The first appearance of verdun in
 the pages of history was in the time sof Julius Caesar. who established at
 verodunum, as it was then called, a
 magazine for his leeions. The Ger ifnans first attacked Verdun in the 9th
 Century, when the Franks from north-
 western Germany took possession of
 the town. By the famous treaty of eVerdun, made on this date in 843, Nerdun formed part of the dominions of Lothaire. It was taken and an-
 nexed to the German Empire in 939 by Otho l.. and placed under the tenn sboral authority of the bishops ver- \ dun surrendered to France in 1552. but was not formally ceded to France until neas1y century later. During the French revolution, in 1792. the
 chizens of verdun opened their gates fto the PrussianS, after a lombard
 ment of a few hours. The French ! 'cOmmandant committed suicide. but the revolutionary government exe- ecuted a number of others who shared Sthe responsibility for the ignominious
 eurrender including girls who had ycffersd flowers to the, Prussian mon tarch,t The Prussians were driven out
 after having held the town 43 days. The Teutonic hosts again swooped
 down upon verdun in 1870. Unable to take the town by direct assault
 they invested and bombarded it, and

The Argonaut and tho Deutschland are somewhat similar in appearance when one compares pic- lures of them. Two facts stand out One, that Simon Lake, native of Pleasantville, N. J..whose grandfather. also Simon Lake, founded Ocean City, N. J., achieved the greatest invention of the sos when he built a submarine boat by means of waich the bottom of the ocean and the surface could be- traverscd.
 The other outstanding fact is that even if the Germans have encroached upon Lake's invention they have made "Twenty Thousand Leagues Un- der the Sea" look like summers joke and inaugurated an undersea service that may become as common and pop ular as river ferry trip.

 We loafed along, crawled about and explored for another hour. Suddenly there came a crash. The boat shook from stem to stern. had been tor pedoed' again without warning. and thought the "shot" had taken etiect.

 They were the most comforting words I'd ever heard. We suffered no damage and continued our ''voy- age" Toward the end of the fourth hour the air was becoming bad and our ears were beginning to ring" MT. Lake decided we had been down long enough and led us to the forward part of the boat. We looked through a glass door into the diving compart- ment. Inere OlVeT was duJuStAhe his armor His task completed, he stepped down into a hole in the bot tom and entered the water. A plate that covered the hole was placed in position. Then the boat began to rise. Oh, joyful sensation! We knew we were homeward bound.
 Smiles replaced grim faces. and a few jokes were exchanged. One re- member-the newspaper woman ask ed: "Are we going up?"
 "Yes," I replied. "up and out. too."
 When we came to the surface and climbed out on the deck the diver we had seen leave the vessel few nip- utes before stood there to welcome us. He had climbed up an iron ladder on te side of the boat.
 We thanked MT. Lake for the ex- perience and hurried away to inform the dear public how it felt to de- scend to the bottom of the Patapsco river and crawl along the bed.
