The following Interesting letter recently appeared in The New York Times: i To the Editor of The New York Times: ^ * I One of the most graphic descrip- 1 tions of a transport's trip across the 1 ocean and its eventful exDeriences ' with enemy submarines that has yet 1 reached us on this side is contained in'tte inclosed letter that I received from my brother in England en route to the front. SAMUEL BERSON. 1 New York, July 7, 1918. ^ June 6, 1918. | * * * I am willing to take my hat off for the British warships any day. The escort we met as we struck the danger zone was efficiency with a capital "E." They saved our lives twice. Only their vigilance, marksmanship, and skillful maneuvering saved this convoy. I wouldn't take all the money in the world for that trip and the thrills that it offered. Only we could not see how they could do all that without having the American Flag on their masts to inspire them. Those destroyers can charge on a sub with the speed of the most powerful racing car, suddenly swerve to and escape the mountain of waterthat rises straight up in the air with j lightning rapidity. If I didn't see with my own eyes what happened I would never believe it. And if the English can do it, the Americans surely can do it. No wonder the sub is considered as powerless in stopping the United States from sending troops across. I have never had as * much faith in our winning this war A as I have now, after seeing the utterfutility of the sub. o Just imagine it is Sunday, June 2, 6:20 P. M. Signal for "sub in sight" s had just been given by a -transport. Instantly two destroyers are seen bearing down on three dark objects about a half mile away with lightning speed, sirens screeching, and guns shooting. Suddenly, within a Bhort distance of the dark objects that are subs, they swing to one side, dropping depth bombs, and just es- * caping the mountain of water and crash by inches. Those depth charges 0 although rocking every boat in the convoy, did the trick. Do you blame I us for cheering? The subs were making a big try I for us that evening. An hour later the transport alongside of us sudden- ^ iy screeched but the warning: "Sub ? in sight." Can you believe it? After the lesson they were taught just an * hour ago they were still looking for ft more. But this son-of-a-gun was prepared for business. One look in the periscope showed the front part of 4 the transport that spied her first. Poor target! One slight turn, and * the whole side of the transport I was on was exposed to her. Very tempt- i ing target. Rose slightly, and the white line preceding a torpedo was * seen emerging from her. But all this * time a destroyer was bearing down ? on her. As we noticed the long, roaming line, we also saw something flash from the side of the destroyer, a shock that inarto pvprv Knot . J 1UMO' like a leaf, and a mountain of water straight up, was all that could be soen of the torpedo and sub. Oh, yes, the destroyer was seen disappearing in the mist shaking its sides like a dog after a bath. And through all this the other destroyers cruise around in their own allotted territory, not going out of their way the least bit, knowing full well that the one nearest the point of danger can fully handle the situation herself. Now do you blame me for taking my hat off to the British Navy? Good Lungs Most Important. London, June 13?(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)? ' Good lungs are the most important < requirements of an airman, declared Major Martin Flack, head of the air ministry's medical department. "Keen sight, good hearing and good hands, are all important to an air pilot," he said, "but the most important thing of all is the lungs. The sucocssful pilot is generally a deep breather, who can take in more oxygen than the ordinary man and is able to hold his breath longer. He is thus able to withstand the i strain of an atmosphere where oxy| gen is getting rare." ! Asked whether there was such a thing as the "flying temperament," Major Flack said: "Yes, I think there is, and it will to a certain exj tent overcome physical disability. One of the famous British airmen had considerable difficulty in passing j the ordnary physical tests." Constantly repeated medical exI nininotinna r>? ? 1 * >....u?i>uuo ui mi Mini iii e required 111 the British service, he said. "Our medical officers," he explained, "are expected to look upon the pilots under their charge as human machines, to say whether they are fit to take the air, and to take steps constantly to keep them up to top form and to remove the causes of mental or physical distress. "We keep insisting on hardening exercises, for there is no doubt that a man so hardened, sitting in light clothing uses much less oxygen than one who has not undergone thesb hardening exercises. Carful watching is necessary over what the airman eats, drinks and smokes, and we attach the highest importance to providing the men mental distraction. One of the best forms of mental distraction for airmen appears to | be gardening.'" little tn Cdkge Has Just closed one of the most sue- ! cessful years in its history.
