HOW DEPTH BOMB STARTED
British Admiral Responsible for Wea.
pom That RevoIutionized Anti
d.. submarine Warfare.

New York.-How the submarine
depth bomb, Familiarity referred to as
lash can," came into being to revolu-
tionize antisubtnarine warfare was re-
lated here by Rear Admiral William 5.
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, Ad-
miral Sims said, giving as his authority
Admiral Jel1icoe.
The idea came to- Admiral Madden,
he continued, while the British officer
was aboard a cruiser which sighted q
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 it be good idea to
work up some sort Of device to
drop on these Huns?"
Other officers approving the plan, the
cruiser put back to port, where the
idea was presented to Admiral Jellicoe.
He approved the plan. and munition
experts were put 10 work devising the
FASH can"
The depth bombs evolved contained
800 pounds of trinitrotoluol and were
capable of wrecking submarine.

Air Current to Grade Coal.

An interesting method Of grading
fine coal by means of an air current
is in use at IN English colliery. The
coal is delivered to the washery by a
bucket elevator and discharged onto
shaking screens. The grading appa-
ratus is fixed Immediately over the
delivery chute Of the elevator, the
mixed coal allowed to flow over a
hinged weir plate. Immediately under
this plate is an orifice through which
a powerful current Of air Is drawn
by means of centrifugal fan. The
size of the opening is capable of ad.
justment by means of sliding plate.
The passing stream Of coal is brought
nearer to or kept farther from the
section by adjusting the hinged weir
plate, so that any desired proportion
of small coal can be drawn off. A
DETECTING plate is fitted into the re-
ceiver, which serves to throw the
larger pieces of coal to the bottom ;
the fine dust, passing with the air
through the fan, is finally collected in
cyclone separators.

Sir pouoI,. na;o's Popularity.

The prime factor in Sir Douglas
Haig's great popularity among the
British armies was undoubtedly the
interest he always showed in the boy
soldiers. During the many inspections
in France it was the invariable prac-
tice of nearly all generals Kitchener
and French included-to hurry along
the ranks until they came to the old
soldiers with the rows Of campaign
ribbons on their breasts. Sir Douglas
Haig always singled out the youngest
boys for his attention. You could see
them flush and stammer and straight
en- up with pride at being noticed by
the commander in chief. Nor did he
ever omit in these early days his spe-
cial word of thanks ito all those who
have left their benches, shops, and
offices to help us professional soldiers
to see it through

German Army Captain Risks Death

10 Signed.

Konrad Detzler, a German army en-
gineer who had been hiding in the New
Guinea jungle since the beginning of
the war, has come back to civilization
and now is in an internment camp in
Australia. Detzler's story is on a par
with other romantic incidents Of the
war as it affected the South sea.
Detzler holds captains commission.
When the war began he was surveying
the boundary line between the then
Kaiser Wilhelmland, or German New
Guinea, and Papua. or British New
Guinea. He decamped into the bush.
This was a risky act, for the bushmen
prefer human flesh above all other
kinds. When an Australian force &C.
cupied Kaiser Wilhelmland Detzler
was overlooked. ...-
For more than four years Detzler
lived in the bush near Mismis. He
had shotgun, but it was not long be-
fore he ran out of cartridges. There
after he lived on yams, taro and kau
"a variety Of sweet potato) in common
with the natives, and upon birds and
animals which he caught by means Of
sDareS.

ed for him, but Detzler managed to
elude them. He might have stayed
Indefinitely in the jungle, but mission
aries told the Papuans Of the armistice
and they in turn told him. Thereupon
he surrendered to the nearest Austria
liam officer. While living throughout
the war at Mismis, Detzler wore only
a lava lava (native kilt). The result
is that he is almost as brown as
Papuan. He now wears a German
uniform.

the Germans do not expect their neigh
b0rs to depend on volunteers, plans
are being worked out for a new con-.
scription army, serving shorter periods
and modelled more after the Swiss
than the old Prussian army. The
militia idea is popular. but is consid-
cred idealistic..
The German army Of interior de-
Tense, which probably numbers around
. hundred thousand men, OF possibly
a few thousand more, Is an expensive
proposition. Volunteers have to be
paid well to keep them from being
won over by the Spartacans, who offer
more money. Food and equipment Is
good.
The new army has q rather slack
discipline, and none Of the old Prus-
sian snap is seen when officers ap-
pear. Familiarity and almost inso-
lence are seen on every hand The
