PERFECTED U.BOATS
 PUZZLE TO ALLIES
Devices Enable Submarines to
 Hide and Strike Unseen

Washington. July 7.-Developments submarines since April 1, it was learned on high authority today, have made the U-boat menace still more bafflinG to tho allies.
 The four known developments since April l are:
 Four small pumps, regulated by electrical devices so the hydrostat will indicate the depth of submersion, by which the submarine is enabled to remain motionless under the wa tor Formerly the submarine was obliged to come to the surface like
 whale; it planed up, assumed level position on the surface, and to sub merge 1t planed down for the dive. tho operation requiring two and a half minutes. It was obliged also to continue in motion always unless an- chored to the bottom. being in this respect like an airplane, which has to keep going or fall to the earth The submarine, before the new device was installed, would either sink or rise to the surface if it stopped.
 With the pumps, if the tendency is to rise when the U-Boat is motion less, more water is pumped in; if the tendency is to sink. water is pumped out. Thus the submarine is now en- abled to visit any spot in the ocean, submerge to the desired depth and lie perfectly still.
 Before this device was installed the throb of the submarines propells was heard by submarine chasers. Now the submarine may elude the pursuer by standing still under water. Formerly the submarine used up the power in its storage batteries. and that meant fuel consumption in some form. Now by being able to remain still the boats consume less fuel and are enabled tc stay at their posts for a considerably longer time than formerly.
 German submarines are using tele- scopic periscopes. The U-boat floats very near to the surface. then. sud- denly shoots up its periscope. in this manner being nabled to detect as quickly as being detected. The tele- scope in the same manner may he withdrawn instantly, and the subma rine can change its position without leaving a wake. Heretofore the per. l iscope went sla,shing through the water leaving a great white wake. Now the German submarines arc using the Diesel engine, 1t being sup. piled with oxygen and mixture o1 strained gas. which takes the place o1 air. The exhaust Is broken up by 2 series of widespread, fine meshed nets so that the gas is washed free O smoke, and on coming to the surface l it Is in infinitesimal bubbles whicl do not make any wake. l Remarkable improvements hav' been made in the German subma
 rines' telephones and listening de vices, enabling them to hear and To | cate at a considerable distance th' direction and the type of vessels from 1 the frequency of their propeller re turns. This listening radius is usual 1 ly about five miles.

GRAND JURY DEMANDS DISCHARGE
 OF THREE ASSISTANT SOLICITORS
Birmingham Is to Reap Profits Not Dreamed of
 Three Short Years Ago
J. Porter Tells Why This District Is One of Most Blesed in Entire United States From Material Standpoint-Bir-
 minghams Opportunity Is Now at Hand

War is horrible and everybody laments it, but since it is upon us, Birmingham will reap benefits from it in material way such as can scarcely be calculated.
 This is the view of H. J. Porter, close observer and student of business condi- tions.
 The cash pay rolls now being distrib- uted in the Birmingham district are larger by far than they have ever been in the history of this industrial region" said Mir. Porter, but when the govern ment gets into the market on the scale now planned this section will find itself blessed in a material way none of us could have dreamed of three years ago.
 T say the district is especially blessed, because it has the commodities which are most essential in the conduct of war. It has the things which are absolutely nec- essary and for which the demand will be continuous and enormous. If there has been any slackening of general busi- ness here it is but temporary Some few men may have felt that it was the part of wisdom to await developments before

JOB OF SWITCHING"
 IS NO SINECURE NOW
One Attacked by Woman With Ak
 and Another Almost Mobbed

There was a day when snitching" was one of the fine arts in Birmingham and the devotees of that profession" went forth with safety and confidence, on their rounds but those good old days are all most over and "snitching" is rapidly get ting to be classed as one of the hazardous occupations.
 It is extremely doubtful whether any company having a regard for the interests of it's policyholders would insure one of them, for they have almost come to carry their lives in their hands and there is no means yet invented by any fertile brain by which to foreca st when some outraged victim is going to turn like the worm in the fable, and in stead of meekly turning the other cheek, as Job was wont to do. pick up something and smite the betrayer with a blow more forceful than a love pat.
 Something of this nature happened when one of these alleged gentry ap- preached a negro woman last night and with much licking of the lips and an air of desolation inquired whether she could could furnish perishing mortal with to put little spirit" in him. The woman, having nothing or having recognized his species from afar, denied any relationship to the good samaritan" {" which seemed to peeve the aforesaid thirsty traveller, and he proceeded to con- vey the idea that he knew more about her business than she did herself, which she naturally resented, and this antag- onistic attitude brought on more talk which continued until threats were made by the alleged "snitch,' whereupon the woman, not being of an amicable frame of mind or despairing of convincing him to the contrary by mere words, picked up an axe and endeavored to cut off the of- lending right hand of the other party.
 This resulted in his having her ar rested on charge of attempted murder and in his having very bad right hand.
 Only a week or two ago an alleged "snitch'' had to take refuge in a house and summon aid from the police to keep from being roughly handled and possibly lynched by an enraged crowd of negroes. Verify. the profession or "snitching' is no sineCur0.

ARMY RECRUITING
 CONTINUES BRISK
Two Hundred and Twenty Five Sent Off Already
 This Month

Captain McKenney sent off 20 men to Fort Oglethorpe yesterday. This brings his total up to 225 for the present month, an average of about 20 day There has been an increase in recruiting since the new plan of allowing postmasters to accept recruits has been adopted. Post masters have been authorized to accept men into the following branches: Cav z. airy, field artillery, infantry, quarter { masters corps and engineers corps. There has been some misapprehension las to the status of boolxkeepers, ste- tnographers and clerks in the army. Men desiring to enlist in one of these capac1- ties must enlist as private in the quar- tefmasters' or engineers corps in the reg ular army. They will then receive recog- nition and advancement as they demon strate. ability. Board, heat, light, cloth ing, lodging, medicine, hospital and doc tors service are furnished free In addi- tion a private receives $15 a month, and relatively larger amounts are paid higher grade men.
 Men wishing to qualify in these corps must present two letters from respon- sible parties, certifying to their clerical dpiiitlCSs IL thSy PdSSo liiC AS5 diStl C}A- animation of privates, they are enlisted and sent to Fort Oglethorpe, where they receive their uniforms and some training a., soldiers. Later, they are assigned to their corps.
 The following were sent off yesterday: Lynn A. Garner. Norman M. Morrison, Benjamin E. Higgins, Roy Meade, James c. Lee, Perry H. Rogers, David R. Max well, Robert E. Orgain, Jr., Arthur L. McGee, John L. Williamson, Greene H. Jones, Russell Jones, William Fl. Jones, John Lee Spinks, William F. Davidson, Whitley V. Hamilton, Jefferson l.. Stou- benmire, Sealam J. Welburn, Ernest E. Evans, John Gortman.
 The navy sent off four yesterday: o. D. Ellard, A. H. Crenshaw, B. Ruzic and B. R. Young. T. o. Lokey and P. P. Casper applied.
 Because all receiving ships and training stations are full, the local office has re- eeived orders to send off no more yeomen or hospital men for few days. This in no way means these departments are full, that recruits to these branches will be kept at home few days before being sent off.
 One man was sent away by the marine office yesterday, William A. Little.
 The marines will have big campaign throughout the country during the week of June 10-16. The aim of the campaign is 4000 new men, which it is thought will bring the marine corps up to full strength.
