* 'V ? ,r;h ?_? GERMANY'S MOST EFFECTIVE U-BOAT Submarine Cruiser and "Wet" - f 1 v y Guns Play Havoc With Ships. > London.?The submarine warfare lias gradually taken on a new phase since the wintry weather set in. Submarines of the so-called cruiser type now are doing most of the sinkings while the smaller submarines appar I ently are confining their work large" ly to mine laying. The reason foi H this shifting of Genu an technique ?s f th^t small submarines are not good suuTaoe craft in stormy sea while the cruiser type has proved actually more manageable than the modern torpedo boat destroyer in heavy weather. These cruiser submarines curry two 5.9 guns and H> 1-orpcdoes, and can remain at sea six weeks. The Germans have built a considerable l umber of the superior submarines. Seven or Eight Operating. They are manned by the pick oi ihb whole German navy and theif wvcr for harm may be judged froi i the fact that the seven or eight vessels operating are able to keep up such a heavy toll of sinkings among Allied shipping. A considerable proportion of the recent sinkings have noon accomplished by gun live, l no new cruiser guns arc of a .specie:* known technically as wot guns being constructed of material which sea water does not harm. They are mounted on stationery platforms and can bc fired the instant the deck r. r an emerging hoat is above the water. An American destroyer had an on counter with one of the submarine } -cruisers a few days ago. The Geiy inarm..were engaged in sinking three tinned merchantmen from a range of four miles and had fired about thirty shots when the destroyer's atten* tion was attracted by shell fire. The destroyer opened fir? at six miles with the wonderful American naval guns.,- The U-boat, however, was lying with decks almost awash ? and therefore was a most difficult ' target and as the American drew in f toward her at full speed, the submaf innc submerged. The smoking muzzles of her wet guns disappeared beneath the waters only an instant after their last shot had been fired. The Americans were .unable to destroy the U-boat, but tin* destroyer cscotrod two of the three merchantmen solely to port. moveT , To Farmers & Merchants Bank ' Building. r - . i To our customers ami those .? whom it may concern: We hav?? purchased the Farmers Merchants Bank building and moved our stock to i this place whore we will be bettor enabled to serve you in our line oi' work especially in the picture business, also if the fitting of oye glasses, as we are equipping this building especially for this work; also in watch and clotk repairing.

CAPITATION TAX. : " 1 * SEVgt BETTER PRISONER THAN FIGHTING MAN American Officer Surprised by Greeting of German Acquaintance. % With the American Army in France.?An American army officer walking along- one of the roads todby came upon a party of green-coated Gorman prisoners cleaning" out ditchos so that the water would flow freely. He had passed half way through the group when one of the Germans stopped his work suddenly ^ and called out: "Hello, .Toe! What are you doing over here?" The officer walked up to the man and found he was a youth he had known in Boston before the war. "Joe," the German went on, "this is funny, isn't it. lsist time I saw you was in Beacon street. I went back to Germany to visit an aunt just before the war broke out. Unluckily I had not been naturalized in the United States, and they grabbed me in the army. They also got four friends of mine, "Wo fixed it up so we. are all now I I prisoners. At the battle of the Mar* ne, mv friends and I simulv nlnv-m ? r r ^ dead until the French . amo up. Then we surrendered and have been prisoners ever since." When asked what he thought of the United States being in the war, the youth is said to have cautiously winked in the direction of his German comrades and resumed digging. ? 1) ? ?Breaking Into Print. (From the Washington Post.) Oh, Mrs. Prunella Mehitable Jane Was stalwart of muscle and ><able of brain; She could knit, if she would, And her biscuits were good. The care of a household she well understood. But of such things her home-folks did not dare to hint? They never got any one's name into print. She carried a banner, and stood om the pave; She laughed at policemen who said, "Please behave!" She retorted, "Oh, fudge" To the affable judge, And obsrtucted the sidewalks, refilling to budge. She rejoiced in reproaches bestowed without stint? She is certain of getting her name in print.
