devised TO conceal the wake of the
torpedo.
The second is that British and
American methods have so greatly
reduced Germany's supply of U-boats
that she has been compelled to trust
more to the use of floating mines in
her efforts TO destroy allied ship
ping. 1t Is believed that submarine
mine-layers OF the type similar to
the one on exhibition in Central Park,
New York, have been laying these
far more diligently than was the
case in the days OF the greatest
supremacy of the submersibIes.
The third is that with both the
Antilles and the Finland the failure
to sight either torpedo or the craft
from which 1t was fired was due
only to chance.
The greatest weight is attached to
the second supposition. however. In
many cases il is extremely difficult to
distinguish between hit by a floating
mine, which can be sucked against
any part of the liner and exploded.
ana a direct shot by a torpedo fired
from submarine. In the latest an
houncement Of destruction of British
tonnage the announcement reads
losses by mines and submarines"
disclosing an inability to determine in
each instance which weapon was re-
sponsible.
The losses Of transports have been
extremely slight in proportion to the
tonnage IN service. owing to the i'm
proved methods of convoy. 1t is
thought that the Germans, because of
their failure to obtain the results de-
sired in this field have resorted to
strewing the transport lanes as thick
ly as possible with floating mines. The
element OF chance plays a much
larger part in their use than il does
IN the submarine, but there is the
added feature that the risk involved
Tor the Germans in their use is far
less than in the case OF submarines.
They have the added advantage OF
being more difficult for the transports
to see in the event of lying in their
path.
Dispatches say that Germany has
been having an increasingly difficult
time forcing her men into subma rine
service. since sailors maintain that
they are virtually being sentenced to
death. This was one of the causes of
the reported mutiny In the navy.

more Of the tiny coins into circula-
ton.
Gum machines, penny scales and at
present telephone apparatus demand
that at least one or two pennies be
used. The moving picture devotee or
the tobacco user must needs soon have
one or two pennies among the coins
in his pocket.
In short. the demand for pennies
from all sides has become so great
since the placing Of the war taxes on
every thinkable commodity. and the
gradual rise of necessities of life also
demanding pennies, that the govern
ment is making plans for the manu-
facture of many million.
Normally about this time of the year
the need for pennies becomes pro-
nounced. Never before, according to
officials. has it taken such gigantic
proportions.

In addition Individual raiders at
tackled the Kentish coast between
midnight and $50 o'clock. Reports
indicate that each group consisted OF
three or four machines, the total
number of raiders engaged being
about thirty. OF this total only about
three machines succeeded in actually
penetrating into the heart of London
The raiders were harassed by our
gunfire during the whole of their
flight, and were also attacked by our
aircraft. The facility with which
they were able to escape observation
by taking ADVANTAGE of the clouds
prevented any decisive engagement.

A feature of last mig nte air raid
was the appearance afterward OF
some 800 or 400 Boy Scouts as buglers
sounding the "all clear" signal
through the streets when the official
notice was sent out.
After experimenting with motor
horns and whistles, neither of which
proved satisfactory, the authorities
decided that the French system of
sounding buglcs was the most effec-
tive. The widely heard question of
where tc get enough buglers arose,
and it was answered by Boy Scouts
volunteering in numbers. They as
sembled at the various police centers
when the warning of the raid was is
