How Depth Bomb Started
in Anti Submarine Wafare

New York.-How the submarine
depth bomb, Familiarity referred to as
lash can" came into being to revolu-
tionize antisubmarine warfare was re-
lated here by Rear Admiral William s.
Sims, commander during the war OF
the American naval forces overseas.
Rear Admiral Sir Charles Edward
Madden, chief Of staff to Admiral Jel-
licoe, was the author of the idea, Adj
miral Sims said, giving as his authority
Admiral Jellicoe.
The idea came to Admiral Madden,
he continued, while the British officer
was aboard a cruiser which sighted a
submarine. The cruiser gave chase, he
said, but as it drew near the submarine
submerged. Admiral Madden, cha
grinned at the cruisers failure to get
the submarine, exclaimed:
"Why wouldn't 1t be a good idea TO
work up some sort Of q device to
drop on these HunsT"
Other officers approving the plan, the
cruiser put back to port, where h
idea was presented to Admiral Jellicoe.
He approved the plan. and munition
experts were put to work devising the
fash can"
The depth bombs evolved contained
300 pounds of trinitrotoluol and were
capable Of wrecking a submarine.

WASHINGTON, May 15:-How TO
give material aid to immigrants as a
means of showing them that 1t is to
their advantage to become citizens of
their new country was taken up today
by the Americanization Conference Of
the Interior Department. A plea for
teaching the children of foreign par
ents to respect their ancestral babita-
tons was made by Burdette G.. Lewis,
New Jersey Commissioner of Institu-
tions and Agencies.
italian children are taught our
so-called American music" he saidy
but we do not give sufficient atten-
ton to italian music which would, il
utilized, make the Italian child proud
of his birthright and understand
where American music and modern
art fit into the scheme of things. The
same condition obtains in the teach
ing of Jewish children Greek myths
instead of stories of the Hebrew
prophets and the failure to point to
children of Irish extraction the
beauty, the charm and the signif-
canoe of Celtic literature.
w should welcome boys gangs
and function them for the purposes
of Americanization. We should utilize
the girls who form peculiar cliques
to bring home to their parents the
benefit provided at the child welfare
stations in our cities"
