g CAEN CANNOT CARRY WEAPONS As the OfMtcers of German Submarines Arg Afaid of a Revolt. Cw BOATS DESTROYED BY THE LATEST DE DEVICE OF GET- TING AT THEM. : Submarines Are Bombed and Crush ed--German Sailors Have a Horror Of Death Under Water With No Fighting Chance. Lloyd Geomge's declaration thst on a single day recently five of the Kaiser's submarines had been de- stroyed is a thrilling piece of news. Not more than six months ago the problem of successiully combatting the submarine geemed well nigh hopeless. But to-day the captains and crews of allied ships are reath- ing more easily, Last June the character of the problem and the pathway to success were indicated by an expert along lines which events have strikingly confirmed. A reproductien of what was then printed is now most timely: "The remedy for the submarine is 80 simple that it is most remarkable it was not applied almost from the beginning. "The submarine is an egg-shell and it can be crushed like an egg- shell, and that is what is being done with them. At first they were netted. Then net-cutting apparatus was sup- plied to the submarine and the net- tive, device quickly 'became ineffec- ve "Then airplanes and submarine chasers co-operated. In clear waters the submarine can be detected from an airplane at a depth of more than 100 4€t. Submarine chasers studied surface bubbles and 'surface indica- tions. Locating a submarine, groups of destroyers and chasers were sum- 'moned to the spot and then the ter- ritory for miles around was covered as by spokes from a wheel. "Now a submarine locatTon on be- Ing discovered is netted most effec- tively. It is circled by bombs lower- ed under water over a wide area. The simultaneous explosion of these mines by electrical devices will crush any underwater craft, "Water is, of course, Incompres- sible. The entire ocean weight, mil- lions of tons, resists and the explo- sive power must effectively crush everything nearby that is not as solid as the ocean itself, "Without waiting for U-boat ac- tivities the destroyers .now fish for and crush them just as effectively as a piece of dynamite is used in a pond bv ap a poacher to stun or kill all near- y fish, "We are also informed that so sue- cessful has been the campaign against the submarines that the Ger- man admiralty is now finding the greatest difficulty in securing crews for them. The men are not lacking in ordinary courage and are perfect- ly willing to go into, the first-line trenches exposéd to the normal dan- gers of war, but there is a natural horror of imprisonment and death' umder water with no fighting chance." 3 Now the accounts from Germany are the U-boat crews are not allow- o to carry even knives aboard--<for fear of mutiny and surrender, wn Benedict May Get the Hook. | + Ottawa, Feb. 14.---The Citizen says: Goal-keeper Be McAndrew who is now at Pembroke, has been highly commended to the Ottawa Hockey Club and will likely be tried out this season. McAndrew is re- garded as the hest amateur prospect in the game and may be taken to Montreal wth the Ottawas Saturday. He played "for Buckingham, in t Lower Ottawa Hockey Association and has also held a net position Pittsburg and Cleveland.

Ypres 1s 600 years old, and ecar- ried with It before the war the im- press of an honorable past. In the middle ages, when the Flemish merchants were the great traders of Europe, the city was fabulously wealthy, being for many years the centre of the wool trade. After its prosperity passed it would have be- come obscure but for the Cathedral and Cloth Hall, where the wool merchants once had met. These two monuments were remarkable exam- ples of the architecture of their time, and for a hundred years had made Ypres known and visited by the world, It remained for (he German to turn to ashes what had been a place of beauty for 500 years. The first bombardment of Ypres came on Nov. 1, 1914. The town was then full ot wounded soldiers and peasant re. fugees from the surrounding ecoun- try. They were crowded principally in the Cathedral and the Church of St. Nicholas, in the vain belief that THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 18 PAGESEVENTEEN { ' ' Pp _FAGE SEVENTEEN The Winepress of God's Wrath. The First Copy sold July 16th, 1917. NOT A GERMAN PROPAGANDA as represented by the Press, but a masterly ex- position of the TRUTH as revealed in the sym- 'bolisms and visions of Revelation and Ezekiel, now due to be understood because specially applicable to the thrilling crisis of this .most eventful period in the world's history. The Chief Press Censor of Canada either consciously or unconsciously is confounding the work of others with which we have no con- nection or knowledge whatever, such as the Have You Read It ? these sanctuaries at least would be spared by the invader. The battle on the hills around Ypres ended seventeen days later. | The Germans failed to break through the British line, but the bombard ment of the town, instead of waning, | grew more intense, The Germans foiled in their attempt to capture Ypres, determined to destroy it. For a long period, heavy shells fell into! the town at the rate of fifteen a min- ute. Thé sound of the continuous destruction could be heard fifty miles away, The inhabitants of the town most ly fled soon after the bombardment started. When it was over they re turned to find the beauty of their town well nigh gone. The famous Cloth Hall still stood, but it was a roofless skéleton;' only its cellars were intact. Thé Great Square in ront of it was heaped with broken' stones and charred wood, and nearby, lay the broken bells, the famous bells ol Ypres, which for six hundred years had sounded every hour across the level fields of Belgiifni As for the cathedral, stand inside and look which was like a sieve, terior was filled with ments of marble statues from' the tombe, charred wood that had once been the wonderful carved roof, rags of burnt canvas that had heen beau- tiful pictures, broken glass of won i derful color that had been the fam- ous painted windows | Such was Ypres alter the first bombardment. Whole streets had been destroyed yet there were still houses where people could live: there was still a broken skeleton of what had been a town. For six months Ypres was left in comparative peace; shells still fell in the town at irregular intervals, but; it was possible for people to live there and to open shops for the, troops that passed through to the battle line. The second bombardment without warning on April 20, 1915. The first shell fell in the "Great Place" when it was filled with peo- ple.. It is impossible to-day to get any accurate estimate of the loss of life caused by that first shell, but those 'who saw it still blanch amd tremble with the mere memory of it. It was a heavier shell than any that had been used in the first bombard-| ment, coming from one of the giant siege guns. It could be heard for ten seconds im the air, the noise of it one could up at a roof while the in- stones, frag- begao growing as it came, like the sound)" of an express train. When it fell the thick smoke of its explosion rose 200 feet high. The full storm of the bombard. ment burst 48 hourf later, accom- panied by the first waves of poisoned gas used against the French and ritish{lines. Day and night for a ong Hod the great shells poured to the town 'in a steady stream, while above streets and squares and fields hung a sinister cloud, gas and swoke A dust, his bombardment ceased ft was he possible to find one's way through the town. Houses and stpeets had all melted together in heaps of rubbish. The one or two walls which still stood only served to emphagize the desolation, a few fragments of the church, wall and tower, with their pointed arches, the remains of a belfry, a scarred frag- ment of the facade of the Cloth Hall, From these ruins one could locate where the more important x ioente wi of the city had stood, and could estimate the completeness of the ruin. So Ypres remained for {wo more years," The Germans completed their destruction during the past spring and summer, removing the last recognizable vestiges of anything| by turning heavy armor-plercing shells against the pathetic ruins. By the end of July there was literally stones. That is all that now remains of the famous town of Ypres.

Miss Englefield, who is ons 'of the most popular of English com- ediennes, is familiarly known in her own country as "the Bad Girl," and takes her nickname from a play en- titled "The Bad Girl of the Family," in which she achieved a very em- phatic success, appearing in it over fourteen hundred times. Her last London appearance was in 'Follow the Crowd," the English version of 'Stop, Look, Listen," in which she was co-star with Ethel Levey, Joe Coyne and Robert Hale. 'In "Fancy Free' she will make her debut so far as this continent is concerned..
