Hiring and Firing Cost.
From the Literary Digest.

Every man replaced IN an industrial
plant costs the management from $40 to

we reflect that the turnover" in our fac
tories runs from SO to 40, per cent. and
that the railways of The United States
hire annually nearly 1.o00.oa more men
than they have places to fill. this fact
assumes Importance. According to a
writer in Engineering and Contracting.
the labor turnover costs the railroads
alone over 100000 yearly. 1t is not
that employers are beginning
to study the phenomenon OF hiring and

the office of the surgeon general sums
sup the technical military knowledge
which an army surgeon must have to

AS soon as the battalion or regimen

material the bulletin says. "he should
rapidly gain AN intimate knowledge of
the first line trenches. dugouts, listen
ing posts, evacuation trenches and
means of transportation to the rear.
This knowledge should be gained on
the day of arrival if possible. because
enemy surprise attacks are frequently
coincident with the arrival of troops in
Il new sector. 1t SHOULD be acquired
through day and night inspections in
order that he may be able to describe
the topography of he terrain to his
personnel. The latter should also be-
given AN early opportunity of famil-
iariZing themselves with the system of
trenches and evacuation routes, SO that
when called upon to pick up wounded
at least one man OF each squad is ia
miliar with the general contour and
direction of the trenches.
The surgeon should also %acuuaint
himself, through his commanding of
ficer, with the location of the enemy
trenches, batteries, trench mortars and
mitrailleuse r%cdoubts, together with
the habits of the enemy i'm that par
ticular sector. by habits is meant the
routine firing of the day or night dur

open spaces, cross roads, gulleys. etc,
are regularly under fire at certain
hours OF the day or night and the san

OF NO MILITARY VALUE
German Diver Wastes AmmunI-
ton Smelling Barges.
Hope of Shaking Morale of American
Nation May Be Object of
Attack,

Amsterdam, July 23.-The German
submarine raider which appeared off
the Massachusetts coast, in contrast
to the tactic adopted by the U-boats
which last raided American waters,
shelled vessels without giving the
crew. a chance to seek safety in
small boats.
This fact was accepted in some
quarters as indicating that the Ger
mans were undertaking to bring their
campaign of "frightfulness' directly
home to America in the hope of shak-
ing the morale of the nation. That
this attempt would have no more sue
cess than the raid of last May and
June was the firm conviction of off,
cial Washington.
Officials plainly were surprised that
the submersibles should have attacked
a tug and barges, as these vessels were
without military value and the none
tary loss was small. Some accepted
this waste of ammunition as bearing
out the theory of a "frightfulness'
campaign, for upon no other ground,
they said, could the submarine com.
mander justify such an expensive at.
tack.
Temperance of submarines in
American waters at this time was not
unexpected after the finding of for.
eign made mines off the Long Island
coast last week. The presence of the
sea raider was not accepted by naval
officials as proof that it was a torpedo
that sank the armored cruiser San
Diego off Fire Island, New York, last
Friday, with a possible loss of 81
lives.

German Diver Also Sinks Three
Barges and Sets Fire to
Fourth and Tug.

bers of Barge Crew Injured.

Orleans, Mass, July ga barge
tow off the easternmost point of Cape
Cod was attacked by a German sub.
marine, three of the barges sunk, a
fourth and the tug set on fire and
four shells dropped on the mainland.
The action lasted an hour and was
unchallenged, except for two hydro.
airplanes from the Chatham aviation
station, which circled over the U-boat,
causing her to submerge for only a
moment. Then the submarine reap.
peared and resumed firing.
The crews OF the tow, numbering
Al and including three and five
children, escaped amid the shell fire
in lifeboats. Several were wounded,
but only one seriously. This happened
to be John Botovich, an Austrian, of
the crew of the tug. His right arm
near the shoulder was torn away by
a fragment of shell. The minor in
juries of the others were from shell
splinters.
Thousands See Encounter.
The barges were in tow of the tug
Perth Amboy, owned by the Lehigh
Valley railroad, and were bound from
Gloucester for New York. One was
loaded with stone, but the others were
light, being on their return trip after
bringing coal to New England. The
attack was without warning and only
the poor craftsmanship of the German
gunners permitted the escape of the
crews.
The one-sided fight took place three
miles south of the Orleans coast guard
station, which is located midway be-
tween Chatham, at Elbow, and High.
land Light, at the extreme tip of the
cape.
The firing was heard for miles and
brought thousands to the beach, from
which the flashes Of the guns and the
outline Of the U-boat were plainly WIS.,
ible. Possible danger to the onlook-
ers was not thought of until a shell
whizzed over their heads and splashed
In a pond a mile inland. Three other
shells buried themselves in the sands
Of the beach.
Survivors Lost Their Clothes.
The survivors of the tow, with the
exception of two injured, were taken
to the Orleans coast guard station,
communication with which by tele.
phone was not permitted under navy
regulations. No information could be
obtained from official sources on the
cape.
Botovich and another man from one
of the barges, both Of whose arms had
been injured, were removed to the pri.
vate hospital Of DR.. James McHugh.
Later Botovich was taken to a hospital
In Boston.
The survivors lost all their personal
effects and some Of them who were
having their turn in their hunks when
the U-boat appeared came ashore in
their night clothing.

Motor Trucks Now Ply
From Portland To Salem

The latest thing now in freight ser
vice is to receive it by motor truck
and have it delivered at your door.
A new motor truck service has been
established between Portland and Sa-
lem and will be in charge of Clyde Nell
son one of the incorporators of the
Highways Rapid Transit company. The
first truck of freight arrived in the
city last evening and carried capac-
ity load.
Headquarters will be established in
Salem on Commercial street possibly at
the office of the Mutual Creamery.
For time one truck will arrive in the
evening and one leave in the morning
for Portland.
The problem at the beginning of the
service is to secure freight from Salem
to Portland but it is believed that as
soon as it is fully known that the SER
vice is established on a regular sched-
ule, that merchants here will appreci.
ate the advantage Of having service
that will not only call for but will de.
liver the freight.
