SAYS U-BOATS ARE QUITTING Hint Comes From London That New Method of Warfare Brings in Many. London.?Under the title "A Londoner's Dlnry" the Evening Standard prints the following, which there Is reason to believe is not lacking in substantial truth: "Some time ago I referred to the rumors concerning 'docks full' of captured submarines, and warned my readers ngnlnst taking them too literally. I am now in position to say that there Is more substance than usual behind the present gossip of successes aguinst submarines. "Whether anything has gone wrong with the supply ships, or whether the , ^lun crews dislike the task, the fact re- ( mains that there have been surrenders. I understand too that the men of our destroyers are elated at the results of a certain new method of lighting submarines. It would be Indiscreet to give particulars, but no harm Is done by stating that the great difficulty of detecting the presence of a submarine has been met with considerable success. It Is, as Admiral Jelllcoe hinted, only a matter of time." Ducks Froze in Ice on Millpond.

All we know is that our | troops during the night stormed and captured the French village over yon- i dcr. I want to see how our left wing ' Is situated, ami therefore ride to the ; village where the enemy's bullets are falling as thick ns hailstones during a heavy thunderstorm. The fog continues thick, buf It is not cold. "I find a shelter where other cavalrymen are taking a little rest and nt once 2ji proceed to get some needed sleep myself, ordering the lieutenant to rouse me in case of necessity.

It appears perfectly happy and contents, and seems to be enjoying Itself. Not a sound Is to be heard, not a shot Is fired. Every man has become dumb from amazement. "'A child has fallen from heuveni' cries a soldier near me. "Well, that Is about the case, for . j where else could that child have come from? "Before my weary brain can summon up any convincing reasons how that { child got out there?whether some poor mother lost It In the panic due to the battle of the night before?a German soldier Jumps out of the trench and runs to where the child Is crawling about. Absolute stillness prevails | In the trenches, and only to our right, from which this extraordinary sight is hidden l?y a clump of trees, is the sounds of gunfire beard. Like Peaceful Island. "And tlds spot, which all through the night had beyn a veritable Inferno of shot and shell, Is now like some peaceful island or a cool, friendly oasis In a burning desert. 1 "Over there In the enemy's trenches we can see the helmets of the Frenchmen as they peer over the edges. No one Is any longer thinking of the enemy or the war, or of danger. All eyes are on the tall soldier and the child which he is approaching. As he picks up that little frightened, helpless hit of humanity and fondly takes It In his arms, a laugh, a low, friendly InugfC^'^^B passes along our entire column. The laugh Is Infectious, and we can feel I how it is going along the ranks oyer yonder. And suddenly?what, are they going to shoot??no, on the contrary, a great wave of applause with shouts of 'Bravo!' from thousands of French throats break the stillness. Then, as . , the soldier jumps hack Into our trench with the child safely In his arms, our ranks, too, burst Into a triumphant shout which passes all along the line. "Kven for some time after not a shot Is tired. It Is as If we felt ahamed of ourselves, and no one touched a while that child was in our midst. "When the tiring did start again it was rather desultory and Indifferent, and there was nothing dangerous about it. That little child had worked a wonderful change in the hearts of both friend and foe- that morning." BLOW RESTORES MAN'S VOICE i Silent for Years He Recovers His Speech While Boxing With His Cousin.
