CRUSHING SUBMARINES
England Finds Way-Over Forty
U-Boats Destroyed Last Month
Believe Problem is Solved.

A dispatch from Boston TO the
Wall SJleeC journal puulIsneu to-uay
says: AuuiIiOnaI cvnhrmat.on mas
! arrived or our recent statement that
England has solved the German SUD-
, marine problem. we nave rne details
geographical, nautical ana hydraull-
cal, but must report only in general
terms.
Inc British Admiralty mas wisely
refrained and will continue to refrain
from figures, details or any announce
ment that would in any way guide
Germany.
Our latest report is that in a single
recent month the destroyers of the AL
lied navies ended the career Of more
than DO German submarines.
The remedy for the submarine is
so simple that it is most remarkable
it was not applied almost from the
beginning.
The submarine is an egg-shell and
it can be crushed like an egg-shell,
and that is what is being done with
them. At first they were netted.
Then net cutting apparatus was sup
piled to the submarine and the net
ting device quickly became inetfec-
tive.
Then aeroplanes and submarine
chasers co-operated. In clear waters
the submarine can be detected from
an aeroplane at a depth of more tnan
100 feet. Submarine chasers stud
led surface bubbles and surface indi-
cations. Locating a submarine,
groups of destroyers and chasers
were summoned to the spot and then
the territory for miles around was
covered as by spokes from wheel.
Now submarine location being
discovered it is netted most effective
". It is circled by bombs lowered
under water over wide area. The
simultaneous explosion of these m!n2s
bv electrical devices will crush any
underwater craft.
without waiting for U-boat acti"-
tiles the destroyers now fish for ana
crush them just as effectively as
niece of dynamite is used on pond

REGISTRATION IN HAND
Federal Officials Expect No Serious
Disturbance at Registration.

| Department of Justice officials are
of the opinion that the situation with
respect to the draft army registra-
ton next Tuesday is well in hand;
that there will be no really serious
disturbances, and that the nation
will wake up Wednesday to find
that outbursts have been sporadic,
and not the result of general feel
ing against the law.
1t was pointed out at the depart
ment last night that more than 10,-
100000 men are required to register
under the law, and that it would be
surprising indeed if such day were
to pass off without incident, as no
general election ever held in this
country passes without some disor-
der.
The department expects that there
may be number of evasions of the
registration provision that will look
large in total. but not when the
great number subject to the law is
considered. Many even of those
who do evade Tuesday are counted
upon eventually to come forward to
make good without prosecution. 1t
was said last night that, out of the
l0.O00,OOO, officials were confident
the slackers will not number l in
100.
Wabeno, Wis, June because
of alleged attempts to discourage
enlistments by telling applicants
they were "fools to make manure
and cannon fodder of themselves,
DR.. Hugo Miller, of Laona. Wis,
Government physician on an Indian
reservation, was seized by citizens of
Wabeno Thursday night. thrown into
the river, hauled out and forced to
march, at the head Of q parade
through the centre Of the town car
rying an American flag.
Before the parade ended Doctor
Miller was made to kneel, kiss the
flag and retract his utterances.

Boothe if he already had rules SINH
lar to the ones presented why ask
for new ones. The idea, Mr.. Boothe
said, is to get it up so it can be de-
termined once and for all and the
company is in a position where it
must raise finances for necessary
improvements.
President Smith said he had lis
tened with attention to Mr.. Boothe's
remarks and he did not think it right
to Law all trouble at the feet of the
people who filed the petition for a
reduction Of rates. BEFORE the suit
was instituted the company he said
had great many ears" and knew
what was going on.
Continuing he said: awe might as
well face it squarely; you got to
stand with the company or the
people; / am going to stand with the
people. Anyone knows that the
Water Company always contended
that no power under heaven had a
right to do anything to them Nc
power of state or municipality ever
dared tell the Water Company. The
people who filed the petition con-
cluded it was humbuggery and the
Water Company was never willing
to meet the city on fair or concilla
tory basis.
"In it's answer filed the compan!
denied the right of the commission
to regulate it. The record show:

Later in the proceedings / made
n motion to examine the books ant
ascertain what is fair earning
and this was contested. The II
nance committee employed an eN
pert to examine the books. Th
Water Company refused to ALLOW
him to proceed. We never mad
the examination. Now the situa
ton changes. I think they realiz
now that humbuggery about contro
This situation has been going on TO
