 In periscopes and optical fittings the German boats were superior to pre-war American submersibles, it was admitted Periscopes on new navy submarines. however. are su- perior to the best similar fittings found on the captured vessels, it was said
 The engine equipment of the Ger man boats were praised by Ameri- can officers, but it was declared that the mechanical plants of the enemy craft were in no respect superior to these already in use in the United States Navy In many points, particularly that of mechan- teal simplicity. roominess and com fort for the crew. the American boats are regarded as superior to the German craft.

How's This, "Pedestriansw

It was an inky black night and we were riding along country road, when we saw railroad crossing ahead. We stopped about hundred feet from the tracks and peered through the brush and trees that lined the roaG. There up inc track we saw a light moving toward us. The driv- CT wished to move on, but I, being very nervous, objected loudly, so we waited at least five minutes. The light kept drawing nearer, but the driver in disgust insisted upon cross ing, saying 1t was probably a slow freight. But again I shrieked loudly, for I knew train lights were so de ceiving at night and it must be nearly upon us by now. We continued wait ing in the darkness for the train to pass, and as the light drew nearer we discovered our locomotive to be nothing more than man coming down the track with lantern.-Chi- cago Tribune.
