few better opportunities have been given

lively chorus.

Casino=Wnr Pictures.

Motion pictures made from behind the
German and Austrian lines in France.
Germany. Galicia. Poland. and Russia
are being shown at the Casino Theater
this week. Half of the proceeds derived
from the exhibition will be paid into n
fund for the blind and crippled soldier,
OF the German and Austrian arimes.
The pictures were taken by Edwin r.
Weigle, photographer OF the Chicago
Tribune. and are exhibited as THE Ger
man Side of the War"
There are five reels and they are in
censely interesting because of their au-
thenticIty and the fact that owing to the
use of a powerful telephoto lens Pro-
tographer Weigle was enabled TO make
pictures of objects 5000 feet away with
remarkable clearness.
One of the first pictures thrown on the
screen is that of a crowd gathered be-
fore the Reichstag in Berlin singing the
German national anthem with fervor.
From Berlin the scene shifts to Ham

army is seen passing to the battle front.

pillar guns in action. and the columns
of sturdy German soldiers marching to
the front, are only a few OF the scenes
thrown upon the screen.
Without a doubt the pictures are the

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 20.
Some remarkable reports in re-
gard to German submarine war
fare are finding their way to
Washington. That the British
have found a way to nullify the
submarine activities is stated on
szcellent authority.
Il IL even stated that already
~ per cent of the German
U-boats have been destroyed Or
captured.
Every effort has been made by
the British authorities to keep
from the public facts in regard
to their handling of the U-boat
menace.
II is easy to see why this
should be so. The Germans were
naturally most anxious to know
Of any new devices employed or
planned to get their boats.
Berlin is equally reticent in
regard to the disappearance Of
their submarines.
Commerce Little Impeded
The facts which stand out just
now are these:
First, that for some time the
news dispatches have failed to
announce the loss of any import

face as far as a submarine dives.
An aeroplane therefore, or a
dirigible, is useful in locating the
submarine and at times even in
dropping a bomb upon it.
More effective. however, has
been the work of the oil-burning
rapid scout boats operating wire
nets. These nets are made of
strong steel wire with a 15-foot
mesh with wooden buoys at The
top and sinkers on the lower
edge like a huge seine.
They are 10 yards long and
so feet from top to bottom.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-09-29

One story is told of a decoy
cooperating near an estuary with
an aeroplane. On the decoy the
sailors were hanging out a washs-
ing. When they observed the
submarine approaching. in &C
cordance with a plan. red shirt
was hung on the line and at the
signal an aeroplane darted from
behind a hill where it had been
in waiting and dropped bomb on
the submarine.
Stories tell also of fixed nets
at certain points into which the
submarines are led by a boat os-
tensibly endeavoring to escape.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-09-29

served, they drop the net, pay out
some cable with buoys and retire.
Presently the submarine noses
into the net and the scout boats
return, close in the net, and dis
pose of the submarine at their
leisure.
This method, 1t Is said, has
been used most successfully.
Another instrument used
against the submarine is the high
powered gasoline boat armed
with one light gun. Hundreds

third, regular communication by

Sub Is Near Sighted

The submarine, through its
periscope, is limited in its sight,
being able to see only about a
mile, or to see smoke about three
miles.
The scout boats, or their aero
planes, are able to see the peri
scope of the submarine because
of the wake 1t leaves in the wa
ter, and to chart its course. Then,
being much more rapid, the
scout boats can head off the sub
