Two American Boats Practically
Uninjured by Collision Thirty
Feet Under Water.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--Two Unit
ed States submarines have been in
collision 30 feet under water and both
have come safely home to port So
far as 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 said:
. “We were busy on our usual: job,
We knew this other chap was In the
neighborhood engaged in the same
maneuvers, We were humping along
at elght knots, 20 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 owr tail, and
before 1 knew it there wasg daylight
in the periscope, and we came down
with a flop on top of the water, only
to drog in agaln and out once more,
all the time rolling from one beam end
to the other.
Steady at Last.
“It seemed lke half an hour before
we got her steady on the surface.
¢ ilonest, it was somewhat of a sur
prise when she stopped pirouetting,
and we got the hatch cover open.
“And the first thing | saw when 1
got my head above the combing was
this other craft comihg up fust the
-u?o as we were, Thelr old man's
ond of my best friends, but when I
saw 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 velled some back to
me.
“You blankety—blank-—blank—
blank!’ he yelled; ‘you've chipped our
mose off’
“Then we both got sane again and
found neither of us was busted. For
tundtely he'd been barely moving. He
wad only logging about a knot, And
he id when he got the punch it
seat him whanging dqwn to the sandy
bottom so hard that it knocked all
ha off their feet. But both of us
‘came up all right and we finished the
dayls work and we've been ofit again
ev ) day since. And by golly, it's
cold.”
! All in Day's Wark.
“Mt'n a)'.; this young man had to
say about it. But those in the Navy
Department who know him and the
w!f he and his craft are doing have
a little more to say. The collision
happened the day after the }'-1 and
F-8 ernshed in a fog with heavy loss
of life. The young skipper who told
story has been acting as the
g dummy upon which varfous
submarine stunts have been

“And,” sald he, “by golly, It's cold.”

Busy Landing Port
(iiant l,mwmmtiwm(;;s_;nd Mass of War

PARIS, Feb. 16.—A visit to a port
in Southern France, where American
supplies by the thousands of tons are
arriving almost dnl.ly, is an eye
aopener
In this town, which is about the
gize of Baltimore, the public parks,
the streets for blocks around the
dorks, the quays, wharves and dock
warehous»s are jammed to capacity.
Milllons of tons of war material have
arrived,
French railroad officlals who be
lleved that they would be called upon
to transport all this tremendous mass
of American war materials almost
threw up their arms in despalr when
they saw fleet after fleet of ships
enter the harbor ard unload with
American speed,
But the way American transporta

rlrnady glant American box cars,

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 lrlsh-Ameg
can section bosses. Beside the
- trains of glant American
box cars the tiny ten-ton French
wazons seem puny affairs, indeed.
Committees of French and contl
nental railroad men have visited this
port to see how Americans handle war
suprlies.
“It 1s like one of your ‘Buffalo BIY
or ‘Barnum and Balley' circuses,”
commented one French railroad man.
“Astounding, simply astounding. No
wonder the Kalser before the war
told his army officers to follow the
American eircuses and sece how they
handled thelr baggage and supplies.
If you Americans fight llke you work
the war is won.”
Before American box cars and en
gires arrived this port was jammed
full of supplies of all kinds. KEven
today the cong:stion is tremendous,
