MANILA VETERAN READY TO HELP HEAT THE KAISER—Mr. Samuel Ferguson, form
erly chief electrician in the United States navy, is the same Samuel Ferguson who in his
tory is mentioned as one of the four men who after the battle of Manila Ba> went ashore
from Admiral Dewey’s flagship, the Olympia, and pulled down the large Spanish Hag at
Fort Santiago while surrounded by thousands of enemy and soldiers. He also was
one of the original crew of our first submarine, the Holland, and also assisted in breaking
in the other vessels of our initial fleet of undersea craft. “Sam” retired from the active
forces of the American navy some years ago and bought himself a modest home at Ja
maica. where he lives with his wife and daughter. Born at Syracuse, N. Y.. in 187 K. he has
felt that he is a trifle past the best fighting ago. but he does not consider himself entirely
out of the game by any means. If the country want- him he is ready to respond at a mo
ment's notice.

" \KF WE DOW \HK ARTED? NO!!'*—And here is another group of Pershing’s Sammies holding a front line trench separat
ed from the Germans only by a narrow, shell-pocked strip. Worried? No! You wouldn’t call them “downhearted” after
glancing at those grins, would you? These are some of the Sammies who have been in action several times, and possibly
e\en thi< 'mall group includes some of those who were the first American soldiers to lay down their lives on the battle
field for the cause of freedom.

RESCUING SURVIVORS OF GERMAN SUBMARINE—Because of the fact that a United
States destroyer captured the crew of a German U-boat after the crew had opened the sea
cocks, the above drawing is particularly interesting. This picture shows a British submarine
after a fight with a German U-boat, picking up the survivors. This undersea battle waa
fought at about 800 yards. The British torpedo struck the German just ahead of the colu
mn * r tower.
