Submarine Dangers

Captain Paul KOenig, of the German merchant sub
marine Deutschland, has just written book on the
navigation Of the submarine from Bremen to Baltimore
and back to Bremen. II IS the more interesting II
view of the uncertain fate of the Bremen sister ship
of the Deutschland The Bremen, long overdue IN
American port, IS believed to be lying somewhere
on the oceans floor, her stark cOrpses.
Despite assertions made by Capt. Koenig at BaltI-
that the Deutschland easily navlgated west
ward and that the boat had less motion than ra1l-
road train, his book conveys a different picture 1t
tells how the submarine hurled about by storms
buffeted by and how at other times it bobbed
like cork on the chOppy sea Once, submergng hur-
riedlv TO escape an enemy destroyer it struck some
undeTsea obstruction hard that the crew was thrown
about the boat prOmiscuously and considered itself
dead then and there Being under the water and be-
Hsvng the submarine smashed, the received hair
raising fright Some self branded authority, Whiting
on submarines has made the assertion that subma-
rine striking obstruction under the water bounces
away from it like rubber ball and with scarcely
shock. Such does not appear 10 have been the case
with the Deutschland When the boat struck 1t struck
hard
The narrative of Captain Koenig valuable chiefly
IN showing what submarine passage Of the ocean IS
like in actual experience and how far it differs from
the theoretical experience Also, it revves the query
What has happened 10 the Bremen and how did It
happen? Perhaps the Bremen, like the Deutschland,
struck something hard but unlike the Deutschland,
smashed.

a WILD DOGS HUSTLED
TO HUNTING GROUNDS
Jersey Warden's Gun Decreases
Game and Hen Raiders.

Warden William c. Klein, guide,
philosopher and friend TO what game
remains in New Jersey, returned to his
native heath Of Clifton last night, bear
ing with him the pelts Of four wild
dogs which had dared defy him. The
dogs are erstwhile members Of the far
famed pack that has stolen the chickens
and the sleep Of settlers IN the neigh
borhood Of Greenwood Lake for many
years. SO daring had they become in
their fancied immunity that they ac-
fually began to prey on Warden Bills
rabbits and partridges.
Whereupon the doughty warden, after
issuing an ultimstum holding them 20
strict Accountability. took recourse in
armed Intervention. Goodness only
knows how many weary snow-covercd
miles he chased them over the decided
ly lumpy landscape of the lake region.
For time they eluded him. but they
didn't know your Uncle William.
On Thursday evening the warden dis
covered q deserted log cabin far of in
the hills. Inside were two wolflike
creatures. who had evidently just start
ed in housekeeping and resented intru-
sion. That is how he got two Of the
Skins. Later he discovered other mem
