jap Subs Out to Do What
U-Boots Failed to Do in 1918
Diversion of U. S. Navy to Petrol Duty
And Disruption of Shipping Are Aims

1918 the Germans sent six huge
cruiser type U-boats into American
waters. They planted mines at the
entrance to New York harbor. cut
communications cables to Europe
and south America, attacked coast
al shipping with gunfire and tor
pedoes and, according to naval rec
ords, sank 10000 tons Of merchant
or war craft.
Imposing as this record sounds,
the U-boats did not achieve their
objective. The World War Secre-
tary of the Navy. Josephus Daniels
set down the verdict In book some
years later.
In their chief mission Of pre-
venting transportation to Europe
the U-boats failed utterly" he
wrote. THE flow Of troops and mu-
nitions to France and England was
not for a moment interrupted. In
fact, it was precisely in this period
that it was increased and we trans
ported to Europe over SOC, 900 SOL
diers a month"
But while the bridge of ships helc
up and there was no weakening OF
the naval feet overseas. the Navy
set up an elaborate system for pro.
tecting shipping in coastal waters

boats, minesweepers and subchasers

The raiding Japanese submarines
in the Pacific are out to accomplish
what German U-boats failed to do
off the Atlantic Coast in 1918.
In both campaigns the two main
detectives are the same-diverSlon OF
naval units from combat duty with
the fleet for strictly defensive patrol
operations in home waters and the
disruption of American shipping.
Although the Japanese are not con-
sidered by naval men to be IN the
same class with the grimly efficient
U-boat veterans of World War I, and
although their submarines must oper-
ate over vastly greater distances, they
were conceded two advantages the
Germans lacked. :,
Japan is believed to have a much
larger fleet of long-range subma-
rines. with about 40 capable OF oper-
ating off the Pacific Coast, and her
raiders are not menaced close tc
their home bases by the deadly type
of anti-submarine warfare which the
Allied navies were able to wage II
the North Sea during 1917-ls18.
1t NAV have been one OF these
long-range subs which, the Army
disclosed yesterday had been blasted
into debris" of California by an
| Army bomber.
Also. Secretary of the Navy Knox
announced Sunday that at least IA
enemy submarines had been prob
ably sunk or damaged" in the At
lantic and several effectively dealt
with" in the Pacific.
The current renewal of submarine
warfare in American waters is ex
! pected to follow the general patterl
of the last conflict, and the Worl'
War experience of the Atlantic Coas
gives the Pacific Coast some idea o
what to expect.

in this country to reduce night ac-
cidents.
Although nightblindness is usual
ly the first warning of not enough
vitamin A a lack of this vitamin
affects the whole body. The outer
layer of the skin, and the cells lin
ing the mouth, respiratory tract,
the stomach and the urinary tract
are all affected. These cells be-
come dry and dead leaving the un-
der layers unprotected. Frequent
colds and other infections may re-
suit from this lack.
Many foods are rich in vitamin
A. Butter, milk, cream, eggs,
liver, green and yellow vegetables,
cod liver and other fish liver oils
are among the very best natural
sources. Vitamin A is now being
added to many margarines so that
those who cannot afford butter can
get a substitute rich in vitamin A..
In plant foods vitamin A is as
sociated with yellow color although
this may be hidden behind green
or red. The yellow color of fall
leaves illustrates how green leaves
also have yellow color. Animal
foods rich in vitamin A may be
yellow or colorless like cod liver oil.
