Uncle Sans Destroyer Fleet Is Keep
ing Kaiser's Subs Under Water and
Is Reducing Their Opportunities for
Destruction.-Many New Devices.

Base of American Flotilla in British
Water, Sept. 2G.-tCorrespondence of
Associated Pressp-In the five months
active service they have seen in the
great war, the American destroyers
i have steamed collectively a total dis.
tance of $4,000 miles. This Is more
. by several times than the distance
, cruised in two years Of peace. And
what makes the figures all the more
| impressive is that they have been
reached without the loss through an
accident of war of a single life or a
very serious mishap TO any Of the
units.
Roughly, the destroyers have spent
five-eighths of their time at sea and
their average time in port has been
three days after each turn of five 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-
veying troop ships and merchantmen,
patrolling the shipping routes and res
cuing survivors from torpedoed ships.
tuC
The Americans, therefore. can claim
no small part of the credit for the gen
eral decrease in shipping losses First
of all, the addition of their units to the
allied forces, patrolling as they do an
area as large as that bounded roughly
by the great V formed by New York,
Detroit and Knoxville, was certain TO
make life less comfortable for the L.
boats.
Next. the Americans applied all the
tactics of the long experienced British
and. i'm some instances improved on
them. All the destroyers added to their
equipment depth charges and other de-
vices. Then the crews learned some of
the methods of smoke screening mer.
chant fleet while they beat off the at
tacking submarine with gunfire and
depth charges Their gunnery, too. has
greatly improved. One crew saw a
spar of sunken ship the other day
which they at first thought was peri
scope and shattered it at a distance OF
more than a mile.
New Methods Adopted.
New ideas also have been and are

marine increasingly difficult. Filled

Technical Education q Patriotic
Duty

1. We believe that all young men
below the age eof liability to the
~selective draft, and those not rec
commended for special service, who
can avail themselves of the oppor-
tunities offered by our Colleges,
should be urged so to do in order
that they may be able to render
the most effective service, both
during the full period Of the war
and in the trying times which will
follow its close.
2. We believe that in view Of the
supreme Importance of applied
science in the present war, stu
dents pursuing technical courses,
such as medicine, agriculture and
engineering, are rendering. or are
to render, through the continuance
Of their training, services more
valuable and efficient than If they
were to enroll in military and
naval service at once.

Never before in the history of
the United States has there been
such need for technical men. The
places Of danger in modern wars
are not always the places of great

ply Is absolutely essential. Engi-
neers are needed at home to carry
on the work of transportation and
utilization, as we'll as to handle
the engineering problems Of the
army.
At a conference of College Pres

May 5th, the following resolutions
were adopted as a statement Of
principles. These resolutions are

To Honor Washington's Memory.

Laredo. Tex, Jan. 22-For twenty
years the citizens OF Laredo have com
memorated the birthday of George
Washington by holding a grand, allie.
gorical pageant replet with cars and
automobiles in decorations. This year
will prove no exception, an executive
committee having been recently ap.
pointed to plan the event.
Until the revolutions began in Mex
leo, about six years ago, many avail.
ed themselves of the cheap railroad
fares and came from the interior of
Mexico for the dual purpose of wit
Messing the pageant and shopping.
Formerly bull fights were staged in
Nuevo Laredo, just across the river,
for tho entertainment of the Ameri
can visitors and there is a possibility
that they will be staged this year,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
sport is prohibited in many of the
Mexican states.

Repeal of Warehouse Law.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 2-Considerable
Interest is being manifested through
out the state on the outcome of the
bill introduced in the legislature on
the repeal of the warehouse and mar
keting law.
This bill provides for its complete
abrogation While there are quite a
number who favor it, there are also
others who believe it good and that it
should remain on the statute books.
There is also pending a measure
providing that the warehouse commits.
sion be abolished and that the ad
ministration of this law be vested in
the commissioner of agriculture.
So great appears to be the interest
taken in these bills that the house
committee on agriculture, before
which the bill is pending, has set
January "A for a public hearing on
the proposition.

CARBON MoNoXlDE DANGEROUS
Small Garages are Dangerous in the
Winter Months.

Winter Months,
Washington, Jan 20.-The Bureau
of Mines, Department of the Interior,
today called attention to the increas-
ing number of persons who are being
asphyxiated through breathing the ex-
haust gases from automobile engines
in garages, and suggested that the
danger is greatly in the winter time
when the weather is too cold to keep
the doors and windows open
A series of tests were conducted in
a garage, in which one of the chemists
was considerably affected by the pois-
Onous gases. The tests led to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
An automobile engine should not be
operated in a small garage unless
doors and windows are wide open
In the tests conducted, the air in
the garage was rendered decidedly
dangerous after the automobile engine
had been running fifteen minutes.
"The gas made by the automobile
engines in inclosed garages is known
as carbon monoxide," said Director
Van H. Manning of the bureau at

1.-THE Bohemian Girl"

While light wasted operas and mu
sical comedies have thrived for a sea-
son or two, each has been laid on
the shelf. iBalfes substantial and
solidly melodious masterpiece, "The
Bohemian Girl" has captivated gen.
Grafton after generation. The Aborn
Opera company were first in this coun-
try to present it on an adequate scale,
and their presentation will be seen al
the Palace theatre Tuesday night.
The beauties of the ballads for
which this opera is justly famous
should be, and were for years, suf.
ficient to keep 1t in high favor with
all music lovers, but Milton and Sa,
gent Aborn thought that new charm
could be added to it if, without slight.
ing the umsic in the least, advantage
could be taken of the splendid oppor
tunity offered by Balfe's work for
spectacular treatment
To those who remember Balfe's
opera as it was formerly presented
it seemed strange that Mr.. Temple
should utilize a band of genuine gyp
sizes, the Tzigani Troupe of Arab aero
bats, dogs, monkeys, geese, pigs,

they were surprised to learn that
these and other innovations fitted
into the action of the opera plaus

spectacular scenic production, 1t
seemed like a new opera. Another
addition that has been appreciated is
the corps de ballet, which performs
the famous Dance of the Hours" from
LA Gioconda." This organization is
of unusual size, including a metropoli-
tan cast of principals, large chorus,
ballet and special performers. The
