HUN U-BOATS ARE
SHORT OF TORPED0ES
GERMAN FACTORIES CANNOT NOW
FURNISH SUFFICIENT NUM-
BIER FOR SUBMARINES.

Correspondence of the Associated PresSl
Base OF the American Flotilla in Brit
,5h Waters, Jan. G.-Shortage of tor
pedoos is one of the most serious facts
with which the directors Of the German
U-boat war are nov, faced. II is a well
known and admitted fact that German
factories are at present absolutely uu-
able to turn out irst-class torpedoes in
anywhere sufficient quantities for the
needs of the submarines. In fact, the
underwater craft are being turned out
faster than the torpedoes, with the re-
suit that recourse has been had to va.
lious eXpedents to keep the submarines
supplied with their chief weapon.
Germany fleet of U.hoats must carry
thousands of torpedoes. Thousands more
aust always be ready i'm reserve. In
fact the reserve supply should be larger
today than a year ago to allow for the
more frequent calls made upon it, The
augmented destroyer patrol is respon-
sible for this. They have made the
submarines use up more torpedoes and
have caused them to return to their base
more frequently for reloading.
Carry Eight Torpedoes.
Eight may be said to be the average
number of torpedoes carried in one sub
marine. The number ranges from four
TO twelve. according to the tvpe OF
submarine The I'.j3 which raided
shipping off the Atlantic coast of the
United States carried ten. More recent
tines load as many as twelve. Mine
ayers can accommodate two four and
SIX. depending on their size.
In connection with this shortage is
the interesting fact that all U-boat com
rlanlers now are strictly "rationcd" as
far rs their supply Of torpedoes is CON
ceined and are not permitted to waste
torpedoes on long Chance shots" ex.
,ept under circumstances which they
must explain in detail as iustifying the
expenditure of the precious underwater
missiles.
Recently the German factories have
been turning out smaller torpedo
which is less accurately tested but
which may be used with a fair degree
If certainty at close range. OF late
very few German torpcdoes have proved
effective unless at fairly close range
and il has become unusual for a I-.boat
commander to make any attempt al n
merchant ship unless he can get within
SEQ or 600 yards.
Two Types Are Used.
The Germans are now using two
| types Of torpedoes. They may be de-
-cribed as ehortcharge and fun.charge
.orpedocs. The shortcharge is the one
dsed mostly against merchant shipping
and is fired at 500 to coo wards. The
uu charge. which has probably twice
the destructive force and is better made
,s reserved for men.or.yar If ie fred

10 Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

MANY people have been frightened by
what they have read or heard OF influenza.
The more you fear the disease, the surer
Won are to get it. Go right about you-
business and forget it. AS the disease IS
spread principally by contact thru sneez-
i1g, coughing or splitting, many health au-
thoritieS have advised that everyone wear
q gauze, which is daily washed and satur-
ated with q one to five hundred solution
OF zinc sulphate in water, ana then drled
before wearing over the. nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups ard public towels. Keep your
strength up by taking lots of exercise In
the open air and plenty OF nourishing food.
II YOU have any of such symptoms as
chilliness, nasal Instructions, flushed lace,
headache, feverishness, reStlessneSs, weak
ness, or irritating cough, give up work at
once and go to bed. This VIII save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels. with some
euch mild and non-irritating physic as Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi-
paliy OF hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty Of clothes in bed so as to get
+, good sweat When sweating Is free and
The fever reduced take dose Of two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least glass or two OF hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to
relieve the soreness OF the muscles ana
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisons;;
10 relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose, prob
ably nothing is better than such a mild,
| soothing. antiseptic wash as DR.. Sage's
Catirrh Remedy 1t will give great
relief. Employed as a gargle, in same
/ strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can be borne, 1t quickly ar
rests soreness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakcns the patients resist
anca to disease, so that there is danger OF
| bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To
combat this tendency and fortiHy the pa,
tients's strength insist that he keep in bed
/ at least two days. Probably nothing will
| at this stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an iron
tonic tablet called Irontic or that vel
