washington. April 1o.--In the face
Of bitter winter gales. American sub
marines. primarily designed for
operations of the home coasts have
crossed the Atlantic to engage in the
common fight against German u
boats. They are now aiding allied
naval forces as are American
destroyers and American naval air
men and they have been in the war
zone for some months. Secretary
Daniels revealed the fact that the
submarines had gone over there in
his address at Cleveland last Satur-
day at a Liberty Loan celebration,
but gave no details. 1t Is now possi-
bic, however, to tell for the first time
Of the mid-winter passage Of the
boats across the seas in the face Of
the most severe weather known in
years.
The first submarines to leave got
under way in early winter. Arrange
ments for the trip were made with
out a hint appearing in the papers
and in fact. until Secretary Daniels
spoke, no word OF the participation of
the underwater boats In the war
against Germany had been publish
ed.
The navy had some experience with
long distance work with submarines
on which to draw. Boats have been
sent to the Philippines. to Hawaii and
to Panama. but always in mild sea-
sons OF the year. and with plenty Of
time for precautionary steps.
This time, however. they were to
go in winter and q terrible winter at
that, with the Atlantic in its ugliest
mood. The steps taken to get them
across cannot be disclosed; but the
fact that the department has no
disaster to record Is pointed to as
proof OF their sufficiency.
Officers and men Of the submarines
faced hard days as they put out

schafer. N. d., April 1O--Word
received here states that the
Continental Oil company's gasoline
tank at F'airview, Mont, was drained
OF its contents, some $4,000 gallons,
BY unknown persons.
A hole was drilled in the bottom OF
the large tank and in order that the
contents would flow freely, the lock
was Knocked from the intake pipe
and the cover removed.

Crossed Atlantic To Aid In

laconic report OF uneventfuI voyages

Hit BY Severe Gale.
In mid December others got start
ed. While it was fair on sailing day,
ahead OF the submarines a 100-mile
gale was brewing. Into ii they plow-
ed, rolling and tumbling. Details of
the commanders reports have not
been made public, but among the
crews undoubtedly were men who re-
called the first employment of the
submarines at maneuvers when sea-
sickness all but put the hotiIla out OF
commission.
But there was no faltering. The
boats were going to the front in real
warfare this time. Even when tow
lines parted in some cases, unknown
TO the tugs and accompanying craft,
the submarines battled forward alone.
A majority Of them reached their
destination under their own power,
ready for duty.
Some of the boats were driven far
from their course. They showed up
at different ports but promptly put to
sea again and reached their station.
One boat was the hard luck vessel
Of the lot. Separated from the dotilla
in the first storm and its compasses
out Of order. 1t turned homeward,
only to strike two more gales in quick
succession. However, Ii made port
successfully and unchanged.
With new fuel and supplies aboard
and with a man or two sick. in few
days the boat put to sea again. 1t
went through that time, despite the
fourth gale 1t encountered.
Little has been said Of the work
of the British and French submarines
in, the U-boat hunt. They are play
ing definite part, however, and Turk
ing in close to the enemy bases. There
have been encounters between sub
marines, reports Of which read like
fiction. The service has been
described as a trying one for which
men Of courage and daring are need
ed. 1t is in that work, presumably
that the American submarines are

WHAT is HAPPENING IN
CAMP AND FIELD.

|
A letter to Mr.. and Mrs. H. r.
Little from their son. Francis, Co.
E, 140th Infantry. and formerly of
the Reflector, says: am writing
by candle light in my room in the
house where we are billeted / have
a very nice room and altho not large
there is plenty of space for every
thing ! have. The bed is the best
thing about the place Has two
feather beds on top of the mattress,
besides usual coverings and in adj
dition a red silk cover stuffed with
feathers. Has the old fashioned cur
tains hanging from the ceilings and
is so high ! almost need a ladder to
get into It, / sure get some real
sleep on il after having slept on
cot for so long.
We are billeted now where we ex-
pect to stay until ready for the last
and biggest move-will have train
ing period before then. The men
are in barns, attics and any place
that is dry and all have comfortable
places. Have been here 4 days and
am getting on famously. This is a
town of about 1000 or 5000, they
say, but it covers about as much
ground as Detroit The barns are
built onto the houses and the people
live in one end and the livestock in
the other. Every yard has a duck
pond where the mosquitoes are thick
but little things like that don't
bother these Frenchmen. They are
old fashioned as you could image,
and flashlight is a mystery. l think
this is the prettiest country l ever
saw. There are beautiful woods all
around with roads and paths wind
ng in all directions. Trees are
mostly variety of elm, with few
oak and other kinds. Elms are very
nigh, some at least 100 feet, with
straight trunks, many branches and
much LEAKAGE, which is much greener
han ours in u. S. Lots of insects and
,irds, especially crows, but many
much prettier birds also. We can
lear the cuckoo every evening.
there are lots of quails in this /
ountry, too.

week and l am going to attend !
