The ill-fated U.S. submarine 0-9, which sank 24 miles off Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire, in 402 feet of water, is shown above moored at the dock in Charlestown, Mass., Navy Yard, alongside her sister ship. Below is an air view of submarines combing the waters in an effort to locate the lost craft. The plane from which the picture was taken was also engaged in the search. The tremendous pressure probably crushed the submarine like an eggshell.

DE
GAULLE AS A LEADER
In March 1916, in the glorious inferno of Douau- mont, a young Captain, grave- ly wounded for the third time since the beginning of the war, was captured on the battle- field. On five occasions he attempted to escape and five times he was recaptured. Bul neither reprisals nor persecu- tions could get the better of him. And when the victory of our armies liberated him, the man was well, tempered who gave himself entirely to the service of France.
In his book, "The Army of the Future", published in 1934 one reads:
+

"In order to bring into being the professional army, and in order that that army should be provided with the material and with the new spirit with- out which it will never be more than a will-o'-the-wisp, leader will have to appear whose judgment is indepen- dent, whose orders are irresis- tible, and who is well thought of by public opinion. He must he in the service of only the state, free from prejudices, disdaining patronage. He must be firmly committed to his task, ubsorbed in far- reaching plans, well-informed about the men and things to be dealt with. He must be p lender who is at one with the army, devoted to those he commands, eager for respon- aibility; a-man strong enough to compel, clover enough to persuade and great enough to carry through a great task. Such will be the minister, soldier or politician, to whom the nation will owe the next reconstruction of its forces.".... The man above described: In do Gaulle hush, and hạ

seems to have foreseen then that the time would come for him to be a leader. Never in the long history of France, neither at the height of her power nor at the lowest mark of her weakness, has Frenchman held this astonish- ing and simple title: "Leader of all free Frenchmen". One must know well a man who, has this title to understand how much.he is worthy of it. Worthy to be a Leader and what is rarer still-worthy to command free men. For such is the spirit of France that these two words-which would conflict in the tongue of her invaders-blend admir- ably in hers.
Charles de Gaulle was a Leader during the last war, at. the head of his company of infantry in Belgium, in Cham- pagne, at Douaumont. He was a Leader again during the first phase of this war-of this war. which continues for him- when, as a young general, he ordered his tanks against enemy positions and reaped, under the walls of Abbeville, one of the rare successes of an army always brave, but 10 whom an incapable General Staff had refused the means to conquer.
And what is more, his new strategy which would have provented disaster, de Gaulle, indefatigably, year after year, had nover ceased in his books, to preach to empty bonches.
It is ́a- Frenchman, who na early as 1934 demonstrated that a war of movement would In future have the advantage

over the strategy of massed men; it is a Frenchman who asigned to mechanised armies ad motorised units an essen tial and decisive role. But, unfortunately. for France, it is a German General Staff who put into practice what French mind had conceived. General Guderian, creator of the German mechanised army, acknowledges in his books that General de Gaulle is a precursor and a master. Thus the army that the, Reich has built up against France, it is Franco who first could have organised it against the Reich and reduced Hitler to defeat or, bettor.. still, to peace through fear of defeat.
Even during this war, when de Gaulle, practically In extremis, renewed his warm- inga, onco again the General
Staff would not listen. Was one afraid of the truth? Was
scared of # French victory? It is now time for Frenchmen to compare this man with those who have made their nest in defeat!
But to command free men, it is not cuficient to be leader. One 'must also find himself incapable of claves. General de commanding Gualle does not resemble the European dictators, these centauri who`ndd a bust of man to the animal mass of their peoples, He need not make inflamed speeches, but when he must explain what the Free French are, he says, in a quiet and simple volce: "Two ways were.open. My companions myself have chosen that of honour. They aro not "his men." They are not his soldiers." They Gro"his companions," The men who follow, de Gaulle will follow- him to the end, but if they full in battle, it is not his numo that they pronounce last, it is the name
