U-BOATS BALKED
BY AIR FIGHTERS
Alrpianes Are of Great Assist
ance in Finding Enemy
Submarines. =
NECESSARY ALLY OF NAVY
Great Britain Sees Need Of Holding
Command Of Air 40 Well 40 Of
sea-Aireraft Either Attack
or Summon Patrols.

Iond0n.-The measure Of the sue
cess of the antisubmarine campaign is
the safe crossing Of the Atlantic by
million American troops. Il
There Is very properly good deal
Of official reticence regarding the
methods by which submarines are de-
stroyed, but It is an open secret that
the royal air force has contributed
largely toward the defeat Of the o.
boat campaign.
Just as airplanes have become an
essential auxiliary to the army, so air.
craft have become an Indispensable
ally of the navy, making it clear that
ascendancy In the air in future will be
as vital to Britain as her present as
cendancy at sea.
Airships Of two main types, the
smaller known as the submarine scout
and the larger as the coast patrol
type, and seaplanes, are the chief In
struments for dealing with submarines
from the air. The first business Of all
aircraft or submarine offensive Is to
find the submarine.
See Submerged Boats.
From q certain height In the air,
submerged U-boats are visible to OBJ
servers and their position Is commune
Gated to the nearest naval patrol. The
work Of aircraft is by no means con-
fined to detecting the U-boats. They
have means of Immediately attacking
their prey without waiting for the ar
rival Of the naval patrol.
There is the obvious means Of drop
ping bombs, fully effective when the
submarine is caught on or just below
the surface. Modern antisubmarine
aircraft are almost equally at home In
the air or on the water. Should the
U-boat dive through the water, its pur-
suer can dive through the air and re-
lease depth charges. which have con-
siderable range Of action, and are much
feared by U-boat commanders.
In claiming for the r. A. f. a large
share In winning the safe landing of
Americas first million the reservation
must be made that the range Of air
craft from their bases is limited, but
their bases are not necessarily on land,
and seaplanes and submarine scouts
have accommodation on shipboard and
are carried to the area Of their deep.
sea patrols.
Where They Are Thletes&
Again. It Is naturally In home wa
tiers and especially In the North sea
that submarines are thickest, outward
bound from Germany. so that aircraft
patrols are effective from home bases
over the sea zone most frequented by
U-boats.
Coast patrol airships accompany
conveys through home waters "spot-
ting" submarines. to be dealt with
either by themselves or by. destroy.
ers; and IL the U-boat menace is not
yet mastered, 1t is steadily and un-
mistakably being brought under con-
troll.
Safe landing Of million Americans
In France is a big fact, the signii-
canoe Of which can hardly be missed
even in Germany, where, according to
/ neutral witnesses, scepticism has been
rapidly growing lately concerning the
possibilities Of the U-boat campaign.

Shark Fishino an Industry.

Shark fishing has evolved from a sport to an organized industry In the Pacific waters of the southwestern coast. The skin of various species of the fish when tanned forms tough durable leather that Is in considerable demand, and the oil that Is extracted from the carcass likewise has commer- cial value. Of late a Japanese syndi. cate has undertaken the exploitation of this long neglected field and. as q re- >ult large numbers of sharks are being captured. The mottled skins of the tiger sharks are being made into slip perS. belts, gloves and other articles while those of the great blue and l'ask ing sharks, which are especially thick aud strong, are used for purposes that demand lnng-Iivcd material.

WHY DOES public sentiment con demn the working man who asks a higher price for his labor end not get ting it withholds his commodity, and praise the man who asks exorbitant prices for necessities and net getting it refuses to let his goods go out of the store: What is the difference be- twen labor and capital when one has something to sell, whether it be lab or or material? Until this question is settled there will always be unions and always be strikes. A combination of capital brings forth combination Cf labor. A raise in the price of nee sssltles always brings request for raise i.l the price of labor. Invari- ably tLC severest critics of labO- arc the men who never work with their hands; and the greatest critics oi capital are those who never have a dollar not working.

THAT Valdez is the most law abidiGg town in the Third Division, and in fact the whole territory is shown Ey the fact that not one arrest has heen made since the territory went dry, for drunkenness or boot logging and rot one arrest has been made for seditious utcrances of pro German propaganda. This speaks well for the city. as we have mixed popu- lation, who are intensely interested in the war. Our officials have been on the alert for offenders in both cases, but report that the people are loyal and law-abiding. No complaint has ev- CT reached the officials that anyone is not in perfect accord with the war plans, and it speaks well for the city that this is so. If the city could be as unanimous in civic affairs as it is in backing up the administration we would have one of the largest and most progressive towns on the coast in short time.
