asked by one of your correspondents.

preference at all, he does not enjoy
it solely because of his color. His
color is a handicap; and wherever he
achieves success he does so in the
face of doubly evere competition. In
certain branches of his occupation the
Negro musician has been successful:
In furnishing entertainment at dinner
parties, receptions and other social
functions similar in character. and in
furnishing dance music. For work
of the former kind his services have
always been in demand, because of his

SUB MARINES ID BE OF LARGE
 TYPE
Indications Are That Naval Au- thoritieS Will Offer Such Re- CommendatiOn; Lessons of War Argument for Craft.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-The Ma wy Department may recommend aban- donment Of the present customhouse type of submarine in favor of large seagoing submersibles as a result of lessons learned during the recent man euvers of the Atlantic fleet and un- official information concerning the size of submarines used in Europe Tt is stated there are indications that the United States is tagging in submarine developments It is understood the view is held that large submarines will reduce navigation difficulties.
 While no definite recommendations have been made. the question of the value of a submarine as small as the present type for coast defense is be- ing seriously considered with appar- ent probability that a submarine of 1900 tons, measuring 250 feet. such as has been engaged in warfare against the Allied merchantmen, particularly will impress the navy officers. IL is understood that reports of the recent maneuver graphically describes diff culties encouraged by twelve little submarines attached to the Blue" force defending the coast against a theoretical enemy. These boats were at sea several days and encountered continuous rough weather While no unexpected mechanical troubles deyel- oped, the personnel of the vessels sui fered extremely from seasickness. bad air. improper food and the continual buffeting they received. It is said many minor mishaps are attributed alone to this impairment of the eff ciency of the crew.
