IS Per Cent German

The allied fleets have sunk sew

who discussed at length yesterday the
possibility OF destroying the raiders
who operated on the New Jersey
coast Sunday. He said:
Eject In Germany.
TT Is impossible for any man to
accurately estimate the length and
general type of a vessel. unless he has
been given exceptional training in
such matters. For that reason. | am
not inclined to believe the report that
the submarines which sank our coast
traders were 2U0 feet in length.
However. the question of the type
of submarine sent against our coast
is of small interest compared with
the possibilities of our operating sue
cessfully against them. We have ac-
counted for at least seventy-five per
cent of the new cruiser type of Ger
man submarine. which have put to
sea in the past six months. The Ger
mans must have learned by this time
that for every foot added to the size
Of the submarine her visibility to bal
looms and aircraft is increased by
equal ratio.
Strange as it may seem, the most
dangerous submarine today is the

in the Germans plan to terrorize our
Atlantic seaboard. Undoubtedly they
believe that the spirits Of their people
must be sustained by accounts Of
U-boat successes. The reports that
U-boats were in our waters during
the past ten days may have been
merely q matter of coincidence. or 1t
may have been a part of the German
propaganda Often a defense is
weakened after a number Of false re-
ports of an offensive have been re-
peatedly Investigated by the defend
ers.
1.-THE big question now is whether
the U-boats can escape and regain
their base. II Is unnecessary to say
that our coast is now swarming with
warcraft all bent on finding a trace
Of the enemy raiders. 1t is also quite
unnecessary to emphasize the fact
that our offensive weapons are now
so well perfected. that the discovery
of a submarine means that it is
doomed. Once a chaser spots a sub
marine. it can hang ON its tanks and
easily dodge any shots directed
against 1t, at the same time summon
ing assistance from the cruisers or
destroyers.
German records show that they
have been able to make U-boat
cruisessof from $500 to nearly 1000
miles. Assuming that the raiders who
attacked Sunday were capable of q
6.000-mile cruise. it would mean that
they can spend little time in our
waters.''

VAUGHN CLASS HEARS
SPEECH FOR VICTORY

1--WE are not going to win by starv-

ton there" said Representative Tay-
lor. Of Colorado. addressing an audi
ence of 800 Vaughn class men and
their ladies at the last club meet of
the season in the Sunday school house
last evening.
The German people are going down
TO the very end under the Kaiser's
leadership, and our only hope is to
slaughter enough Germans So that
those who remain shall have learned
to respect the rights of humanity
This is a cold-blooded life and death
struggle. and the only question is
whether liberty and right are to be
preserved or we are to be a German
colony"

raine and this other French terri

Swanson Belittles
U-Boat Significance,
Says Huns Hoped to
Affect Sentiment Here

Senator Claude Swanson. ranking
majority member of the Senate Ma

the U-boat raids:
There may be a disposition to ex-
aggerate the importance of this in
cursion by the submarine, and this
is without doubt just what the Ger
mans hope to accomplish. 1t is very
evident that without a base on this
side of the Atlantic, the Germans
cannot place a very high reliance on
the prospective results of such a
movement. They may come and find
an opportunity to do great damage.
or they may arrive and find opportun-
ity only to sink a few unimportant
ships. That they can make forays
of long duration. is impossible. All
they can do is to cross the sea, re-

periences which for ME were, to say
the least, unpleasant.
I'VE left New York for Charleston
on May 20, and when two days later
we were going along at an easy pace
at about eight knots, heard a shel!
pass near the vessel. We were about
fifteen or eighteen miles south of
winterquarter lightship.
"At first 1 did not pay any atten-
tion to II because I thought it was
an American submarine at target
practice. When the third shell ex-.
ploded close by us on the weather
quarter, 1 knew that whoever it was
wanted us to stop. ! brought the
ship around and the superstructure
of the submarine and coming tower
came plainly above the water not
more than 200 yards away. 1t was
then that / first realized that it was
an enemy craft.
Flying Hun Flag.
From a small staff in the rear
she was flying a small German navy
flag. They launched a small boat
and one officer accompanied by
three other men came over to us.
Speaking perfect English the off,
Ger told us to take to our boats that
we had but ten minutes to clear our
vessel.
Bombs We're placed along the
sides of our schooner and after we
had set out for the submarine in
the small boat she was blown up.
Seven men and myself were taken
aboard the U-boat.
I'VE were kept below for several
hours, in fact. until after the sub
marine had picked up Capt. Gilmore,
of the Edna, in the afternoon. Tncn
the commander of the craft seemed
to warm up to us, thinking. no doubt,
that he had done a good DAYS work
and extended the courtesy to us two
captains IF going on deck for a
smoke. They did not permit my men
to join us then. but later they also re-
ceived their turn.
Wireless Going Continually.
During the first three days we
were going Up and down all the tinc.
at least that is the way 1t seemed 70
me. l tried to keep an account of the
number of times that We submorgei.
but gave it UP as a useless waste OF
time. The pressure Of the submarine
was a new experience for us, and we
did not enicy it very much.
Almost all the time the wireless
was running at full speed. They SEEM
ed to be exchanged messages to an
other submarine or ship or they were
keeping in constant touch with a base
along the shore.
THE operators listened to the press
bulletins from the United States and
some times the men would discuss the
news in our presence so that we gath
cred an idea of the worlds happen
ings. One of them told me about the
drive on the West front and that
torpedo plant in Austria had been
blown up. One of the engineers also
confided in me to the extent of saying
that he had been an engineer on the
steamship George Washington, of the
North German Lloyd line before the
war started"

three days, and then get back to their
bases as speedily as they can.
1T is to be expected from time TO
time these activities may be resumed.
The evident purpose of the Germans
is to create in the public mind in this
country a demand for better coast
protection so that our warships may
be brought home. 1t is quite in line
so far as purpose is concerned. with
the Zeppelin and Gotha raids on Lon
don and other English cites. In those
attacks, the purpose Is to compel the
British to maintain larger aircraft
forces at home, so as to deplete the
fcrces in France. 1t is to be expect
ed that the raids on our coasts Will
be repeated. but l do not believe they
can ever reach the proportions OF
real military menace"

Steps to Remember.

Important steps the Gamer must
remember:
Cd BE sure that the fruits are
ripe, but not too ripe-that they are
in prime condition. Vegetables should
be fresh, young and tender, as such
harbor fewer germs than stale,
bruised, or deeayed ones.
~ Kill all living organisms as
we'll as germs which might be pres
ent in the spore state on the foods
and in the containers by thorough
application of moist heat.
(3) Seal the. foods Immediately
in jars or cans, making sure that not
the slightest air hole VIII ailaw en-
trance of air laden with destructive
germs.
Read carefully the department of

tons, U. S. Department of Agrieul-
ture, Washington, d. c., will bring IT
