WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDI
i TIONARY ARMY IN FRANCE. Jan
| 15 (by mail).—It was one big surprist
I for everyone in the machinegun com
| pany when the 'haplain at last go
! Butch into the churcn for Sunday serv
j ices. Butch is rated a pretty hart
| hombre—honest, efficient and faith
| ful as they make them, but not ver;
j careful about his language and mort
j than willing to scrap most anyone an;
! time.
I The chaplain got to him one day a
|
| Butch was splicing some harness fo
one of the mules. His line was abou
like this:
“Now, Butch, I’m going to ask you t<
come to church Sunday morning,
know you don't want to but I want yoi
to come as a favor to me.
“If you were out selling lightning
rods you’d at least expect a farme
to let you put one on his house for
trial, if it wasn’t going to cost hir
anything.
"Now, we’ve been good friends eve
since I caine to the regiment, haven'
we Butch?”
Butch admitted they had been. S
the chaplain pursued his advantage.
“Good,” he said. “Now I’m dealin
in an article which I claim will cur
a lot of troubles. I’m only askin
you to try one sample—just once.”
Well Butch was in^hurch Sunday.
The chaplain had been called awa
just before services and a visitin
chaplain occupied the pulpit. The res
"of the fellows seeing Butch up in fron
were glad to have him with them.
The visiting chaplain looked ove
the congregation of freshly-shave
khaki-dad Sammies for some one t
lead in prayer.
Somehow his eyes fastened on rec
haired Butch sitting only a few fee
away.
The little congregation of Sammie
grew tense as they waited for th
chaplain to speak. You could jus
feel he was going to call on Butch.
He did.
“Will this young man kindley lea
us in prayer?” he asked.
Butch got up. Every eye was o
him. Everyone wondered how he’
make out, being called on like that th
■
i first time he had been to church in
years.
But Butch was equal to the emer- j
gency.
"Let us have five minutes of silent
meditation," said Butch.

Salvage experts are now wonting on
’ the problem of raising her from the
100 feet of water she lies in off the
Old Head of Kinsale. At all events an
i
attempt will be made to recover the
treasure from the strong room on one
of the upper decks. The possibility
of beaching the vessel on the Irish
j coast is also being considered.
Some of the keenest engineering
minds of Great Britain are devising
pirns and means of raising torpedoed
ships after the war. Many of the
r
submarined ships lying on the ocean
floor in the "graveyard of the At
lantic” off Ireland are in water shal
low enough to make the project feas
^ ible
In addition to the value of the ships,
vast fortunes lii metals and imperish
able cargoes are resting in the holds
of the wrecks.
* "Salvage companies are laying plans
? for raising both ships and cargoes on a
* big scale,” said R. H. Davis, managing
director of one of the largest subma
rine engineering corporations in the
' world. “Cargoes to the value of mill
’ ions of dollars are awaiting recovery.
1 Apart from the silver and bullion in
1 sunken ships, there is a huge quantity
pf other metals.
r “In many cases where ships can
1 not be raised, the cargoes can be
3 salved. We recovered $350,000 in
Spanish gold from the Alphonso XII
some years ago. She was lying 165
1 j feet under the sea. We also recover
1 ed a large quantity of silver bars from
3 the steamer Skyro off Cape Finisterre
3 in 186 feet of water\ This shows
1 what can be done after the war.”
Owing to the scarcity of tonnage
after the war, every ship that can
* float will be worth a fortune. The sal
vage companies expect to raise many
3 of the lesser damaged vessels with
^. little trouble and put them into com
0. mission shortly after the war is ended.
