BOYS AT CAMP
DEvENS LEAVE
IN The SPRING

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, Jan. -
Tins Seventy-sixth Division will
probably not be a fighting unit but a
hlllng division, according to semi-of-
fetal opinions of officers given re-
Gently, following announcecent of a
sweeping reorganization to take place
Monday. Although said to be the
largest national army division in this
country, not even the last Is per cent,
of the first draft will bring the total
here to war strength. In an attempt
to do this in the fighting units, how
ever, Mondays reorganization will
transfer 1850 men from the Depot
Brigade to various regiments, batal-
ions and companies, stripping the
Depot Brigade regiments down to a
total of sixty-fve men to a company,
All hope of this division being
among the first of the national army
contingents to start for France seems
to have gone. No other division has
had so many men transferred for
special aervice abroad and at other
camps IN this country, for engineer
ing, construction, munitions and in
dustrial work Of other kinds. It is
estimated that now, from 10000 to
$4,000 of the selectives first sent here
for training are in France or in other
companies. Only yesterday an Of
f1cer said he never saw a division
weed" down. SO quickly with trans
fers, discharges and reflections stead
lily dribbling the men out AS soon
as a regiment is trained and in work
ing order, its ranks are depleted, he
said, and this is true of this whole
division. The fact that the men of
this camp are specialists in various
lines of work, however, although it
makes this division a sort Of national
depot brigade, may be taken as a COM
pliment to New England and Yankee
brains.
All expectation Of a spring depart
ure has been dissipated by yester-
days announcement, and officers seem
to believe that this division will re-
main here through the second draft,
with units departing from time to
time. Meanwhile, the officers and
men retained in the Depot Brigade
will probably start intensive training,
with fitting the men to act as nom
commissioned officers for the second
draft in view. The 3o3rd Machine
Gun Battalion will get eighty-fve
men through Mondays reorganization.
the 3O1st will get fffty-hve men and
the other Connecticut unit, the 3o4th
Infantry, which has probably been
hardest hit by transfers and industrial
discharges, will draw 2oS men.
One hundred and three Connecticut
men in the 504th Infantry were SEN
fenced yesterday for taking leave at
Christmas time, their sentences being
the lightest given in the cantonment,
mainly because Colonel Heron and
Northumberland Sinclair investigat-
ed each case thoroughly and in per
son, getting behind the facts of each
Christmas call.

New York, Jan. 12-Opening:
Stocks tended downward again az Che
opening of today's session, with a
continuance of pressure against
United States Steel and other active
industrials and equipments, including
the motor group and oils. Railroads
were comparatively neglected, except
Union Pacific and some Of the promi-
nent coal issues, which yielded large
fractions to a point Pronounced
strength was shown by the shipping
group. Marine preferred gaining
three points.
Close-Important stocks recorded
lowest prices of the week in the course
of the session The reversal was at
tributed to the announcement that the
government would ask congress to
regulate all issues Of securities Steels,
equipments and numerous specialties
yielded one to four points, railroads
reacting an average of T. Shippings
alone showed substantial buying,
Marine preferred making an extreme
advance of four points Losses were
partly retrieved in the later dealings.

The fremen stayed below. Great
praise is due the armed guard for the
manner in which they performed their

Washington, Jan 12-How the naval
gun crew of the American steamer j
L. Luckenbach successfully fought of
for four hours the attacks of a Ger
man submarine until a DESTROYER rae
ing to the steamers rescue, forced the
U-ooat to submerge, as told in detail
today in an official account by the
navy department
The engagement took place on Oc-
tober 10, while the vessel was en-
route to French port The sub
marine subjected the merchant craft
to heavy shell fire that injured
seven men. started a small blaze
aboard, and temporarily put the en-
gines out Of commission.
Don't surrender" flashed the COM
mander of the American destroyer
that caught the Luckenbach's distress
call. Never" was the laconic re-
ply.
All members of the armed guard
have been commended by the navy
department for gallantry in action
and the commander has been given
the temporary warrant of boatswain
in recognition of his services.
The official account follows:
AT 1880 a m. the after lookout on
the Luckenbach reported a steamer
abeam. The commander of the
armed guard sighted her himself
about one point forward of the port
beam On looking at the steamer,
which appeared very suspicious,
through the glasses, a sail appeared
on her. Both guns were trained on
the steamer, The armed guard COM
mander then went aloft to obtain a
better view. When he was half way
up the supposed steamer turned out to
be a submarine and opened fire. The
time was then about 1880.
"The Luckenbach Immediately
opened fire with both guns The first
two or three shots fired by the sub
marine fell about 1000 yards short.
She was firing at long range. The
Luckenbach's shots also fell short. AS
the submarine appeared to be closing
in, the captain was told to put the
stern of the Luckenbach to her, which
he did. Distress signals were sent out
by wireless.
Inc submarine closed in to about
1000 yards. Early in the battle one
shot from the submarine landed on
the deck forward on the port side and
exploded in the gun crews quarters,
starting fire which was kept under
control.
1.-THE captain of the Luckenbach
said: Too late. Look for boats
Don't surrender came back the mes
sage, and the Luckenbach replied,
Never
~At about II a. m. smoke was sight

All clocks in the United States

Sunday morning. October 81, and then
again take up the procession of the
hours.
b The country will then be back upon
a sun-time basis and finished with its
first seven months of daylight saving
experiment Some minor difficulty in
transportation and industry will be in
volved In this return to normal time,
but for most people, the change will
mean nothing more than an extra
hour OF sleep on Sunday morning, a
belated return of the hour they lost in
March when clock hands were jumped
forward sixty minutes by act of Con-
gress.
Practically, clock hands are set for
ward with less trouble than they are
set hack, due to the mechanical ar
rangement of their interiors. The av-
erage householder does not need to
be warned but 1t may be well to un-
derstand that the best plan will be to
stop the clock Saturday night, and
start 1t right again Sunday morning.
The telegraph clocks-of which there
are $4,000 now in operation by the
Western Union Company electrically
wound and set-will have to be prop
erly adjusted by the company's force,
which is now planning to do the work
on Sunday. except in locations where
the users are awake at night them
selves. and can be given special keys
with which to do the setting. The
delicate master clocks which correct
the $4,000 every hour will be changed
at the same time, as will be the gov
ernment's radio and wire-signaling
