FIRST FIND THE SUB.
Progress Made in Problem of Lo-
eating U-Boats Destruction
Comparatively Simple Matter.

Important progress has been made
in the problem of locating submarines,
after which their destruction is COM
partively simple matter, Secretary
Daniels said Tuesday in a statement
discussing the 10000 separate sug-
gestions, plans or models of devices
submitted to the naval consulting
board since the United States entered
the war against Germany.
The idea that the submarine will
be overcome by a miraculous inven-
ton is not now seriously considered"
the secretary said. "The more init
mate knowledge the civilian obtains
on this subject the more convinced he
is that the submarine can be conquer
ed by persistently hunting him down
by the weapon of which he is most
afraid. This is the armed service
boat, equipped with all the latest
scientific devices and typified in the
modern torpedo boat destroyer. For
eign naval authorities have frankly
stated their admiration Of the degree
of perfection Of American designs
"In regard to the protection OF
ships against torpedo attacks, the I'M
| deniable evidence of recent months
of submarine activity has demonstrat
ed that the immunity Of a vessel de
ponds very largely on its speed anc
maneuvering ability There is a pos
sibility that some artificial means O.
! protecting cargo-carrying vessels may
| be found practicable. In no othe7
| field have so many suggestions or 81
many duplicate inventions been pre-
sented to the board"

SAIL RIGHT.

Now that Wade Hampton has
turned the alchemy of his keen in
cisive reasoning upon the subject and
transmitted the dross of the observa-
tions of others into shining golden
nuggets, we can all feel better sat-
isfied about it and curl up and go to
sleep. The old town is safe. Hurrah!
That is, no matter what sort Of naugh-
ty thing comes in from the outside,
we are damned anyway if we risk one
eye on it, so we must blame ourselves
and not the evil that would not have
harmed US if we had been brought
up right and couldn't find anywhere
about US any little inclination to take
a stroll down the path we should not
go when opportunity offers. But
Wade Hampton is right about it:
When folks try to do US good and do
us good we should not go and criti-
else them because somebody slips in
and does something naughty when
they are not looking. So. Now on
the next political campaign, when
Wade Hampton goes out into the
sticks and rears up on his behimb
legs and tells the boys about lot
of evils they never would discover
they were suffering but for Wade
Hampton, we are going to pull this
letter on him and convict him out OF
his own mouth, and say, "Why look
here, you ungrateful wretch, how dare
you enjoy the blessings Of Demo
cratic administration and then crit.
else few little things that do not
exactly meet your approval" But
maybe Wade Hampton means by this
letter that he never more will go out
and tell the things that nobody else
has discovered about the party thai
has given him so many Blessings. Sc
lah.

ceipt of the new regulations which
are greatly reduced in extent and SIM
plified in process.
Included in the new book is every
thing bearing on the draft processes
as now organized from the time the
QUESTIONABLE to be sent to each reg
istrant is filled out and returned to
the board. Each book carries copy
of the statutes and also verified
COPY of the master list of the draw
ing. The questionable process will
eliminate from consideration for mil
itary service probably 95 per cent of
the men who would have been dis
charged or exempted under the old
plan. Under the first call the aver
age board was compelled to examine
five men to obtain one for service. In
some cases not more than one out OF
ten or twelve were sent to the camps.
1t is expected that under the new
scheme not more than one man in
five called up will be rejected.
The American Bar association and
the American Medical association are
at work now organizing the lawyers
and doctors to aid registrants in their
vicinity in filling out their question.

tons it hoped high percentage Of
the questionnaires will come back II
such form that the boards will have
little more than rubber stamp pro
ceeding left to select the men to fl
