NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1919 1 WILLIMANTIC money in question was also intreduced as_evidence: At an open .meeting of the chamber of commerce, President Robert W. Perkins of the Shore Line Eleetric Railway gave.a very interesting talk regarding street railway problems throughout the country, especially about conditions confronting the street. railways in this locality. President Perkins gave the follow- irg figures to show the particular troubles of his company: In 1906 the gross earnings per mile were 25 cents, the operating expense 15 cents, leav- ing 10 cents per car mile to pay taxes, deprecingion, etc., also dividends. In 1514, the gross earnings were 30 cents, the operating expense 25 cents, leav- ing 5 cents for a margin, Now the gross earnings are less than the op- erating expenses. In fact, during the month of November, the operating ex- pense was $18,000 more than the re- ceipts, The jitney competition came in for its share of attention, and Mr. Per- kins thought the jitneys should be regulated. In regard to the rumor that the company meditatéd abandoning the line entering Willimantie, the sponk- er said that was a matter that had never been considered, nor did they meditate raising fares any further. The South Coventry line had been a losing propdsition for some time, the averagep loss being about $509 per month. In response ta a number of ques- tions, Mr. Perkins said that some re- licf might be afforded by relieving the railway companies of the burden ot caring for highways, and by removal of the tax on gross income; but he i ht the real solution of the dif- ficulty Jay in giving some form of state aid. At ghe close of Mr. Per- kins' address he was given a vote of thanks and then the members and their’ guests enjoyed a lunch. Among the resolutions introduced in the Ti ature Wednesday .was one re-appointing Frank H. Joss judge of the city court of Willimantic, and appointing Otto B. Mdbinson deputy judge. Judge Foss has acted as judge for the past two years, but the office judge has been Alied by Town Clerk Frank P. ¥anton. At the January meeting of the La- dies’ Auxiliary to the A, O.

Commander Walter Jacobs, U. S. N, is at his home on 1 ter re- turning from service overseas. Com- mander Jacobs ent across i May of last year as executive ofcer of the Housatonic, which formerly was a Morgan liner, but had been fitted %ut as a mine layer, and remained until December, when the vessel sailed for home. Commander Jacobs saw exciting and perilous months of service in the North sea while the ten ships of Unit- ed States Minjng ‘Squadron No. 1 was engaged with other vessels in laving what was known as the northern min- ing barrage, oxtending across the North sea from the Scottish coast to Norway. This was the greatest mine field ever laid. ‘Added to the ever-present dangers of handling mines . and working in dreas where attacks Dy surface ves- scls of the enemy were always to be looked for and guarded against was the likelihood of attack by derous Hun under-sea boa battles with these terrors are num- Dbered among Commander Jacobs' ex- periences over there. The Housatonic usually worked with Eritish destroyers hovering' about, while at other times the American baitleship squadron was waiting not far away to squelch any raid that the German fleets might attempt upon the vessels of the mining squadrons, which the Germans knew were at work on gigantic scheme to bottle up their T-boats. The last sortie of the U. S. mine layers was on Ogt. 28, and their chief sion in addition to laying mines to decoy the German fleet into attacking them. Word had been al- lowed to seep through underground channels from London to Berlin that e mine layers would be at work nd probablynot sufficiently protected by convoying vessels. Had this information proved attrac- tive to the ears of German naval offi- cers in high place and they had or- dered their fleet to attack, which it is believed they would have done had not the crews of many of their ves- sols mutinied at that time. they would have encountered the Bri{ish grand flcet, of which the Amcrican battle- ship squadron No. 6 was a part, and “Der Teg” probably would have been written upside down for the Germans. The most powerful fleet the world Pas ever kuown was hidden away not far from the mine layers to give bat- tle to all or any part of the German - > the mur- 1\ nd two} fleet that might against them. The laying of the great mine field was completed one week before the signing of the armistice, Scores of thousands of mines had been used, some of. them laid near the bottom of the sea, some of them at middle depth and some of them near the surface— and together they constituted a fence of death, stretching across the North sea from the Scottish to the Norwe- gian coast, through which no U-boat had more than an outside chance of finding its way in safety. and thous- ands upon thousands of chances of be- ing blown to the everlasting home of the Huns, with all of its pirate crew. ‘The building of this undersea fence was a miracle of mine laying. The development of an American mine sur- passing in various of its features any other similar device ever evolved made possible the carrying out of a propo- sition that had beew discussed for sev- eral years—almost from the beginning of the war. Commander essay an attack Jacobs' vessel, the Housatonic, had a capaclty of 900 mines. Her little stunt, as was the rule for the other ships of the squad- ren, was to run out into the position where she was to work and put them overboard, each one exactly in its al- loted space—300 feet apart and at cer- tain indicated depths. The mines were run out through the stern tubes, to_which they were brought on little raitways and one of them was plump. ed overboard, and anchored, every 13 seconds. Only four hours and a half were required for the Housatonic to lay her whole cargo of 800 mines. Tach mine contained 300 pounds of T. N. T.. cne of the most deadiy and powerful explosives known. These “hables” were hustled about at top speed, however, by the expert crews of the minelavers, who all of the time were on th» jookout for attack by the Germans. Twice these attacks came— by submarines—while the Housatonic was at work, but they did not get her. She opened on them with her 3-inch guns and made a fight of it on her own account until the convoyinz destroyers could get into action and add their scrappy propensities to thc work of chasing the raiders out of the region. The use of depth charges, which th: Housatonic also carried, figured in these encounte; Commander Jacobs does not believe that the German subs,were sunk in these fights, but they were chased out of the fcld of operations—and then the work went on as usual. The work of laying the mine field continued from Junc into November, and the ships and the men who figurcd in the laying of it had many dangerous and thrilling experiences. The Housatenic and other ships in the squa ed out of Scot days were required for each of their trips—to the mine field and back again.
