ANGLER was ready for her fifth war patrol. Although only one ship was sunk, the fifth patrol was probably the most eventful one made by the ANGLER. This patrol was conducted in the Mindanao Sea, Sulu Sea, and South China Sea during the months of Septem- Der and October, 1914. The ANG- LER did reconnaissance work around Leyte and Samar prior to the invasion by our forces. A few days before the invasion, the ANG- LER left the Mindanao Sea and patrolled off Puerta Princessa, PalaWan, sighted several merchant ships, but was unable to attack because of unsatisfactory condE tions. From Puerta Princessa the ANGLER proceeded to Cape Gala vite on the Northern tip of Mindoro. sighting a convoy and sinking troop trans port enroute. Arrival off Mindoro seemed to be the signal for the starting of general fleet maneuvers. It seemed that every time the peril scope was raised. a destroyer or cruiser making maximum speed, would go by, saved only by the fact that they were in such a hurry.
 After several days of such in- tense activity, punctuated by con- tinual disappointment, it was de- cided to journey out farther into the South China Sea tor a rest. While cruising along at slow speed on an inky black night, the officer of the deck was startled by hear ing someone scream to him from the water-a wierd, horrifying voice from nowhere. For several hours in the blackness the ANG- LER played a game of hide-and- seek, trying to find the originator of the ghastly screams. No success was had until after daylight when numerous Japanese soldiers and sailors were sighted In the water. Some were dead, some alive and others about half way between. These were survivors of some transports that had been sunk by one of our cohorts several days earlier. The ANGLER picked up three of them for questioning, one being an Army lieutenant. There certainly wasn't any ''Banzai" spirit in this group. They freely ad mitted that Japan had lost the war, and their only ambition was to go to the United Sates to work.
 Early that evening, while pro- ceeding toward the northern end of Palawan Passage, the ANGLER contacted large task force, which, it was later learned, con- sisted of five battleships, eight cruisers, and thirteen deStroyers. Unluckily, the task force was al- ready ahead of the ANGLER, was making high speed and waiting for no stop lights. The only thing the ANGLER could do was to trail and keep our forces informed of the location of this important enemy fleet. This force was later engaged by our forces in the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea.
 It was while trailing this task force that the ANGLER had a tremendous disappointment. A large convoy of merchant ships seemed to spring up right in our path. Oh, how we longed to sink those cargo-laden ships-easy tar gets, the kind for which every sub- mariner longs. However. our duty was clear, so the ANGLER was conned to avoid the choice targets, and to follow the task force. It was very important that the location of this enemy fleet be known so that it would not interfere with our in- vasion program.
 After having found where the task force was bound, the ANGLER

Surprising Injuries
FromWearing Rings

flnger during an overenthusiastic
hand shake or as a result of other
crushing injuries.
Some people wear rings after
they have become too small. This,
Of course, interferes with the cir
cu'ation and may result in some
type of trouble after a prolonged
period.
The injuries which result from
the rings include Commissions or
bruising but more often laceration
or tearing Of the skin. These LAGER
atoms frequently require sewing.
Tendon Severed
In several instances a tendon
connecting muscle to a bone was
severed. Following a burn or a
broken bone in the finger, swelling
of the tissues results, which means
a disturbance of the circulation.
Prompt removal Of the ring by
cutting, if necessary, will prevent
serious OF permanent injury in
such cases.
Because Of the number of injur-
les which may result from wear
ing rings, Drs. Simon and Alban
advise that rings be removed dur
ing work and at any other time
when wearing them might be dam
gerous.
At other times, Of course, there
is no reason why rings should
not be worn by either men or wo-
men, and the habit of removing
them while at work not only safe
guards against accident but
would seem to be common sense
care of valuable ornament.

BY HERMAN N. BUNDESeN, MD.

YOU'D never expect that such
severe injuries as sprains. dis
located joints. broken bones or
even loss of a finger could result
from the wearing of rings. And,
yet, Drs. Harold +. Simon and
Harry Alban of the U. S. Army
Medical Corps, have found they
do and rather frequently at that.
They made survey of group
of one thousand soldiers and found
that more than two out of three
wore rings. About one out of every
thirty had suffered some injury at
tributed to the presence of the
ring. These physicians also noted
eleven ring injuries which we're so
severe that surgical attention was
required.
Finger Injuries
1t is reasonable to assume that
there are many minor finger in
juries due to rings which do not
come to the physicians attention.
The ring may cause injury in vari-
Gus ways. Most frequently the in
jury occurs because the ring is
caught on a projection. In almost
one-third Of the cases studied the
injury occurred during the course
Of exit from an airplane.
In these instances as the person
was leaving the plane, the ring
caught on some projection and
thus put pressure on the finger.
Six injuries occurred from catch
ing the ring on a nail or a bolt.

Gus ways, such as pushing a swing,
