ALLIED SUBS PERILED
Were Constantly Harried by Their
Own Warships.
British Submarine Nearly Destroyed
by American Vessels While
Being Tested.

London.-One of the greatest perils
to allied submarines during the war
was attack by friendly destroyers. A
submarine was assumed to be an enc
my when sighted by the ships Of any
allied nation and it was up to the sub
marine to show recognition signals if
she was not German.
But if it was destroyer that sight
ed the submarine she was always max
ing for the little craft by the time the
recognition signals could be shown. A
slight hitch in getting up a flag or fir
ing rocket would mean the subma-
,rine would be forced to seek safety
beneath the surface.
Probably the last attack of this sort
was made by American destroyers on
q new British submarine of large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system, and
the underwater vessel submerged as
depth charges began to tear up the
water. One charge shook her until
the crew thought she was doomed.
The submarine was constructed to
dive 800 feet, but that was forgotten
as charge after charge exploded near.
by. Finally she struck bottom at 300
feet and it was found she was not
badly damaged. She was kept ON the
bottom until her commander was GER
tain the destroyers had gone. Then
she was cautiously brought to the sur
face.
''She don't need any more testing
after that experience" the comman-
der reported to the officer in charge of
the submarine base.

London March 27.-There are one
and half million women in t his
country who will never havev the
chance Of getting married, Is the
statement of Miss Norah March. edi-
tor Of National Health. In 1917 there
was a surplus of 100000 marriage
able women over marriageable men,
and since then there have been the
war casualties of 1918.
Miss March says that emigration
will remove few Of these surplus
women while economic independence
will prevent women from marrying
men for the sake of home.
MANY men and women In this age
OF modern advancement says Miss
March, "are getting different views
from those held in the past, and re-
gard women's right to motherhood as
a supreme individual prerogative.

ana mold mortgage for the unpaid
balance, charging interest thereon at
the customary commercial rate Of five
per cent. One-fifth Of this interest
representing the difference between
the customary Government interest Of
Tour per cent and the customary com.
mercial rate, should be paid into a
Merchant Development Fund to be
described hereafter.
The purchaser should be required
to agree to insure and keep insured

SUFFICIENT resources to underwrite all
the vessels the Government has to

its own fund, as at present, but for
purchasers account, hull and ma
chinery insurance covering that part
OF the vessel for which payment has
not been made. Our experience in
operation shows that the Government
can carry this insurance for at least
one per cent less than the open mar
ket rate. However, it is proposed
that the open market rate be charged,
and that the difference be paid into
the Merchant Marine Development
Fund.
1t is understood that no transfer Of

permitted without express permission
of the Government.
Each purchaser who wishes to on

no stock can be issued or transferred
to an alien.
1t should also provide that one

Douglas, Alaska, June 2 (by mail)
What would the old pioneers of
this land of gold say if they saw a
friend coming in from a trip TO the
mines with poke of dust, walking up
to bar, ordering an ice cream soda
and paying for it with two nickels and
a rusted penny" Douglas "sour-
doughs" asked when news reached
here that pennies would be put into
circulation in Alaska to enable resi-
dents to pay the governments tax on
so-called luxuries.
Lowly copper pennies, which have
long been curiosities in Alaska, where
they were never even given the name
or dignity of chicken feed" are
slowly being brought into use in the
northern territory, much to the dis
gust of the "old timers" Time was,
the "sourdoughsD say, when the 20
cent of "two-bit" piece was the small
est coin used in all Alaska. At this
day in the interior of the territory
dimes and nickels are seldom seen.
Always, Of course, pennies have
been accepted by the postoffices for
stamps. Keepers of road houses and
business places in town and cities
would look twice at man, however
who would offer them pennies in bar
ter.
