Henry C. Frick, at whose homo the
Frenchmen aro staying, entertained
at dinner In honor of the commission.
Among bis guests were Colonel Tbeo
doro Roosevelt, Charles F. Hughes
and Ambassador .lusserand. The
toasts proposed were "To Franco anil
Our Guests," by Mr. Frick; "To the
t'nited States and Our Host," by M.
Vlvlanl, and "To the Presidents of
the United States 'ind France," by
Colonel Roosevelt. Co'onel Roosevelt
sat at the right of Marshal Joffre
and they conversed animatedly in
French.
At tho evening session of federal
court Wednesday night the jury
reached a verdict- of not guilty
against Eldwell Riddle, Foster Bark
ley and Harry Brown, Klamath In
dians who were charged with bring
ing liquor on the reservation. The
jury was out on!y 35 minutes. This
was the second trial for the defend
ants, the first trial having been held
at Portland last winter, the jury dis
agreeing. The evidence showed that
the accused were gloriously drunk on
the reservation, yet the government
failed to introduce convincing proof
that tho liquor was drank on the res
ervation. Today the case against Tom Bartel
charged with selling whisky to an
Indian is on trial.
l.r.to Wednesday night, shortly af
ter their arrival in the city in custody
of Deputy United States Marshal Wil
liam Harmon, Ylewey Oencbain nnd
Tommy Wabtab, two Klamath Indian
boys aged about 17 years, were ar
raigned before Judgo Wolverton in
federal court on a larceny charge. Tho
boys blended guilty to the charge of
breaking into FHiott's traders store
on the reservation and stealing $3 in
money and a small quantity of mer
chandise. Because of their youth and previ
ous good record, on recommendation
of Assistant District Attorney Gold
stein, the court sentenced the boys to
30 days confinement In the Multno
mah county jail at Portland.

BY .7. HKKHERT DUCKWORTH.
NEW YORK, May 10. Ctipt. Ron
nld Skinner' o the new British
freighter Lyndhurst Grove, described
to me today the newest way the Brit
ish admiralty bus of lighting the
U-boat menace, which if not curbed
will, it is claimed, bring the whole
world face to face with food famine.
While methods change from month
to month, according to dipt. Skinner,
the f!)0 Amerienn-bnilt "chasers" are
now playing an important part in de
struction of the under-sea terrors.
It has been semi-oi'ficially report
ed that 48 German suhmnrines were
ruptured or sunk during tho first
two weeks of February.
Hunt in Pucks,
The chasers hunt in packs. Sea
planes fly over the waters of the
war zone and when they spot a sub
marine send out a wireless to the
mosquito' patrol giving the locution
of the enemy.
The senplano circles above the sub
marine like n monster fish-hawk and
in this way directs the aimed niotor
bonts to their quarry.
Ninety-nine times ill a hundred the
submarine has submerged before the
chasers call reich tho signalled ren
dezvous. But this does not necessarily mean
the submarine has escaped. After
gathering at the spot where the sub
marine has submerged, the chnsers
then scatter in nil directions, radiat
in from the tell-tale U-boat bubbles
like the spokes of a wheel. Working
in pail's they drag light nets nnd
troll for the submnrine.
Contact Homb Used.
When an obstacle ix. encountered
that experience tells the siib-lieiitcn-ant
in charge of these small warships
is a submarine, n conflict bomb is
sent sliding down u wire to the sub-!
merged vessel.
There is a muffled roar, n great
commotion on the surface of the
water, and another crew of u twen
tieth century pirate ship lias gone to
Davy Jones' locker.
This method of fighting the sub
marine is made possible by the fact
that most of the wuters of! the coast
of the British isles are comparatively
shallow. In any case a submarine
cannot go down further than Kifl feet.
The French lire using dirigibles in
addition lo seaplanes for the spotting
of submarines.
Another form of observation nir
craft used by the French is the sau
sage balloon which is towed over
suspicious ureas by tugs or oilier
small fleet uiixiliaries.
The English have also, if is said,
invented n powerful aerial bomb that
will destroy a submarine if exploded
from ns far awav as lit) feet.

Never before has the demand for
Ford cars been as heavy as it is now.
To become such a necessity the Ford

sal economy, serving and saving
