SEA SCAVENGERS
FOLLOW SUBMARINES.
On Board An American Destroyer
in French Wators, Sept. 80.—(Cor
respondence of The Associated Press)
Sharks and seagulls, the scavengers
of the sea have learned to follow in
the wake of the submarines and
watch and wait for the food likely to
come from the wreckage of merchant
vessels destroyed by the German sea
wolves. This fact has been observed
by the commanders of American de
stroyers and is used as a clue to hunt
down the Hun at sea.
The presence of schools of sharks
and flocks of seagulls puts the men
of the American destroyers on the
tip-toe of expectation when they are
hunting for a periscope in the path of
American transports. One comman
der returning to port the other day
said: “We saw a good many sharks
and flocks of seagulls, and these, you
know, are a pretty good sign of sub
marines.
“After several years of sinkings by
submarines, the sharks and sea fowl
have formed the habit of following in
the wake of submarines knowing that
food is likely to come from the wreck
age. Whether it is cargo thrown
overboard from the freighter or
wreckage thrown up from the torpe
do explosion makes no difference:
the appearance of sharks and birds
usually means that there are subma
rines around.”
CHAS. BURKETT WRITES HOME.
Charles Burkett, one of Newport’s
finest young men, who entered the
Students’ Army Training Corps at
Fayetteville in September, has been
chosen with forty others to enter
the officers training school at Camp
Taylor, Louisville, Ky. In a rigid
examination, both mentally and phy
sically, given to seven hundred stu
dents of the university forty passed,
Charles being one ot them. He
chose the field artillery service and
his friends feel proud of his record
and know that he is equal to any oc
casion and that at the close of the
training school at Camp Taylor he
will be among the commissioned
boys.
Following is a letter from Mr.
Burkett:
“Y” Hut, St. Louis, Mo.
3 p. m., Nov. 1, 1918.
My Dear Mother and Family: I
have just returned from a tour of
the town (the little town). I have
walked for three hours and seen lots
of this little place. We had to be
back at 3 p. m. for the “Y” is going
to take us on a sight-seeing trip over
the city. They have certainly treat
ed us nice here. A man in uniform
is the man of the day. Everybody
has a smile ancf a kind word for the
boy in uniform.
We leave at 2:30 p. m. for Camp
Taylor, Ky. and get there about 7 or
8 tomorrow night. It certainly is a
long old trip and we did not get a
Pullman either. The captain at W.
of A. said they tried for a week to
get one for us but they could not.
Mother, the Red Cross at Fayette
ville gave us a big bunch of sand
wiches and fruit and best of all a
pair of towels, 3 prs. of sox and a
sweater, but they told us who had
sweaters not to take one and I did
not. I thought some poor boy who
did not have one would need it.
Mother I will close with love to all.
Your son and brother,
Charles.

YOUNG MAN PARDONED.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 2.—Because the
evidence upon which he was convict
ed was almost wholly circumstantial,
the governor has pardoned Ed Low
ry, of Garland county, who had been
sentenced to one year imprisonment
on a charge of mahuufacturing li
quor. No witnesses were produced
to give direct testimony as to the
commission of the offence. The
governor considered that the explan
ations offertd by the defendant and
his witnesses were so reasonable and
consistent with his innocence. Low
ry is a young man with a wife and
infant children. He had never before
been charged with any offense, and
his reputation for honesty and so
briety had heretofore been above re
proach.
FRED BAKER PARDONED.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 2.—Gov. Brough
has granted a pardon to Fred Baker,
of Scott county, who was convicted
last August of attempting to pass a
forged check, and sentenced to one
year in the peninettiary. The pardon
was recommended by the circuit
judge, the prosecuting attorney, ev
ery member of the grand jury, the
officials of the First National Bank
of Waldron, which is the aggrieved
party, the county officials and many
citizens. Baker has a wife and one
small child, and the family are dis
tressingly poor. This is the first
time he was ever charged with an
offense, and he has already served
three months of his term.
ARKANSAS “OVER THE TOP ”
