te Op i q j ( ) ew, ; f RIL 10, 1918 BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE U.S, SUBMARINES OPPOSE HUNNISH MENAGE ON SEAS American Flyer and-Destreyers __ Also Aid Allied Naval F Forces CROSS IN TEETH OF STORM Long Silence Regarding United States Navy Broken by Dan- iels in Speech ' Washington, D. C., April? —In the face of bitter winter gales, Americaa| submarines, primarily designed ior op- erations qf the home coasts, have crossed the Atlantic to engage in the common fight agains German U-boais. They are now aiding allied naval fore-| es as are American destroyers and American naval airmen, and they have been in the war zone for some months, : Secretary Daniels revealed the fact! that the gubmarines had gone over thore in his address at Cleveland last: Saturday at a liberty loan celebra-; tion, but gave no details. It is now possible, however, to tell for the first time of the midwinter passage of the boats across the seas ir the face of the most’ severe weather known in years.” ‘ Secrecy Maintained t The first submarine to leave got} under way in early winter. Arrange- ments for the trip were made without! a hint appearing in the papers and in fact, until Secretary Daniels spoke,’ no word of the participation of the undewater boats in the war against! Germany had been published. | The navy had some experience with! _ long distance work with submarines on which to draw. Boats have been sent to the Philippines, to Hawaii and to Panama, but always in mild season of the year, and with plenty of time for precautionary steps, Cross in Winter This time, however, they were to go in winter and a.terrible winter at that, with the Atlantic in its ugliest mood. The steps taken to get them across cannot be diaglosed; but the fact that the department has no dis- aster to record is pointed to as proot of their sufflicency. ‘ Officers and men of the submarines faced hard days as they put out. Cramped-in narrow quarters and with storms in prospect, they steered to sea with complete confidence in them- selves and their boats. A laconic re- port of uneventful voyages bore out that confidence. ‘ Plow Thru Storm. In mid December others got. start- ed. While it was fair on sailing day, ahead of the submarines, a 10) mile gale was brewing. Into it they plowed, rolling and tumbling. Details of the commanders’ reports have not been -made public, but among the crews un- doubtedly were men who recalled the first employment of the submarines at maneuvres when seasickness all but put the flotilla out of commission, ‘But there was no faltering. The ‘boats Were going to the front in real warfare this time. Even when tow lines parted in some cases, unknown to:the tugs and accompahying craft, the submarines battled forward alone, A majority of them reached their des- tination under their own power, ready for duty. (Driven From Courses Some of the boats were driven far from their courses. They showed up at different ports but promptly put to sea again and reached their station. _ One boat was the hard luck ves- ‘sel of the lot. Separated from the flo- tilla in the first storm and its com- passes out of order, it turned home- ward, onl yto strike two more gails in. quick succession. However, it madz port. successfully and undamaged. ‘With new fuel and sipplies aboard and with a man or two worn out by the long strugle with the elements re- placed, in a few days the boat put to sea again. It went through that time ceanite the fourth gale it encounter- ed.” ee & Little has been said of the work of the British and French submarines in the U-boat hunt. They are ploying a definite part, however, and lurking close to énemy ‘bases. There, have been encounters between submarines, reports of which read like fiction. The service has been described as a trying one for which men of courage and daring are needed It is in that work, presumably that the American sub- marines arc engaged.

The two days will be busy ones, devoted to outlining a program of pub- licity which will place every North Dakota newspaper on the firing line, Out which will ask no newspaper man to face the enemy wit hblank ammu-| nition: Seventy-five centimeter guns will not be wasted on projects where tan ordinary sniper’s “44” would do the job, Secretary Box wants to get the practical newspaper men’s ideas} of a sane publicity campaign, which will confine. publicity matter to sub- jects of vital importance, and which will not deluge country newspaper of- fices in particular with columns upon columns of publicity for which no place possibly can be found but the waste-basket.

Mothers Here Interested in New Treatment Relieves Colds Over Night and Croup in Fifteen Minutes —Applied Externally, NOTHING TO SWALLOW, YOU JUST RUB IT ON, Local Druggists Have Arranged to Sell 25c, 50c, or $1.00 Packages ov.g0 Days’ Trial. * Local druggists report a great deal of interest, especially among mothers with small childrert, in the remarkable external “vapor” treaiment, known as Vick’s VapoRub, recently introduced here from the South. This treatment makes unnecessary “dosing” with injurious medicines, using flannel] jackets and chest pro- tectors, or keeping the children shut up indoors, You can let the little chaps run outdoors and get their needed fresh air and exercise. If colds do start, “nip them in the bud” by using VapoRub—it is externally applied and can therefore be used frcely and often, with perfect safety, on the smallest member of the family. VapoRub comes in salve form and is applied over the throat and chest,- covering with « werm flannel cloth. The body heat releases medicated vapors that are inhaled with every breath, all night long, through the afr passages to the lungs. These vapors Joosen the phlegm and clear_the air passages. In cases cf very severe cfiest colds or incipient pneumonia, first apply bot, wet towels over tho throat and ckest to open the pores. VapoRub is then absorbed through and stimu- lates the skin, taking out that tight-/ ness and soreness in the chest. r Ask your druggist about .the) 30. days’ trial offers GRIP EPIDEMIC i CLOSES SCHOOL High Students Afflicted With Curren Malady An epidemic of a p iar influenza semewhat resembling grip, which orig- | in Europe, was brought over to - York and now is sweeping west- across the continent, resulted sing the Bismarck high school of City Health Of " atternoon ‘after 100 c y_ order uss thi 6 de illne: Lr.
