BERNARD SEYMOUR INJURED.

Edward P. Seymour, who was called
to Vergennes Monday on account of
an accident to his son, Bernard, at the
Industrial school states that his son was
injured more severely than at first re-
ported. Upon his arrival there he found
that the boy had been hit on the left
side of the jaw, twisting it to one side
and the left shoulder badly bruised. The
boy was knocked down and suffered
compound fracture of the right leg
between the ankle and the knee. The
accident was caused by the falling of a
heavy tripod which was used in hosting.
The superintendent, Mr.. Barss, was
present at the time and seeing that the
machine was about to fall gave the
word to stand clear, but young Seymour
either did not hear or misunderstood
the signal and was caught beneath the
heavy timbers of which the tripod was
constructed. Those who saw the ac-
cident state that it is a miracle how he
escaped instant death. The boy is
still at the school under the care of

towards the officials. He stated that in
many instances where men had come
to the institution unable to read or
write they were now sending letters

of efforts put forth by the officials to
improve the condition of the morals of
the men. Following Mr.. Manner,
Webster E, Miller sang a bass solo. The

Why do l have to add air to my

The ordinary round or cylindrical
inner tube is very thin. To fill the
pear-shaped cavity of the outer casing
the round thin tube must be inflated

result. Not only less seepage, but less

,pondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondents Of the Associated Press.
BASE OF THE AMERICAN FLOTnLA
IN BRITISH WATERS. October TO-
Diaries taken from captured U-boat COM
manders furnish documentary evidence
that the destroyer Is the most effective
Of present weapons against the subma-
rine. Avoided destroyer Is the oft-re-
peated entry. In fact. these logs show
conclusively that the submarines are hav-
Ing a hard time Of It.
The result Of the destroyer activity dur
ing the last four weeks has been not only
a decrease in casualties Of merchant
ships, but also a still more satisfactory
increase in the number Of submarines
sunk.
The conveying Of merchantmen has
now reached a stage Of considerable per-
fection after many months work IN tram
Ing both the officers Of merchant ships
and the personnel OF the patrol hotilia
While systematic conveying was UNDER
taken primarily as a defensive measure
at the same time the best offensive meas
ure yet devised against the U-boat.
Torpedo's Wake a Clue.
The offensive side of conveying may
best be shown by an Illustration. When
a submarine tries to torpedo a conveyed
ship-as submarines are now compelled
to do owing to the infrequency OF un-
conveyed shipping-there Is always de-
stroyer on the scene and the chances of
her getting that particular submarine
are correspondingly increased The wake
of a torpedo is generally seen by the de-
stroyer's lookouts and it gives good line
on the direction where the submarine is
lying.
The destroyer Immediately steers a
course full speed in the line shown by
the torpedo's wake and drops repeated
depth charges along this course.
In a considerable proportion of cases
this proves effective, for these depth
charges cause serious commotion over
a considerable radius.
Cases Of Such Destruction.
The Associated Press correspondent
was told Of three cases during the last
fortnight in which submarines were
Thus destroyed. In many instances. no
doubt, submarines are destroyed with
ont any visible indication above water
of their loss. Still others are badly
crippled, as in the case of the dam
aged German U-boat which was re-
Gently interned in Spain.
Another submarine which will never
return to German. was sunk under pc
culiar circumstances a short time ago.
This U-boat torpedoed ship bound
