THE STORY OF THE aQ-BOATS" l. First Blood
 (By "RARTIMEUSoD

There was a day, now happily past, when the submarine scourge was broad cast upon the seas; then the country turned for it's salvation to the-navy, up on which, under the, good providence of God, it had grown accustomed to rely in most Of the crises of it's history. Scientific and mechanical appliances, on the scale adequate to meet and check mate the outrage of unrestricted sub marine warfare, could not be produced by pressing button. With workshops and laboratories yielding their output at highest pressure, the German building yards were gaining in the race. Every day brought it's sickening tale, of sink ing and burning and murder on the high seas, and in Whitehall offices men studied statistics and columns of figures with faces ever growing graver.
 The terrible tension. of those days is best forgotten now9 Prices rose. ships sank, and the navy said not a word. It was doing it's damndest" in silence, ac- eording to its wont. And not even in for castle or :wardroom did men so much as whisper what was afoot. Today the sub- marine remains merely as a stern cor- rective. curbing waste and extravaganza, bracing the nations nerve. The ingenuity of man is boundless, and science has not yet said her word human courage and devoted valor alone seem to have reached a point there is no transcending. It was these two factors which stemmed the flood at the moment of supreme crisis; on these the veil is at last lifted, and the tale now told in all simplicity ana truth.
 THE EARLY PHASES
 The methods of the German submarine in its war against unarmed shfppins gradually settled down to a routine whicf varied but little in the early phases o1 the conflict It was the custom to at tempt to torpedo at sight, on the prin- ciple of the least said the soonest mend ed. If the torpedo missed, as was not in frequently the case, the submarine brok' surface a mile or so away from the shiI and firsd a shot across her bows. The merchantmen had then two alternatives to take to his heels and try to escape Or to heaye to and abandon ship. Il the latter case the submarine closed thu derelict to within a few hundred yards and summoned the boats alongside. A the muzzle of a revolver the captalf was ordered into the submarine With hl' papers and the crew of his boat directed to row q party of German sailors. bear ing bombs, back to the ship. Ihes' worthes, having pla ced the bombs in tn ships vitals and footed the officers quarters. returned to the submarine, pro pelled by the men they had robbed ant whose ship they were engaged in sink ing From the German point of view tn situation was not without it's humor, ant in the majority of cases these merry leu tons saw fit, by jeers, to share the Jes

Liberal Policy to Be Adopted Towards Other European Countries, War Trade
 Board Announces

 Washington. December 13-Almost unlimited export of .csmmodities to the United Kingdom, Ffance, Italy ana Japan Sand their colonies was an nounced today by the war trade boaro' effective December 16. At the saiiie time the board said that liberal pollcy would be adopted toward Europeah countries generally for materials or all sorts except certain foodstuffs, put there would be no relaxation of the blockade against Germany during the armistice period.
 The ruling affecting the allied couh- tries and their colonies was descrlpe" by the board as the most sweeping III it's history and includes everything eA- cept those commodities on the conser- vation list This. list, originally cov- ering most articles, already reduced since duced since hostilities ceased, will be further reduced within 8 few days.
 Regarding countries other than the allies, the board forecasts the open ing up of shipments to Norway, sSwe- den, Switzerland and Spain and also to South and Central America, the West Indies and the far east within snort time. The board predicts ample toE- mage for trade routes within snort time.
 The removal of restrictions affecting the neutrals, it was added is made pos sib1e because the United States and the allies now have an "abundance oi manufactured facilities and manufac- tured articles" America has also, It was declared, many raw materials which it is no longer necessary to con serve for war purposes, and which the county is now ready to release freely to neutrals.
 There will be no relaxation regard ing enemy trade and no shipments to firms on the enemy trading list will he narp,itted

GREAT NAVAL SPECTACLE

On Board the U. S. S. George Wash. ington, December 13.-(By the Associ- ated Press. .)-The American battleship division joined President Wilson's ship at o'clock this morning, providing one of the few naval spectacles in with lights and the sight, was an in- spring one.
 Long before daylight the battleship Pennsylvania, leading the presidential convoy, picked up by wireless the ves- sels approaching. The night was part ly cloudy. Suddenly the Pennsylvania got a series of rapid signals from 9 destroyer lowering off on the skyline and began signaling. The searchlights pointed long illuminated finger mot the. sky, wrote a message in flashes on. the big black clouds. In a few seconds, the answer, written on the sky by. a battieship away over the horizon, began to come back.
 Then the toplights of the fleet came over the curve one by one and stood by the Presidents ship. which pro- all the ships in the convoy spread out and fell into their appointed places on the right of the line of formation.
 The Pennsylvania was at the head of the center column, having on either side a destroyer, then a line of four battleships, then a line of f6destroyers on the extreme outside. The battle ship Wyoming with Vice Admiral Sims on board, headed the line on the left, followed by the Utah, the Oklahoma, the Nevada, the Arizona in that order. The line on the right wass headed by the New York, followed by the Texas, the Arkansas, and the Florida.
 At IN o'clock the French fleet began to come up from the south. There were 12 cruisers steaming in one column. The French warships fired a salute slowly as they approached the George Washington to the leeward and puffs of black smoke could be seen all along the line but only few reports were heard. The American sbattleships moved ahead to make room for Nthe French escort.
 A big hydroairplane then appeared from the direction of Brest It circled and dipped over the fleet as 1t ex- changed signals with the flagships Later a big French dirigible floated by, flying the, American colors.
 When the French warships had talk. en their places more than .40' vessels were steaming in the line of columns.
 President, Wilson and the members of his party stood on the bridge of the George Washington to witness the na- val Spectacle

beneath the surface the avenger reached the spot. and dropped a depth charge over her. A moment after the explosion the submarine appeared in perpendicu- lar position alongside the ship. denting the bilge keel as she rolled drunkenly among the waves. The after gun put five more rounds into the shattered hull at point blank range and, as she sank for the last, time, two more depth charges were dropped in mercy to speed her passing.
 The lieutenant commander in command had personally been experimenting the administering of the coup de grace from the stern, and, as he turned to make his way forward to the bridge for few brief moments. the bonds of naval dis cipline relaxed. His men surged round him in wildly cheering throng, strug- gling to be the first to wiring him by the hand They then mustered in the saloon, standing bareheaded while their captain read the prayers of thanksgiv- ing for victory, and oalled for three cheers for his majesty, the King They cheered as only men can cheer in the first exultant flush of victory.
