D. c. POSTAL EMPLOYEES
PUT $l2S,OOO IN BONDS

The employees OF the Postofnce De-
partment and other postal employees
located in Washington have sub
scribed S12s,oo0 to the Second Liberty
loan, or twice as much as 70 the frst
Liberty loan, at which time their sub
scription was S63.o00.
The big mass meeting held by the
employees of the department at Polls
Theater last Tuesday afternoon had
the effect of renewing enthusiasm on
the part OF the clerks to such an ex-
tent that after the meeting, the same
day, and before noon OF the following
day the subscriptions jumped from
about S65.0o0 to 100000, and at the
close OF business yesterday afternoon
the amount was $12s,O0O.
The amount OF money subscribed to
the first Liberty loan by postmasters
and postal employees throughout the
United States was about $4,000, 900.
Reports now reaching the department
indicate that . subscriptions from
postal employees In the field service to
the second Liberty loan will aggre-
gate larger sum OF money than that

Gazing supereiliously out across
the landscape from his perch on a
block Of granite, the Kaiser's great
grandfather. five times removed,
Frederick the Great, stands guard in
bronze over the entrance to the United
States War College.
He seems content with his post.
quite cocky withaI, despite the fact
that inside the great stone building
American army officers are plotting
his descendant's downfall. When
they pass the old man. some OF them
scowl, some laugh. Many army Of
hcers are IN favor OF melting him up
to make cannon.
One newly-made captain, hrst
amazed. then amused at Frederick. re-
marked: why, there's the bird that
started all this Prussianism we are
lighting. Where the - did he come
fromf"
The fact Is, Theodore Roosevelt,
arch-apostle of anti-PrussIanlsm to-
day, put him there thirteen years ago
at Kaiser Bills personal request. And
among the kind words President
Roosevelt .lavished upon the Kaiser

were these:
"we receive this gift at the hands
of the present Emperor, himself o.
man who has markedly added to the
luster Of his great house and his
great nation. who has made II evi-
dent that they desire peace and
friendship with the other nations OF
the earth ! accept II with deep ap-
probation OF the friendly regard
which II typines for the people OF
this republic"
T. R. then proceeded to euIogize
Frederick, comparing him favorably
with Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal
and Napoleon. He mentioned kindly
"the ancient and illustrious house Of
Hohenzollern."

falling to blow up the surface OF the
ocean. the bomb must blow in the
submarine.
aThe destructiveness of the bomb
against the submarines will depend
upon two things: first, the depth at
which It is detonated, and second
the distance from the bomb to the
submarine. Manifestly, then, 1t is
advisable to detonate the bomb be-
low the submarine, as the shock
transmitted will be proportianately
greater than IL 1t were above 1t,
other things being equal.
Distance and Effects.
"As to the distance at which an
explosion would be absolutely de-
structive, rupturing the plating and
sinking the submarine. Mr.. Hudson
Maxim writes us. that IL 500 pounds
of T. N. T. were exploded deep under
water within 125 feet OF a deeply
submerged submarine, 1t would com
pIeteIy destroy It. Smaller charges
would, of course. have to be deton-
ated proportionately closer to the
submarine to secure destructive ac-
ton.

Incidentally, the writer Of the article
points out that a depth bomb does not
have to strike q submersible to be ef-

Glaborating this point. the writer says !:
It's (the depth bomb's) destructive

that water IL incompressible and that

Gas Seeks Easiest Escape.
'It will be remembered that in one
Of our earlier chapters on the sub
marine (Scientifc American, June 0,

son Maxim that four cubic feet of

produces 10000 cubic feet of gas.
NOW, when mine, or bomb. or tor

In the case of a torpedoed ship,
this line leads into the hollow IN

court that he knew of instances where
contested wills had been tempered

The wills are still in the possession
of Clerk Harry A. Wilder, who has
been instructed by the court to place
them under lock and key. He has

taken out only when wanted in court.
The court early in December will hear
argument on the motions to admit
both wills to probate. The question
now before the court is the appoint
