SUBMARINE TACTICS.
Locating the Enemy, Getting the Range
and Making an Attack.


and Making AZ Attack.
How does a submarine attack? How
does it locate the vessel it wishes to
torpedo and now does it proceed about
the business of sending such vessel to
the bottom? Here is the way the CON-
mander Of Uncle Sans submarine fio-
tilla tells it:
"A submarine will come to the sur
face at 5000 or 5000 yards from the
vessel it Is attacking-far enough so
the enemy is hot supposed to see the
p~eriscope. 1t stays up long enough to
get the enemy's course, then goes down
and sets it's course to intercept the en-
emy's ship.
THE vessel must be coming more or
less toward the submarine. otherwise
the submarine, with Its low submerged
speed. cannot catch 1t.
1.-THE officers Of the submarine will
know the revolutions Of the approach
ing ship and will use the gyrocompass
with which to work out it's exact posi-
ton. They will know just when to
come up to be within range.
when the submarine up IL
will show the p%erisc0pe as little as pos.
sible, take quick aim and fire its first
torpedo. If 1t wants to remain there
out Of curiosity to see the effect it can.
But If it does not it goes right down
again.
1T stays a short time under water,
turns the cap bringing new torpedoes
up into the tubes and then comes up
for q second shot il necessary."-Pitts-
burgh Press.

AME ERICAM LAKE HAS HISTORIC
 RECORD
(By Associated Press)

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 20. - Am eriean Lake, where has been estab- llshed Camp Lewis, for the training of many thousands of soldiers of the new Liberty Army" is in a section rich in historic lore.
 American lake is one of several lakes in an expanse of level country between Puget Sound and the foothills of the Cascade mountains, to the south of Tacoma This section is known as American prairie, the name given to it at the first Fourth of July celebra- ton on the Pacific coast in 1841. Up to that time it was known as Mission ary prairie. The celebration is said to have been the first prearranged pat. riotic observance west of the Missis. sippi river,
 There were not many whites in this section up to 1S41. Fort Nisqually was maintained as a Hudson's Bay Company post through the early part of the last century and up to 1870. It was at this fort that Captain Charles Wilkes arrived with two schooners early in 1S41. This was part of an ex- petition on scientific research, author ized by congressional act of May IS. | 1856 Under instructions several yes sells proceeded into southern waters. and later two schooners. the Vim cennes and the Porpoise, voyaged along the California coast and the Pa cific northwest section. In the spring of 1841 they entered Puget Sound. It seems to have been purely scientific expedition, and the sev. eral scientists along operated with Fort Nisqually as their base.
 As the Fourth of July was coming along, arrangements were made for observing the day, and this included q barbecue and program of sports, par | ticipated in by marines and the friend. l ly Indians. This celebration took place at the head of lake Sequalit- chew, near old Fort Nisqually. It was on this occasion that Captain Wilkes and small party walked over to the adjoining lake. and while this 1 lake had no important work in the celebration, he named it American. | Up to this time the lake bore the name of Spootsylth, which suggests the un- canny reputation 1t bore among the Indians. They would for some super stitious reason never bathe in the lake. Americans are not given to that feeling, and do so with impunity. Among the early residents there was some dispute as to how Wilkes came to name the lake American" The reason appears obvious, but some re- counted the fact that Dr. J. P. Rich

QUICKLY LEARN LANGUAGE OF
 FRENCH
(By United Press)

AMERICAN FIELD HEAUQrAR. TIERS. France, Sept. IS. - Hey, ma dame! Nix on that, see yo play" That's our American solder speaking French. Pas throwez dishwater in the front yards. C'est tres non bon. Premiere thing you know therell be tres flies buzzing around and then we'll all be mort la typhoid"
 A soldier from the states is stand ing In the doorway of the little white washed French cottage. where he makes his home during the training period. and Madame, her dripping dishpan held under her arm, is begin ming to understand
 From his lingo she gathers that throwing dish water into the dooryard is one of the little things one doesn't do in America. The soldier takes the dishpan from her. walks to the edge of the street and goes through mo- tions of pouring its contents into the gutter.
 Company youz?" he asks, hopeful iy. Company. Yourez vous dishwa- ter into el guttero." He absorbed some Spanish on the border "Ah! oui, oui," says madam, as the light of full comprehension spreads over her weatherbeaten face. "verree good"
 The quick and resourcefui efficiency of the American soldier has over thrown many customs fin these little French villages. The Americans threw themselves into the valley towns all in a bunch. Details of sol diers cleared up the streets and since that day 1t has been everyone's duty to keep them clean.
 Cleanliness came in the extreme de- gree - and came to stay. Whitewash buckets appeared and the smudgy gray of old whitewash smiled anew in the brilliant sunlight. And santa tion came to the barn yard. Altogether the villages were not much worse than some American farm villages, But they were not up to the army health standards until the soldiers made them so. The French people have given the American boys welcome such as no foreign troops ever before received in this country. The American soldier is saluted in grave military fashion by every French youngster along the road And
 he salutes back.
 The floppy-hatted "Chasseurs" ! (chasers) - the French regiment that
 Is helping to train the Americans - has learned the meaning of put 'er second" and before long the French and Americans will be playing com petitive ball
 On the other hand the American soldier has a speaking acquaintance with the waitress at the village hotel. When he drops in during the evening
 and asks for "trois hard boiled oofs, | ayec pain ct choloah, toot-sweet," she | comes back with a smiling Sure, | Mike" and brings in the desired nour. ishment plenty quick.
