TRAPPING SUBS Joe Can't Help Singing, So

THRILLS SAILOR

Two U- Boats Destroyed by British Ships During Night Hunt.

A BRITISH PORT, March P.) —The destruction of two man U-boats, a phase of the seldom mentioned in official dis patches, was described today by a merchant seaman, who said he had a grandstand view and that it was the “most thrilling experience of my life.” (The dispatch indicated that the seaman was in a convoy attacked at night by a pack of U-boats.) Warships, with “hunt” signals flapping from their yardarms charged into the attack, throwing! out depth ch#rges, the seaman said “Star shells and Verey lights illuminated the sKy Searchlights swept the water. There was a series of dull explosions as the depth charges went off. Great columns of water was hurled up. The water scarcely had settled back before the first U-boat broke the surface. It was badly battered and as I watched, it split up and slipped back into the oily sea.” More depth charges thumped into the sea, the seaman said, and soon the ocean trembled with muffled explosions. Then the second U-boat Jerked into view. “When she broke the surface the warship's guns go a salvo and] the U-boat was blown to pieces before my eves,” the seaman said He said that several of the of the first submarine were thrown into the water and were picked up by the British, and that there were a few survivors of the second submarine

He Goes on

By EGAN LECK

IT ALL STARTED just a few nights ago in the cocktail lounge of one of our downtown hotels. Waitresses moved back and forth silently as two strolling musicians went from table to table, playing request numbers. They came to a table at which three men sat. One in the middle had an infectious charm, strapping chap at whom strangers just grinned unconsciously. The musicians started to play a

song and the big man started to |

sing—softly at first so that no one could tell where the music was coming from. Then the notes swelled and the room was filled with rich, golden tones. The atmosphere was electric. People stopped talking. They stopped drinking. They stopped smoking . . . and just listened. n n » WHEN THE SONG was ended, deafening applause filled the room, Requests tumbled over each other, The singer grinned and nodded. He sang again and again and again Someone hurried downstairs to the adjoining supper club. The word went around, as such things do, and one by one the tables emptied. the halls, whispering the word. People came into the cocktail lounge hurriedly and carelessly dressed. They stood jammed shoulder to shoulder and listened. When the singer grew tired he and his companions left, Question after question tumbled out, but nobody seemed to know who the man was or where he had come from. His name is Joe Grant He's 28. He can’t read a note of music, He loves to sing. When he does,

he just opens his mouth and lets |

it pour out—full and rich and melodic.

JOE GRANT has been trying for years to get his break. Always something has gone wrong. Today out an impromptu, spur-of-the-moment song-—he has his chance Because one of the persons who

It has acquired by confiscation 19 merchant ships, “arranged” with the owners of six Norwegian registry, and confiscated four seagoing fishing boats and six yachts. The tonnage involved, exclusive of the yachts, is about 55,000. Eighteen of the vessels were seized during the Norwegian campaign Five steamers and the fishing boats were taken in French harbors after the Armistice which the court said made no difin this regard.
