conductor of sound-far better than the
atmosphere itself. In the air there
are many cross currents and areas of
varying temperature, which make
sound waves frequently behave in most
puzzling fashion, sometimes travelling
in circles, sometimes moving caprici-
ousIy UP or down or even turning
sharp croners. The mariner has learn
ed how deceptive is a foghorn; when
it is blowing he knows that a ship is
somewhere in the general region, but
usually he has no definite idea where.
The water, however, is uniform in
temperature, and therefore sound in
this medium always travels in straight
lines 1t also travels more rapidly in
water than in the air. it travels far
thor and the sound waves are more
distinct.

Special Board in Washington.
Even before the United States en-
tered the war, American specialists
had started work on Their own 1n1tia-
tive. Inparticular the General Electric
company, the Western Electric COM
pany, and the Submarine Signal COM
pany had taken up the matter at their
own expense; each had a research de-
partment and an experimental station
where a large amount of preliminary
work had been done. Soon d special
board was created at Washington to
study detection devices, to which each
of these companies was invited to
send a representative; the board
eventually took up its headquarters at
New London and was assisted in this
work by some of the leading physicists
of our universities. All through the
summer and fall of 1917 these men kept
industriously at their task; to such
good purpose did they labor that, by
October of that year, several devices
had been invented with which to prom
Use satisfactorily results. In begin
ming their work, they have one great
advantages; European scientists had
already made considerable progress in
this work, and the results of their
studies were, which were at once placed
at our disposal by the Allied admir-
aIties. Moreover, these adn1iraIties
sent over several OF their experts to
cooperate with US.
Captain Lesh's Assignment.
About that time Captain Richard Fl.
Leigh. II. 8. N. who had been assigned
to command the subchaser detach-
ments abroad, was sent to Europe to
confer with the Allied adnniralties, and
to test. in actual operations against
submarines. the detection devices
which had been developed at the New
London station. Captain Leigh, who
afterward became my chief of-staff at
London, was not only one OF our
ablest officers, but he had long been
interested in detection devices, and

sOIve this problem ever since the be-
ginning of the war; British inventors
had developed several promising n.y.
drophones, but these Instruments had
not proved efficient in locating = sub
marine with sufficient accuracy to en-
able us to destroy it with depth
charges.
These disappointments quite natur-
ally created an atmosphere of skeptic-
ism which, however, did not diminish
the energy which was devoted to the
solution of this important problem
Accordingly three trawlers and n "P'
boat were assigned to Captain Leigh
and with these vessels he spent ten
days in the Channel, testing impair
TALLY both the British and American
devices.
No detailed tactics for groups of
vessels had yet been elaborated for
hunting by sound, and though the
ships used were not particularly SUI
able for the work in hand, these few
days at sea demonstrated that the
American contrivances were superior
to anything in the possession of the
Allies. They were by no means per-
feet; but the ease with which they
picked up all kinds of noises, partic-
uiarIy thoSe made by submarines, as
tonished everybody who was let into
the secret; the conviction that such a
method of tracking the hidden enemy
might ultimately be used with the de-
sired success now became more or less
general In particular the American
X tubes" and the &C tubes" proved
superior to the @Nash-fish' and the
"Shark-fin." the two devices which up
