The following account of the en-
gagement was prepared from the

Navy Department.
The American destroyer first
sighted the submarine in the early
morning of a clear day. The sea was
entirely calm with hardly a ripple
or foam. The submarine was running
submerged with only her periscope

16 WEEKS DRILL
FOR NEWU.S.ARMY
Is WAR PROGRAM
Extensive Course Mapped Out
For Work in Open With
Lectures
By Associated Press


Washington, Oct. 6.-Training
work mapped out by the War Depart
ment for National Guard and Ma
uonal Army divisions before they
will be regarded as ready for duty
abroad is bacsed or siXteen-week
course of the most intensive kind
of work in the open. varied with lee
lures by American and allied Off
GERS who are experts in modern war
fare. To insure uniformity of train
ing throughout the entire Army. di-
Nisional commanders have been
urged to see that the schedules an
nounced are followed closely.
Great stress IS laid upon the neces-
sity for night training. Trench raid
ing. scouting, trench building and
operations of all kinds which may be
called for in actual combat will be
duplicated at the camps through the
night hours. To give the men some
respite. their Wednesday and Sat
urday afternoons will be kept free,
except in the case of backward in
dividuals or units. Target practice
runs through the entire course and
the schedules call for forty hours
training each week.
\ Novel Feature
A striking feature of the program
is the fact that practically the en-
tire sixteen weeks will be devoted to
training individual platoons and
companies. Brigade, divisional and
even regimental exercises are re-
served for a later period with some
minor exception during the last
weeks. Since the platoon, command
ed by a lieutenant is the actual fight
ing unit in trench battles the new
regulations fix upon the lieutenants
of each company the responsibility
for training of less than company
units, so that they may get in close
touch with their men and TO set up
an understanding of each other that
will be invaluable when they nhalS
"go over the top
Rigid requirement is made that OF
ficers be present with their COM
mands at all drills and clock-like
regularity in carrying out training
schedules is insisted upon. The whole
system is to be co-ordinated and pre-
pared in advance so that each officer
and man will know just the work to
be done during the day and night
before him.
New elements will be injected into
the training each week so that eV-
cry phase of modern trench warfare
will be dealt with. The lecture pro-
gram is calculated to show the SOL
dier not only Just what he is to eN-
pect at the front. but also what will
be his duties under all circumstances
of war. Lectures with graphic illus
trations will show all that three
years of war have brought of gas
attack, of bombing and of bayonet
work
First aid instruction holds a high
splace for wounded soldiers to-day
who must depend largely upon them
selves and their immediate neigh
bors in a shell torn trench for first
treatment.
The instruction starts with that of
individual soldiers, changes gradu-
ally until the squad of eight men
spend most of their time in joint
drill. which merges into platoon

ROME, Italy, June 12.-Wartlme
Rome is slowly regaining the 100000
population of the city in its prime
during the second century, according
to the recent census report which
places the present population at 64S,-
col. without counting large number
of troops and wounded soldiers. The
annual floating population is estimat-
ed at 100000, with 53S,346 permanent
residents. Rome had population OF
less than 10000 in the year 1,S47 when
Cola di Rilenzo temporarily restored
the ancient Republic. With the return
OF the Popes and wealth in 1870 the
population slowly increased to $4,000
souls in the sixteenth century. and at
the close of papal rule in 1870 the
population was 221, 900. The census of
1901 placed the population at 424,943

been most gratifying. Atlanta is the
headquarters for the central commit
tee of the woman's organizations of
the Sixth Federal Reserve district,
with Mrs. P. J. MCGOWAN as chairman.
The results show how well she and
her committees have worked.
The Sixth district includes Georgia,

work, it has gotten into touch With

and church organizations. Letters and
