WASHINGTON. July 6.-Developments
increasing the efficiRcy Of German sub
marines since April l. IT was learned on
high authority to-day. have made the u
boat menace still more bafiing to the
Allies.
The four known developments since
April 1 are:
Four small pumps. regulated by cleo
trical Gevicek so the hydrostat will indi-
cate the depth OF submersion. by which
the submarine is enabled to remain mo-
tionless under the water Formerly the
submarine was obliged to come to the
surface like a whale 1t planed up, as
sumed a level position on the surface.
and to submerge 1t planed down for the
dive, the operation requiring two and
half minutes. 1t was obliged also to
continue in motion always unless an
chored to the bottom, being In this re-
spect like an airplane which has to keep
going or fall to the earth. The sub
marine, before the new device was in
stalled, would either sink or rise to the
surface II II stopped.

water Is pumped in; IL the tendency is
I to sink, water is pumped out. Thus the
submarine is now enabled to visit any
/ spot In the ocean. submerge TO the de-
stree depth and lie perfectly still.

! remain still the boats consume less fuel
| and are enabled 20 stay at their posts
| for considerably longer time than
| formerly.
! German submarines are using tele-
scopfc periscopes. The U-boat fioats

same manner may be withdrawn In

| its position without leaving wake.
! Heretofore the periscope went slashing
| through the water leaving great white
! wake.
No Gas Wake Left.
Now the German submarines are using
the Diesel engine, 1t being supplied with
oxygen and mixture OF strained gas,
which takes the place OF air. The ex-
haust is broken up by a series OF wide
spread, fine meshed nets, so that the gas
is washed free Of smoke, and on coming
to the surface 1t Is in inhniteslmal
bubbles which do not make any wake.
Remarkable improvements have been
made in the German submarines tele-
phones and listening devices. enabling
them TO hear and locate at n consider
able distance the direction and the type
of vessels from the frequency of their
propeller returns. This listening radius
Is usually about five miles.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES FOR
SOLDIERS IN FRANCE.

The Post Office Department re-
quests that you kindly give the wild
est publicity through the medium Of
your paper to the necessity of the
early mailing of packages intended
to reach our troops in France by
Christmas and to the fact that such
packages must not exceed pounds
in weight.
The Department advises me that
unless packages intended as Christ
mas presents for the troops in France
are deposited in the post office on or
before November 18th, it will not
be possible for them to reach desti-
nation by Christmas Day.
The Department further advises
that on account of the Postal Regu-
lations in France packages weighing
more than seven ca pounds cannot
be forwarded by mail.
IL you will give these facts wide
publicity it will doubtless be appre-
ciated by your many patrons.

In the death of Mrs Merry perhaps
is removed Nashville's real Baptist
landmark, as, Notwithstanding the
controversy as to the seniority of the
Spruce Street Baptist Church and
the other church known in former
years as the Dick Ham Church, no one
seemed to doubt but that her husband,
the late N. G. Merry, was the pioneer
church builder in Nashville among
the Negroes. Mrs. Merry kept her
membership in the Spruce Street
Baptist Church, having been trans.
ferred to that church by letter from
the First white Baptist Church at the
organization Of the present church by
her husband, who was ordained as a
gospel minister on November 30. 1853
The ordination services took place
at the home of Rev. S. Baker, who
was at that time paste ing the white
Baptist church. The Nashville Ameri.
can under date of Dec. /, 1858, in
speaking of the ordination of the late
N. G. Merry said: "An ecclesiastical
council was convened at the house
OF Elder S. Baker on Wednesday, Nov.
goth, at 3 p H., Tor the eXanlina ion
of Brother Nelson Merry with refer
ence to ordaining him to the work Of
the gospel ministry. Brother S. Ba.
ker was chosen moderator and Broth.
er ]. R. Manton clerk The council
was opened with prayer. Brother
Merry, who is colored brother, a
Z member of the Firsst Baptist
Church in Nashville, then related his
religious experience, his conviction OF
duty with regard to the ministry, his
views on, Bible doctrine. The council
being satisfied with the narration OF
the candidate and the evidence of his
call to the ministry, voted to proceed
to his ordination at the First Baptist
Church, Nov. Goth, at 7 p. M, and
also voted that the order of public
services be as follows: viz: Sermon
by Elder S. Baker; ordination prayer
by j. R. Graves; Charge To Cand
date by ]. R. Manton; Presentation
z of Bible and Righthand of Fellow
ship" by ]. M. d. Gates.
In accordance with the abVe vote
public services of ordination were per
( formed at the First Baptist Church
and Brother Merry solemnly set apar
to the work of the ministry. An ap
propriate sermon from Tim. 2:15
was delivered by Brother S. Baker
Study to show thyself approved unto
\ God, a workman that needeth not be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word o.
truth" The divine sanction blessings
were besought by Brother Graves, anC
the righthand of fellowship by Broth

solemn and impressive character, ant
we trust received the divine approva
and benediction of Brother Merry.
