The grim side of the loss Of the
vessels was revealed when Mr.. Richey
stated that he was going to Cape
Hatteras. where, it is reported. sew

He believes that the bodies may be
those OF some of the crew OF the lost
fleet.

arriving here a week or 50 later, re-

from her that bad weather had been
encountered and her hatch coverings
had been blown on.

The former German submarine

received by the Navy Department.
At 1882 three planes again went
to the attack and dropped nine
bombs. One bomb hit the submarine
Just aft OF the coming tower and
the others dropped near her.
Six minutes after the bomb explod-

Naval officers here said 1t was sur
prising that the first division of planes
sank the U-1I7. as 1t had scarcely
been expected that any OF the frst
twelve bombs dropped would hit the
submerslble. They were inclined to
the opinion that a large element of
luck had entered into the scoring OF
hits.
First reports to the department did
not give the number OF bombs dropped
by the attacking squadron or the
number OF hits recorded. The squad
ron was made up of three F-5-L type
OF naval planes. each carrying four
bombs weighing 1863 pounds each.
Under the orders for the flight. the
planes could drop the bombs in any
manner selected and at any safe alti-
tude. Naval officers estimated that
400 feet would be the minimum for
safety.
Several equadrons or divisions OF
naval and marine corps planes had
been prepared for the attack. and it
had been arranged that IL the 1ss
bombs carried by them did not sink

planes assembled at langley Field

Greater Authority Exercised
BY Parents of Foreign Birth

Parenthood, its responsibilities as we'll as
it's pleasures, is very badly understood in
this country, say other critics besides Judge
Talley. A social worker of long experience
on the East Side OF New York said that she
fully agreed with all he said
Among most of the foreign peoples there
is a greater authority exercised by the
parents than with Americans. This does
not endure over a generation as a rule, and
the bad example of easygoing parents is
being followed by the second generation of
Pole and Russian and even Syrian. The
children are beginning to rule the colonies
and the old people have to submit It is a

Tells of the Good That
state" WhippingS Might Do

So strongly do some people feel the de.
fects In the body polite which they ascribe
t) relaxation of discipline in the home that
they are inclined to urge the restoration of
whipping posts and other obsolete forms of
punishment for minor delinquency AS the
State cannot compel father to do his duty
in this direction these moralists think the
State should step in on occasion and adj
minister the needed corporal punishment,
the object being to effect what ought to be
done by the parent-a respect for law and
order.
"The State pays for the free education OF
children. and this is fine" said an officer
of the Children's Court the other day in
Brooklyn. ut also pays great sums for the
reformation of young delinquents who have
taken their first step in crime. Now, IL IL
would adopt preliminary measure and
order whipping for the child on the
wrong road when his father refuses to
perform that function a good many chill
dren would be saved from that first false
step.
II suppose such an entrance of an officer
OF the State into the home would be called
paternalism, and for that reason It would
be objected to. Unhappily, the truth in
many cases Of indulgence beyond reason
able limit of children in home, coupled
with sad lack of discipline, only comes to
our notice when the consequences have gone
gone as far as crime. But even at this
stage a good sound licking might not
