MYSTERY SSIIIIPS TRAPPED U-BOATS LUDED UNDERSEA CRAFT TO DESTRUCTION British Aclzuiralty Reveals Some of the Exploits of a Fleet of Decoy Vessels. One of the most exciting chapters of the War against U-boats is a series of aecnunts of notable engagements between leritishodecoy ships and the submarines, made public by rite Brit- ish Admiralty. While the whole story of the part played by these decoy ves- sels, "mystery ships" or "Q" craft has not been revealed, it is evident that several of them were used to lure. the undersea craft to destruction, Sonne incidents in this campaign al- ready have been made known, dealing chiefly with a few of the exploits of Commander Gordon Campbell as mas- ter of the decoy vessels; but others in which he and other captains partici his brethren, James and Joses and not well.

Aluminum has found an immense number of uses in the groat war. For the sake of lightness, it is largely em- ployed in flying machines, to re -en- force the framework of the wings as well as for the bodies, and most par- ticularly in the construction of the en- gines. All sorts of camp equipments are made of this metal, from soup kettles to tent plus, The list is too long to recite, Each fighting man's mess kit Is of aluminum—his meat case his spoon, etc. His canteen is of the sa.zne .material. When he goes into the fight, his most important and `effective weapon is contumely his hand grenade. It is loaded, very likely, with a powdered mixture of aluminum and potassium nitrate. Nothing could be snare harm- less than eithel separately, but when a detonator causes 'them -to enter into :sudden chemical combination, they f`urnislz a frightful explosive.

One cubic yard of ordinary clay contains about 800 pounds of alumi- num. Such being the case, one might he puzzled to know why aluminium at a few cents a pound is so dear. The reason Is simply that chemical science up to elate has been unable to dis- cover a means whereby the metal can be cheaply separated from clay. At present the principal source is a min- eral called "bauxite," found in scat- tered and limited deposits, which is a pure oxide of aluminum. ' Some day the problenx of se, crat- ing aluminum from clay will be solved, and thereupon. will he ushered in the aluminum age with a veritable revo- lution in the world's industrial af- fairs, The metal will to a great ex- tent g tent take the place of wood. There will be aluminum ships, aluminum bridges and aluminum furniture. Cit. les will be built of aluminum. • Largest Motor Vessel.

"After four years of war, into which it was dragged against its wish, years • associated with misery. and privations, the German people has liberated itself from internment.•The people were the slaves of a barbaric system without parallel in history. Like you, the Ger- man people now stand at the open door of liberty, almost blinded by the brightness of the light emanating from the sun of freedom. Therefore leave without any ill -feeling or hat- red, and do not hold the Gprman peo- ple responsible for the deeds com- mitted by its former autocratic lead- ers. Tell your countrymen that the former ruling classes are utterly powerless and the German people has taken firmly the reins of government in its hands. Tell them it would be a grievous mistake to prevent the sup- ply of foodstuffs to Germany because some excitement still prevails. "And now, gentlemen, good -by. Tell our country men in England that, now that Germany has east off its chains, on their return they will 'find a free, united Germany. Long live our newly acquired freedom!
