IMITATION

is the sincerest form of flattery, that is why it pleases us to hear that other laundries claim to do work just like ours. It is a tribute to the excellence of our laudering which we fully ap- preciate. But why not have the origi- nal? Send us your washables and you won't have to say they are as perfect as ours. The work will be ours and the real thing.

DEPTH CHARGES ARE FEARED BY
 GERMAN SUBS

WASHINGTON, Nov 13. - The depth charges used by American and British destroyers are feared most by the U-boat commanders. These are high explosives timed to explode by water pressure at the desired depth. The wide cruising radius of the Amer jean boats has also weakened the mo- rale of the U-boat crews. They have made the submarines spend more time under water than they used to do. There is not so much destruction of ships by gunfre and bombs as form erly. The augmented destroyer pa trol has made the submarine use uE more torpedoes, with the result that they have to return to their base ire Quently for reloading. Every Ameu- can destroyer has to it's credit at least one encounter with a submarine One gun crew saw the spar of a sun ken ship the other day, which they at first thought was a peuscope, and shattered it at 200 yards.

said." Benson remarked today. 'T don't
know whether Russell Is a Socialist or
not, but II he is, sincerely hope and be-
lieve that he is the only Socialist in this
country that believes a revolution is the
only medium for preventing war For

of such radical actions. think that 1
am safe in saying that the Socialist party
