HOW BRITISH SINK SUBMARINES.
Series of Thrilling Stories of Recent
Actions Against the U-Boats.
London. Sept. 30.?Another series
of thrilling reports of recent naval actions
against German submarines, illustrative
of the manner in which the
U-boat menace is being met, was given
out tonight by the admiralty. The
records are official, but no dates are
given.
The statement begins by reciting
how a torpedo gunboat sighted a periscope
600 yards away and turned ship
so liiai tut: ytrnscupe was traveling 111
the opposite direction in that which
it was first seen. When at a distance
of fifty yards, the periscope disappeared
and the gunboat, altering its
course, passed over the submarine.
Submarine Sunk.
The impact of the collision was felt
* and when the captain estimated that
the submarine was under the aft of
the ship explosive charges w*ere dropped
astern. A mine sweeper found an
obstruction on the bottom at this
point.
A torpedo patrolling in the Atlantic
found a steamer torpedoed and sinking.
The survivors were rescued and
then the torpedo boat circled about
the locality for more than an hour.
Finally, a white patch of water was
seen dead ahead. The torpedo boat
dashed over the spot, grazed the submarine
and dropped three submarine
bombs, oil and air bubbles of gasoline
came to the surface and the mine
sweeper found another obstruction
here.
Submarine vs. Subijiarine.
The encounter described in the
statement was that of a submarine
against a submarine. A British submarine
sighted a German submersible
while both were at the surface. The
British submarine dived and later
picked up the enemy through the
periscope. A torpedo fired at 800
yards, caused a violent explosion in
the German vessel.
When the Britisher arose he found
a patch of oil in which Germans were
swimming. They said that they had
been blown out through the conning
tower and that their craft had been
nctprn and turned over and
sank.
A Close Call.
i A story characteristic of the mine
sweeper's spirit is next recited. A flotilla
of sweepers was engaged in
western channel waters when an explosion
occurred between a pair of
them, the wire net parting. When
the sweeping wire was pulled in, two
mines were found entangled, one on
the ship's side and the other just
under the surface.
The slightest roll of the ship*striking
the mines 'whiskers' would have
been sufficient to set off an annihilating
charge. The officer in command,
being responsible for the lives of the
crew, ordered them to abandon the
ship. Later a.senior officer with volunteers
reboarded the mine sweeper
and co.oly cut the wire. The mines
fell into the sea without exploding.
Somewhere in France.
It took him just as he went up over
the trench parapet?took him full in
his bare and muscular throat. It was
hardly bigger than one of those rubber
erasers tinned to the ends of lead
pencils. But with the driving power
of high energy powder behind its
steel-jacketed nose, it was an altogeter
competent and devilishly capable
agent of destruction. He lay quite
still a few ?ards ahead of the trench,
where his rush had carried him. me
morning drew toward noon. With
night came the beginning of his torment.
First it was thirst, then fever,
then delirium. Always his spilling
wound burned and throbbed. Even on
the second night, with the rain beating
down upon him, it glowed like a
kiln. By the third day his agony
spoke in screams. A stretcher party
found him and trundled him away,
down through the line of Red Cross
units, from dressing station to field
base, eventually to Paris. He was
French, but he was fighting our fight.
He was French, but a few months
from now his counterpart may be
American. There are bullets enough
for all. He may be a boy you know,
perhaps a neighbor's boy, your own.
Fighting our fight. Will you help
him, when our fight has broken him,
to fight his? Will you help him,
when his young body and vivid force
are spent and shattered, to retrieve
what he may? Join the American
Red Cross. It is the wounded soldier's
truest ally. It is his minister
and guardian. It is his hope. Join
the local chapter?it has only a porportion
of the membership i,t should
have. Take a dollar membership, a

?Life.
SPEND VACATION* ON* FARM.
Your Health and Your Country
Would Profit by It.
A correspondent of an exchange
advises the people to spend their vacation
upon farms. There they can
get rest and oceans of pure air.There
they can get nutritious food and
plenty of it. There they are separate
from the dreary gossip of the day
and can let their thoughts ramble
among the clover, the birds and the
dear old cows in the field. There
they can escape from business and
schemes, the tumult of the market
and the clamorous chase after things
that ain't worth while. And there,
too. they can renew their health and
build up their strength for their city
duties that will come after while by
devoting a little time to helping the
farmer in the field. In fact there
are many people, not handicapped
with much wealth, who can work on
a farm for their board and tranquility
and help the farmer out in
his duty of furnishing the country
with food that is so much needed in
the war affliction. Don't waste your
time at loafing places. Devote it to
healthy toil, where the soil smiles
back at you in flowers; and wheat,
and corn, and boiled cabbage and
spring chickens. These are the
things to attract one, and not the
tomfcrolery of the world.?Ohio State
Journal.
The Return of Caesar.
The difference between the Roman
Empire and all other empires is that
the Roman Empire was universal. Its
theory involved the gathering together,
of all of the world, or all of
the world that really mattered, into
one family, which should be ruled by
the city of Rome under the presidency
of the Emperor. This ideal
was attained. We have lived so
many centuries in a society in which
nations are independent of each other
that we come to regard that society
as the only natural one; we
have forgotten the principle of universalism
and come to accept the
principle of nationality as the only
possible order for the world. We
have forgotten that for a long time
it was the principle of nationality
that seemed strange and irregular,
and the principle of universalism as
the natural one. That state of mind
existed long after the fall of the
Roman Empire; men could not get
used to nationalism and kept looking
for the revival of the universal dominion
which had lasted so long and
had made so deep an impression on
the mind of mankind.
x That impression has never wholly
faded away. Its strength even in
death was shown in the semi-revivals
of universalism, such as the empire
of Charlemagne and the holy Roman
Empire, the latter being in theory as '
universal as the Roman Empire itself
* 1 ^^ ?
mougn me laci never uunesyuuucu
to the theory. It still lingers in the
mind of William II, whose heroes as
he tells us, are Theodoric, Frederick
II and Charles V; Theodoric, who
tried to continue the Roman Empire
under the German rulership; Frederick,
who tried to make the holy
Roman Empire really Roman, and
not merely German, and Charles,
whose aim was universalism under
German hegemony. But, what is
more important, the impression is only
deep in the mind of William II,
but the idea of universalism is the
idea pervading the whole caste that
rules Germany today.
The reason is simple enough. The
theory, if not the fact, of universalism
persisted in Germany long after
the rest of the world had forgotten
it. Nominally, at least Germany
was always ruled by the holy Roman
Empire, which in the theory was the
Roman Empire coming down in a
continuous line from Augustas to
Franz II. That empire was not destroyed
until 1806, and after that
Germany had never more than a
makeshift government until 1871,
when it was gathered again into an
empire. Only sixty-five years had
intervened between the fall of the 1
old empire and the beginning of the
new. The old empire was universal
in theory; it was, too the only government
Germany had known since
Germany ceased to be populated by
barbarian tribes. Naturally the German
conception of empire was universal,
and naturally the new empire
began immediately to concentrate
its thoughts on world dominion.
Therefore, it is that idea of the
Roman empire, long thought dead,
that has risen from the grave in the
twentieth century, and that the nations
of the world are combined in
a life and death struggle to thrust it
back in its coffin again. The German
mind, trained for ten centuries,
can conceive of no empire except a
universal one. or. at any rate, will
have no empire but a universal one.
and what William H aims to do is to <
put on his head the crown of Augustas
and to dominate the world as
de did from Berlin, not from Rome.
There can be no compromise between
universalism and nationalism,
for the idea of one excludes the
other.?The New York Times.
