SUBMARINES ARE BUSY
DODCINC DESTROYERS
CAPTURED DIARIES SHOW u
BOATS ARE HAVING HARD
TiME-FEW NERO n AN r M E N
HAVE BEEN SUNK LATELY.

Base of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, Oct Diaries taken
from captured U-boat commanders
furnish documentary evidence that
the destroyer is the most effective
of present weapons against the sub
marine. avoided destroyer is the
oft-repeated entry. In fact these logs
show conclusively that the submarine
is having hard time II it.
The result of the destroyer activ-
ity during the last four weeks has
been not only a decrease in casual
ties of merchant ships, but also
still more satisfactory increase in
the number of submarines sunk.
The conveying of merchantmen
has now reached a stage of consider
able perfection after many months
work in training both the officers of
merchant ships and the personnel
of the patrol flotilla.
While systematic conveying was
undertaken primarily as defensive
measure, it has now developed that
conveying is at the same time the
best offensive measure yet devised.
against the U-boat.
The offensive side of conveying
may be shown by an illustration.
When q submarine tries to torpedo
a conveyed ship-as submarines are
now compelled to do owing to the
infrequency of unconvoyed shipping
there is always destroyer on the
scene and the chances of her getting
that particular submarine are cor
respondingly increased. The wake
of the torpedo is generally seen by
the destroyer's lo0kouts and 1t gives
a good line on the direction where
the submarine is lying. The de-
strOyer immediately steers a course
full speed in the line shown by the
torpedo's wake and drops repeated
depth charges along this course.
In a considerable proportion this
proves effective, for these depth
charges cause considerable commo-
ton over a considerable radius.
The Associated Press correspond
ent was told of three cases during
the last fortnight in which submar-
ines were thus destroyed. In many
Instances NO doubt submarines are

cation above the water, of their loss.
sun others are badly crippled, as.
in the case Of the damaged German
U-bOat which was recently interned
in Spain.
Another. submarine which will
never return to Germany was sunk
under peculiar circumstances short
time ago. This U-boat torpedoed a
ship bound from the United States.
1t is extremely unwise and unsafe to
fire a torpedo at such close range,
but the U-boats must take their
targets as they get them these days.
The torpedoed ship was loaded with
a cargo of heavy war material and
the explosion was SO forcible that it
blew large piece of heavy material
through the deck of the ship and
dropped it on the submarine as the
latter was submerging. The hull of
the submarine was crushed like an
egg shell and she sank with all on
board

Must Have Leadership in Or
ganization.

The time is ripe for organization of
individuals within communities, of
communities within counties, of coun-
ties within states. but all of this or
anization must be done with pur-
pose. Eficial leadership is abso-
lutely essential for the develop
ment of cooperation along effective
lines. Without a purpose in mind
and without the guidance Of a compe-
tent leader this organization will re-
suit in little gain.
A County Agent the Logical Leader.
There is good leadership in practi-
cally every community in Arkansas
provided this leadership is properly
guided. Every citizen needs to con-
tribute portion of his time TO leader
ship in community activities. These
unframed leaders, however, require
the guidance OF a person skilled in
problems of leadership and organiza-
ton Today county agents, men who
are trained in qualities of leadership,
are serving the communities in their
counties in this capacity Under
their guidance neighbors become bet
ter neighbors, communities cooperate
for their own good, purpose of or
ganiEatiin is defined and organiza-
tons live. that spirit OF cooperation
expressed In ordinary neighborliness
lie extended in the many ways possi-
BILE for the benefit of all communi-
ties In other words the county
agent becomes leader of leaders, d.
recting this natural leadership OF the
country along lines OF greatest value
to all people.

Grain Review

Chicago. April 1s.-Wheat prices ran
up swiftly today about cents a bushel
Jumping at times 1c and cents be-
tween sales. Trading was active and
excited, but the volume was not in pro-
portion to the sensational extent Of the
advances. Urgency Of demand from ex-
porters and millers seemed to be the
chief basis Of the new upturns which
were to points far above any hereto
fore touched. Advices appeared to indi-
cate that hopes of any immediate large
shipments from Canada to United
states markets were not to be realized,
ard that shipments from United States
ports to Europe were to be pushed to
the utmost, especially as the western
German submarines. Opening prices.
