New York. Oct. 17.--Wheat re-
auired to meet winter needs of mills

Mr.. Bell warned mills that. because
Of short crop Of hard wheat they
may not expect to receive quantities
as large as heretofore and that nee
essariiy the quality Of their estab-

Happened Later

Minot, N. D., Oct. 17.--(Special) -
Engineer David McCIuslxy was killed
Instantly in the power plant OF the
Northern States Power company,
early this morning when the fiywheel
on the engine burst.
Pieces few in all directions. The
wheel weighed about seven tons and
when II broke pieces weighing 300
or 400 pounds went through the
walls and roof OF the building. One
piece weighing $50 pounds went over
a lumber yard and the roofs of sew
eraI buildings and fell on the street
one block away. 1t bounced on the
pavement and went through the
windows OF a corner store. Another
piece fell on the 500 tracks and broke
the rails.
Luckily the accident happened
early. before people were on the
street. Had it happened during the
day or evening many might hare
been killed.
AErs McClusky was 2a years ctd
and had been here three years, COM
ing from Granville, Ill. He was not
married and was drafted.
He was alone in the power house
when the wheel broke and was found
with his head badly crushed. It is
likely q piece of the wheel struck
him, killing him instantly. The dam
age to the building, engine and 9TH
er buildings has not been estimated.
Coroner ]. r. Pence decided an in
quest was unnecessary.

Base Of American F1otilla in Brit
ish Waters, Sept. 3O.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press.)--In
FIVE months Of active service the
American destroyers have steamed
collectively S75,000 miles. This is
more by several times than the dis
tance cruised in two years OF peace.
What makes the figures more i'm
pressive is that they have been
reached without the loss through an
accident of war of single life or a
very serious mishap to any OF the
units.
Roughly the destroyers nave spent
five- -eighths of their time at sea and
their average time in port has been
three days after each turn of i've or
six outside.
Clear weather and long days have
favored them and aided the men In
learning the technique of their busi-
ness of combating submarines, con-
voying troop ships and merchant
men. patrolling shipping routes and
.rescuing survivors from torpedoed
ships.
The Americans. therefore, can
claim no small part of the credit
for the gradual decrease in shipping

certain to make life less comfortable
for the u boats. Next the Americans
applied all the tactics OF the long ex-
perienced British and in some in
stances Improved on them. Then the
crews learned some more about the
business Of smoke screening a mer-
chant fleet while they beat off the
attacking submarine. Their Runnery,
too. has greatly improved. One crew
saw a spar OF a sunken ship the
other dav which they az first thought
was a periscope and shattered IL at
1000 yards.

In Fine Months of Patrol Work
American DeStroyerS Haze Not
Lost A Man Through Warfare

GERS, working on designs for new de-
stroyers. have introduced many new
ideas gained from observations made
in this anti-submarine game. Still
others have suggested changes in
gun firing. In fact, something new
although not always practicable, Is
being worked out all the time.
In the period Of active service over
here each destroyer has taken many
turns at patrol duty. This means
FIVE or six days away from port in
varying kinds Of weather, when the
routine is ''eat, sleep. stand watch
and get seasiclS." Occasionally this
routine IL broken by the call to gen.
eral quarters, usually caused by the
presence Of a U-bOat or crew OF q
torpedoed ship.
Every destroyer has to its credit
at least one encounter with SUBJ
marine, while some Of the more for
tunate have stalked two or three un-
derwater craft. At no time, however
have the submarines shown fight
They always avoid a meeting.
Depth Charges Feared.
The depth charges are feared most
by the U-boat commanders. These
weapons. as announced recently by
the American navy department, are
high explosives timed 70 e1ploue nY
water pressure az the desired depth.
Naval officers make no secret OF the
effectiveness Of this new found an
tidote for the submarines.
The wide cruising radius Of the
American boats also has helped to
produce unmistakable signs OF q
weakening in the morale Of the U
boat crews. They have made the u
boats spend more time under water
than formerly. There IS not so much
destruction OF ships by gun fire and
bombs as formerly. The augmented
destroyer patrol has made the SUBJ
marines use un more torpedoes with
the result that they have TO return
70 their base more frequently for rec
loading.
