Submarine improvements.

Since April 1 German submarines
have been equipped with four new dc.
vices which increase their destructive.
ness, and render it more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts
Formerly the U-boats, to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface, or
anchor themselves to the bottom; hut
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only c0nserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes giva
further assistance to the submarine III
concealing it's position. A mixture OF
oxygen and strained gas is now used
in the engines, and the exhaust Ia
washed free of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave u
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable 1t to hear and Judge the size Of
ships at considerable distance.-Ex.

cyelist Messengers satisfactory.

cyeltst Messengers Satisfactory.
One of the difficulties that has been
experienced by infantry following up
q retreat, has been the quick trans.
mission Of reports and the mainten-
ance of touch with their flanking col
umn, writes war correspondent. In
cyclist trimming no little time is de-
voted to perfecting the system Of COM
munication, and experience has proved
that cyclist messengers are both a
speedier and more reliable means of
communication than either telephones,
which have to be laid, or visual sig
mailing.
Prior to 1914, there were many who
asserted that cyclists were too vulner.
able to be Of use. 1t has been proved
already that they were wrong, even
though the character Of the war in
the West has not been peculiarly ia
vorable to cyclist operations, and that
cycllst battalions are and will con.
tinue to be one of the most important
and valuable arms Of the service.

KELLOGG'S REPLY TO
LA FOLLETTE'S SPEECH

Following conclusion of La Follette's
speech. Senator Frank B. Kellogg, who
introduced the resolution of the Min.
nesota Public Safety commission de-
handing La Follette's expulsion, took
the floor.
Kellogg discussed La Follette's
speech at St. Paul on Sept. 20. 1t is
because of statements attributed to
La Toilette in this speech that the
Public Safety commission demanded
La Follette's expulsion.
Kellogg Takes Exception
Kellogg took emphatic exception to
some of La Follette's statements" II

GROWING Of COCKS
Rosters Midnight Alarm May
Be Haunt of SoIdier7
Historical Events Are Quoted to Show
Effects Of Call at Regular
Hours.

Is the Growing Of the cock the
haunt of soldiers?
Philosophers might ask themselves
this question, fools might hesitate long
enough with a ray Of intelligence to
remark, 1T does look funny" The
cock sounds his first shrill CLARION, call
ut twelve o'clock, midnight.
His neighboring cock from an emil
nent perch in an apple tree hears it
and answers "auwk-er-uk-er-oo-o."
Then he sleeps again and an hour
later sounds the second watch Of the
night. He sleeps some more. He
sounds the call from the barracks and
his neighbors join in to make the
dawning welkin ring.
Through this Eastern section, where
eastern and central time changes and
the country is thickly settled, there is
an hour difference in the time of the
midnight Growing Of the cock within
few miles ride Of the traveller.
Since the war began in Europe and
the nations engaged in that conflict
set the clocks back an hour for mill
tary reasons, it is said that the cock
has adjusted his midnight growing to
suit the hour by the clock.
Beginning two weeks before Christ
mas the cock crows first at ten o'clock
at night and then at the regular hours
as before until after Christmas eve.
When the Roman empire claimed its
outposts as the Outposts Of civilization
and its armies Us legions, the watches
Of the night were sounded by the bu-
gle of the sentinel from his tower sta
toned wherever the mighty country
had laid claim to domain. 1t was then
that the growing of the cock seems to
have become connected with the SOL
dier's call of the watches Of the night.
''The cock shall not thrice crow this
night before you shall deny me-" It
Is mentioned in the Bible to denote
the watches Of the night.
The Christmas festivities in the
early days Of Christianity lasted sew
eral days, beginning prior to Christ
mas day and the revelries Of the night,
in which wines flowed freely, doubt
less led to q curfew call which de-
scended to the cock as the other watch
calls Of the soldiers bugle.
In the present world war when the
haunt Of the soldier is again world
wide, it is not unlikely that it might
exert an influence on the life Of the
domestic animal. The horse, 1t is
claimed by scientists, can scent the
battle from afar and his nature even
feels the approach of war.
Even again the time Of the uni
versal growing of the cock might be
changed by the effect of the military
change of the people Of the day.

BY prearrangement, two hours were
reserved in which senators were to re-.

Course Defended.
Defending his course OF opposing
the declaration of war and subsequent
attacks on war policies, La Toilette
declared:
1T is the citizens duty to obey the

unconstitutional. But he has the in

an obnoxious law.

way to paralyze the German arm is
