WISH Of NAVY NOW
IS To STRIKE BACK
SINKING OF THE TUScANiA PRE-.
SAGES REDOUBLED WAR
AGAINST SUBMARINES.
Navy Officials Have No Reason to
Change Their Opinion That the
Submarine Menace Is
Being Overcome.

WashingtOn.-Much satisfaction is
found by officials here in the unOffi-
cial accounts of the destruction of the
British liner Tuscania by a German
submarine which showed that a de-
strOyer, presumably British, gave chase
to the raider and possibly sank it with
a depth bomb.
port laden with American troops is
tempered by the growing total of sur
vivOrs, and the dominant emotion
among army and navy men now is the
desire to strike back.
Navy officials see no reason to
change their opinion that the subma-
rine menace Is being overcome. The
Tuscania incident is regarded as an
isolated case, which may serve to de-
velop additional methods for repelling
the undersea craft and improving the
convoy system. No details of the ac-
ton will be passed over when full re-
ports from the British admiralty are
available.
Many devices enter into the battle
against the U-bOats, some of which
have been evolved by American inven-
tors. Others have been greatly i'm
proved since the United States entered
the war, and the detection apparatus
now installed on American craft is so
successful that British craft are being
similarly equipped.
There have been indications that the
U-bOats have learned to fear this abil-
| ity of American craft to locate them at
a distance and maneuver to bring the
submerged vessel within range of a
depth bomb. With destroyer in the
vicinity, the underwater craft moves
carefully far below the surface of the
water, depending on mechanical ears
which bring to her the propeller beats
of the surface vessel When a de-
strOyer stops to "listen," unhampered
by the beat of it's own engines, the
lurking foe also stops, to lie silent be-
low until the destroyer moves on
again.

Among these documents is circular

UNSUITABLE SHIP

MAIDEN VOYAGE OF VESSEL

viii Endeavor to Make Trip
Across the Atlantic.

Washinpton.-The first non sinkablr
sea-going ship, the Lucia, achievement
of American genius, Will load TINS week
and leave for Europe. She Will be
without convoy at any stage OF the
VOYAGE. She goes rs an open cliai-

No other test has been made or will
be made of the efficacy OF her multi
plicity of alright and water-ught
cells. Her trial trip and maiden voy'
age will be IL def to the U-bOats or the
most practical test possible OF their
craftsmanship.
1t has been intended to make a test
of the Lucia in drydock, but 1t was
learned Sunday from John A. Donald,
vice-president Of the emergency fleet
corporation and shipping board COM
missioner that the drydock test had
been abandoned for drastic trial in the
proving grounds of the danger zone.
Inventor to Oversee Loading.
William +. DOnnelly, marine engi-
neer of New York, and inventor of the
non-sinkable construction of the Lucia,
will have complete charge of the load
ing of the vessel. Although the Lucia
is fitted with $1,000 of the water and
air tight cells, permanently attached to
the frames and deck beams and other
available spaces of the vessel, about Is
to 20 per cent of the cargo space must
be packed with additional numbers of
these buoyant boxes. Mr.. DOnnelly
personally will supervise this final
phase of the safety equipment.
The Lucia, 9OOO-tOn vessel, for
merly belonging to Austria, was requi-
sitioned for the purpose, and expert
ments were begun. Only recently,
after about four months of test and
trials, the new equipment was COM
pleted.
Although no actual tests of the safe
ty Of the Lucia from tOrpedoes has
been made, the mathematical calcula-
tons from small scale experiments,
says Mr.. DOnnelly, are considered suf-
ficient proof that even with hole
forty feet long blown in her side she
would remain safely atlOat supported
by the hOneycOmb of cells.

to bend over q desk. Real health I

health means degree Of stirring, nerv.

ceptional mental activity. 1t is the
basis of all those qualities which are
most essential In the struggle for sue

1t Is not sufficient to have health
that will enable you to do common

in Physical Culture. The right kind
of health should give you the energy
with which to perform far more than

Successful men invariably enjoy the
