THE STANFORD WORLD HOW MRS, BOYD AVOIDED AN OPERATION Canton, Ohio. -\I suffered from a female trouble which caused me much suffering, and two doctors decided that I would have to go through an operation before I could get well. \My mother, who had been helped by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound, advised me to try it before sub- mitting toan opera - Um. It relieved me from my troubles so I can do my house work without any difficulty. I advise any woman who is afflicted with female troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Com- pound Ntrial and it will do as much for them.\—Mrs. MARIE BOYD, 1421 btb St, N. E., Canton, Ohio.

When the tugs had cast oft and after a while we had dropped our pilot I said to myself: \Now we are off, and It's the States for me -end of the inc-fur as we go -IF-\ But the \if\ did not look very big to me, though I could see it with the nuked rye all right. I got up about four o'clock the next morning, which was Sunday, Decem- ber 10, 1910-a date I do not thiuk I will ever forget. As soon as I was dressed I went Sown to the forecastle peak and from there into thsi paint locker, where I found some rope. Then buck again on leek, and made myself a hammock, which I rigged up on the boat deck, figuring that I would have a nice sun bath, as the weather bud at lust turned clear. As soon as I had the hammock strung I went down to the baker and had a nice chat with lam -and stole a few tot buns, which was what I was really after -and away to the galley for breakfast. I was almost exactly amidships, sitting on an old orange box. I had not been there long when Old Chips, the ship's carpenter, stuck his head in the door and sang out, \Ship on the starboard bow.\ I did not pay any attention to him, because ships on the Starboard bow were no novelty to me, or on the port either. Chips was not crazy about looking at her, either, for he came in and sat on another box and began scofling. He said he thought she was a tramp and that she flew the British flag astern. I ate all I could get bold of and went out on deck. I stepped out of the gal- ley just in time to see the fun. The ship was just opposite us' when away went our wireless and some of the boats on the starboard side, and then, boom! boom! and we heard the report of the guns. I heard the shrapnel whizzing around us just as I had ninny a time before. I jumped back in time galley and Chips and the cook were shaking so hard they made the pans rattle. When the firing stopped I went up to the boat deck. I had on all of nsy clothing, but instead of shoes I was wearing a pair of wooden clogs. The men and - boys were crazy -rushing around the deck and knocking each other down, and everybody getting in everybody else's way. We lowered our Jacob's ladders, but some of the men and boys were already in the water. Why they jumped I do not know. Then the German raider Mistime beaded right in toward us and I thought she was going to ram us, but she backed water about thirty yards away. She lowered a lifeboat and it made for the Georgic, passing our Men in the water am they came and crashing them on the head with boat - They Crashed Them on the Head With Boat Hooiss. books when they could reach them. I noticed that there were red kegs in .he German boat. • When the lifeboat reached the .7a - tab's ladders I went over to the port eade of the Georgic and then the Ger- mans came over the side and hoisted sp the kegs. The Germans were armed with bayonets and revolvers. %me of them went down Into the en- gine room and opened the sea cocks. About this time some of the Limeys Carrie up from the poop deck and bold them to stay where I was and that the Germans would take us over In lifeboats. Another squad of Ger- mane hoisted eight of the dynamite. kegs on their shoulders and down into fi hold with them. Mean time the Germans new us up n the boat (leek and canto up after s. Awl over went the Limeys. But waited mid one or two more waited lilt me. When the Germans came up us they hail' *their revolvers out .sere waving them around and . ‘tiOtt strafe England!\ and . n e t . ..soh welts bands).\ Ilsele. the first thing I knew, I was kicked off Into the sest. I slipped off my trousers and coat mid clogs, and, believe inn', it was not a case of all dressed up and no place to go! Then I swam hard anti caught up to the Limeys who had palmed first. They were asking each other if they were downhearted anti andwering, \Not a bit of it, me lads,\ etc! trying to sing, \Peek up your troubles in your old kit bag,\ only. Shey could not do ntuch singing on necount of the waves that slipped into their titeuths every time they opened them. That was Just like Limeys, though. Some of the boys were just climbing up the Jacob's ladder on the Moewe when the old Georgic let out an awful roar and up went the deck and the hatches high in the air in splinters. One fellow let go his hold on time lad- der and went down and he ucser came up. The Germans were making for the Moewe in the lifeboat nail we reached it just before they did. Up the holder we went and over the side and the first thing we caught sight of was the German revolvers in our faces drilling us all into line. The lifeboat brought back the ship's papers from the Georgic and we had roll cull. They kept us up on deck in our wet underwear and It was very cold indeed. Then the first mate and the old men and one of the German officers called off the names and we found we had fifty missing. The Roche commander had gall enough to say that he was not there to kill men but to sink all ships that were supplying the allies! He said England was trying to starve Germany, but that they would never succeed and that Germany would starve the allies very soon. After roll call some of us asked the Germans for clothes, or at least a place to dry ourselves in, but Fritz could not see us for the dust on the ocean and we jug: had to stand there and shiver till we shook the deck, al- most. Then I went and sat down on the pipes that feed the deck winches. They had quite a head of steam in them and I was beginning to feel more comfortable when I got a good clout alongside of the head for sitting there and trying to keep warns It was a German garby and he started calling Inc all the various kinds of schwein- hunde he could think of and he could think of a lot. Finally they mustered us all on another part of the deck, then drilled us down into the forecastle and read the martial law of Germany to us. At least I guess that Is what It was. It might have been the \Help Wanted -Dog Catchers\ column from the Ber- ildLokal Taggnbble for all most of us knew or cared. It shows what cards the Germans are -reading all those four -to -the -pound words to us shiver- ing garbles, who did not give a dime a dozen whether we heard them or not. Fritz Is like some other hot sk.etches- he is funniest when he does not mean to .be. Every German is a vaudeville skit when he acts natural. There were hammocks there and we jumped into them to get warm, but the Germans came down with their re- voivers and bayonets and took the hammocks away and poured water on the decks and told us to sleep there. They could not have done a worse trick titan that. Then they put locks on the portholes and told us that anyone caught fiddling with the locks would be shot at once. This was because we might sight a British or French man-of-war at any time and as the Moewe was sailing un- der the British flag anii trying to keep out of trouble they did not want us at the ports signaling our own war- ships for help. If they had bucked any of the allied ships and had a tight we would have died down there like rats. The Moewe hnd already captured the Voltaire, Mount Temple, Cambrian Range and the King George and had the crews of these vessels between decks with us. These men told us how the Germans were treating them and it looked to me as though the eve- ning would be spent in playing games and a pleasant time would be had by all -not. The crew of the Mount Temple were on deck working when the raider sud- denly opened fire on them. Two or three men jumped Into the water and the Germans turned a gun on them while they were swimming and killed them. That was just a sample of what had happened to them. The men now began running up and down in a line to keep warm, but I took a little run on my own hook and treated myself to as much of a once- over of the ship as I could. I do not believe the ?doers° bad more than a three -fourths -inch armor plate, but be- hind that she had three rows of pig Iron, which made about a foot In thick- ness. There was nothing but cable strung along the deck and when I saw that would have given anything to have had a crack at her with a 14 -Inch naval. And I sure wished hard enough that one of our ships would slip up on us, whether we were caught between deck. or not I went aft as far as the sentry would let me and I saw that she had three -spare six-inch guns un- bar (be peep deck and two six -Inch pieces mantled astern. The Aims were mounted on an elevator anti when the time sande they ran the (Acetone up until the guns were on a ItWel with the poop desk. but otherwise they were out of sizht from other ships.

After this festival we began roaming up and down the deck agnin, because It WIN the only way to keep warm.

Only we did not have mummy Christma W a tree to sit around. e must have looked funny, though, and I would hese had a good laugh if I had not been soc - Zild. We could not go to sleep because the decks were wet, nor could we sit down with any comfort for the same reason. Besides, we thought we might buck up against a British or a French cruiser at any minute and most of Us thought we would stay up and get an eye full before we Started for Davy's well-known locker. About two bells the following morn- ing the Motwe's engines began to groan and shake her up a bit and we could hear the blades Jump out of the water every once in a while and tear away. She went ahead in this way for some time and we were hoping she was trying to get away from a cruiser nnd some of us were pulling for the cruiser to win and others hoping the Moewe would get her heels clear and keep us from getting ours. The Huns were running up and itown the deck yelling like wild men and one of our men began to yell too. He was deUrious and utter he yelled a bit lie jumped up and made. a pass at the sentry, who shot at him but missed. The shot missed me too, but not very much. Then they dragged the delirious man up on deck and Lord knows what they did with him, because we never saw hlm twain. But we did not hear any sound that they might have made in ahooting him. Then the Huns began shelling and they kept it up for some time. Then they ordered us up on deck to see the ship they had been firing at and when we came up the companion wny they were Piet bringing the oth r ship's skipper aboard. It Was the French collier St. Theodore, hove to off the starboard side with a prize crew from the Moewe aboard and wig- wagging to the raider. Then the Huns began shouting and they rousted us below deck again. The place where we had been was filled with smoke, from what or why I do not know, but it was almost impos- sible to breathe in it. When the smoke cleared up a hit the Marathon started again, for we were still in our underwear only. One of the boys h,ad asked Fritz for clothing and Fritz said the English had tough enough skins and they did not need clothing. Then he -said: \Walt until you see What our German Winters are like.\ The following morning the engines began to tear away again and the guns started firing. After a while the Bring stopped and the engines too, and efter an hour they had the old man of litn Yarrowdnie aboard. She was a British ship chartered by the French and hound for Brest and Liverpool with a very valuable cargo aboard - airplanes, ammunition, food and auto- mobiles. When they rousted us on deck nerd's the St. Theodore was still In sight, but she had the Ynrrowdale for company. Both were trolling behind us and keep- ing pretty close on. While we were on deck we saw the German sailors at work on the main deck making about guns aft, mounted on ten rafts sad when they began to place tins of hardtack on the rafts, a tin to each, we imagined they were going to heave us over the side and let us go on the rafts. But instead they begau telling us we %could hind in the Stine' and then they rousted us between decks again.
