DESTROY
U-BOATS AT RATE
OF ONE PER DAY

New York, April 13.-The British
have been destroying U-boats at, the
average rate of one a day since Feb
ruary 1, and latterly at an even high
er rate. according to information
brought to New York yesterday by
persons returning from Europe, who
said they had the authority Of navar
officers and officials high in the ad-
miralty for the figures. In the month
following the declaration of unre-
stricted submarine warfare British
ships sank thirty-two submarines.
Since then, 1t Is said, the average
number destroyed a week has been
between seven and fifteen, with the
number running as high as twenty
three In the week.
British naval officers assert their
methods in fighting the submarine are
being improved constantly. The small
motor boat, known as the 'subma-
rine chaser following in the wake
Of destroyers dragging cables or
chains between them, has sunk most
Of the U-boats with a new explosive
bomb, effective within q circumfer-
ence Of 200 yards. Airplanes are used
also, while the practice Of equipping
merchant ships with guns forward,
as we'll as aft, has caused the d~estruc-
ton Of several U-boats.
British officers say the Germans
profess to be turning out a subma-
rine a day, but they do not see how
submarines, manned by competent
crews, can be sent to at this rate.

and cheaper farm work to do. He

DO You RENT ROOMS?

ltis not good policy to limit your advertising to simply a win
dow card for boarders or roomers; the great body of people in this
city are to be reached only through an ad in The Grand Forks
Daily Herald. A window card only limits your field SO much that
you might as we'll be living in a city of half the size of this one.
There are many things which contribute to making it vexa-
tlous and improbable to rent rooms or to keep boarders. You
probably know what most of them are. You have probably had
your share of slow paying people-people with a genius for get
ting behind" Also your share of habitual kckers-the people who
have grouches. Then you have probably experienced the doubtful
satisfaction of having a vacant room week after week, and a few
less people at the table than you should have had. But it may not
have occurred to you that the remedy for these things is PUBL
CITY, want ad campaign so regulated that there should always
be a demand for your rooms, and for places at your tables. It is
needless to say that you need not use any other medium than The
Herald. And it is also needless to add that an advertising CAM
pagn is absolutely impossible unless you use The Herald.
If you are in the business for proft-either for a livelihood or
for pocket money-then The Herald is ready to cooperate with
you. Phone 500 either line and ask for the Want Ad department..
leave instructions and the Want Ad man will call.

BANK DEPOSITS in
RUSSIA SHOW GREAT
INCREASE SINCE WAR

Petrograd. April 1s.-Bank de-
posits in Russia have greatly in
creased since the beginning of the
war. January /. 1919. they aggregat-
ed 3,21S,000,00 rubles; January 1,
1916. 4,342,000,00 rubles. The in
crease during 1915 was especially
notable. the total amounting to more
than 1000, 900 rubles.
The increase is ascribed to the fact
that the business world Is waiting for
moro favorable conditions to enter
upon new enterprises. It is antici-
pated that there. will be an enormous
outflow Of money from the banks into
such enterprises as SOC as the war
ends.
