marines in the Mediterranean cannot

ces of U-bOats entering territorial wa
ters at night and exchanging signals
with people on shore. Until recently
enemy citizens were allowed to re-
side in seaport towns and even de-
serted villages on the coast, so that all
they needed to communicate with sub
marines was a light. Even now Aus
trlans and Germans are interned In
Sardinia, and more ships have been
sunk by submarines off this Island
than anywhere else In the Mediter-
ranean.
The mail boat between Sardinia and
Civitavecchia was torpedoed in broad
daylight only 20 miles off the coast
of Sardinia. Although she remained
afloat for three hours and the wireless
operator remained on board until the
ship sunk and communicated with a
nearby naval station, unfortunately no
torpedo boats were available to rescue
the passengers, including many SOL

MAKES PARIS LAUGH
German Papers Give Lurld Tales
of Bombardment.
City Is Serene and No One Pays Any
Attention to Long-Range
Gun.

Paris, France.-The damage caused
In the Paris district by shells from the
long range German cannon has been
Insignificant in proportion to the mirth
provoked by German newspaper re-
ports giving lurid accounts of the
damage, panic and CONSERVATION in
the French capital since the lombard
ment began.
One German paper says great num-
bers of dead are buried at night; that
the people of Paris take their break
fast and luncheon In their cellars and
that all those who can leave the
stricken city are Fastening to a safe
distance. Another says that in the high
tension of nerves resulting from the
havoc the common people, "whO are
unable to leave the city" are bringing
about trouble that amounts to riots
after each unfavorable communique
from the fighting front.
The situation in Paris has been de-
scribed fully by cable. No disorder of
any kind has occurred and instead of
CONSERVATION there reigns and has
reigned from the beginning perfect
tranquility. No one pays further at
tention to the long range guns than to
speculate after each explosion as to
where the shell fell. Most Of the
shells fall in the soft earth Of the
country districts.
The few shells that have reached
settled portions of "the intrenched
camp of Paris" have done astonlsh.

Spies and Fishermen Help Supply
and Signal German
Captains.
BASES on NEUTRAL LAND
Craft Hunt In Groups and Have Ae'
curate information Of Sailings-
Temptation Too Much for
Fishermen.

Rome.-The U-boat offensive Is still
serious In the Mediterranean. Sub
marine bases exist In neutral cOun-
tries, where information, provisions
and even petrol are supplied to the
German commanders. Some time ago
three Slcillan fishermen were charged
with supplying provisions to an enemy
Submarine off Augusta. In the course
of the trial before the military tribunal
at Catania evidence was brought to
show that while the fishermen were
out at sea in their boat submarine
rose to the surface and ordered the
three men to go on board.
The commander then informed them
that two would be kept as hostages
while the third was to go ashore In
the boat and get the fresh provisions
needed. If he returned with them with
in two or three hours the two fisher
men would not only be released but
also compensated; otherwise they
would be killed. The man was warn
ed that If he informed the italian au-
thorities the fate Of his two compan-
ions would be the same. Naturally
the man obeyed. He returned with
the provisions within the appointed
time and was well paid for his trou-
BILE and faithfulness. OF course the
two hostages were released. Evident
ly the fishermen's story was corroborat-
ed by the evidence Of other men, as the
tribunal acquitted the two hostages
and sentenced the man who got the
provisions to ten years hard, labor for
neglecting to inform the authorities.
Cannot Resist Temptation.
There are thousands of fishermen In
Italy who lead a hard life without
earning q living wage and who can
not resist the temptation Of making
money. Besides, they are easily in
| timidated by the threats of the COM
manders of submarines, who often
sink fishing boats and murder the fish
ermen for the sake of imposing Obedl-
ence. 1t Is reasonably suspected that
fishermen aid submarines In many
ways. They warn them Of the ap
proach Of war vessels and mystery
ships and give them valuable informa
ton about sailings and courses of con
voys. Possibly If the allies compen
stated fishermen as well as the com
manders of submarines do satisfac
tory results would follow.

dlers, who perished. There seems to
be no doubt that the commander Of the
submarine had been informed that
rescue was impossible, as otherwise
the torpedoed mail boat would have
been sunk by shell fire.
Cease to Be Dangerous.
Other ships have been sunk both Oft
Sardinia and in other parts of the
Mediterranean very close to the coast
under similar circumstances. 1t iG
significant that whenever enemy citi-
zens or enemy agents and spi>s have
been discovered and arrested in GER
tain localities where ships were being
sunk by submarines these zones ceased
Immediately to be dangerous. Expert
ence shows that patrOlling the route
of conveys Is not sufficient unless the
coast Is we'll watched so that signal
ing to submarines IL prevented. II
seems that U-boats hardly ever use
their wireless even among themselves
lest their messages should be inter
cepted and their whereabouts discov
cred.
The crew of ship recently sunk al
night by a submarine reported to the
authorities that when they had taker
to the boats and were pulling away
from the sinking ship the submarine
was exchanging flash signals by means
Of an electric lamp. The night wal
very dark, and at first the answering
signals were not visible, but shortl!
afterward the flashes Of at least f1v'
submarines could clearly be seen
'"They were like glow worms over th'

the signals. Evidently submarine

AS EFFECTIVE AS DYNAMITE
Liquid Oxygen, Manufactured cheaply,
to Be Prepared in Test Plant on
Commercial Basis.

If used within ten minutes after
the saturation of the cartridge, liquid
oxygen is as effective as dynamite for
blasting purposes, according to ex-
periments of the bureau of mines.
In view of the successful work done
with this explosive, a large liquid
air manufacturing company has
agreed to erect test plant on a COM
mercial scale. This will be at a large
mine or quarry, to give opportunity
for determining the extent of the
value of liquid oxygen as a CONNER
cial explosive.
The bureau of mines is studying
the best methods of handling the sub
stance and the development of salts
factory containers, says the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal. The
cost of the carbonaceous material
composing the stick, the liquid oxy-
gen for one cartridge and the con-
tainer is insignificant. The prob
lem is largely that of reducing vast
age and securing the requisite stand
ardlZation,
