Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 20.-Woman doc
tors serving in army hospitals are
dissatisfied at the attitude of the
military authorities regarding their
rank.
One Of them said: I'VE are all ex-
pected to carry out the same disci-
plinary duties as Medical Corps Of
hcers without having the facilities
for enforcing discipline which a badge
of rank gives. The only satisfactory
way to settle the question is to give
US honorary commissions, with the
right to wear badges of rank. We
don't want to be colonels and majors
for the sake Of the thing. but to
enable us to carry out our work
without SO much exertfon Of per-
sonality. The men in the hospitals
do not know our rank or how to treat
US until we are personally known to

The condition. physically and men,

giving considerable anxiety In Ger
many. The strain Of being compelled
TO remain under water for very ex-
tended periods and being hunted by
aircraft, torpedo boat destroyers,
motor boats. trawlers and other craft.
has had a marked effect upon the
personnel and has necessitated an in
creased period of rest for both officers
and men.
Here's a story of how these pests
of the sea are sent to their doom.
After a successful running fight with
U-boat in the morning a British
steamship was attacked the same
evening by another submarine which
she beat of after narrowly escaping
being torpedoed.
In the first fight the submarine
opened fire with her fore and aft guns
but the shots fell wide. The vessel
responded with her single gun and
after her third round saw the sub
marine submerge. A few minutes
later a torpedo passed just under the
ships stern as she was zg-zaKging
Then the submarine again broE-
surface and steaming at high speed
opened fire at closer range. The
ships gunners replied. their third shot
striking the U-boat's coming tower
Cheered on by the remainder of the
crew the gunners continued to reply
coolly and deliberately to the sub
marines fire and were rewarded by
seeing the Germans after gun put
out of action.
The effect of these shots was too
much for the U-boat commander who
withdrew all his men from the deck
