WEDNESDAY, OCT. 27, IS DOLLAR DAY AT GLOBE CLOTHING HOUSE OTHER-SHIP FOR BRITISH SEAPLANES tlantic Liner Transiormed to Aid in Hunting Submarines Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, Sept. 28.—Strangest look- g of all the ships with the British rand fleet is the Atlantic liner which as been transformed into d mother- jhip for the seaplanes. There are latforms in place of the promenades here passengers used to lounge, ombs in place pf deck-quoits, and the Ining saloong have been fitted up as orkshops. Everything that a sea- plane needs in the way of repairs can e supplied. Assortment of Bombs, “Here is our assortment of bombs,” aid an officer, showing an exhibit of flifferent sizes on a shelf. “That one CASTORIA | For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tho Signature of weighs a hundred pounds, the same ag a six-inch shell.” “What do you use them wag asked. “Anything, from a German cruiser, if we get a chance at one, to a sub- marine. That big bomb would finish a Zeppelin, too.” COrane Lifts Seaplane. A crane that once had taken pas- sengers’ trunks out of the hold lifted a seaplane off a platform and de- posited it on the water, where it bounced on the waves before the motor was started and it skimmed across the surface for a hindred yards or more, rose,circled around the fleet two or three times, and then dis- eppeared out at sea. With its floats it looked clumsy besides an aeroplane— the difference between a duck and a hawk. Most of the romance and the action of sea warfare while the British Grand fleet waits for the Ger- man fleet to come out are the sea- planes and the destroyers. The dreadnoughts remain in harbor, ex- cept for occasional cruises into the North Sea, but the planes and the de- stroyers are always on the move, They work together in hunting “Fritz" as British officers and men universally refer to submarines. Visible to Aviator, A submarine is visible to an aviator when it is cruising below the surface. It never travels deeped than thirty or forty feet and leaves a character- istic ripple and air-bubbles and streaks of oil. When a plane has on?” he lccated g submarine it signals the hunters where to go.

But before they | arrive a squall may have hidden the track. A submarine may be known to be in a certain region and be lost and seen and lost and seen again. Submarine hunting is a tireless game of hide and seek. Naval ingenuity has invented no end of methods of lo- lation and of destruction. Experiment has proved some to be effectual and some useless. Strictest kept of naval secrets these. , Skin of Submarine Thin. Very thin the skin of a submarine and very fragile and complicated its machinery. It does not take much of a shock to put it out of order or a large cargo of explosives to dent that skin beyond repair, “The difficulty is to know when you get them,” an officer explained; for it-is the nature of the submarine to sink, whether vitally injured or not. It may have gone to the bottom to may have submerged under a choppy sea and made its escape. We have been hunting them for a year now, and no doubt we are getting the better of them. We have not only learned how to keep them off from our great ships but how to destroy them.” Evidence of Success. If oil and bubbles come up for a long time in one place or if they come up with a Tush, that is con- sidered fairly | harbor. stay in fifty fathoms of water, or it | good evidence of suc- cess. There is no escape for the crew. They cannot make the submarine rise or get out of it. It becomes a steel casket in a watery grave. No nauti- cal mind is required to realize that by casting about the bottom with a grapnel you will learn if an object with the bulk and size of a submarine is there; and the ‘‘death” of sub- marines is established in this wa: “The Admiralty will not accept any guesswork about it,” said an officer. “We may have put an explosive right into one or rammed it in a way that must have broken its back: but that is not proof enough. The record goes down on the chart as ‘supposed de- stroyed.” " Submarine Defenses of Harbor, With Admiral Crawford the corres- | pondent of The ociated Press went to see the submarine defens of a Cruisers and destroyers and auxiliaries were going and coming, but the narrow openings through which they passed were closed instantly they were by. There was more than one obstruction. If a submarine got past the first or the second, it was in a pocket. Severa] have been caught in this way. “Take care! There is a tide here!" the coxswain of the admiral’s barge was warned “We don't want to get caught in a trap ment for Fritz.” Get one Roofing —made in three thicknesses, guaranteed 5 years for 1-ply, 10 years for 2-ply and 15 years for 3-ply, backed by the respon- sibility of the largest roofing and building paper industry in the world.

At one nava] base the correspondent saw a number of destroyers lying moored to a quay as close together as fish in a basket. They had just come in from a tour at sea. | Trick to Commanders. “Here today and gone tomorrow,” said an officer. “What a time they had last winter! And they are in for another winter of it. You know how | cold the North Sea is—no, you cannot | unless you have been out in a torpedo ‘ beat dancing the tango in the teeth of | that bitter wind, with the spray whip- | ping up to the top of the smokestacks. In the dead of night they would come | into this pitch-dark harbor. How they found their way is past me. It's |a trick of those fellows who com- | mana.” If a destroyer gets on the track of | a submarine it has thirty knots | against the submarine’s six or eight. There is no difficulty in keeping up; her wireless brings a swarm of as- sistance. The fast turbine destroyers seemed to slip over the water ag if | their bottoms were oiled. Only a few | of the crew were exposed when show- | ers of freezing spray sweep the decks, {ana all are clad in thick, short coats ‘ of llama wool, which keep their bodies | warm and leave the legs free for movement in keeping footing as the destroyers roll and plungs in a heavy sea. Hunt Submarines, Every ship on the blockade from Iceland to the British Channel is also a part of the system of submarine hunting. They show no lights; there are no lights along the coast at night. “It gives one an ldea of England's maritime resources,” said an officer, “when you consider that Wwe have 2,300 trawlers and other auxiliary ships on service.” | The trawlers plod over plotted | sea-squares with the regularity of [mm\'lng-mnchine! cutting & harvest, | on their way back and forth sweeping lup mines. They were fishermen be- | fore the war and are fishermen still. They come into harbors stiff with cold, (thaw out, have a rest, and return to ! their vigils and their hardships. Be- yond them, the cruisers and the de- | stroyers are patrolling on the watch for any sign of a German ship coming out past Heligoland. | ‘When The Flag Passes. (Cincinnati Times-Star.) The question of encouraging the outward forms of respect for the na- tional flag and the national anthem is just now frequently discussed. There is a general desire on the part of good Americans to tighten up our somewhat siovenly and care- less habits in these matters. An evidence of this is seen in or- | ders just issued to the New York police. Hereafter officers must stand | at attention and salute the flag when it passes in the custody of the Unit- ed States army or of the National Guard. Officers will also observe the same form when the national We do not go in much fnmt malities in this country. But if police in all American cities woll follow the lead of the police of Né York the time might come when W tha anthem is played. A policeman not | low. in uniform must raise his hat. H These ordered and official marks of respect to the flag are most ap- propriate. They create an example which the private citizen should find i could say of saluting the flag it not only easy, but desirable to fol- I “everybody's doing it.” When you go to the San Franclsco Exposition fect seeing 1his Exposition is fo forego one of the most ol tontlel xperiences pastibiers "“JUDGE GARY.
