Submarines of Old Type Must Go

WASHINGTON, Nov Abandon
ment of the present coast defence
type of submarine in favor of large
or sea-going submersibles may be
recommended by the navy depart
ment. as a result of lessons learned
during the recent manoeuvres of the
Atlantic fleet and unofficial informa-
ton concerning the size of under
water craft now in service in Europe
There are indications ii was said
that the United States is tagging
behind in submarine development,
even with one 1000 ton submarine
nearing completion and two of 1900
tons, soon to be ordered. Navy Off
Gals have been particularly impress
ed by apparent probability that a
submarine of approximately 1900
tons and measuring $50 feet in
length has been engaged in the war
fare against allied merchantmen.
Reports on the fleet manoeuyres, it
has just been made known, tell graph
ic stories of the difficulties encoun-
tered by the twelve little submarines
attached to the BLUE" force COM
manded by Admiral Fletcher and de-
Tending the coast against the theori-
teal enemy. The boats were at sea
several days, and encountered con-
tinuous rough weather. While no
unexpected mechanical troubles were
encountered, the personnel of the yes
sells suffered extremely from sea-
sickness, bad air, improper food and
the continued buffeting they received
in the pitching and rolling. To i'm
pairment of the efficiency of the crews
by seasickness alone, many minor
mishaps to the boats are said to be
attributed
The manoevures included the first
attempt to employ the submarines. all
of the coast defence type and none
displacing more than 500 tons, at
nearly one thousand miles off shore.
The general scheme of defense, it is
said, fixes that distance at sea as the
zone within which coast submarines
should be able to operate in any
weather Should an enemy succeed
in reaching within one hundred miles
of the coast it is argued by some Of
ficers ne would be able to guard his
fighting force with screen of mine
sweepers, destroyers, and aeroplanes,
which would render the chances of
attacking his capital ships very I'M
certain. Far at sea, however, the
screen could not be maintained.
For the purpose of the manoeuyres.
Admiral Fletcher placed his subma-
rines in reserve. ready to strike north
or south as the movements of the

in the rough weather. The other II

time and with water pouring over
them night and day, carried out their
orders. Later the blue" command

troubles encountered is given in the

his position as a member of the State
Board of Prison and Jail Inspectors.
He brought home with him two of the
small whisk brooms, such as are be-

brooms is a new one in the prison
work Until the time that the new

tuition, the small ends of the broom
corn were not saved. The broom
corn is sent from the southern states

Bears Raid Pantry

Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Crowell oil
Oquossoc returned from a months
trip to Bowdoinham one day re-
Gently where the former went on
business for the American Realty Co
They report fine trip both going and
coming, but say they saw very little
game. They left Germantown on
Monday, walking to Rump Pond
where they took the trail to Little
Boys Falls, canoeing from there to
the Parmachenee Club House. They
brought the horse which G. H. JUDD
kins had been using, out to Willow
Springs. leaving it there. Mrs. Crow
ell rode the animal at times, when
the trail allowed.
They relate an amusing incident
concerning some bears that are, to say
the least, becoming unduly familiar
with property and people in that part
of the Company's territory. The
night before they left for Oquossoc
two bears got into the dingle and
climbing up into tall cupboard. ate
up all the beef and pork it contained.
Tuesday night, so they heard later,
three bears appeared upon the scene,
miserable for several French Cana
dams who were staying there and
who had taken their spreads from
the mems camp and were sleeping on
the cook-camp floor for the sake of
warmth.
The bears first overhauled the sup
board where they had partaken of
their Sunday night lunch, or rather
where they purloined it, as they took
it into a swamp at some distance
from the camps before eating it. Find
ing said cupboard like that of "Old
Mother Hubbard" in one respect at
least, they tried the cook-camp, smell
ing all about and finally trying their
best to push open the door. One
man said: "She push, push hard; !
think sure she come in" However,
the bears failed to gain an entrance
and after a time they desisted and
left the frightened inmates Of the
COOK camp to their much-needed rest
The trio is composed of an old bear
and two cubs. Men with dog fol-
lowed their trail to the swamp where
they lost it, Mr.. Judkins has set a
trap, but Mrs. Bruin, who seems a
fairly intelligent sort of a female, had
at last accounts refused to be caught
although she reached in over the
stakes which surrounded the bait
pulled the cover off, took the meat
and sprung the trap.
