What FOiled the U-Boats?

Within a week two explanations
United States in foiling the German
U-boat campaign have been published,
one giving the opinion Of American
naval officers, the other that held by
the Germans. Admiral SIMS. descrb-
ing the depth charges, commonly
called lash cans" said on Thursday
that these contrivances were remark
ably effective" that the explosion of
several of them was equal 10 n broad
side" that due respect for the eff
cheney OF the depth charge made the
U-boats wary" and finally:
81 believe the depth bomb was the
most effective weapon against the
submarine"
The Teutonlc authority on this sub
ject Is Captain BABrESBAcH, q pioneer
German submarine commander, who
became a specialist in the service thir-
teen years ago. He has been inter

reports him thus:
Captain BAR-ENBAcH said the
greatest enemy OF the submarine was
rot the depth bomb but the anchored
mine.
The exact figures are impossible
to give, but the Captain said about
three U-boats were sunk by anchored
mines to every one sunk by depth
bomb
Captain BARTENBACH seems TO think
that the depth bomb. unless il scored
a clean hit or exploded in close prox-
unity 10 the submarine. was not as
dangerous as Admiral SINS and his
associates in the war believe, and the
emphasis the German lays on an
chored mines is particularly interest
Ing in view of the fact that Admiral
SINS did not mention them in his
interview. This is probably explained
by the fact that the Admiral
was speaking casually and not at
tempting TO elucidate the whole sub
ject of submarine hunting. That he
and the other naval officers of the
United States and the Allies fully
recognized the value Of mines was
convlncingly demonstrated by the ex-
tensive use we made of them. 1t will
be remembered that as part of our

II the official summary Of the cove
nant of the League Of Nations, given
out in Paris Saturday afternoon, rep
resents substantially what the Re-
vised League Is to be THE Sun doesn't
like IT.. 1t is covenant that ties
America up in way she should not
be tied up. II Is in the main the same
old League of. Nations scheme Mr..
WILSON brought over with him two
months ago with the Monroe Doc
trine and the withdrawal clauses in
serted.
The Sun does not object to a sim
pie treaty with England and France
and Italy and with other nations
later on that would make for the
peace of the world, providing such
treaty did not restrict our national
independence and our inherent free
dom of action.
Left to ourselves to develop in our
own way, free from foreign entangle-
mcnts, and ready in the future as we
have been in the past to lend a hand
where a helping hand is needed, we
shall become the great stabilizing
force of the world. We are a decent
people, with fine sense of what Is
right and what is wrong and what Is
Just and what Is unjust, and we are
keenly alive to the sense Of duty and
to the sense of responsibility.
We are n big nation In our wealth,
a big nation in our natural resources
a big nation in our population and in
the character. the vision, the initia-
tive. the clear headedness and force Of
our people.
Our national wealth was very nearly
twice that of Great Britain and all
her colonies before the war. 1t was
more than six times that of France
nearly four times that of Germany,
more than six times that Of Russia,
more than twelve times that OF Aus
tria- Hungary and more than twelve
times that OF Italy. And in the meas
ure of population there were no two
nations of Europe--the biggest of
them comblned-that more than
equalled our own, Russia excepted.
These are the big nations of Eu-
rope, and there are dozens OF little
ones. comparisons between which and
America are not worth while. They
are too small and for the most part
are nations that do not think as we
think, are nations whose ideals differ
widely from our own. Why, then,
break our necks TO get Into and be-
come n part OF European diplomacy,
with its entanglements, its individual
and national ambitions and It's con.
stantly recurring national rows?
THE Sun believes that America can
he of much greater service to the
world Independent Of such association
than we can he MS part of such asso-
citation and that In our independence
we shall be happier people and n
people quite as ready to go the limit
in helping to keep the peace of the
world as we should be tied up in a
League Of Nations that would hamper
our freedom and eXasperate us.
Moreover, THE Sun believes that
we should have peace between the
enemy nations and ourselves without
any further delay. Five months
!. have been given up TO diplomatic
wrangling since the armistice was
signed and we have no peace vet. If
the Allies cannot make a Just peace
with the enemy and do 1t quickly let
America make peace with the enemy
so that the enemy peoples can get to
work, and getting TO work means the
safety of the world.

A Literary Essayist on Words Coined
by RepOrters.


DIR. Bliss PERRY of Harvard and
Boston has impaired TO members Of the
American Academy of Arts and Let
tiers, assembled In this city, his opin-
ion that the present deplorable state
Of English as no finds 1t Is due in part
to newspaper reporters who rudely
coin words when writing in somno-
lent state in the small hours of the
morning"
DR.. PERRY has been writing essays
In standard English long enough to

which are not faultlessly pretty, only
accurately descriptive, precise records
Of facts, intelligent opinions on an
operate or pugilistlc performance,
cannot be written by anybody in a
somnolent state in the small hours Of
the morning or the large hours Of the
evening. As to his indictment Of re-
porters, that they "rudely coin"
words, we will hear testimony If the
doctor will first define what he means
by "rudely" in this respect.

his wife's affection. And If her peti
ton for a divorce is granted, with
all the alimony she is asking, he is
in a fair way to lose the income

Goldie Heinz, his wife, filed a petit
ton for divorce this morning, alleg'
ing that he expelled her from their
home and has not been willing to
support her since that time.
She sets out in her petition that
his interest in the business is worth
$40, 900, and asks for $1,000 tempo
rary alimony and $1,000 permanent
alimony, with $500 attorney fees.
An attachment has been issued
against the property to secure her
claim. Up to noon he had not filed
a bond to release the attachment.
Until he does, his interest will have
to remain in the city, and since the
interests cannot be separated, the
carnival may make an extended stay
