BLAIR WILL RECOVER

Ezra Blair, an employe of the indie.

injured last Monday afternoon, when
he fell beneath an ice wagon, on North
Twelfth street. Blair's injuries were
such that it was thought at first that
It would be necessary to amputate his
right leg but attending physicians de-
clared today that 1t could be saved
The accident occurred when Blair at
tempted to repair some of the harness
on the mules drawing the wagon. He
stepped out on the tongue OF the
wagon and as he did so the mules
started forward, throwing him beneath
the wheels. Two wheels ran over his
right leg, breaking both bones In the
lower part and bruising the flesh Of
the hip.

The correspondent was told of three

submarines were thus destroyed. In
many instances, no doubt, submarines
are destroyed without any visible lndl.

Still others are badly crippled, as In

was loaded with a cargo of heavy war
material and the explosion was so for.
chile that it blew n large piece of
heavy material through the deck of the
ship and dropped it on the submarine
as the latter was submerging. The hull
of the submarine was crushed like an
eggshell and she sank with all ON
board.

REHEARSE FOR BIG BATTLES
REALISM Carried to the Extreme by
Germans in Preparing for Trial Of
New Strategy-Says Human
Strength Is PoWerless.

With the French Armies.-It Is now
pretty well known that both the
French and Germans frequently re-
hearse their battles, under conditions
as realistic as possible on specially
prepared maneuver grounds. But,
whereas the French on these occasions
tax great care that no men shall be
injured, the Germans have carried
realism to such a point that each exer-
else Of this kind costs them q number
OF wounded. The fact Is attested by
the following extract from the note
book Of a German of the 21Sth regi-
ment Of infantry:
The exercise vas to represent a
new method of attack used by the
French, and was to take place on the
21st, in the presence of the duke Of
Wuerttemberg, and other p~ersonages.
"On the 18th our artillery regulated
dts fire preparatory to the exercise.
Men Wounded In Drill.
ION the Dist we were put in place
at S:15 q. m. From $50 to 10 80 the
artillery and the trench mortars fired.
We were given each fifty explosive
cartridges, while the men of the first
and second waves were given each,
respectively, six and two loaded gren-
AIDES. From the start, during the FIR
ing of the trench mortars, men were
wounded by splinters. At 10 80 the
business began, and toward l 80 p. m.
our companies were assembled for the
goose step parade on the Hochwalsch-
Walderystal road. This parade also
took place before the duke of Wuert-
temberg. The exercise, 1t appears,
satisfied these gentlemen entirely. So
1t will not be long now before we en-
ter into the hell. U~nhappily, several
anen were wounded, n seriously. It
Is really sad to see exercise of this
kind carried out with real artillery
and trench mOrtars. Aside from the
fact that 1t costs q great deal of
money, men are wounded almost regu-
larry. So 1t is not enough that we
should risk our lives when we are at
the front, we must even be exposed
to danger when we are supposed to
be at rest"

Baron "de" Steuben was of

Prussia and owed allegiance to
France when he came to Amer

entry. In fact, these logs show con
clusiveay that the submarines are hav-
ing a hard time of 1t.
The result Of the destroyer activity
during the last four weeks has been
not only a decrease in casualties Of
merchant ships but also a still more
satisfactory increase in the number Of
submarines sunk.
Conveying as a. Offensive.
The ~.-,nvoylng of merchantmen has
10Y reached a stage almost of perfec-
ton, after many months work in train
ing both the officers of merchant ships
and the personnel of the patrol fotil-
las. While systematic conveying was
undertaken primarily as a defensive
measure. it has now developed that
conveying Is at the same time the best
offensive measure yet devised against
the U-boat.
The offensive side of conveying may
best be shown by an illustration
When q submarine tries to torpedo q
conveyed ship-as submarines are now
compelled to do owing to the infre-
quency of u%nconvoyed shipplng-there
is always a destroyer on the scene, and
the chances of the destroyer's get
ting" that particular submarine are
correspondingly increased. The wake
of a torpedo is generally seen by the
~destroyer's lookOuts, and 1t gives a
good line on the direction where the
submarine is lying. The destroyer i'm
mediately steers a course full speed
in the line shown by the wake of the
torpedo and drops repeated depth
charges along this course.
In a considerable proportion of cases
this proves effective, for these depth
