THE PRICE YOU PAY “T know I ought to take treatment; 1 have been running down for the last year or two. I am all fagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn- ing till night, don’t care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work I used to do some years ago. If I were as strong as I was, I could earn good u good specialist, but I cannot afford money. I kiow I ought to treat with to pay for the treatment.” You are paying for it NOW, my friend, ‘and dearly; yet you do not get it. Let me tell you why. Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing. A good manager never spends more than his interest. Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease. And what are you doing? You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can- not work and earn what you used to. Do you see the point? You are draw- ing on your capital—which is your health—by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller. You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get. To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; aad you had all your heart and soul in your work. These happy days are gone. You now barely make a living and | find it almost beyond your strength. | And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes. Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation. The dollar don’t, is an HYDE you MIGHT earn, but actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety, despondency, want and deprivation for your family. The dollar vou take out of your pocket an experienced specialist is not expense. It is an investment. And in geturn you get increased working bility, higher wages, health and hap- piness at home.

There was a light west-northwest wind blowing. The schooner had averaged about three knots in the previous twelve hours. I could distinguish objects for five | miles on the horizon. “We were bound from Norfolk, Va., to Portland, Me., with a cargo of coal. According to the position at noon the Bdward H. Cole was about sevent; five miles southeast of Atlantic High- lands at the time. Karl V. Karlson, a Finn, who was steering, asked me why the submarine was moving around our ship at high speed. 'We both believed it was an American craft with some Naval Reserve cadets | on board, who were trying to have some fun with us sailors of the merchant marine, I thought that it would be a good idea to have a little fun with our skip- per, who had turned in for a nap in his cabin, and T yelled down the s light, “Tumble up on deck lively Cap. There’s a big German submarine | astern getting ready to attack “Then T took the marine glasses and looked through them at the stern of the U-boat, where her ensign was flapping limply against the short flagstaff. For a moment or two T could not make out her nationality, and then a gust of wind rcame and blew the ensign straight so that T could see that it was the German flag, and then T shouted in earnest to Cap- tain Newcombe, ‘Tt's no joke this time. By gosh, she iz a German sub- marine.’ Officer $peaks Good English, ‘After making three circles to be certain, apparently, that we did not carry a gun the U-boat came up on tarboard quarter and a tall, fair- haired officer on deck by the conning tower shouted in god English. ‘What ship is that?’ T replied that it was an American schooner and thought he could read the name Edward H. Cole on the stern. This did not please the gfficer, who repeated the question in quiet, businesslike tones, and I then told him. The watch on deck began to get a little anxfous by this time, as some of the German seamen on the U-hoat were swinging the for- ward gun around in a careless man- ner. “The next hail we got as Captain Newcombe joined me on the deck was to heave to and they would send an officer on hoard. This time the | U-boat was fifty yards away, and we saw the tall officer get into a dinghey with three of his men carrying some- thing in their hands. “As the boat got alongside T had he pilot ladder rigged on the star- board quarter by the gangway and the Germans came on board. The of- ficer, who, wore gold shoulder straps and gilt buttons, and was the only one of the crew who was clean shaven, spoke courteously to Captain Newcombe, and after listening to the statements as to the name, tonnage, 50, and ports of departure nd des- tination he made a brief inspection ot the ship. Then he came to where we were standing and sald, ‘Now, Cap- tain, get your crew together and tell them that they have ten minutes to leave the ship.’ Several of the men were still in their bunks and they were ordered to hurry on deck. Then the crew iwere ordered into the schooner’s boat, No Patrol Boats in Sight. “On previous voyages along the Jersey shore we had sighted scores of ‘patrol boats, but there were none to be seen yesterday afternoon when the German submarine appeared. “About 4:10 o'clock we pulled away from tho Edward H. Cole and rowed hard with the two oars in the boat to get away from the expected explosion. There was no water or food in the vawl and no compass. The captain brought his sextant and barbometer with him, “We saw the Germans, acting under orders from their officer, take four bombs and attach them, two on each sidg of the schooner, and light the fuses. Five bombs exploded, and the Edward H. Cole started to go down by the bows, As she was settling the German submarine fired one shell from the bow gun which struck amid- ships, and in sixteen minutes the schooner had disappeared. “Just then we saw a cloud of smoke | on the horizon astern, and the U-boat | went off at full speed in that direc- tion, presumably to attack the steam- ship if she proved to be unarmed.” “An hour later we heard five shots | fired, and saw ubmarine four and | £ miles away on the starboard | quarter attacking a small steamship, which might have been a tanl Wihen we lost sight of her the steam- ship was settling by the stern, and I have no doubt that she went down. After rowing for another hour to- ward the shore we heard nine shots fired, which might have been shells or bombs exploding, but we could only Qistinguish the location of the vessel by the reports, as the haze was thick on the water.

Just hefore 8§ o'clock sighted the United States naval lier Bristol coming along, and her captain had the courage to stop and pick s up, although the regulations during war state clearly t ships must not stop to rescue drifting sea- men, but continue on their course. “As we stepped on board the collier we hear firing again away on the star- board side, and three minutes later there was more firing on. the port quarter, but we could not see any- thing in the ha The captain of the Bristol said that it was evident from the different quarters the sounds of firing were coming from that there must be two submarines working to- gether off the American coast.” Captain Newcombe confirmed the account of the attack on the Edward H. Cole by the U-boat except in one respect, and that was the firing of a shell by the submarine at the sinking craft. “I did not see a shot fired,” he “or hear the report, but am not tive that it did not occur. The men quickly got ready to abandon ship and got into the vawl, I have no doubt that several small sailing ves- sels and coasting steamship have been sunk by the submarines since vesterday noon, when I was told they were first sighted off the Jersey shore.” William_Jones, Edward H.

The sailors gathered in a group near the entrance of the barge office, and one of them, Carl W. Tolkka, of 1775 Bast 1224 street addressed the Coast Guard sentry pacing up and down in front of the building. that he wanted to see the Shipping Commissioner. The sentry called the customs watchman and the man Te- peated his request. “It is too early,” the watchman re- wlied, hie commissioner arrived at his office vet.” “Well,” said the sailor, Me and my mates we were torpedoed by a German submarine off Cones nd, and we want our money."” : d the watchman, you were kept up most of has not 's too bad the night.” A little later, in the Shipping Com- i ., Toikka repeated his nce of his mates, It he had signed his name to a slip of paper and it was pared with a signature in the recc of the Shipping Commissioner that it S was not until com- there was truth in SUGAR USERS MUST his story. May Be Cut Off From Future Sup- ply, Scoville Says Hartford, June 4. user in Connecticut is statement issued today ood Administrator and those large users of sugar who re- quire it in their business and have failed to apply for the new sugar cer- tificates may find they have defaulted | their claims to future allotments of known that many large s of sugar are just now ly supplied, but they should, | theless, register their future require- ments so that the food may have accurate statistics on which to base its apportionments for the hot months approaching. The applica- tions should be sent to the Tederal Food Administration, Sugar Division, 36 Pearl street, Hartford, Conn. Mr. Scoville's official explanation of the situation is as follows: “As far as we can sec at the pres- ent time, the certificate control of sugar manufacturers will be contin- ued for the duration of the war. It is, therefore, imperatively necessary that all manufacturers of food prod- ucts using sugar file the required statement before Junc 10. These atements must cover sugar on hand and show the present situation, as the percentage of sugar to be allotted to manufacturers will depend very large- ly upon the total requirements of the industries. Therefore, unless these reports are filed in time to include the manufacture requirement within the total, the allotment will be insuffi- cient and it will be unfair to the man- ufacturers who have complied to fur- nish any sugar to those who have failed to obey this warning. “Any manufacturer who has. In stock a large amount of sugar and thinks thereby that he has no occa- sion to apply to the food administra- tion is not only in danger of losing his future supply but is likely to be considered a hoarder.” Price in U.

The food administration today gave out the following statement of com- parative sugar prices: During the fixst year of the war, the United States consumed more than four million tons of sugar.
