Fire At Smith Mills.

Henderson. KY, April 10.-For
the fourth time in twelve months the
little city of Smith Mills was visited
by disastrous fire this morning. en-
failing a loss of approximately $751;
500, with $4,000 insurance. The ORR
gin of the fire is not known, but is be-
lieved to have started from lighted
cigar thrown into a wooden box con-
tanning sawdust and used as a GUS
pidor.
The fire was first discovered by
Orving Rapp. who gave the alarm. A
shower of rain earlier in the night
probably saved the town from de-
struction.
Those who lost by the flames were

SIDELIGHTS
ON The WAR
Torpedo Boats Are Enemies
i. of Submarines.
Religious Services Are Held At
4 the Kaiser's Head
quarters.

Count Revenlow, in the Berlin
Tangeszeitung, describes a "submar-
inc hunt" by British destroyers as
follows:
"The light-footed torpedo boats
either cruise at definite distances
from each other or they lie still, pre-
serving the same distances. Each of
them, however. exercises all the time
an extremely careful control of that
section OF the sea appointed for IL.
The moment that a periscope of a
submarine appears above the surface,
II is fired at. or else torpedo boat
which happens TO be favorable placed
for the maneuver leaps at top speed
toward the point where the subma-
rine has appeared, its object being
to ram the submarine before the ad-
versary has seen II or has time to
dive deep enough to enable the YES
sci to glide over il.
t"Even If the attempt TO ram is a
failure, the enemy's destroyers in
crease their watchfulness, on the
ground that he submarine must
sooner or later come somewhere TO
the surface to get its bearings. That
is particularly the case in waters
where there is a great deal OF mer-
chant shipping.
Owing to the narrow range OF VI
sion of the submarine through its
periscope, compared with the range
of its own visibility from the bridge
OF a destroyer. il is quite possible
for a destroyer to reach the spot.
travelling at full speed. before the
submarine in turn can sight the
destroyer and dive for safety.
1T follows necessarily that sub
marines should show themselves as
little as possible on the surface OF
the water. Recently II has been re-
peatedly stated that German subma-
rines have summoned British or
French steamers TO stop and ordered
the crew to leave the vessel by Sig
nal or megaphone. That is doubtless
humane, but it is exceedingly dan
gerous, and may be even suicide.
q "Destroyers so far off. or in such
" light as TO be yisable from sub
marine. may be lurking or may note
the meeting of submarine and steam
er and may rapidly approach the

A sample of Prosperity.

President Wilson contends that the
country is in a prosperous condi-
twithstanding the govern
ments cash fund is at the danger
line, the outgo exceeding the income
and Congress bothered about raising
sufficient revenue from a nation al
ready taxed to the limit-and no i'm
mediate relief in sight.
Caldwell County is probably no ex-
ceptiOn to the general rule through
out the country-there is no reason
why it should be-and this being
the case. the bank figures refute
President Wilson's statement and
show a wonderful falling off in depos-
its by the people.
The statements of the fifteen banks
of this country for corresponding
period of last year showed the peo-
pie of Caldwell County had deposits
aggregating $2,C2S,1S1.S8; this
year the same banks show deposits
aggregating only $1,913,176.17-a
decrease of $115,005.71 for the
county.
If every county throughout the
nation shows a decrease SO little
as half as much, the depreciation
should be sufficient to convince even
the President that there's just lit

Twas Sure Some Fish-But the
Kaiser's Kind.
Four fishermen who had anchored
their boat near Deal report visit
from a German submarine. which
scared the quartet out of their wits
and spoiled the fishing for the day,
says a London cable.
One of the men noticed a disturb
ance of the water just beyond the
end of his fishpole. He shouted to
his companions. thinking that
shark or some other big fish had
been entangled in his lines. All four
had their eyes glued to the spot,
when a submarine emerged a few
yards away. A door in the top open
ed and a single head appeared for a
minute or two. Then the head with
drew, the door was closed and the
craft sank slowly out of sight.
AS soon as the fishermen regained
their senses they took off their
clothes and put on life preservers
in case their boat, barely large
enough to boast a sail, was attacked.
The wind being dead for the moment
they rowed for the shore. where they
informed the life guards of their es-
cape.
Harden Says Mines Will Circle Bri-
tain.
Maximiiian Harden in his latest
lecture at Berlin on the course of
the war said:
Our chief enemy, England, has,
il is true. not yet received any NOR
tai wound, but the greatest danger
is threatening her from our subma-
rines. AS soon as we have succeeded
in extending the radius of action
of the four bigger submarine types
they can be used for lavish laying of
mines.
ION that day the island kingdom
will find itself surrounded by a new
circle of mines and her mastership of
the sea will be at an end. In every
thing Germany can have confidence.
After eight months of tremendous
struggle, II is true, II is not standing
as conqueror, but it's power is un-
touched"
Last August Germany had build
ing five submarines of the type u
$3.50, of 500 tons displacement,
surface speed Of 10, and radius of
$500 or 5000 miles. In addition to
four 2O-inch torpedo tubes-two for

two large disappearing rapid-fire
guns capable of firing shells either

the merchantmen may prove fatal
to the submarine.
"The torpedo boat is the subma-
rine's worst enemy. They can be used
in all waters. There are large num-
bers of them available. They are ex-
ceedingly mobile, and can rise from
passivity to maximum speed at a

The Normal Basketball team was
defeated by the Carbonate players
last night in the latter city by score
of 43 to Is. According to a message
to The Tribune, the local athletes did
not show well, and this handicap,
coupled with hard luck in plays,
brought about their defeat.
Lane was disqualified by foul and
his loss from the game had discour-

CAPE COUNTY MAY
GET BIG HATCHERY
Bridges Asks if He Should Use
Influence to Land
Project.

In the correspondence offered to the
Commercial Club by Secretary A. H.
Hinchey, at its meeting last evening,
was a letter from Representative H.
w. Bridges, enclosing copy of a bill
which provides for the establishing of
a fish hatchery in Southeast Missouri,
and requesting the Commercial Club
to advise him whether or not it was
the wish of the people of Cape Cir
ardeau to have him use his influence
to secure the proposed industry for
this county.
The secretary was instructed to
write Mr.. Bridges and ask him to adj
wise the club if the bill passed, and
then they would decide as to what fur
Their action should be taken in the
matter.
A letter of Frank NJ. Robinson,
manager of the motion picture exhibit
for Missouri to be displayed at the
San Francisco fair, was read to the
meeting. Mr.. Robinson advised that
for $500, they could secure about 25O
feet of films showing scenes in South
east Missouri, to be displayed daily
at the fair. The matter was referred
to the publicity committee.
Prof. Seth Babcock of the agricul-
tural committee reported that they
had made out a premium list for the
products exhibit, and that the $3.50
provided would be ample to cover ev-
cry expense of the exhibit.
Secretary Hinchey, in his report for
the special committee that had gone
to Jefferson City, stated that the trip
was beneficial and that while they
were not promised all the help they
had asked in behalf of the Normal
they were granted many things which
they would not have received had they
not attended. He said they were al
lowed everything sought, except the
appropriation of $4,000 for the new
agricultural building.
He spoke in commentator of Rep,
resentative Bridges efforts in behalf
of Southeast Missouri. He said that
when he arrived in Jefferson City he
found that on every desk in the House

FLUE SETS FLANNERY
RESIDENCE ON FIRE
Defective Smoke Stack Ignites
House as Family Start for
Theater.

The home of NJ. L. Flannery, at
1909, William street, caught fire from
a defective fue, last evening at about
$50 o'clock, and when first discovered
the flames had broken through the
roof, and the entire upstairs was burn
ing.
Before the fire department could
send assistance the roof had fallen in
and the upper story was in state of
ruin. All the furniture and other
household goods contained in the up
stairs rooms was total loss, and
while everything was saved from the
lower floors, nothing escaped damage
from fire or water.
The family was just preparing to
leave the premises to go to the show
and when they reached the yard they
were attracted by the brilliant light
from the blaze that had broken
through the roof.
Mr.. Flannery is stationery en-
gineer, employed by the Frisco Rail
road Co. He owns the property in
which he lives, and estimates his dam
age at about $1,000. He carried in
surance to the amount of $500.
The fire department encountered
great difficulty in reaching the scene
of the blaze, on account of the muddy
condition of the streets in that par
ticular locality. In places the wheels
of the heavy wagon would drop to
the hubs in the miry track.
