Whenever group of girls are together
nowadays there is one question which is al
ways on the girls lips, and that has refer
ence as to whether or not her .'Sammie'- is
going to fall in love with French maiden.
One of the boys formerly in the auditor of
disbursements department has written
home giving his views on the subject. The
letter Is quoted: "If any one ever tells you
the 'Sammies' are falling for. these French
dames-don't swallow it-'cause can you
imagine man spouting forth love tale to
a buxOm dame with over red cheeks and
wooden shoes-and teeth that don't know
the taste of tooth paste-nor the feel of
brush. OF course there are some that have
real class, but even then you soon get dis
couraged, for when you start talking to her
she says something that sounds like mo-
come papa Well. about that time you
spout out. Here. don't call the old man I
want to talk to you. Then after one
French kiss. never again: I always did OBJ

thrown in: only once am I guilty."

Who is doing her part in this busy

and does all her work at home in the

say she sometimes washes her win

HUNS STRIP T0RPED0ES
TO SAVE MATERIALS S
Explosive Power Gained at Expense
Of Accuracy, Range and
Mems Safety.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
AN IRISH PORT, August 4.-The
Germans in their extremity to make
their raw materials for munitions go
as far as possible have stripped their
torpedoes until they are bare as
skeletons compared to the former ef-
fcient mecharisms.
1t seems that the idea Of the Ger
mans is to gain the highest possible
explosive power and to eliminate the
delicate and expensive propelling and
steering apparatus. This has been
done at the cost of accuracy and range
of fire and at the same time enhances
the danger to the U-boats by forcing
them much closer to their target than
would be necessary IL the older types
of torpedoes were used But it has
resulted in a great saving of copper
and brass and doubtless has facilitat-
ed quantity production
Under normal conditions a torpedo
should be effective at 1000 yards or
more, but the Germans now seldom
fire more than SOC yards, and when
they believe they are comparatively
safe they approach much nearer than
that to their intended victim At close
range the stripped torpedo Is practi-
cally as effective as the more complete
types, but the fact remains that the
Germans have forced their submarine
commanders to pay in danger for
what they have saved by producing
an inferior torpedo.
