GIANT SP0TTER TO
WARN OF U-B0ATS
Submarines Can Be Detected
When Leaving Their Bases

Washington, August 1.-The navy
department has prepared a compre-
hensive plan for protecting American
shipping from submarines. The de-
partment is working on a giant de-
tector which is expected greatly to as
sist in solving the menace.
While the details of the detector
cannot be published, it is known that
the department expects it to be eff
fective over approximately five miles.
If it justifies this expectation it is the
intention to stretch the detectors
across the waters in the vicinity of
the German bases and thereby locate
U-boats as they start out
While these experiments are pend
ing the department intends to rely
upon armed guards and conveys TO
protect shipping. Officials are salts
fled that proper armament is the best
protection for shipping at present.
They call attention to the fact that
no American ship with fair rate of
speed and properly armed has been
sunk.
The department is satisfied that if
Great Britain would use the methods
of arming ships employed by this
government, the rate of destruction
of all except extremely slow craft
would be reduced greatly. Officials
here know that Great Britain satisfies
itself with placing one gun on ship.
manned by a scrub crew, while this
government carries numerous guns of
the most approved type manned oy
picked crews.

the Massa chusetts members had been
trading votes on the pneumatic tube

Leonard by First Assistant Postmaster

saying the department would like to
know who sent it. The writer never
was discovered.

made general denials of the "insinua-

He charges me with crimes against

Denying that letters were opened in

said he had refused to permit secret
service agents to peruse the mail of
interned German sailors
This testimony" said Mr.. Tague,
''clearly shows the post office officials
are contradicting each other. I am
thoroughly convinced that they have
done this thing. l know my mail has

WASHINGTON ENJOYS
REAL PROSPERITY

Washington, June 23.--War pros
perity has hit Washington and those
who have rooms to rent are getting
rich. The capitol's population Is
growing rapidly. Every train brings
It's load. War talk fills the air.
The government and the various
industries that have established war
headquarters here will need $4,000
more clerks before the dog days. ac-
cording to conservative estimates.
Already there is famine In stea-
ographers. Uncle Sam has comman-
deered them.
Now government Offices are spring
Ing up all over the city. Depart
ment Offices. which for generations
have been small quiet affairs have
suddenly become bloated to 20 times
their usual size. This means more
employees. The restaurants are
buster than Coney Island chowder
kitchens. The street cars are almos,
always jammed to the guards ant
frequently blockaded. Apartment,
houses have been made into hotels
residences into apartments. In some
cases startling prices are demanded
for cots, All rents are upward
bound.
The telephone service is swamped
the messenger service overwhelm.
cd. Streets are crowded and the
aged hackmen are investing in LII.
berty bonds. Now Uncle Sam is med.
itating communicating more office
space and ousting private firms. It's
a seething situation--4but--as the
French say:
"C'est Ia guerre."

THE CHEVROLET
ALWAYS A WINNER

AiteT puotlnR tne OmcidI truii
blazer for the San Francisco Ad club
motor caravan across the continent
and finishing third in the Chicago
2b0-mile automobile derby last Sat
urday, r. G. Durant, vice-president
and sales manager 0f the Pacific
coast Chevrolet factory returned to
the plant Wednesday morning.
Durant related a graphic story OF
the drive TO 81. Louis In the Cheyro-
let which was the only car to nego-
tiate the itinerary Of the Ad club
caravan on It's own power; the only
machine to travel from California to
81. Louis without shipping by rail.
Aside from the great hardships
undergone by the crew Of the car in
battling through rain and snow. hail
and mud. across seven states. there
were many numerous incidents on
the trip which Durant says served to
keep up the spirits OF his compan-
ions. A. D. Plughoff, G. A. Bucking-
ham and Fred Conner. as well as
himself.
At one place where they were
shovelIng through a deep snow drift,
a lone sheep herder came along on
horseback. Plughoff asked him how
the roads were and was told that
they certainly we're not any better
and might be durn sight worse fur
ther on MS he had been all night and
part OF the day making ten miles
and his horse was Just about tagged
out. Durant said that they would
have to give him credit for being
honest at least, for most OF them
that they met enroute insisted on
telling them that the roads were
better after a mile or two. 'l'll tell
you fellers." said the sheep herder,
~ you got the money and want to
get anywhere, you better take the
train. but II you aint got the money,
stick to your automobile. Durant
and Plughoff assured him that they
did not have any money and would
therefore have to stick to the ma
chine.
Another amusing incident took
place In Wyoming where they pick
ed up a hobo. who, in his more pros
porous days. had been bridge car
penter. whats the best hotel in
the next town" asked Durant. well.
lived at the Stagg for six months
once" replied the passenger. Have
they got a bath there?" asked Plugh-
on. "I don't know. you will have to
ask the clerk" was the reply.
According to Durant. there Is
nothing like strenuous tour such
as that made by the Chevrolet trail
blazer to get q man In condition FOR
a contest on the speedway. This
fact was evidenced by his showing at
the wheel of Barney Oldfield's Del
age when he won third at Chicago
Saturday. finishing less than min
ute behind the winner. One tire
change cost Durant the race. II he
had not been forced to stop at the
pits, he would have beaten Cooper
by almost the same margin that the
winner beat him. 81

they are not sending middle-age so fan

when needed.
The summons for service at the off
GERS training camp at Fort Sheridan
seemed to be for striplings only-of few
years and full Of pep.
The forty plus fellows Of rather full
girth and flecks of freshness over the
ears. may have felt cut up and choleric
about it, but they said nothing.
If anyone heard them singing "only
in the Way" or as There Any Room In
Heaven? ?" as the dapper youths stepped
forward with aplomb to qualify for their
country's service, it was only because
they have good voices and ike singing
Mars is not the first divinity to put
Youth ahead Of Experience, the Over
looked Ones ruminated. Cupid could
never see them, either But wait; the
mills of the gods grind slowly but eX-
ceedingly fine. There is a day after today.
That day is here. Fort Sheridan is on
the line. The training camp is long on
war stuff, but short on counsel. Is call
ing frantically for maturity. Youth Is
all right in its place, but the camp wants
ripe experience, seasoned ability and ex-
ecutive capacity. There must be some
one for tutelage, administration. leader

have shown themselves masters Of their
calling.
And the forty plus folk of rather full
girth and flecks of freshness over the
ears, are just taking their time about
responding to their country's revised
call
They'll go all right, only they want
Fort Sheridan to make sure that it does
not prefer the natty, trim-waisted, fair
haired fledglings it set out to get in the
first place.
