"During the war the Alllei built and; eitablliiied radiocompau atatlona on the! aouth coast of Ireland, the coast of England and the writ coait of France. The German lubmarlnea used their radio very freely, nofc knowing that these compasses existed. Tfceytelked to each and they even polutfUuntt'ghe French stations, called up tiva -French radio tauoni and joshed them. MK'ATINfl SI IJH j "Every time a submarine used his, radio, hla position was cut tn from! these radio compass stations on shore.! Hla position was plotted on a chart In the operations room of our heed- quartera In Brest. Each message gave the submarined call letter, so that we were able to plot successive positions of the same submarine. "After studying their movement for aome time, we discovered that they operated In a rectangle, extending p-proalmateiy 400 miles off shore but leaving a gap of about a hundred miles south of them between the bottom of the rectangle and the coast of Spain, and also a gap to tbe eastward near the coast of France. They apparently had elected the crossing of trade routes In the Bay of Biscay, the eaat and west-bound shlpa to the coast of France and the north and southbound route to Gibraltar and the Azores, and In the beginning of tbe war they had decided to oorupy that rectangle. "We never got them outside of that rectangle except on routes to tbe Azores and coming to and from tbe Mediterranean. .vr.r.TiNo roNovs 'Our method was to meet the convoys 500 mile o34hre with our dea-troyers. The destroyer before leaving Brest, ware given tkrre routes, A. B. and C A being the best route. That gen trail 7 waa to the southward of this rectangle. Then up to the northward would be B and C through the rect angle. "Our deatroyert flashed the word contact' as soon as they got the convoy and thereafter we controlled their move ments from Brest. -IX this southern route which they generally uaed remained clear of sub marine, we had no further communication with them until they got to port. But if a submarine appeared threatening that route on the way to the Azores, or the route to the Mediterranean, we would dmply tell them to uae route B or C."

I1Y MTItKMK t'OCKT WABinNQTONrrj.C, Jaa? 2J (By Canadian FretS ffia some respects the biggest economic issue facing the United StaUa 'is tbe valuation ot the railroad. The Issue has reached a point where It will soon be up to the Supreme Court to lay down, tbe principle that ahall govern in that valuation. 8trange as it may seem to those not familiar with the facts. Congress either cannot or does not exercise the power to determine what rules shall govern In the Valuation of great public utilities such as the railroads. That power has been taken over by tbe courts, although there are many lawyers who do not accept tbe doctrine for which the corporate interests of the country are successfully contending that valuation ia a Judicial process. But in any event, the Supreme Court tn a few days la expected to listen to arguments in the case Involving the valuation of the Los Angele and). Salt Lake Railroad.

Whit' the raUroada are seeking Is to gat tbe Supreme Court to lay down tbe proposition that the valuation should be reproduction value. In other words, i the railroads contend their properties are entitled to be valued on what It would cost to reproduce them today and that this should be the value for rate- making aad all other purposes. The commission values the roads at about 120,000,000.000- If the reproduc Uon value theory la upheld by '.he Supreme Court, it la declared tbe value will be shot upward to 155.000.000.000.

MEASI RE OF V.tLl'ATIOX The Supreme Court cot long ago in an Indianapolis public utilities case up held the Idea of reproduction cost as the proper measure of valuation and supported a 7 per cent return. Any such finding as to railroad valuations would mean that freight and passenger rates In this country would have to be more than doubled. Of course, that would be more than the traflic would bear and In the long run such an enormous valuation would undoubtedly mean - a vast deflection of business from the railroads to the minor trucks and the waterways. Strangely enough, only .a few of the farm leaders and leaders of the agricultural group tn Congress have awakened to what Is going on. It Is obvious, however, that if railroad rates are going to mount upwards as threatened, the farm relief legislation now talked of will be ot no use to tbe farmer since he la already burdened with great rates cf which he gravely complains.
