Two American Boats Practically
Uninjured by Collision Thirty
Feet Under Water,
WASHINGTON, Feb, 16— Two Unit
ed States submarines have been in
collision 30 4eet under water and both
have come gafely home to port., So
far a 8 naval records show no acci
dent of the sort ever happened before,
The only injury was that the stem
of one vessel was chipped and some
rivets were sprung on the other. The
commanding officer of one vessel told
the story on a recent visit here. The
Navy Department permits the story
to be made public The young com
mander salid;
“We were busy on our usual job,
We knew this other chap was In the
neighborhood engaged Mm the same
maneuvers, We were humping along
at eight knots, 30 feet submerged, in
about the coldest, bleakest streak of
winter water there is on the At
lantic coast, when something hit us,
“We rolled over on our beam ends
and then we stood on our tail, and
before I knew it ihere was dbylight
in the periscope, and we camegdown
with a flop on top of the water, only
to drop In again and out once more,
all the time rolling from one beam end
to the other.
Steady at Last. A
“It seemed like half an hour before
we got her steady on the surface.
Honest, it was somewhat of a sur
prise when she stopped pirouctting,
and we got the hateh cover open,
“And the flrst thing [ saw when 1
got'my head above the combing was
this other craft coming up fust the
same as we were. Their old man’'s
2:9 of my bhest friends, but when I
w him poke up on deck 1 yelled
some things to him that are not in
any copy of the regulations he ever
saw, And he yelled some back to
me,
“‘You blankety-blank —blank-—
blank!' he yelled; ‘vou've chipped our
nose off’
“Then we both got sane again and
found neither of us was busted, For
tunately he'd been barely moving. He
was only logging about a knot, And
he sald when he got the punch it
seat him whanging down to the sandy
bottom so hard that it knocked all
hands off their feet. But both of us
came up all right and we finished the
dn&; work and we've heen out again
ev day since, And by golly, it's
o ”
3 All in Day's Work.
n’ut’s all this young man had to
about it, But those in the Navy
wrtment who know him and the
w he and his craft are doing have
a lttle more to say. The collision
ned the day after the F-1 and
F+4& croghed in a fog with heavy loss
of ¥fe. "The young skipper who told
" story has been acting as the
ln{‘“’?ummy upon which various
antl-submarine stunts have been
1 . He has persisted in the duty
ugh some of the worst weather
the coast ever had known.
He is to be married within a month
from “‘he time when he heard that
fateful rasp glong his frail craft's
gkin and felt her stagger 30 feet un
der water.
“And,” said he, “by golly, it's cold.”
But that, according to the Navy De
partment, is the spirit this whole flo
"vt{gmhln displayed. They are carry
i on some of the most important
work of the war, It is at this station
that the scientists gs the navy con
sulting board try out the anti-sub
marine inventions. .

Material Prove Eye-Openers,
PARIS, Feb. 16.—A visit to a port
in Southern KFrance, where American
supplies by the thcusands of tons are
arriving almost daily, is an eye
opener.
In this town, which I 8 about the
gize of Baltimore, the public parks,
the streets for blocks- around the
docks, the quays, wharves and dock
warehous s are jammed to capacity.
Millions of tons of war material have
arrived.
French raillroad offclals who be
lieved that they would be called upon
to transport all this tremendous mass
of American war materials almost
threw up their arms in despair when
they saw fleet after fleet of ships
enter the harbor ard unload with
American speed,
But the way American transporta
tion officiels and practical raflroad
masn are LancCling this tremendous
welght of war freight has not only
relieved KFrench rallroad men, but has
astonished them as well.
Giant Box Cars Used.
Already giant American box cars,
hauled by giant American locomo
tives such as those which climb over
the Rockies in trios are at work.
These locomotives roar out of the
French railroad terminal day and
night over a roadbed constructed by
American engineers and Irish-Ameri
can section bosses. Beside the in
termirable trains of gilant American
box cars the tiny ten-ton French
wagons seem puny affairs, indeed.
Committees of French and conti
nental rallroad men have visited this
port to see how Americans handle war
supglies,
“1t is like one of your ‘Buffalo Bill’
or ‘Barnum and Balley' circuses”
commented one French railroad man.
“Astounding, simply astounding. No
wonder the Kaiser before the war
told his army officers to follow the
American circuses and see how they
handled their baggage and supplies.
If you Americans fight like you work
the war Is won.” ,
Before American box cars and en
gires arrived this port was jammed
full of supplies of all kinds. Evenl
today the congestion is tremendous,

“Wait untll we get more box cars
and engines from America,” they de
[tvlarn. “Those streets piled high with
boxes, and knock-down huts;, those
docks groaning under tons of barrels
and boxes; that crated artillery and
ammunition In the public parks will
disappear like a celluloid in the place
the preachers talk about.”
All this freight travels over Ameri
can-made roadbeds to a certain town
in Central F¥France, where the main
American base is established. Here
the main lines fork out into a ver
itable network of tracks. Kach bifur
cation leads to a warehouse of the
type familiar all over America, with
Joading and unloading platforms on
a level with the box car doors,
Every warehouse is new and every
one was bullt in the last four months,
The timber used in their censtruction
comes from America, from [rance,
from Switzerland and from Italy.
Laundry of Great Capacity.
Here has been builtra glant laundry,
in which all the washing of the entire
American expeditionary force could
be done at once if necessary. Here is
an old clothes repairing station where
thousands of French seamstresses re

Here is the machine shop where
machine guns, rifles and artillery are
repaired by hundreds of skilled ma
chinists. Here is the greatest cold
storage plant in the world. Its di
mensions are greater than any known
in America or in Europe. |
Tracks lead to dozens of giant
warehouses where are stored sugar,
flour and canned goods by the thou
sands of tons. Near by artillery and
caterpillar guns are assembled. And
in a city not so far away the first
American tanks are being deslsned.l

After he had ransacked every room in
the hnusl‘-flrs‘l a refrigerator filled with
beer—Oreste Coruzzi was shaken out of
a sound sleep, where he lay in the base
ment of the home of J. A. Fogler, tea

arrested by Sheriff Michael fSheehan and
a posse of five men, who had responded
to a hurry call to catch a burglar.
Mrs. Fogler discovered the sleeping
Coruzzi, his head pillowed on a plle of
costly clothes belonging to her son-in
law, Joseph Donohwe, which he had
taken from one of the rooms, and sur
rounded by empiy beer bottles. Accord
ing to Mrs. Fogler, Coruzi in searching
the room had left a quantity of valuable
jewelry untouched. Coruzzi said a man
had pointed out the Fogler home to him
as a good place to sleep. He said he
intended to stay three nights, this be

Famous Actress Refuses Her 250-

PARIS, Feb. 16.—Once more the

leather is positively the only mate

on pledging his admiration from the

To the astonishment of all her
friends Mademoiselle burst into a‘
storm of objections., That sort of
compliment was an excellent thing
before the war, she pouted. In those
days every Russian Grande Duke de

slipper with champagne and drinking
it to her health. But today—what a
difference!
The white patent leather s¥ippers
she was wearing would have cost her
only 140 francs before the war, Mlle.
Spinelly went on, petulantly. But that
very pair had cost her that very aft
ernoon no less than 250 francs. And,
moreover, her shoemaker in the Place
Vendome had told her with tears in
his eyes that he would soon be out of
that white patent leather and would
not be able to get any more until aft
