Lean's boy. wus Interviewed by the
Associated Press correspondent. The
boy said that after the torpedoing
Captain MacLean was the coolest
man on board, giving orders as If
nothing hud happened to Interfere
with the ordinary routine.
The lud added thut the captain's
coolness had the desired effect on the
| American soldiers. The second of
fleer, who superintended iii„ jauncli
i"K of the boats on the starboard
side the boy snid, also gave u splen-
did example of courage, exercising
great control over the men and repeat
edly risking his life to get the boats
away.
The boy sawihim lifting nil uncon-
scious man and loaning over the ship
at n dangerous angle, placing him ii
a boat which was being lowered. Thr
conduct of the officers and crew wai
magnificient, the boy declared. Thej
stuck by the ship until all the soldier's
had disembarked.
'I he boy was also impressed by th
courage of the American soldiers
when the Rritish destroyer came
along side and they had to slide down
ropes, which he said was a danger
ous proceeding owing to the swing-
of the boats. The Americans
acdepted the risk with great spirit
he said, three of them shouting "let
her rip" as one after another they
clambered over-board and slid rap-
idly to the deck of a warship, in-
deed many looked upon the exper-
ience as a joke, the boy recalling that
one cooley smoked a cigarette as he
took his turn on the rope. The Tus-
cania's second officer had a remark-
able experience. He was in a boat
wjth forty others. He said:
"All at once we bumped into some
thing hard and when I looked around
there aws a submarine lying awash
to look at its dirty work. What
coud we do? We simply carried on
and got picked up. The tin fish suh-
mergered immediately after."

HAND GRENADES
The hand grenades were first used
at Port Arhtur in 1J704, during the
Russian-Japanese war. Reports in-
dicate their use early in the 10th cen-
tury, or even earlier, but they were
not successful; often premature ex-
plosions occurring and killing or
wounding those who were throwing
them instead of the enemy.
The hand grenade is a very simply
constructed weapon consisting of
metal ball Jilleci with high explosive,
to which a time fuse is attached, the
fuse being ignited through the releas
ing of a small cord. As the soldier is
about to throw the grenade he pull
the cord out and instantly throws the
missile which explodes automaically
^ timed. These instruments art
j very much like a bomb. Hand gren-
ades are bging ussd with great effect
ive ness in the present world war.
These are now being made about
the Size of a base ball and it is ex
pected that the American soldiers,
through their general familiarity
with our national game, will be the
most effeient in the use of the hand
grenade. \ /
GET CAR LOAD OF BOOZE
COLLINSVILLE, Feb. 6.—Deputy
Sheriff O. W. Payne, R. D. Ferry and
Oscar Evans made a big booze catch
over near the Caney river bridge
yesterday evening. They captured a
big Buick six loaded with 1200
pints of whiskey, and two men
who were in the car.
The officers were laying for the
outfit about a quarter of a mile east
of the bridge. When the car arriv-
ed at that point one of the men got
out and walked down towards the
bridge to see if the coast was clear,
l The officers halted the man and
started for the car, but the driver
saw them and tried to turn the car
and make his get-a-way. but the of-
ficers opened up on the car whh their
guns and put it out of commission.
The men surrendered without mak-
ing a fight
The officers broke the booze and
tried to bring the car and men to
town, but got stuck in a mud hole
and had to have a farmer pull them
out with a team. They finally pulled I
into town about dark and placed the
men in jail until this morning, when
they were taken to Claremore and
turned over to the sheriff.
The men refused to give their
names, but they are believed to be
