U-BOAT HUNTING

The account from London describing the de struction of eight submarines at various times and under various circumstances shows that four of the eight U-boats grief by gun fire. Two armed merchantmen auxiliary naval vessel and naval vessel accounted for them. Two depth bombs dropped from small craft and from seaplane accounted for three more and torpedo fired by submarine ended the career of the remaining U-boat It Is said in the dispatch that these eight prac tcally the whole ground of recent antisubmarine tivity
 It would appear. then, that destroying U-boats by ramming, which tried frequently in the early part of the war, has not often succeeded, and that tangling the submarine in is also unimportant a means of putting them out of commission, though nets must be of great importance in the defense of harbOrs and of lanes the channel

Colonel Roosevelt takes fling every now and then at Mir Bryan He will not forgive that gentleman for his antebeum attitude. Isn't it about time for all the genuine patriots who now working for the of the nation in to call truce to recrimnations based what has gone before and to look only at what is being done now?
 The great question today is not What were you doing before the war?' but What you doing now?" And there very few people who can give a better to this last question at this minute than William J. Bryan. There isn't any foolish pa cifism in what he is saying. There isn't direct or indirect effort to keep the Nation from doing its best. On the contrary, everything he is saying and doing today is periodically and clearly calcu- lated to forward the great of America against it's enemies
 After this is anybody who desires should feel at complete liberty to take in the past, even the recent past and stir up all the old embers of discord that he likes. Today the only question is Are you with absolutely in this war?' And where the is "Yes" there is nothing to- be said except God Bless You, Brother"
