PROGRESS OF THE WAR

GIOu1 Culubf . al Inv
Within a month after the declara-
ton of a State of var the United
States was taking a definite part in
the conflict. Gradually u partici-
patton is being enlarged.
The first real participation began
in the very week a state of hostilities
was proclaimed, for u warships be-
gan to take the places of British and
French warships patrolling the waters
of the western Atlantic. A little
later one of our armed ships fought
with a German submarine, which, it
is believed, was sunk.
Now our warships r sharing in
the campaign against the submarines
inthe barred zones" which Germany
established around the British Isles
and along the coast of France. A
squadron of American ~destroyers
arrived at Queenstown. Ireland, on
May 4, and within a day or two was
actively engaged against the enemy.
Already one of the destroyers has
battled with a submarine, but the re-
suit is not announced. More de-
stroyers will be sent across the ocean,
to be followed soon by some of the
armed private yachts and motor
boats and by the submarine chasers'
which are being turned out from our
navy yards.
The CONSUMPTION bill has become a
law and the President has set June 5
as the day for the registration of all
males between the ages of Fl and 80,
both inclusive. He has announced
that a division of the regular army,
under General Pershing, will be sent
to France as quickly as possible and
ne has refused to allow Colonel Roose-
Welt to raise a volunteer army for
service in France. A regiment of
naval marines, under Colonel Doyan.
will accompany the Pershing division
abroad.
Not only the United States navy.
but the Japanese navy has sent war
ships to European waters to hunt
down the submarines. A few days
ago Japanese gunboats arrived at
Marseilles, France. to join in patrol
work in the Mediterranean. German
and Austrian submersibles continue
to work havoc in the Mediterranean
despite heavy losses.
The Italians. aided by the English
and French, have been operating
very effectively against submarines
attempting to get out of or re-enter
the Adriatic sea. While the plan OF
operations has been concealed one
a make a fairly good guess as to
what has been done. A Gordon OF
ships. nets and mines has been drawn
across the straits of Otranto. through
which the submarines must make
their way into the Mediterranean if
they expect to do much damage to
merchant shipping. In one week
thirteen su~bmersibles were destroyed
The Austrian reply to these opera
tions has just been announced.
A few days ago the Austrians sent
cruisers to raid the Gordon and they
met with excellent success. They
sank one Italian and one French de-
stroyer, two or three steamers and
fourteen d~rifters. or armed guard
boats. 1t is probable that some time
during the raid submarines slipped
through the Gordon into the Mediter'
ranean.

NlCIS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
BY LInbr. FTrzHu0H oRuEN u 8 Il.
Storm OH.

SANDER IN the penalty. OF fame. Few
mortals have ever approached the ex-
allied position Of the Devil. And mono
has retained it so consistently. Whence
1t follows that he has received credit
for far more than his share in the
worlds wickedpess. Il say this ad-
visedly.)
In the history of the development
OF mans achievements it is interest
Ing to note that, even up to the pres
emit, set-backs of various kinds. sorts
and distinctions have been laid to the
ill-teznper OF His Satanic Majesty. The
sea has been no exception.
When the old galleys began to
leave the peaceful inland waters Of
sounds and we'll protected channel.
wives were the first to remark upon
the frequency with which the deem
sea mariner failed to return. Here
may be said to have started the popu-
larity Of the sailor az a sweetheart.
The Devil was blamed-or. in the
case of the wives, praised.
In the course Of centuries grew the
tradition that the King of Fire was
wont to tolerate certain ships When
the tumult Of hurricane and tempest
swept a wreck-strewn pathway
through the seas always were there
fortunate few who escaped Men
noted that invariably this lucky hand
full were those carrying cargoes OF
fish or the. flesh of foreign animals
Naturally came the. explanation:
The Devil was hungry, He brought
the gale. Ship after ship he tore to
shreds, looking for juicy morsel
When huge seas whipped meat and
oil from certain craft he was ap-
peased. In return for the gratifica-
ton Of his gnawing hunger he freed
these craft from which he'd fed.
Whence came the custom OF feed
ing the Devil when the winds blew
UP.
Which was all very well in a way,
went plenty of fat with the meat. But
dered with this strange delusion that
a beef sandwich in the Devils craw
was worth all the seamanship in, the
world when q typhoon's hell broke
loose.
And only now have we the truth
from our men of science. It was oil
did the trick. A million tons OF meat
would not have satisfied the Devil
had there not been enough blubber
hanging to it.
When oil of any sort IL poured on
the surface of water it spreads In q
layer SO thin that it cannot be meas
ured by any known instrument. Yet
its thickness can be computed from
optical effects and by using several
ouires of paper. a cord OF lead PEN
ellis, and q seven-horse power brain.
1t is several Thousand times thinner
