The sinking. of the ‘Carolina, the only pas- sengeg ship thus far known to have ‘been sunk, occurred Sunday night at about the same time that the Mengel wee sunk though in a different local-' ity.

This is the sae general location as that in which) the tank steamer Hervert L. Pratt was sunk yesterday.

We must remember that we are in this war to the finish, and that we will not stop until the kaiser and all his hordes of Huns.are beaten, even if it takes the last man and the last dollar we’ve got. We here, at home, gafe and secure from the hell of No Man’s Land which our boys are facing “over there,” must not forget for an instant that the only really important thing is the WINNING OF THE WAR and that all other things are secondary. — pee ULUUUUUDRDUSGUDEAUDSUUUUOUOUON captain, it was said, but he evidenced no more interest in them, seemingly, than in any others aboard.

I knew then for sure he was.a German for an American or a Britisher would have said ‘heave to’. “The commander, accompanied by Wiis.

The’German spoke good Eng- lish; and he said not to hurry as there was plenty of time saying ‘you fel- lows first, us afterward’. “The captain wanted al my papers, Wut 1 told him I needed the ship's articles as that was all I had with which to reckon the time and pay due me and my crew.
