U-Boat, Here to Boost Loan,
Tries to Submerge in Street
Park Encounters Misunderstanding Water Mains Un-
dermne Pavement and Truck Falls Through

In all its piratical career the UC-5,
late submarine raider Of the German
navy, probably never set forth on a
stranger voyage than that which it
started yesterday. Travelling stern
first and overland, it followed south
easterly course across Manhattan ISL
and, from l32d Street and the North
River, finally to come to rest in the
Sheep Meadow in Central Park.
Its only mishap on the trip was due
to water. The water came from the
Catskills a hundred miles away and
had set a trap for the land-going sea
monster by bursting water mains with
its pressure and, consequently, weaken
ing the pavements over which the stern
section of the UC-5 was trundled.
The U-boat, British captive sent to
this country to stimulate the Liberty
Loan campaign, is in three sections.
Only the stern section was moved yes
terday. Those in charge of the project
intend to complete the moving job to-
day and have the UC-5 assembled in
the Sheep Meadow on Wednesday, when
it is to be christened the U-Buy-a-Bond.
Trip Takes Eight Hours
Nearly eight hours, and most of the
contractors horses ard men, were re-
quired for the overland voyage of the
first section, which weighs fifty-five
tons. At s o'clock in the morning, a
Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Company
crane began, with the utmost care and
elaboration, to hoist the rust-streaked
steel cone from a barge to a fifteen
ton truck.
1t was along toward noon before the
U-boat section was in place on the
truck and ready to proceed. A com
pany of the 9th Coast Defence Com
mand and a company of the Naval
Militia with a band swung into column
TO act as escort. When volunteers were
called for to ride on the hulk two
companies stepped forward in unison
and the band faltered in the midst of
a tune. Joseph Bonds and Joseph
Wolcott, Naval Miiitiamen, were Sc
lected for the post of honor.
The procession was about TO move
when it was discovered that there was
no flag to fly from the U-boat. In the
crowd was the manager of a branch of
Smith e. Kaufmann's ribbon factory,
at SAG West 1921 Street. Without a
word he took TO his heels. In a mo-
ment he had returned, breathless but
triumphant, with the flag which had
been flying above his establishment.
1t was affixed to the rudder of the
U-boat.
Requires Thirty eight Horses
Henry Herberman, engineer and
pilot, snapped his whip in nautical
style. and thirty-six horses churned
the pavement CO .isnhsttan Street to
foam as the U-poat reluctantly got un-
der wa. Down Manhattan Street to
l25th Street ana eastward to Seventh
Avenue was the first leg OF the course.
At Eighth Avenue the U-boat en-
countered the Harlem business mems
Liberty Loan parade. which had set out
to meet it. The paraders, consisting
OF Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Junior Po-
lice, public school children and bust
ness men, accompanied by the subway
band. the naval band from the L. S. S.
Recruit, another land-going warship,
and many others, lined up on the north

HINT OF WAR GAS IN "ILIAD"
Homer Says That Fierce Mars Spread "a vapor Over the Battle,
 Aiding the Trojans.

Why, I wonder, is the word '.Io- merle" such favorite with writers at the front and with the subeditors who trick out their narratives? In the Ho- merle days men fought with swords and spears and bows and arrows. with the assistance of an occasional thun- debolt from love. What basis of comparison is there between these toys and the weapons of today?
 Yet there is one curious parallel which has not, l think, been pointed out. In the fifth book of the ''Iliad" we are told that fierce Mars spread a vapor over the battle, aiding the Tro- jans. If not exactly poison gas, this may be said to be at least an antici- patton of the modern smoke screen London Observer.

The ex-convict who recently testi- fled that he, mere unsophisticated rounder of thirty or more, was lured into stealing from his employers by woman to whom he gave part of the money. reminds me of boy who was brought into prison in New York one afternoon in July, 1860. AS the turn key led him along the youth saw in cell man with smooth, shrewd, somewhat hard face. The boy stopped and addressed the man in the cell.

The work, as planned, will be carried on through the county superintendents wherever possible. They will be asked to form county illiteracy commissions of about 10 persons each. according to informa- ton given out by J. l.. Bond. state su- perintendent of public instruction.
 Mir Bond suggests the selection of officials of women's clubs and the Farmers Union, ministers, editors and other men and women of public spirit and social interests. He also suggests that five teachers for each county be enlisted in the work at the county institutes, and in counties hav- ing considerable number of negroes, the addition of five negro teachers.
 The followir general plan for es tablishing schools for adults has been outlined by MT. Bond:
 First-Make survey of your school district, noting the names, ages. and extent of illiterates. Ascer- tain how many will attend school to learn to read and write, Enlist all over 10 years of age.
 Second-Arrange for 10 days school at afternoon or night, as best suits the condition of the communi- ty Moonlight nights in August sug- gested. Afternoons after school hours is good time, perhaps older pupils would be willing to remain and help.
 Third-Use materials that will be placed in the hands of the county commission by the state commission writing tablets, etc.
 Fourth-Even adults who can read and write might like to attend and help, or study some subject on which they are interested, or if you have library they can read, it will be more comfortable, socially, for the others.

One Foot Walks Faster Than Other.


 You may think it Is silly to ask which foot walks faster, but It isn't. If you will take a pavement that is clear and walk brlskly in the center, you will find, before you have gone 90 yards. that you have veered to one side. You must not make an effort to keep In the center, but if you will think of something. and endeavor to walk naturally. you will not be able to keep in a direct line. If you lose yourself on an expanse of black moor land and walk on, you will describe complete circle. The explanation lies in the propensity of one foot to walk faster than the other, or take a longer stride than the other, causing you to walk to one side. To make as- surance doubly sure, try placing two sticks about eight feet apart. then stand off about sixty feet, blindfold yourself, and endeavor to walk be- tween them.
