one leg of his knickers hanging
loose-stood in front of little

can pin on your cap. A nice lady
came up and looked in With him.

he said. pointing to one Of the lit

walked down the street little bit
later the small boy took off his cap
quite often to look at it.

Night Attacks.

Night attacks by submarines are
not especially to be feared, as it is
nearly as easy for Il vessel to see a
submarine as it is for u submarine to
Sc" L vessel Usually they run on the
surface at night, charging their bat
tcIIos and leave behind them a plain
phoSphorcscent wake, as does a tor
ledo fired at night. 1t is at night only
mat they hay" an opportunity to rig
M their small Wieless devices to re-
criNc orders from home.
Submarine chasers are very valu-
able as they are fast and cspecially
unpopular with the undersea boats. A
three pound gun is effective if it
strikes the vessels shell, but where the
submarine is submerged a four inch
gun is desirable to break down the
armorcd coming tower. Submarines,
we know, are carrying four-inch guns
themselves and some are reported to
be carrying five and siX-inch guns.
1T is extremely difficult to know if
You have actually sunk a submarine,
as sometimes they merely sink to the
bottom. Presence of oil on the sur
lace is 4 good indication, though not
absolutely conclusive. 1t may be used
for deception. All the indications are
good that the American steamer Mon
golla bagged one, though it is pos
sible it got away. One of the great
difficulties we have had to deal with
! has been whales, who have absorbed
an enormous amount of projectilei
fired in the belief that they We're Ger
man I'-boats.

GERMANY'S FLAG.

The flag of Germany used in every
place except on a battleshiD is COM
posed of three broad stripes, red, white
and black, which run the full length
of the flag. No other mark distin-
guishes it. The flag used on a German
battleship is white with two black
stripes the length and width of the
flag. making large cross and three
small black. white and red stripes and
small cross in the upper left hand
corner.

London, April 26.--The British

Admiral de Chair sketched wildly
the long night vigils Of the patrol ves-
sells, the terrible winter storms which
sometimes send vessels to the bottom
without leaving a trace, the menace
of the floating mine, the hide and seek
game between submarines and their
prey and the ever present tension and
alarm.

O-Boats Won't Cross.

OF the prospect of submarines ap-
pearing in American waters, Admiral
de Chair said:
1T would not pay Germany to in .
augurate general submarine cam
paign off the American coast unless
she should also establish bases here.
Each submarine carries from eight to
ten torredoes, besides n limited fuel
supply, which would be wasted in the
long trip over and back, not to men,
ton the warm reception she would
probably receive.
Mother submarines to supply fuel
and torpedoes are known to be in OPP
GRAFTON, but little direct evidence has
been received that they are successful.
The great difficulty in locating the
submarines on patrol is largely re-
spOnSible. AS a result the Germans
prefer to stay out for two or three
weeks, then return to port.

Building Fast.

Nobody knows how many s,Ibma-
rines the Germans are building, but
we know they are working at feverish
speed and have heard reports that they
are turning out from two to three a
week. The time of construction is
about eight months with a similar
length Of time for torpedoes. and great
uncertainty exists as to how long Ger
many can continue to supply both ves-
sells and torpedoes.
THE crew of a submarine requires
from six weeks to two months train
ing, but the officers and other experts
require at least three months. There
have been many reports that the Ger
mans have been forced to weaken the
personnel of the high seas fleet to
maintain their supply of seamcn, but
of this we are uncertain 1t is, how
ever, absolutely true that some of the
captured crews are nearly crazy and
wholly sick of their job
The best defense against subma
rines~ wv" have found, is the armed
ship. During the early days they en-
tir"ly veered away from such vessels
and even only attacked them sub
merged, when it is necessary to waste
a torpedo which can often be lodged
and TO expose the submarine itself to
danger

The entrance of the American fleet
into the war hardly makes it more
probable that the allies will send their
big fleets in after the Germans, It is
not good strategy to risk war vessels

BROOKLYN BOY ENDS
HIS LIFE AT CORNELL
His Pro German Papers
Seized for Investigation.

ITHACA, y. y, Aug. S. - Gerald S.
Smith, registered as a junior in Cornell
University from 175 Washington Park
Brooklyn. committed suicide soon after
midnight this morning by jumping from
the window OF his room on the third
floor of his lodging house at 626 Stewart
avenue. this city
In a note hastily written to his
mother just before he took his life
Smith said that he did not care to live
to see Germany defeated by the United
states He also expressed despondency
over his work, but as far as can be
learned there was no reason for this.
Acting Sheriff Gallagher after an ex-
animation of Smiths effects seized a
large number of letters, papers and
other material, which will be the sub
Ject of investigation. 1t is understood
that among them are several papers
concerning pro-German propaganda and
also evidence said TO be in the form of
correspondenceehow that three years
ago Smith had dealings with Frank
Holt. the former Cornell instructor who
in June, 1915, tried to kill j. i. Morgan
and later committed suicide in a cell in
the Mineola Jail.
It is also understood that the acting
Sheriff has discovered documentary evil

u. S. TROOPS FOR
ITALY AND EAST
Lewis Tells Senate We May
Send Them SOon-Hints
Break With Austria.
Special Dcspatch to TuE srx.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s. - Senator J,
Ham Lewis predicted to-day that the
next American overseas expedition of
fighting men would have the eastern
front for its objective. Also he made
the statement that Americas duty to
Italy and Russia was coequal with the
obligatio to Great Britain and France
SO often does Senator Lewis address
the Senate with words which have been
transmitted or at least suggested to him
from high sources in the Executive De-
partment that this time the Senate stood
aghast. 1t regarded his statement as
tantamount to the admission that Amer
ica's policy OF armed neutrality toward
the other three members of the Central
Power alliance was shortly to end and
that war would be waged against Aus
tria-Hungary through active cooperation
with the Italian army at the Italian
front.
At the executive end Of Pennsylvania
avenue the speech OF Senator Lewis was
received with evident embarrassment.
Secretary OF War Baker said he was
not prepared TO discuss the develop
ments of Americas war plans to the ex-
tent Of admitting that any force would
go to any other point in Europe than
the Franco Belgian front. Secretary OF
State Lansing said that the Government
had no such plan in contemplation as
that which Senator Lewis's remarks
would presuppose.
Senator Lewis was addressing himself
to the question OF the Senate agreeing to
the food control bill as redrafted by the
conferees. His actual words were:
you are preparing TO care for world.
No longer is It only America and France
to which your food must go to sustain
American armies. Russia is before US
for all that its severe facts mean. Italy
in it's condition confronting the hordes
of Austria.
THE next leglons OF our men to go
forth would be to Russia TO support loyal
Russian arms now fighting under the
principles OF our making. To these shat
tered but struggling people we must go
with food and supplies and also with our
men.
ITO Italy must go our soldiers. our
supplies and our every support. The
whole cause of new Russia and awak-
ened Italy, aroused Greece and revivified
Britain and France is ours.
IAN now is the cause of America. Will
we fail them through error Of judgment
in this hour? We reply that no interests
at home shall defeat unity against foes
abroad. We will be one voice--it Is for
victory to the Allies fighting. for liberty
and justice-one voice and one people OF
America fighting for the democracy and
freedom Of the unconquerable United
States OF America
