tho something was "in the air. 4"
We were cruising on patrol when
we heard number of shots close
by. We couldn't see where they
came from, but could hear the
direction; the fog was so thick we
could only see a few feet on
either side of us.
Suddenly, right out of the fog,
another destroyer shot across our
bow and missed us by about 25
yards. Then we heard more
shots.
We had been cruising slowly.

Everybody was relieved to find
we were intact. By that time we

dropped a depth-charge and we
were over the explosion. We

rung up full speed. We had not
gone many yards when we came
upon a spot where there were
many bubbles coming to the sur

over the water for a great dis

ports, which is the paramount co..
sideration. The Germans choose
the Alsne for their camouflage
victory undoubtedly because 1t was
the least strongly held part Of the
front within range Of the Ter.
tonic reserves in western Francs.
The success OF the Germans
along the Aisne must be regarded
as the price the allies are paying
for the security OF the channs'
coast.
1t is also an acknowledgement by
Won Hindenburg that he cannot
disregard the clamorous cries o.
the Germans to be fed with more
tales OF victory. altho sound MIL
tary policy is against the sacrifices
such futile successes require.
The strtegic situation, in fact,
seems to be getting out of Won
Hindenburg's reach and Is becom-
ing political in its purposes.
The Germans have succeeded
by the present operations in cut
ting the railway between Scissors
and Rheims. This is an import
ant line of communication, serv-
ing the southern front Of the al
lies in France. 1t has been cut,
however. at only one point, Fis-
mes. The sectors to the east and
west are still well within the
safety zone. The capture of the
environs Of Fismes Ia far from
representing a major success. 1t
may set the Berlin crowds cheer
ing, but the reaction will be all
the more dangerous when Berlin
has had time to realize In sober
silence how meaningless has been
the new sacrifice Of German man
hood.

Won Hindenburg's persistent
sacrifice of his man-power along
the subordinate Aisne front is the
best evidence the Germans ha,,-
given that they consider an az
vance to the channel ports too dif-
ficult an enterprise to be under
taken at this time.
The Aisne operations have gCae
too far to be considered solsiy q, a
feint.
The death toll that has had TO
be paid for the gains In the terri
tory. has been too heavy to justify
the theory that Won Hindenbu. g
has desired simply to create a
diversion.
The Aisne drive must be regard
ed as a major operation, undGr
taken in obedience to the clamor
OF German people for more VIC
tories.
The real victory, entailins tia
capture Of Boulogne, Calais aud
Dunkirk apparently has been juis-

a foot or SO out of the water, or
only couple of inches, and 1t Is
painted light green and gray.
A periscope is very hard to dis
tinguish in the sea unless you see
them rushing thru the water;
then they get up a little wake
but even then you cannot see that
very far. But IL we can get near
the spot where a submarine goes
down, the depth charge will do
the business.
You just sit on the stern and
roll them Overt At touch of a
button on the bridge, too, they
can be released so they just roll
off. They are set to explode at a
certain depth.
Many U-boats are destroyed
that are never seen by the de-
stroyer that gets them. If we get
a report of a submarine in a GER
tain spot, we proceed there at
full speed and are sometimes able
to locate it by the bubbles and the
streak of oil on the water.
We follow that streak of oil
go from one end to another and
see which end is moving, and drop
a couple of "ash-cans" on that
end.
We have often followed q
streak of oil for miles and miles,
only to come to the end of 1t and
see nothing there. Then we knew
we had gone to the wrong end.
Turning we would then 60
up to the other end and find
the streak moving, drop
couple of "ash-cans," and up
came the bubbles and Oil.

We never captured submar-

our sister ship. She dropped a
depth bomb on it and the submar-
inc came to the surface and when
they saw the two destroyers they
surrendered. 1t is very seldom a
submarine is captured; they gen.
eraly open the seacock and let
them go.
Our sister destroyer brought in
the Germans and put them onto
our flag boat-about 80 or 40 Of

years old, big, sturdy blond Ger

In summing, up the celebration Of
the Fourth and the interest and good
cheer Of everyone who took part we
surely cannot overlook the good work
done by Mrs. Geo. Mayhem and Mrs.
Fred Winger in selling tags for the
Red Cross. Mrs. Mayhem sold tags
to the amount Of $4O.85 and Mrs.
Winger to the amount of $5O.15,
which was not only a pleasant sur
prise to themselves but to all the
members of the circle when they
opened the boxes at their regular
meeting Tuesday. .s>.
Mrs. L. H. Lien who has charge Of
the knitting branch Of the Grand Ma
rails circle has received word from
the Duluth chapter that all work
now out must be in by the last of
July, and also it is very urgent for
those who can to take up knitting in
preference to sewing, as the demand
for socks at the present time is
great, that the members are particu-
larly requested to favor this line of
work when it is possible for them to
do so. Anyone desiring yarn or in
structions along these lines will
please phone or call on Mrs. Lien.
At the meeting of the Red Cross
yesterday Mrs. A. M. Anderson TEN
dered her resignation as chairman of
the circle, and after transactlng con-
siderable business, also doing no
little amount of work, the circle held
their regular election, which resulted
as follows: Mrs. C.. j. Johnson, chair
man; Mrs. J. C. Murphy secretary and
treasurer. These officers will serve
until October 1st when a general
election Of all the officers through
out the state win be held.
