UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Many questions are left about sub
marines after the article we had on
the subject yesterday. We took the
story only up to the outbreak OF the
World War.
In that war, Great Britain had
the best navy and was able to block
ade the North Sea coast of Ger
many. The German rulers decided
to use submarines as "the answer"
They sent submarines to points
around the British Isles, and ordered
the captains to fire torpedoes into
merchant vessels bound for Great
ABritains shores.
For time the German sub
marines usually followed the rules
of war, giving warning to merchant
vessels before they were sunk. Then
came a change. Torpedoes were
set loose without warning of any
kind. Thousands of passengers
men, women and children-were
drowned when vessels were sunk.
One early victim of German sub
marines was a large British liner,
the Lusitania. On a May day in
1915, the Lusitania was sent to the
bottom, with the loss Of 1,198 lives.
Among the passengers were many

A Little Saturday Talk

Americans, including the we'll
known writer, Ebert Hubbard.
In later months several Ameri-
can merchant vessels were sunk by
German submarines. This did
great deal to bring the United States
into the war against Germany.
The submarine warfare DESTROYED
2098 British merchant vessels. This
figure does not count several hun
dred British fishing vessels which
were sunk. Norway and other neu-
trail countries lost more than a
thousand ships If we add the
losses of France, the United States
and other nations in the war against
Germany, the loss goes to S 5,408 ships
in four years and four months of
war.
That was a terrible toll, but it
did not give victory to Germany.
Several thousand new ships-almost
enough to match the losses-were
launched by the allies during the
war.
The submarines were hunted
down, and 203 of them were de-
stroyed. In the closing months Of
the war submarines did not do much
damage.

The torpedoing of the Athena"
early the past September, marked
the outbreak of new submarine war
fare. Germany later denied having
done the deed, but the stories of
passengers made it seem certain
that the ship was struck by a tor
pedo. Some passengers stated that
the submarine later fired shells at
the Athena"
Since then, submarines have sunk
dozens Of vessels, including some
OF Norway, Sweden and Denmark,
but British war vessels have sent
quite a number of submarines to
the bottom.

East's face was very red indeed,
for he had committed about the
worst bridge sin imaginable -
namely, to open the bidding fourth
hand only to have his opponents bid
and make doubled slam. And yet
. the bidding was quite logical except
that, having gone so far, we believe
East should have played safe and
incurred a small sacrifice at six
diamonds rather than allow his op-
ponents to play their six-club con-
tract, which could not be beaten as
the cards were distributed.

GENEVA, Jan. II. tUP)-Juilo
Alvarez del Vayo, foreign minister
of Loyalist Spain. was reported to-
day to have informed league OF
nations delegates that his govern
ment could not hold out much
longer unless it received immediate
aid.
In private conversations, and not
before the l04th session of the
league council, he was said to have
minced no words in describing the
Loyalists' plight. He urged that
the European democracies sell the
Loyalists artillery and airplanes in
the same quantities as the Nation
alists are getting them from Ger
many and Italy.
Publicly. he thanked the delegates
for their humanitarian assistance
in sending food to the starving
population of his country.

Reviews Policy
Continued from Page u

through w. E. Walters of the Pro-
duction Credit association. HOW
ever. Walters had enough business
of his own to take care OF and the
number of commissioner loans in
the valley has steadily Increased
until we felt we needed our own
office here
The new office is located at 680
Main street. r. D. Hoy is in charge
and will handle the present COM
missioner loans. negotiate new ones
and manage real estate that has
come into the banks ownership.
Unable to give exact figures,
Webster said that business in COM
missioner loans had shown a steady
advance, with some closed every
month. At present there are 370
commissioner loans with 226,OOO
outstanding. This is in contrast to
the 20 federal land bank loans
involving only $4,000 outstanding
which Hoy also will service. The
land bank loans date from before
1918 when the valley was closed
to further advances from this
source.
Under the new office, policy will
remain exactly the same on COM
missioner loans. Webster asserted.
The commissioner loan system was
begun in 1893 as part of the Emer-
gency Act of that year by which
a U, S. commissioner in Washing
ton. D. c., was empowered to grant
loans on land up to $500 for an
individual Payment was usually
over a 20 year period and interest
at 5 per cent although the interest
rate has since been altered down.
ward. In handling these loans, the
federal land bank acts merely as
agent The money is direct gov
ernment funds.
Entirely different are the federal
land bank loans, which call for a
maximum of $4,000 for an indi-
vidual and are made with land
bank funds. The bank itself issues
bonds and with these funds makes
loans at an interest rate of one
per cent above the interest rate
charged on the bonds.

Jury Is Debating Fate
Of Man Accused
OF Bakers Murder
SeIf-Defense, Accidental
Shot Are Buses Of
Defendants Case

A District Court jury this after
noon was considering the case of
22-year -old William F. johnson, COL
ored. charged with first-degree mur-
der for the fatal shooting of George
Scandals, 40. bakery foreman. at 478
L street S.W., on December 10 last.
The case was heard before Justice
James M. Proctor and jury COM
posed entirely of men, who got the
case at 12:45 pm.
Prosecuting was Assistant United
States Attorney Arthur j. McLaugh-
lin, while the accused was repre-
sented by Attorneys J. Frank
O'Brien and John Edward Chad
wick.
Testimony showed that johnson
had been discharged as baker.s
helper by Mr.. Scandals. who died
later at Providence Hospital after
having been shot twice, once in the
abdomen and again in the chest.
The defense contends that the first
shot was fired in self-defense when
Mr.. Scandals came toward the
young colored man, and that the
second time the gun went off acci-
dentally.
Defense counsel emphasized the
fact that the accused never had any
police record, was without criminal
tendencies, that he has good repu-
tation. that he had a fear of Mr..
Scandals, was afraid of the man
when he came toward him threaten
ingly, that johnson had the gun
when he left home that morning
and that if he had murder in his
heart, as the Government contended,
he would have shot when he entered
the bakery. and that witnesses

Model Testing Plant
May Be Ready in May

E, the Associated Press.
The Navy expects to complete late
in May its s3.50O,oOO model testing
plant. which will determine in ad-
vance how new warships and mer-
chant vessels will perform.
Officials said today that buildings
at nearby Carderock, Md, probably
would be ready two months earlier
than contemplated. Installation of
all equipment will take two years.
In the Nays present plant here
wooden ship models 20 feet long
are towed or propelled in indoor
canals while instruments determine
such vital factors as hull lines, cor
rect propeller design. turning and
maneuvering qualities and sea-
worthiness.
The new plant will permit use of
