BRITISH SUBMARINES
SANK TWENTY U-B0A1S
Crews of England's Undersea
Craft Took Pirate Fleet From
the Beaten Hun.

Harwich, England, Dec. 7.-tCor-
respondence of the Associated Press)-
The business of actually accepting the
German submarines in surrender was
performed by officers and men OF the
British submarine force, who for more
than four wears, had maintained tedious,
but relentless vigil of waters OF the British
Isles An admiral IN light cruiser conf
manded the feet to which the U-boats
surrendered, but IT was submarine
officer who first stepped aboard each sub
marine, curtly went through with the
brief formalities and it was crew ot
men who had fought the U-boats by
underwater methods that manned it and
took IL to port.
These men had uncompiainingly stuck
to Job that was recognized by the Ad-
miralty as one OF the most unattractive
in the navy, but it was ended by partlcipa-
tion in au event unique III naval history
and fitting ending for service performed.
Although British submarines always
were on the lookout for U-boats, their
success in the war was not measured by
tho number they DESTROYED Nevertheless
it was co-incidcnt that 20 U-boats should
have been sunk by British submarines
during the war and it was the same num-
ber first surrendered 10 tho British SUB
marine crews on the day the taking over
of the German fleet was lnaugurated Oft
this port.
As far as possible the admiralty dis
tributed the honor Of taking over the
U-boats among all the men Of the sub
marine flotllla Fourteen men were placed
on each surrendered boat and as they
surrendered in patches of 20, total OF
$50 officers and men were allowed to par
ticipatc each day Every man looked for
ward 10 1t eagerly, all of them wanted To
he selected for the first days work, but
when thcv boarded the beaten craft, they
maintained excellent discipline and orders
against any demonstration were 50 care
fully obcved, that 1t was almost an AIR Of
dsinterest that they went about their
duties
So much had been said Of the intricacics
OF the German submarine, that there were
many misgivings among the British oft1c-
crS Of their ability to navigate them soon
after thev had received them. They were
soon reassurcd however, as nothing so far
different from other submarines was found
Among the first - brought in was the
t--I35, which is 276 feet long, was com
peted three months ago and had never
been to sea until she crossed the British
channel to be surrendered Her type
attracted Commodore > = Hail. who
has been at the head Of the British sub
marine force SINCE the beginning of hos
tIlItics.
He wa taken 70 the vessel soon after
she was placed IN her berth IN the River
Stour and Inspected her with the young
British lieutenant who had taken her
over and brought her into port, with the
and Of tho German engineers. Commodore
Hall, about to leave, sInilIngly asked
the lieutenant when he would bc ready to
shove off But the young man took the
question seriously and promptly replied
Il can take her to sea IN couple of
hours She is frightfully dirty, but the
engines are IN good shape and my men
can operate them

populations, Captain George B. Lester

closed why in July last, President Wilson

ter, was the gravity Of the situation Gre
ated as a result Of enemy activities in
the Southern States, The Germans not
only followed the Negroes INTO the cotton
fields and mills, but also into the army.

in the Hearst publications subsequent
10 April 6. 1917, was at the instance of
Senator Sterling. He came 10 tho hear
ing armed with mass Of materials
CLEANED from the Hearst papers.
''I would like Ia ask Captain Lester
said Senator Sterling. two or three
questions in regard TO a few cartoons
that | have before me. Now, Captain
Lester. may ! ask II in your inycstiga-
tions YOU have come IN contact with the
various forms of German propaganda
Yes, a great many Of them, the
witness replied.
What would YOU say in regard 10
the use of the cartoon rs a means Of
spreading propaganda"
Il think it is one of the most effective
means of spreading propaganda that has
ever been devised.

ing salmon, shad cod and other fishes which have had a ready sale, the Bulletin devotes much space also to news concerning the catch of pole founders, sharks, rays, skates, carp, grayfish, which formerly rejoiced in the uninviting name Of dogfish, and other types of waterf00d Regarding the pole founder or gray sole, the Bulletin, records that it was virtual ly unknown as food prior to the Fall of 1916. As a result of the Bureaus 5 food conservation campaign, which taught the value of the founder and attractive ways to prepare it, demand for the fish increased until last sea son there were 35 boats taking floun- ders to the New England markets
 and probably 100000 pounds have been marketed. Carp abounds in In- terior lakes. An agent of the Bu- reau was sent to St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, St Paul.
 Milwaukee, Chicago and Indianapolis to stimulate the use of fish. A bull letin contained recipes for cooking carp was prepared State commits sions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana co-operated in the work

SP0R ' 5

WASHINGTON, May 29.-One of the most curious. anomalies of the present war, which has been called the greatest destroyer in the world history, has been the addition Of many thousands of dollars to the Ma tional wealth of the United States through the utilization of fish foods which were thrown away as worth less until necessity demanded their conservation. Fishing communities on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts and even on the interior lakes have found their income augmented materially by the public readiness to eat fish, which formerly was re- garded with prejudice through ignor ance of the foods tastiness and nut riment. =
 The radical change which has been wrought by the war in the fishing industry is reflected in the Fisheries Service Bulletin, published by the Bureau of Fisheries of the Depart ment of Commerce. Instead of be- ing confined solely to items concern
