DUAL PROBLEM i FACES LEADERS | FOR PROF. HOWE Mjsmayed Over Shank’s South I Side Support and Robison’s Negro Backing. IwARMS UP ' FIGHT H Leaders of th,v News-Jewett moveHier.t to push Mr. Thomas C. Howe, Hormer president of Butler College, Into Republican nomination for mayor at cost, faced with two angles to the |HBolitlca! situation which are diametrically to the Interests of their candiHat?, have turned their energies to the Sffisk of solving the dual problem in their Eaavor. The forces of Samuel Lewis Stfat-.k Edward ,T. RuMson, running into eviof what the lfowe workers are at every corner are seeing to It their fences are not torn down. Bffbe first fact which stared the XewsIWewett machine In the face Is that Mr. [ Shank has lost none of the strength he | had four years ago In tbo south side I wards, but with the women voting and I th 6 Democratic party in a worse position I than four years ago to demand loyalty ■ to Us candidates In the primary, Mr. ■ The second big source of worry for Hhe Howe camp lls in the tremendous Q ! which Mr. Robison has been able &Bo gain over the other candidates In the ward*, which gave Mayor Chari’s Jewett pluralities which practically ■ nominated him over Mr. Shank four ■years ago. |tk SAME OI.D ■INTIMIDATING. ■ Shank and Robison workers have come Hacross evidence that the Ncws-Jewett M lea tiers are Instructing their workers In ■the south side precincts to circulate word ■that men and women known heretofore ■as Democrats will get themselves Into ■ trouble If they ask for a Republican ■ ballot on primary day. This method lof intimidating Democrats who desire ■to vote for Mr. Shank at south side ■ polls was used with some success four ■ years ago. To offset the movement the ■ Shank workers are just ns busy as tae I Howe folks pointing out to all those who desire to vote for the antl-Xews-Jewett candidate that the Supreme Court Ht>f Indiana has held that any voter may Regally esk for and vote on any ballot desires in primary election. ■ Mr. Howe and his backers are nlainly Ovorrled about the situation In the negro Beards. The candidate from classic IrvBngton was so affected by reports of ascendancy pouring out of the that he spent all la.-t Saturday cruising from dry beer parlor dry beer joint lip and down the black Hffelt In a taxicab, it is said. ■ HOWE DRAFTS ■ ‘•BILL’ DAVIS. | It was reported that Mayor Charles W. conference Sunday to learn why better progress was not being made. To bolster up their shattered forces in the Fifth ward the Howe camp went to considerable trouble to get “Bill” Davis, former boss of the ward, back Into the ‘•organization" traces. Davis has been out of line ever since the Jewett-Lemeke-Roemler triumvirate compelled him to get ont of the way and let Richard Sipe win the nomination for county clerk. Ia some manner, however, the Howe forces have at least gotten Davis to „ permit them to use his name as being with them and they are losing no opportunity of dropping the information where they think it will do some good. Speakers for Mr. Robison were discounting Davis's usi fulness to Mr. Howe's

Says Profane Men, Women and Stout People Are Honest Special to The Tlmeß. COLUMBUS. Ind., April 20.—Profane persons are more honest than persons who do not use profanity, was the declaration of F. N. Withy of Chicago in an address before the Kiwanis Club here yesterday. Mr. Withy also declared that fat people are more honest than lean ones, and that women are more honest than men. The speaker was a representative of the National Surety Company of New York, and based his declarations on the records of that company. The principal motives for dishonesty in women are poverty and vanity, the speaker further stated. He said* that the Anglo-Saxon race was more honest than most other races and that the Hollanders were the most honest race In the world.

SHANK’S FOrRTH WARD SHOWING WORRIES. The Xews-Jewett crew also Is surpriged and somewhat grieved at the. showing which Mr. Shank is making in the Fourth ward, the largest in the city. There Is beginning to be a belated recognition of the fact that the mayor and bis associates made a serious mistake when they deposed George O. Hutsell, city clerk, from the Republican chairmanship of this ward and appointed In his stead Thomas Stevenson, city attorney. Stevenson has been unable to make any headway whatever against the Shank strength In his bailiwick, particularly l n the North Indianapolis section, where Mr. Hutsell re Sides. With Mr. Shank apparently on the road to receive more votes than ever from the south side, and give the administration candidate a beating in the Fourth ward, while Mr. Robison robbed the News-Jewett combine of Its former strength in the Fifth and Sixth wards, politicians agree that Mr. Howe has a job on his hands over which he may well spend sleepless nights between now and May 8.

SYSTEM WORKED WELL. TOO. Numbers may be confused md hard to keep lh mind, but a line, a verse, a combination of words closely associated in familiar lingo cling to the memor/. The submarine chasers did not have distinctive names, like the destroyers, but were designated by numbers —S. 0. 121, S. C. 38, S. C. 252, and so on. Wireless telegraphy takes numbers accurately, but those who use the wireless telephone at sea have the same trouble in distinguishing numbers and letters as the people using the telephone on land. So, Instead of numbers and letters, words were used to designate submarine chasers when telephoning Into the ether. The commander of one group named his boats In jingles or phnrases. Three boats constituted a submarine-hunting unit. One set was known as* "red-whlte-blue," another as “corn meal-mush" and a third as “hlgh-low-je “Quack! Quack! C -cK!" meant "operate at once!” It became an amusement with the man to make parodies dn Mother Goose and other well known rhymes. Most of these parodies bad to do with the risky job on which they were engaged. Here is one of them, paraphrasing “The Spider and the Fly:” "Won’t you come Into my area?" said the chaser to the sub;

“I’U treat you just as kindly as I would a tiger cub;, I will listen to your motors, I will catch you without fall. And. then I promise I will put soma salt upon ypur tail.” ALPHABET IN WORDS USED. The use of words Instead of letters for the navy flag signals was followed by the subchasers generally. Those down at Corfu, for instance, guarding the barrage across the Straits of Otranto, and chasing Austrian U-boats, had a word for every letter ln the alphabet. The alphabet ran thus. Able, boy, cast, dog, easy, fox, George, have, item, jig, king, love, Mike, Nan, oboe, pup, quack, rot, sail, tars, unit, vice, watch. X-ray, yoke, iced. “Able-boy!" was the code to “Take hunt formation—distance 500 yards." Almost any necessary order or Information could be transmitted by radiophone by means of this code. Here is a typical instance of how It worked when a submarine was heard: Listener of Boat No. 1 reports: "Submarine, 90 degrees." Executive officer: “Submarine, 123 degrees.” Executive reports: “2 (number of wing boat) turbine 112 degrees." Executive reports: "3 (number of other wing boat) submarine 130 degrees.” Captain orders: “Course 123 degrees.’ Executive to radio: “Fox-unit: dog-easy-cast!” Executive to listeners: "Up-tube.” START HUNT FOR U-BOAT. At the order "Up tube," the listening tube Is raised from its position beneath the vessel; the signai-boy beside the mast hoists the cone, the position of which shows the other boats what the engine

of this subchaser is doing; the steersman puts the wheel over, and the vessel heads for the estimated locality of the U-boat. All this is done in a moment or two. If the submarine Is not located, the captain orders “Stop!” the executive orders “Down tube!” The tube, which extends through the bottom of the chaser, is lowered, and the listener strjes again to hear the sound of the U-boa We built over 400 of these H *le sub-chasers—llo-foot wooden boats,l*We let the French navy have fifty, g ley all gave a good account of tbemselv*,, crossing the ocean under their own power and weathering storms which made heavy going for the big liners. ~ They served in our coast patrol and operated ln foreign waters from bases at Queenstown, Plymouth, Brest, Gibraltar and Corfu. There were thirty-six based on Corfu, whose chief duty it was to guard the entrance to the Adriatic ln order to prevent the escape of enemy subs into the Mediterranean, tfco most dangerous stretch of the long water line of communications which the allies had to use. They were part of the Otranto barrage, consisting of mines and three lines Os patrol vessels —the first two composed of British destroyers nnd the third of American subchasers. The Austrians say that barrage accounted for at least six Übonts. GOOD WORK AT DURAZZO. Our subchasers distinguished themselves particularly ln their participation in the attack on the Austrian naval b, a at Durazzo Oct. 2, 1018.

shells. They emerged from the conflict unscathed. The following dispatch from the admiral in command of the British Adriatic naval force, with which they operated, gave me a thrill: "I am most gratified for the valuable service rendered by twelve submarine chasers, under Capt. C. P. Nelson, U. S. N„ and Lieutenant Commander P. D. Bastedo, U. S. N., whom I took the liberty of employing ln an operation against Durazzo on Oct. 2. “They screened heavy ships during the bombardments under enemy fire, also apparently destroyed definitely one submarine, which torpedoed H. M. 8. Weymouth, and damaged, probably destroyed, another submarine. During the return voyage they assisted in screening H. M. S. Weymouth, and in escorting enemy hospital ship, which was being brought ln for examination. Their conduct throughout was beyond praise. They all returned safely without casualties. They thoroughly enjoyed themslves.” RELATES THRILLING EXPERIENCE. The most thrilling experience belongs probably to S.C. 28, one of the fifty we turned over to France. Alexis Puluben commanded the S.C. 28. It was manned by French sailors. In a storm on the night of Jan. 16, 1918, It disappeared. Its sister ships weathered the gale, but it was missing when the sky cleared. On Feb. 18. month and two days later, we heard from It at the Azores, crew and commander safe and well. Puluhen tells a story of danger and hardship. Their engines broke down. Drifting helplessly in the white-capped sea they kept watch for some friendly

craft. Two steamers were sighted that same night and signaled, but to no avail. The S.C. 28 was leaking and the pumps had to be kept going constantly. Next day they saw the mast of a vessel in the distance, and fired a salvo, but the vessel fled. They tried to start the engines, but had no lubricating oil. They used all the salad oil and butter. It was no use. The dynamo burned out. Tbo radio would not work. They took the boat's linen and made sales o? it—a fore-and-aft mainsail, a staysail and a “leg-of-mutton" sail at the small foremast. The crew was put on the smallest rations; drinking water was doled ouL So catching a breeze, they sailed east. They were able to make about four miles aa hour. GETS HELP AT LAST. They sailed for a month. They saw other ships, but no ship dared to let them get near. Doubtless they wero feared as some new trick of the treacherous enemy. Soon after dawn on Feb. 18, Puluhen, sighted land. About noon he recognized It as Fayal, and hoisted the signal "YP” —“I need a tug.” A tug came out and towed him into Horta. The S.C. 28, after undergoing repairs, took up its Journey, and a little later, but far better late than never, assumed its place with the other American-built chasers patrolling the French coast. What better tribute could there be to the seaworthiness of these little boats, or the heroism and resource of the men who manned them?
