U.BOAT SINKINGS DECREASE.
Only Six British Ships of 1000 Tohs
Sunk Past Week.

London, April 3.-There was a
sudden marked decrease in the loss
es to British shipping through mine
or submarine in the past week. The
admiralty reports that only six Brit
ish merchantmen of 1900 tons or
over and seven under that tonnage
we're sunk in the week ending March
30th.
Five fishing vessels also were
sent TO the bottom.
The admiralty statement contln-
ues:
Fifteen British merchant vessels
were unsuccessfully attacked by sub
marines.
The large vessels sunk include
one sunk during the week ending
March 16 and the smaller vessels re-
ported sunk includes one during the
week ending March 23.
The arrivals during the week end
ing March 80 were 2,416 and the
sailings $780,
The losses to British merchantmen
through submarines and mines in the
past week are less than one-halt the
losses in the previous week, when
merchantmen were
sunk, sixteen of the vessels over l.
800 tons.
The admiralty report for the pre-
ceding week showed the loss of sew
enteen vessels, while for several
weeks prior to that the weekly loss
was eighteen.

such as ''eat 'em up," and "gee, you

ago, but until it was officially an

The action of these organs was scan
tv and weak and the secretions un-
natural and highly coloced. Nights

be thrown. This position is similar
to that of shot putting, only that the
right arm is extended downward. Then
you hurl the bomb from you with an
overhead bowling motion, the same as
in cricket, throwing it fairly high in
the air, this in order to give the fuse
a chance to burn down so that when
the bomb lands, it Immediately ex-
plodes and gives the Germans no time
to scamper out Of its range or to re-
turn it.
AS the bomb leaves your hand, the
lever, by means Of spring, is projected
into the air and falls harmlessly to
the ground few feet in front Of the
bomber.
When the lever flies off it releases
a strong spring, which forces the firing
pin into percussion cap. This ignites
the fuse, which burns down and sets
off the detonator, charged with fulmi.
nate Of mercury, which explodes the
main charge Of ammonal.
The average British soldier is not an
expert at throwing; it is new game
to him, therefore the Canadians and
Americans, who have played baseball
from the kindergarten up, take natu-
rally to bomb throwing and excel in
this-act. A six-foot English bomber
will stand in awed silence when he
sees little fve-foot-nothing Canadian
outdistance his throw by several yards.
I have read few war stories Of bomb
ing, where baseball pitchers curved
their bombs when throwing them, but
a pitcher who can do this would make
"Christy" Mathewson look like piker,
and is losing valuable time playing in
the European War bush league, when
he would be able to set the "big
league" on fire.
We had cushy time while at this
school. In fact, to US it was regular
vacation, and we were very sorry when
one morning the adjutant ordered US
to report at headquarters for trans.
portation and ratious 30 return to our
units up the line.
AFTlVlnS dt our SectlOIb tue UoyS
once again rendered us the glad mitt,
but looked askance at US out Of the
corners Of their eyes. They could not
conceive, as they expressed it, how
man could be such blinking idiot as
to join the Suicide club. I was begin
ming to feel sorry that had become
a member Of said club, and my life to
me appeared doubly precious.
Now that 1 was sure-enough
bomber I was praying for peace and
hoping that my services as such would
not be required.
