DEPTH BOMBS
 PROVE MENACE
 TO SUBMARINES
An Account Is Given of How Vessels Operate and Fire the Terrible
 Weapons.

ON BOARD AN AMERICAN DE- STROYER, Nov. 12.-An American destroyer with her depth bombs ready to be discharged is indeed a careful craft to monkey with. She is menace not only to the enemy but to any other craft with which sine might collide in the darkness, running without lights, and to her self as well. It one of her dpeth bombs loaded with it's heavy charge of TINT should be accidentally ex- ploded there would be little left of the destroyer.
 The deadly depth charge which is proving to be the conclusive answer to the submarine menace now is be- ing released from every quarter of the destroyer Two of these big cylinders of high explosives can be dropped from the bridge by the pressure of button. Amidships Thornycroft throwers drop a charge from either side of the de- stroyer forming a barrage.
 "Y-guns" are stationed amidship with two barrels, each of which throws a depth charge one to port and the other to starboard. Finally astern there are two long lines of depth charges running on miniature railway tracks, ready to be dropped over the stern.
 With all these depth bomb charges ready to be let loose for ward, after and amidships and com plete enveloping barrage can be put in operation at any time. With the destroyers completely enveloping the transports the water barrage ex- tends it's protecting sweep entirely around the fleet
 Great care is taken against any collisions in the darkness which would release the depth charges While the shock of a collision would not cause an explosion the depth charge might destroy it's own ship by exploding when it reached the depth fixed by the fuse. Such an explosion has actually occurred in one case doing considerable damage but causing no fatalities This in- cident has given warning of the extreme care needed to guard against night collisions when the fleet is going through the darkness with all lights out

FARMERS OF MORTON
COUNTY NOT ALARMED
J. T. Nelson of Glen UIIin, Says
Seed Situation Not So Serious
As That of 1910.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 21.-'T do
not know of a farmer in my district
who hasn't sufficient seed for his
own needs or the wherewithal to OBJ
tain seed" said J. T. Nelson of Glen
Ullin, district federal fuel administra-
tor, during visit to the capital this
morning.
In 1910 the situation in Morton
county was about as bad as it could
be-much worse than it is now. We
got together and discovered what
would be needed; laid the situation
before the county commission, and
obtained enough seed warrants 20
take care of every one. And that
year we had bumper crop and in
the fall paid back every penny we
had borrowed.
"A statement Of the banks of Glen
Ullin made a few days ago shows
that we have on deposit from two to
three times as much as we had in
1910. I don't know of a merchant IN
my town or IN our section Of the
country who isn't two or three times
as we'll off as he was in 1910, and
Just so much more able to carry his
patrons until the harvest is over.
II know that we haven't a man on
our books whom We can't carry un-
til he gets his crop in next fall, and
l think 1 can speak for a majority Of
my competitors"

Will ELIMINATE
MENTALLY UNFIT
BY PSYCHOLOGY
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Jan. 21.-Application
Of the new psychological test of all
enlisted men and newly appointed
officers of the army, has been order
ed by the war department to aid in
the task of wedding out the mentally
unfit and classifying officers and
men for special service or promo
ton. It was announced today that
the chief Of staff had approved the
recommendation of the plan by
Surgeon General Gorgas, and that it
would be carried out at once.
Special buildings will be provided
at each of the thirty-One divisional
training camps for the psychological
experts. A total personnel from the
medical department of q majors, 81
captains and 81 first lieutenants, 81
sergeants, 81 corporals and $40 en-
listed men, will be necessary to man
the divisional stations and provide a
staff in the surgeon generals office.
a A military psychological school will
be established at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga, where so psychologists will be
entered monthly for the minimum Of
two months special training.
This plan is the outgrowth Of
psychological examinations conduct
ed at Camp Lee and Devens, where
$4,000 men and 5000 officers were
subjected to tests devised by Major
Yerkes, of the medical corps to
determine their military suitabili-
ty.
Major Yerkes describes the pur-
pose of the tests worked as being to
aid in the eliminating of mentally
incompetent soldiers, to classify men
according to their mental capacity
and to aid in the selection Of men for
responsible posts. He says reports
to his office indicate that the re-
suits have been achieved, justifying
the extension Of the examination to
the entire army.

Amsterdam, Jan. 21.-I do not
know the Americans, nor do know
what they are capable of doing in
this war" said General Won Stein,
Prussian minister of war, in an in
terview in a recent issue Of The
Budapest Hierlap. The general is
quoted, however, as declaring that
the central powers were well pre-
pared for meeting America.
The war minister said he did not
regard air fighting as a decisive fac
tor. He had heard Of extensive
American plans in this connection.
But" he said, much depends on
what American engineers can do,
and still more depends upon whether
efficient, experienced crews can be

The recent events in Russia,
which have removed from the thea
ter of active operations over 900
miles of front in the east, the inva-
sion of Italy and the consequent
shortening of the battle line in this
zone by nearly $50 miles have re-

Reviewing the minor operations
which took place during the period
under examination it is noticeable
that ascendant initiative and alert

I'VE find the British and French

Along the British front the
