In a report to the board by Ed.
TOwse, who is head of special com,
mittee to follow and report on all
bankruptcy cases in the local courts,
it was shown that two eases indicated
n total disregard of ethics in ronnrc
ton with obtaining credit, and that
little or no attempt had been made by
the men to liquidatc their obligations,
although at least one was receiving Il
large monthly salary.
In one case the liabilities of the
bankrupt were scheduled at nine thou.
sand dollars, of which about IL thOus;. nj
dollars was contracted locally. The
remainder was divided up into beats

"And you only get to port long

then it is of again." continued the
lieutenant. "When you sleep it is in

other summons in between, especially
when another steaper is sighted, or

sleep beside their guns, ready to spring
'nto action aud fire at moment $
notice; also a squad of six men are al

You set the dial at any depth to 100
feet and then drop the bomb overheard.
When she hits the water the bomb
sinks quickly and the float plays out
steel chain to the depth for which the
dial is set, and when it comes to the
end of this chain trigger is sprung
and the bomb explodes.
"You are going at attack speed ;,
which is about thirty-six knots an hour,
and after you drop that bomb you want
