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.

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.

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.
