WHY BRUNSWICK TONE REPRO
DUCTTON is BEST.

The Brunswick "Ultona" ~all-record
reproducer and the new atwood tone
amplifier, two improvements in pho
nographs pronounced by many the
greatest in years-are responsible
for the wonderful tone OF the Bruins
wick. Both of these improved fea-
lures be had in the Brunswick
only, and both are integral parts of
the instrument-not attachments in
any sense.
The Brunswick "Ultona" reproduc-
er plays all records at their best.
Just a turn Of the hand adapts it to
any make of record. assuring the
proper position ON the record, the
precise weight, and the required
point-diamond, sapphire, steel, etc.
The "Ultona" Is the only reproducer
that fulfills the requirements, which
are necessary to properly play all
makes of records on any one ma

FIRST BAPTIST U

The annual business meeting of
the First Baptist church, after being
postponed a month, was held last
evening with a good attendance. Re-
ports from all officers and commit

In splendid condition at the present
time. In common with all other
churches, this church has suffered a
great loss because of the quarantine.
The enrolment In the Sunday school
has been almost doubled during the

counts for a lowering Of the percent

The result, as you will note instantly, is more

Shortage Of Torpedoes Is
Now Facing U-Boat Directors

Recently the German factories
hove been turning out a smaller tor
pedo which is less accurately tested
but which may be used with a far
degree of certainty at close range. OF
late very few German torpedoes have
proved effective unless at fairly close
range and it has become unusual for
U-boat commander to make any at
tempt at a merchant ship unless he
can get within 500 to 500 yards.
The Germans are now using two
types of torpedoes. They may be
described as short-charge and full
charge torpedoes. The short-charge
is the one used mostly against mer-
chant shipping and is fired at 500 to
600 yards. The full charge which
force and is better made is reserved
for menof-w war. 1t is fired at a
greater distance and is used less fire.
quently than the cheaper torpedo.
But the comparative immunity of
the American destroyers from tor
pedo attack-despite the loss of the
Jacob Jones and the slight disable
ment of the Cassin-is noteworthy in
this connection The Germans hate
the American destroyers as one of
their worst enemies in their most
fertile field of action and there is
scarcely an American destroyer but
has had one or more German tor
pedoes fired at her, yet only twice
have the torpedoes found their mark.
The Americans and the British
with whom they are cooperating so
successfully in this game of hunting
tin fish, attribute their immunity
to the mobility of the destroyer. The
alertness of the American naval men
coupled with their well known keen
ness for offensive tactics against the
submarine have been responsible for
their slipht losses. Sharp lookouts
and slillful maneuvering enable
them to cheat the Germans so often.

Base of American F1otilla in Brit
ISL Waters, Feb. 2.-Shortage of tor
pedoes is one of the most serious
facts with which the directors of the
German U-boat war are now faced
1t is a we'll known and admitted fact
that German factories are at present
absolutely unable to turn out first
class torpedoes in anywhere near suf-
ficlent quantities for the needs of the
submarines. In fact, the underwa-
ter craft are being turned out faster
than the torpedoes with the result
that recourse has been had to various
expedients to keep the submarines
supplied with their chief weapon.
Germany's fleet of Uboats must
carry thousands of torpedoes. Thou
sands more must always be ready IN
reserve. In fact the reserve supply
should be larger today than a year
ago to allow for the more frequent
calls made upols it. The augmented
destroyer patrol is responsible for
this. They have made the sub
marines use up more torpedoes and
have caused them to return to their
20 roore frequently for reloading.
Eight may be said to be the aver
age number of torpedoes carried in
one submarine The number ranges
from four to twelve, according to the
type of submarine. The U-53 which
raided shipping off the Atlantic coast
of the United States carried ten.
More recent types load as many as
twelve. Mine layers can accom-
modate two, four and SIX, depending
on their size.
In connection with this shortage is
the interesting fact that all U-boat
commanders now are strictly FRA
toned" as far as their supply of tor
pedoes is concerned and are not per-
mitted to waste tarpedoes on long
"chance shots" except under circum-
stances which they must explain in
detail as iustifwng the expenditure
of the precious underwater missiles.

government sale as were the enlisted
men.
The situation is not a new one, but
it Is new to the civilian public, and
the bill will doubtless have hearty
support, because of the injustice of
the present arrangement. 1t is true
that officers receive more pay than
enlisted men, but at the same time
their expenses are greater, and when
an overcoat can be sold to private
at cost price, there is no adequate
reason why officers should be made
to pay several times that amount.
