are wanted by tie navy to outfit the
hundreds OF destroyers and patrol
boats that are being sent to help
against the submarine menace and
to guard our brave lads on such
troops ships as the Tuscania. It's
a big thought. but your field glasses
might save a thousand American
lives and may make possible the ed
struction of an underwater boat.
