SPOTS SUBMARINE
ON BED OF OCEAN
Seaplane Has important Part in
Hunting Down German
U-Boats.
SHARED WITH STEEL ROPES
Enemy Is Given Five Minutes to Rise
and Surrender, Then Is Blown
Up-vivid Description by
English Writer.

London.-One of the methods by
which, as the first sea lord, Sir Eric
Geddes said recently, the submarine
menace is being "held," is wildly de-
scribed by a writer in the Liverpool
Journal of Commerce.
A seaplane had spotted" subma-
rine lying on the sea bed. Instantly
the observers finger commenced to
tap a key. Ten miles away long,
lean destroyer and four squat trawlers
detached themselves like pack of
hounds working covert, and fastened
to the kill. Meanwhile the seaplane
circled around. When the surface
ships arrived, her Instructions deliv-
cred by wireless. were curt and pre-
else.
Acting upon them the trawlers sta
toned themselves at the four corners
of a wet quadrangle, while the de-
stroyer kept her guns ready to talk to
Fritz should he appear above the sur
face.
The trawlers at the corners got out
their sweeps-long wire hawsers, with
a heavy "kite" in the center to keep
their bights down on the seabed-and
commenced to steam toward each
other.
AS the pairs of vessels met, their
wires simultaneously engaged them
selves under the U-boat's bow and
stern, and commenced to work their
sinuous way between her hull and the
sea bottom.
Then the strange thing happened.
Two round, black objects seemed to
detach themselves from her hull and
float surfaceward, to hover second
and then to commence bobbing down
the tide.
'Minelayer, eh?" called the sea-
planes observer.
That's it, lad" came the telephoned
answer, ''but her eggs can wait for a
minute"
Then the trawlers crossed their de-
pendent cables and thus held the o.
boat in kind of wire cats cradle. she
seemed to suddenly awake to her
danger, for with bound she tried to ]
disentangle herself from the meshes
which held her. But it was no use:
the trawlers had been too long at the
game and the submarine was doomed.
"Got him." signaled the seaplane.
Thanks" responded the destroyer.
wen give him five minutes to come
up and breathe, but no longer" That
time passed but still Fritz made no
further move.
The End of the U-Boat.
At flag signal from the destroyer
the port foremost trawler and the star
board after one clipped a small red
tin of high explosive to the bar-taut
wire, and allowed it to slide down till
1t touched the U-boat's hull.
1t was the seaplane's turn to wave a
flag, and Immediately there followed
the fall of two fists upon two firing
keys; the uprising of two gray mounds
Of water and rumbling, muffied ex-
plosion.
The seaplane circled twice above
the patch of rising OIL, ascertained
that Fritz had been destroyed, and
notified the destroyer. Then. with her
observer slipping drum of cartridges
into his machine gun, she sped on after
those objects bobbing down tide.
A burst of rapid firing and the first
OF the devils eggs, its buoyancy cham
Der punctured, sank with gurgle:
the second gave better show, for it
exploded grandly -and harmlessly-as
the bullets reached it.

Ta1E TASK TO WHICH WE MUST
NOW DEDICATE OURSELVES.
Orchard H. Edmonds, Editor Manu-
facturers Record)

Germany has ceased to be land of
civilized human beings. 1t is merely
). great fighting machine which, like
her machinery. is without conscience
o. morals.
Germany knows no law except the
Law Of might. 1t knows no other rea-
son for the existence of men and
yemen and children than to serve the
site as represented by it's diabolical
mi itaristic element
Therefore, Germany slaughters in
cold blood, with no more feeling or
conscience than piece of machinery
would have in killing a man who was
fed into its ruthless NAV.
lie machinery has no conscience,
no moral force; but that does not less
CT lis terrific power for evil to the in
dlyiGual who runs contrary to its ap-
pointed plan for grinding or crushing
o. cutting, or for any other work for
which it's builder created it. This is
the ,sghting machine which we now
face.

The Great Tabernacle Meetings Grow

The tabernacle meetings are grow
ing in interest, conviction is deepen
ing, the gospel is quickening, and the
folks are listening.
Yesterday was the best up-to-date.
Evangelist Ray sub-soiled, the gospel
pillow went in to the beam; fallow
ground was broken up.
In the morning service the evangel-
list ikened the Christian to the sacred
palm tree. He grows straight, bears
fruit, no matter what of the weather
or condition; roots down as deep as
he grows tall; is not uprooted by
storms. Many other beautiful
thoughts. Say! You ought to have
been there.
The night service was attended by
a good crowd. The singing was great.
1t lifted us. Bro. Martin, our evan
gelistic singer, sang a duet with Mrs.

According to an ancient German
legend the fall of the house of Hohen-
zollern will come when the statue of
Christ on the Cross a relic of the
seventh century which stands in
Kaysersburg, decays. The statue has
been tasty decaying in the past few
years, and since the war the authori-
ties have been continuously repairing
the damaged parts because of the eff
feet of the destruction of the statue
