Army reconnaissance squadrons carry
cameras and take photographs at many
different points. One of these squadrons
will often hy several hundred miles into
enemy territory in order TO gam desired
information. Instead Of writing down
single items as in Corps work, the OBJ
servers report the general impression
gained from the entire trip. The reason
for this is that there arc sure to be many
movements which. are not important,
when large territory is covered Army
reconnaissance observers study enemy
airdromcs, make note of the number
of hangers and planes on the ground and
watch the movements in towns and large
encampmcnts. Rivers and canals are
also looked for. particularly If there are
any ships on them The size and type
of boat must be reported; also TO which

WEATHER THICK AND
NIGHT DARK TIME ATTACK

Dover. Feb. 16.-The weather was
thick and the night was very dark
when the German destroyers dashed
upon British patrol vessels in the
strait of Dover early Friday morn
ing and sank eight of them. The
patrol vessels. being equipped o'.i'
with light Armament for antisubma~
rine work did not have a chance onc-
the Germans got among them.
The risk thus taken is shared by
great numbers OF trawlers and drift
ers. operating in all weather and at all
hours. Yet the proportion of losses
has been practically small.
On the latest occasion the crews
bore themselves with the same cool
ness and courage that drifter men
have shown in innumerable instances
In one noteworthy instance, one
trawIer was shelled at close quarters
by two German destroyers whose
thirty pound shells killed all of the
crew except two md set the drafter
afire. The two survivors. seeing their
craft ablaze and believing it would
sink launched a boat. They had not
rowed far when they saw the vessel
was still afloat and the enemy retiring.
They returned, put out the fire ana
brought the drifter to port.

London, Feb 16.-An enemy sub

morning, II is officially announced
The submarine was fired on from the
shore and ceased the bombardment
after some thirty rounds had been
fired There were less than dozen
casualties.
The official statement reads:
"'Fire was opened upon Dover by
an enemy submarine about IL: 10

tinuing three or four minutes. The
short batteries replied and the enemy
ceased fire after 6ischarging about
thirty rounds.
The casualties were: killed, one
child; injured three men, two women
and three children. Slight damage wao
caused house property"
Cases have not been infrequent cf
German submarines bobping up off
the coast and shelling shore points.
Yarmouth, for instance was thus
bomba rdcd on January IA. 1t is not
often, however, that the u boats have
cared TO take chances with such weil

important port in Southeastern Eng
