DESTROYERS MOST
FEARED BY U-BOATS
- BSnWtaenw
Diaries of - Submarine Com
mander ?rove Effective
ness of Destroyers, Opera
ing Against Sabs.
Base of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, Nov. 2.-Diariei taken
from captured U-boat commanders
furnish documentary evidence that
the destroyer is the most effective of
present weapons against the sub
marine. "Avoided destroyer" is the
often repeated entry. In fact, these
logs show conclusively that the sub
marines are having a hard time of it.
The result of destroyer activity dur
ing the last four weeks has been not
only a decrease in casualties of tner
' chant ships, but also a still more sat
isfactory increase in the number of
submarines sunk.
The convoying of merchantmen has
now reached a stage of considerable
perfection, after many months' work
in training both officer! of merchant
ships and the personnel of the patrol
flotillas, and while systematic con
voying was undertaken primarily as
a defensive measure, it has now de
veloped that convoying is at the same
time the best offensive measure yet
devised against the U-boats.
Torpedo's Wake Gives Direction.
The offensive side of convoying
may best be shown by an illustration.
When a submarine tries to torpedo
convoyed ship as submarines are
now compelled to do owing to the
infrequency of unconvoyed shipping
there is always a destroyer on the
iscene and the chances of its "get
ling" that particular submarine are
correspondingly increased.
The wake of a torpedo is generally
seen by the destroyer'! lookouts and
it gives a good line on the direction
where the submarine is lying.
The destroyer immediately steers
a course full speed in the line shown
by the torpedo's wake and drops re
peated depth charges along this
course.
In a considerable proportion of
rases this proves effective, for these
depth charges cause serious commo
tion over corresponding rtdius.
The Associated Press correspondent
was told of three cases during the
last fortnight in which submarines
were thus destroyed. In many In
stances, no doubt, submarines are de
stroyed without any visible indica
tion above water of their loss. Still
others are badly crippled, as in the
case of the damaged U-boat which
was recently interned in Spain.
Another tubmarine . which will
never return to Germany was sunk
under peculiar circumstances a short
time ago. This U-boat torpedoed I
ship bound from the United States.
It is extremely unwise and unsafe to
fire tgrpedo at such close range, hu

the if-boat must take their targets as
they get them these days.
The torpedoed ship was loaded with
a careo of heavy war material, and
the explosion was so forcible that it
blew a large piece ot Heavy material
through the deck of the ship and
dropped it on the submarine as the
latter was submerging. The hull of
the submarine was crushed like an
egg shell and it sank with all on
board.
No German Operas
In New York This
Season, War Result
' t -
New York, Nov. 2.German operas
will not be heard at the Metropolitan
opera house this season, it was
learned today. While no official an
nouncement has been made, it is
known that the management has re
scinded its former decision to in
clude Wagnerian operas in the pro
gram. It is said that as a result of
the ban on" German music, Mme.
Gadski and Otto Gorit will not be
among the singers appearing on the
Metropolitan stage this season.
The directors of the opera have
reached the conclusion, it is said, that
to continue to produce German opera
mig' t enable Gertrtany, by garbling
news dispatches for home consump
tion, to convey the impression that
the United States was not heart and
soul in the war.

Frequent changes from one gasoline to another.
You cannot keep your carburetor properly
