itself in favor of building a hose house somewhere in that vicinity, and decided to look about for a suitable location. A large, fairly well built up community, together with the watch factory and a number of stores, all located in Iliver Park, are now a considerable distance from any fire station, it Is pointed out, and more protection must be furnished, members of the board say. By locating the proposed station near the Ernsberber st. bridge, protection tan be given also to property near Ppringbrook park from the same hose house. Companies 7 and 10, together with the central fire station, are the nearest branches of the fire department to this vicinity, and all are situated considerably more than a mile away, it is shown in the arguments for the tire station. Consider New Street. The board also considered the matter of opening a new street, to run between Ewing av. and Sample st., about half way between Anthony and Kaley sts. This matter was first brought up In 1912, when a petition for the proposed street was presented to the board of works as then composed. The matter was deferred from time to time, and it is now said that the old petition will be dropped, and a new one will be presented. Property owners are in favor of the opening of the street, but representatives of the Grand Trunk, C. I. & S., Jersey and other railroads appeared before the board with their objections. The new street will have to cross the railroads named, and the expense of maintaining crossings for the comparatively sjnall traffic is pointed out as a reason for deferring the opening. Make Way for Pavement. The short stretch of unsaved road which extends from the end of the pavement on Lincoln way W. to the cement road will soon be paved, It Is believed, as the result of a resolution adopted by the board of works at the meeting. The resolution provides for a pipe sewer on Lincoln way W. from 1,4 36 feet west of Olive st. to the city limits. As soon as the sewer is in place, the street will be paved. It Is believed. A resolution providing for pavement on Keasey st. from Parallel st. to High st., was also adopted by the board.
