DEPTH BOMB USED
BY j. S. DESTROYERS
S|NKSSUbMAR|NE

Definite news of the destruction
of another German submarine by
American destroyers reached the
Navy Department today in a
cabled report from Vice Admiral
Sims. The submarine, damaged
by depth bomb, went down with
all on board after a destroyer had
attached a line and was attempt
ing to take her i'll tow
Two destroyers took part III
the action. One, sighting a peri
scope at 400 yards. headed for it
and dropped deadly depth bomb.
Soon afterward the submarine
came to the surface, with no sign
of life aboard. The second de-
stroyer steamed up and attached
line, but the U-boat, apparently
shattered by the bomb, went to
the bottom.
Secretary Daniels announced the re-
port in this statement:
dispatches received from Admiral
Sims state that a German U-boat has
been accounted for by American de-
stroyers operating in European waters.
While on patrol duty a destroyer sight
ed a periscope 400 yards off. Immediate
ly ringing full speed ahead. the COM
officer headed his craft to pass
a few yards ahead of the submarine. AS
the destroyer passed over the U-boat's
course a depth charge was dropped.
This evidently caused damage to the
C-boat. which shortly afterward broach-
ed and came to the surface about 500
yards away.
Fire was Immediately opened on the
submarine by two Of our destroyers
which circled about their target
The submarine did not return the fire
and was evidently disabled. One Of the
destroyers got line to her intending
to tow her. but the boat soon sank"

COAL FAMINE IS FACED
BY NATIONAL CAPITAL
Fuel Administrator Unable to Learn
Why Railroads Fail to
Move Supply.

The District fuel administration Joined
with the public today in wondering
when the railroads will see fit to move
supplies Of coal intended for Wash
ington which are held up in freight
yards near Philadelphia.
Today, with steadily declining tenn
perature. the capital faced a fuel fam
inc which might develop overnight,
officials said, If snow and cold weather
should set in.

The United States fuel administra-
the whereabouts Of the $50 carloads OF
coal reported ION the way here" three
days ago. Orders have been steadily
refused by dealers for the past week
and hundreds of empty bins were in as
many District homes today.
All sources of information on coal
movements today passed the buck" to
the railroads.
Coal Held Up at Junction.
The supplies Of coal billed for WASH
ington, which have been on the road for
weeks, are being held up at junction
near Philadelphia because of "conges-
at both the United States fuel admins
tration offices and the Office Of the fed
eral fuel administrator for the District.
THE coal situation in the District IS
becoming daily more acute, said high
official today. THE railroads have the
coal on the tracks, but they are not mov-
ing 1t. Washington should be receiving
fifty cars of coal day, whereas the
amount coming in is two and three cars

What Losses Mean.

The references in these dispatches to
the fearful havoc among regiments.
brigades and divisions should be in
terpreted with the knowledge that the
Italian unit of organization Is of such
size that the reduction of an Italian
regiment to 800 or 400 men means that
upward of 1000 have fallen. From an
authoritative source this information
Is given in regard to the Italian units:
A battalion is 1000 men, in four
companies. A regiment is 5000 men
Of three battalions. A brigade is 5000
men of two regiments. A division is
two or three brigades. An army corps
Is two or three divisions. 1t is this
regimental formation of 5000 men
which makes 1t appalling fighting when
only 800 or 400 remain.

Main Fight Along Canal.

BRITISH ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN FRANCE, Friday. November ga
The main attack on the opening of the
offensive Tuesday was along the west
ern bank OF the Canal du Nord. which
runs almost due north and south from
a point little west of Havrincourt
The main Hindenburg line trenches
were built along this waterway and the
British had to fight their way up the
big ditch.
There was intense hard work almost
from the start as the Clsterites who
undertook this task got in among the
German defenses. Because of the secret
nature OF the attack no artillery could
be used to cut the tremendously strong
!lnes OF oarbed wire in front of the
trenches and the tanks were not ONE

necessary for the Irishmen to. charge

the great problem before Congress, and
which so vitally affects the peoples in

question the people should have an op-

Senator La Follette's statement that
there is no difference in Congress
about supporting the war until an hon
orable peace may be obtained" Is Of
considerable interest in view of the fact
that on Monday the Senate privileges
and elections subcommittee is to resume
its Investigations into the alleged dis

Limit to Endurance.

In fact, 1t is not denied that there is
limit to human endurance in these
circumstances and that the Italian
troops which are fighting with such
heroic bravery may have to fall back
sibility of this is diminishing with
every hour that the resistance contin-
ues. Reinforcements might yet save
the day, but it should be understood
that the Italians are fighting their
battles single-handed and that the al

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin. in
the leading editorial in La Follette's

created by the death of Senator Hust-
ing be filled by special election. He
declares his strong opposition to the

Iature grant him permission to I'LL the

Combats Governors Proposal.
THE governor has announced his pres
ent intention of calling special session
Of the legislature to secure legislation
permitting him to make an appointment,
basfng his reasons therefor on the
ground that he does not wish at this
time to give an excuse for pacifists
and anti-war propagandists to fill our
state with their literature and their ad-
vocates.' and as a further reason that
a special election would cost the people
a large sum of money.
His first reason is entirely in keep
ing with his attempts to prevent the
exercise of free speech in the state
and Is mere camoufage. His second
objection may be overcome by calling
a special election at the time of the
general April election. If the election
be obviated and the people given an
opportunity to consider the selection
wholly on the basis Of merit.

CONCRETE CHIMNEY STACK
WITH NEW FEATURES

A concrete chimney. 800 feet high,
built recently at the plant of a Tex
as smelling company, and embodying
in its construction a number of new
ideas, is described in the March Pop
ular Mechanics magazine. The shell,
or walls, forming true cicrcle and
tapering from 203s inches thick at
the bottom to inches at the top,
were built up with the aid of patent
collapsible, or adjustable, steel forms,
used in sections. These made it
easier to secure the exact amount of
tapering required as the chimney
rose in height, the concrete being
mixed and tamped in the forms. The
upper part Of the chimney was built
with patent top. including a num-
Der Of 4-inch pipe inlets, regularly
spaced around the stack for the ad-
mission Of air from the outside. This
results in arresting many Of the pro-
ducts of combustion carried up with
the smoke-which then fall down the
chimney into a hopper provided near
the base.

was so highly polished that 1t reflected
