The proposed airplane route is from

HOW DEPTH BOMB STARTED
British Admiral Responsible for Wea-
pom That ReVolutionized Anti
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 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 Q
submarine. The cruiser gave chase, ne
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 a 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 to work devising the
lash can"
The depth bombs evolved contained
800 pounds of trinitrotoluol and were
capable of wrecking a submarine.

o. Henry, in his adolescence, pub

army of readers.
His real name was Sidney Porter,

was good clerk, and those who have
seen the sketches say that as an artist
he was a good story teller.
