ORDNANCE NEEDS MEN
Many Posts Open to Americans
in That Service.
Chief officer Announces That oppor-
tunities for. Technical Men With
Unit In France Are Good.

Paris.-The ordnance department OF
the United States army In France
wishes TO correct an erroneous impress
sion preyailing-that, by reason of be-
Ing particularly desirable branch of
the service, 1t already has enlisted its
full quota. On the contrary, there are
openings in every class, from private
to the highest ranking noncommis-
stoned officer.
Enlistments are required to fill the
positions Of clerks. stenographers, typ
lists and general Office help, both at
headquarters and the various depots
throughout France. Many armorers
and carpenters are also needed, and
a prompt warrant for a grade COM
mensurate with ability displayed is
assured.
An especially attractive opportunity
is presented to technical men and
graduates Of mechanical schools. The
ordnance department offers to such
men chance to specialize along the
lines Of their individual training. Pro-
motions to the grade Of commissioned
officer are made on the merits Of the
work done, and many enlisted men
have won this reward solely upon the
grounds of the ability and training
they possessed.
Enlistments will be accomplished In
the usual manner and under the mill
tary rules and regulations observed by
the recruiting offices in the United
States.
Men who are eligible and DESTROYS OF
enllsting should make application at
once, writing direct to the chief ord
nance officer, American expeditionary
forces, France, who will make all ar
rangements and notify the applicants
accordingly.

Los Angeles,-It is not an uncom-
mon sight to encounter a house upon
rollers in the middle of a street and in
the process Of being transported to
new location some distance away, but
it is seldom that house is taken to
pieces, the parts transported more
than 1900 miles. and once more put to-
gether again. This Is exactly what has
happened, however. with the residence
of ]. p. Storer of this city. The Storer
family recently decided to make its
home hereafter In Edmonton, Canada,
and for some reason, not generally
known to the public, they took their
house with them. A corps of worhmen
was engaged, the house taken down
piece by piece, each carefully marked
and done up in neat bundles and load
ed upon steamship for transportation
to Vancouver. and thence by rail to
Edmonton. 1t will not be long, there
fore, until an American frame house.
built Of American lumber from floor
to shingles, appears in Canadian
city as the residence Of the Storer

Washington.-Th is how the train

More than 1000 registered Red

NEGROES WIN HONORS
SomaIis Get 264 Citations for
Braveryin Battle.
Proud Tribesmen Prove Efficient
Fighters, But Never Resort
to savaaery.

French Point.-Two hundred and
sixty-four personal citations for bray-
cry have been won by the negro sol
diers of a single Somalis battalion
since it landed in France in June, 1916.
OF these citations 100 were gained In
the fierce battles of the Aisne and the
remainder about Verdun.
The Somalis, many of whom were
recruited in British Somallland, are
independent and find the discipline Of
an organized army severe. Their
French officers. however, are accus-
toned to deal with these freedom low
ing tribesmen, and by appealing to
their pride of race and their self-re-
spect obtain their devoted obedience
to such an extent that they rapidly
become excellent soldiers. These men
learn to handle modern infantry weap-
ons quickly and furnish many special.
lists in the grenade throwing, rifle and
machine gun sections of French regi-
ments, for the men are of high intelli-
gence and are full Of natural initiative
valuable adjuncts in these branches
of fighting while at hand grenade
throwing they are second to none.
Meticulously clean of habit, the So
malls, who are strict Mahometans,
never touch alcohol. In fact, they look
on any man given to intoxication with
the greatest disdain. They are self
sacrificing to degree, as was evil
denced during their attack on La Boz
velle, when they had to clear out the
shelters in a trench which they had
Just captured, and which were still
full of Germans who had taken refuge
there. One of their European SER
geants was about TO enter a dugout
known to be full of armed enemies,
when he was pushed aside by So
malls private with the exclamation,
LET me go first You are married"
A widely prevalent fallacy has
charged the negroes with savagery
against their captives. Their officers
say this charge has been disproved
time and again after fights at Verdun,
in Champagne and north of the Aisne.

SUBMARINES NOW
HAVE HARD time
Activity Of Destroyer Conveys Is
Producing Most Satisfac-
tory Results.
S MOST EFFECTIVE WEAPON
Diaries Taken From Captured U-Boat
Commanders Furnish Documentary
Evidence Of Effectiveness Of De.
stroyer's Perfect Convoy Work.

Base Of the American Flotilla In
British Waters.-Diaries taken from
captured U-boat commanders furnish
documentary evidence that the de-
stroyer is the most effective of present
weapons against the submarine.
Avoided destroyer" is the oft-repeated
entry. In fact, these logs show con-
clusively that the submarines are hav-
ing a hard time Of 1t.
The result OF the destroyer activity
during the last four weeks has been
not only decrease In casualties of
merchant ships but also still more
satisfactory increase In the number OF
submarines sunk.
Conveying as an Offensive.
The conveying Of merchantmen has
now reached stage almost of perfec-
ton, after many months work In train
ing both the officers of merchant ships
and the personnel Of the patrol flotll-
las. While systematic conveying was
undertaken primarily as defensive
measure, Il has now developed that
conveying is at the same time the best
offensive measure yet. devised against
the U-boat.
The offensive side OF conveying may
best be shown by an Illustration:
When submarine tries to torpedo a
conveyed ship--as submarines are now
compelled to do owing to the infre-
quency Of unconvoyed shlpplng-there
is always destroyer on the scene, and
the chances OF the destroyer's "get-
ting that particular submarine are
correspondingly Increased. The wake
of a torpedo is generally seen by the
destroyer's lookouts, and 1t gives a
good line on the direction where the
submarine is lying. The destroyer i'm
medlately steers a course full speed
In the line shown by the wake Of the
torpedo and drops repeated depth
charges along this course.
In considerable proportion Of cases
this proves effective, for these depth
charges cause serious commotion over
considerable radius.
Surface Signs May Be Messing.
The correspondent was told of three
cases in the last fortnight in which
submarines were thus destroyed. In
many Instances, no doubt, submarines
are destroyed without any visible indl-
cation above the water OF their loss.
Still others are badly crippled, as In
the case OF the damaged German U
boat which was recently interned in
Spain.
Another submarine which will never
return to Germany was sunk under PEE
culiar circumstances a short time ago
This U-boat torpedoed ship bound
from the United States. 1t is extreme
ly unwise and unsafe TO fire torpedo
at such close range, but the U-bonts
must take their targets as they get
them these days. The 'torpedoed ship
was loaded with a cargo of heavy war
material and the explosion was so for
chile that 1t blew lnrge piece of
heavy material through the deck Of the
ship and dropped it on the submarine
as the latter was submerglng. The hull
OF the submarine was crushed like an
eggshell and she sank with all on
board.

work crippled. The crowded condi-

men. and real estate men and builders
have done their best to relieve the
situation. However, the onward sweep.
of workmen has defied all efforts to-
ward proper housing
The use Of beds in eight-hour shifts
has been resorted to In such cities as
Youngstown. o.; Erie, Pa; Bridgeport,
Conn; Chester, Pa; Newport News,
Va, and many others. All of these
cities were crowded even before the
United States entered the war. In
Erie 45 munition workers procured
room and board In one fve-room house,
with cots In every room and in the
cellar and attic. Conditions in all Of
these cities are becoming worse each
day. One shipbullder procured 200
badly-needed workers and lost them
the next day because he could find no
place for them to sleep.

BARON Won STEUBEM
FRENcHMAN, IS CLAIM

indianapolis. Ind.-That Ba-
ron won" Steuben of revolu-
tionary war fame was properly
named Baron "der Steuben and
was a Frenchman and not
Prussian, is the claim Of A. B.
Gardiner, secretary general of
the Society of Cincinnati, in a
statement made public here.
Baron "de" Steuben was of
German birth, but renounced
Prussia and owed allegiance to
France when he came to Amer
lea to help the revolutionary
cause, according TO Gardiner.
He asserts that Steuben ex-
patriated himself after making
a glorious record in the seven
years war, but says the full
reason for his expatriating him
self probably will never be
known.
