Right now at the Dahlgren Proving Ground they are working on an- anti-sub- marine gadget. They don't know yet how well it will iwork, and if they did they'd hardly tell.

Alexander, | Britain's First Lord of the Admiralty, has heen “im- proved” so that U-boats operate not only in packs but “in echelons of packs.” | This tactic permits broad coverage of convoy Iroutes. Roughly, here's how it works: The sub- marine packs are loosely disposed across the ocean convey lane. Then, at the time for attack, one of several methods may be pursued. Sometimes there will be a feint, to draw off the escort ships, whereupon the other subs, in force, {will move in on the convoy, often from several direc- tions. If the escort protection is heavy, there may {be a series of attacks. Since the defenders cannof TO Bh PROUD OF Last week gave Alaskans and Juneauites three |to fight them all off.
