New Britain herald., 1917-01-03

Captain John L. Duffy of New York, stockily built, square jawed. weather tanned, arrived in New York from France. Until November 2S the cap- tain was in command of the Ameri- can steamship CherHung. On that day a torpedo from an Austrian sub- marine sank his ship in the Mediter- raneaen off the coast of Spain. But Duffy would not lower the American flag at the order of the submarines commander.
 The captain was not at all dismayed by his experience, and he said that he would take out another vessel just as soon as he could get one. He has made several trips to Archangel dur ing the war, and submarines do not scare him 8 bit.
 ''The Chemung went down with her flag flying said the captain. We were out from New York with gen. eral cargo and off the Spanish cbast in the Mediterranean when the sub marine came along. A shot across our bows was the signal for us to stop and we did"
 In response to a signal from the submarine Third Officer Jacobson rowed to her, carrying with him the
  for arresting the skipper, but appar- ently he was satisfied with the de- struction of the steamer.
 There was no argument over the lowering of the flag. The submarine commander signaled for the flag to be lowered, but the skipper paid no at tention. He and his crew of thirty four got into small boats. and the flag was snapping from the staff as they pulled away from the side of the doomed liner.
 ''We were hardly out of range when the submarine opened fire on the Chemung,". said the skipper. "She attempted to sink the ship by shell fire, but as this had apparently no effect and the vessel continued to ride high out of water, the commander sent a torpedo into her. She sank within two minutes"
 When the Chemung went down the submarine circled about and picked up the two small boats. Lines were passed by the submarine, and for two hours she lowed the boats toward the shore. Then the Spanish steamship Salvatore Giner came in sight and the men on the submarine cut the towline. and a few seconds later dived beneath the sea.

Washington. Jan. 3.-Representa- tive Woods resolution for a special investigation of charges of a ''lcak" on President Wilson's peace note was held privately by the house today ands 1t was referred to the rules commit- tee with instructions to report within ten days.
 Senator Stone after comforting with Secretary Lansing today made a statement in the senate explaining that he had tended In no way to re- fleet on the secretary when, yester- day, he charged that important ofi-t cial state documents had been known to find their way into unauthorized hands. NY

 "I am sure also that no secretary or state nor any other high official of the department has at any time been con- scious of those acts to which re-i ferred."

Delegates to the congress of scien- lists, assembled in New York at the convention of the American Associa- ton for the Advancement of Science, saw the voices of Caruso. Tetrazzini and Amato dance before their eyes on the walls of a darkened room. The phonodeik, a recently invented ma- chine, consists of representative dia- mond of a gauzelike material, through which the sound waves pass. causing vibration. A series of highly polished mirrors reflect the vibrations to a re- volving triangular mirror disk, which in turn reflects them upon the screen. The sound wave reflec tions appear upon the screen mag nified 10000 times the size of the vi- brations upon the diaphragm.
 Caruso's voice, pictured at the top in the accompanying picture, as seen through the phonodeik. varies from a clearly outlined curved line to a shadowy blur as his voice rises from a low. natural note to a high burst of volume.
 Photo shows the phonodiek and back of 1t chart denoting differences between voices. Top record is Caru- so's. Next to 1t Is Signora Tetrazzini's, and below Is Amato's. Portraits, left to right, Amato, Tetrazzini. Caruso.

:. :. ALCOHOL sPoILs AIM.

Munich. Germany, Jan. 3.-TestSA recently conducted by the Bavaria1s. ministry of war upon the effect oxg alcohol on markmanship were carrieda out by twenty marksmen on twentyl test days, the total number of shots3 fired being over 30,000. The resultaa showed, according to Prof Dr. Kraep-A lin whose report on the subject is ress' printed in the Military Weekly, ana average falling off in marksmanship] of rbout three per cent. as the result1 of the consumption of forty grams of1 alcohol. corresponding roughly to thS1 amount contained in liter of beer.S The effect was most perceptible twen4
 tyfive to thirty minutes after absorbsA ing the alcohol. Most of the marks}
 men shot even worse than th&
 average, several of them eight, tens and twelve per cent. worse. One OH the amusing sidelights on the t4sts3 was that several of the riflemen inya sisted not only that they could, buA
 actually were shooting better afte1
 getting the spirits while in reality
 their markmanship had fallen or a3a much as ten per cent.

FIRST BOUT WITH WINTER
Having Initial Experience With
 Chilly Climate of Northern Latitudes

With South African Contingent of South African troops. men from the mines and farms of the gold country, are now serving their first winter in the field in France and are distin- gushing themselves with many deeds of daring and valor. Some of them fought against Britain in the Boer war, and among them there are several Americans who had made their homes in the African mining fields. One of the most thrilling exploits of the South Africans was the recent act of young subaltern. During a night operation he became separated from his company and found himself in- side the German lines. After time he picked up six more men of his company who had become similarly detached. When dawn came the little group found itself practically sur rounded by Germans. The young subaltern found that his rifle and those of his comrades had become so clogged with mud that they wouldn't work, but he drew his revolver and as the. first German approached he shot him dead. A German sergeant who started forward was also killed and as daylight came two of the subal- terms got their rifles working and succeeded in killing twelve members Africans got inside of the circle and deliberately marched their prisoners over the German lines and all got home safely amid great jubilation among their comrades.

MEDICAL MEN DISAPPEARING,

London, Jan. 3-That private prac- titioners in the medical profession will be practically non-existent before the end of the war and all patients will have to go to infirmaries to be treated was the opinion expressed at the annual meeting of the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary. The Lancet says: There must come day, if the war Is indefinitely prolonged. when the nec- essary economy of medical men can only be obtained by mobilization of the whole of the available supply. so that calls can. be made upon .individ- ual services when and where required It has long been felt that some such step might be taken and we believe that the general opinion of the medi- cal profession, Judging by the corres- pondence that comes to us, is in . similar direction"

TOBACCO BLoCKADED.
American Importers Unable to Get
 Crop From Cavalla.

CTOp From C0V0lla.
 Volo, Thessaly. Jan. 3.-The occu- patton of Cavalla by the Bulgarians and the consequent turning of the richest tobacco land in the world into field of battle has been the making of the growers of the to5accos of in- ferior grade in Thessaly and the Pel- oponnesus an Associated Press corre- spondent finds. American tobacco firms have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tobacco stored in Serres and Cavalla. But the whole coast of Eastern Macedonia is under the blockade of the French fleet, and there is no way to get the tobacco out. As 0 result the previously de- spised product of old Greece has mounted in price beyond the widest dreams of the Thessalians.
 Volo Is the port of Thessaly and the tobacco buyers from Egypt, England, Holland and the United States have flocked here to purchase the years crops.b The market Is so upset that old differences of few cents no long CT obtain. It is impossible to predict the prices to be paid--all depends on how short certain cigarette manufact-
 
 have always purchased in Greece for their blends. Argos leaf that used to sell at 4.3 cents a pound now com mands price of AHA cents. The to- bacco from Karditsa used to bring only 7.14 cents per pound; now it sells as high as 70 cents. Policastro was formerly quoted at 25 cents; 1t now brings 60 cents. Almiras that Q year ago was worth 2S.6 now brings 53.6.
 Even in Greece, where the consum- CTS are not very particular about their tobacco, the prices of all cigarettes have been raised, packet of 2S ci- garettes which previously sold at IA In proportion.
 The operations in tobacco, partic- uiarly by American firms whose tel egrams and letters to their agents in Greece are delayed by censors of one sort and another, are often more in the nature of gambling on account of these delays. An American firm re- gently cabled it's agent at Volo, in re- ply to an inquiry about the purchase of certain tobacco stock: Buy it if 1t can be secured at six and one-Quar- ter cents.' The message arrived: Buy it," quite simply. The agent bought at the then price, twelve cents, causing his firm loss in the tens of thousands of dollars. due to the cen- soring of the message. Tobacco agents here state that incidents of this nature are frequent.

 Tn the past the university hal been used too exclusively for purelyS professional careers without takinds account of the vast growing activittN&a of humanity. The future of th&a world lies along material lines. and these universities must do their shareI in industrializing science.
 One immediate necessity is that of suppressing examinations, which have always had tendency to destroy. to- dull. the ends of higher study, to- teach that intelligence without idAan of duty, of personal perseverance anfS energy, is useless.
