John Koehn Writes
From Camp IAN Greene

Dear Mother.-I heard from Lizzie a
few days ago but haven't heard from
you. l received that box of cookies
you SENT and was glad to get it. We
have eight hours of drill and dress pa
rade nearly every other day and in
spection every Saturday, so you see
they keep us busy most of the time.
Charlotte is nice town the people
are very nice. They have funny way
of talking, they say, Where are you
all from and Where are you all
soln." There is quite difference in
the boys from the west and the boys
that are here. They haven't such
healthy color, their faces are as white
as most Of the girls in Valley City.
Tony has pretty bad cold but l
guess he will be all right in a few
days. Did Tony tell you he was pro.
NOTED to corporal and that was made
a first class private. 1t is raining
today so we don't have to drill. How
is the weather in North Dakota? l
suppose it is getting pretty cold by
this time: Did you hear that we were
IN New York. Most of the 41st d.
vision is there, but we are still here
at Camp Greene, but expect to leave
most any time. The recruits of the
regular army are coming in every day.
and are going to take our place. Tony
and l each took out two Liberty bonds.
Well mother l guess I'll have to stop
as have told you all the news know
Your loving son.

School Cannot. Supply
Teachers Called For

The State Normal school has receiv-
ed upwards of hundred calls for
teachers this fall that it has been un-
able to fill. Every member of the
class Of 1917, who wished it, secured
a teaching position before the schools
opened in September and October. In
addition the entire alumni member
ship has been circulated. Hardly a
half-dozen members were available for
teaching positions and these, of
course, quickly took schools.
The call for teachers is unprecedent-
ed, due principally on account of the
war, which has taken heavy toll
from the ranks of the teaching profess
sion. Many young women are taking
the places of men as principals OF
schools and special instructors. With
the scarcity of teachers, opportunities
IN the teaching profession, of course,
nave never been better. There are
still in the state many counties in
which school officers have been unable
to secure teachers thus far.
Young people of good character and
personality everywhere are urged to
equip themselves for the teaching pro-
1esslon, for no matter what may hap
pen in the next few years the schools
must be kept filled, if we are to profit
from the experience of France Eng
land, and others Of our allies. The
call for trained people during, and par
ucularly after the war, will be ire
mendous.

New York, Nov. 16,-Prediction
that enemy submarines will soon ap~
pear off American ports, that the sub
marine will be found to be the best
antidote for the submarine, and that
the great world powers soon will have
flotillas of "contra-submarines," espe-
cially built cooperating against un~
der sea craft, were made here today
by speakers who addressed the an
nual convention of the society of ma
val architects and marine engineers
Simon Lake, the inventor, pointed
to the fact that but one British vessel
OF more than 1000 tons was reported
sunk by German submarines last
week as an indication of possible dan
ger to American shores from the sub
marine menace. He cited the trans
atlantic trips of the merchant subm1~
marine Deutschland and the activities
or the u-53 off the north Atlantic sea-
board as examples Of what is possible
with the submarine.
Commander E. S. Land of the Unit
ca states navy took issue with Mr..
Lake when the latter said he did not
belleve the submarine could be effec-
lively used against the submarine. -
"A submarine can fight submarine
as well as battleship can fight bat
tleship," said the commander Though
ne said foreign tendencies in subma-
rlne construction were toward dis
placements Of 2,00O 5000 and even
5000 tons. Commander Land declared
his belief that the craft Of the 500
ton type are now being most general
ly built because of their adaptability
for all-year use.
M. F. Hay predicted that revo1u-
tionary but practicable changes in bat
terry, coming tower and motor con-
struction will make possible the Gre
alton Of a contra-submarine to COM
bat the submarine menace.
Estimates that Germany had in
commission over 700 submarines last
May and that she would have in SER
vice total of I 200 undersea craft by
the end of the year, were discredfted
by Mr.. Hay.
1T does not seem possible that Ger
many had more than 200 submarines
in commission last May he said. TN
formation at hand would indicate that
the actual recent output has been ap-
10 submarines a month"
