The ill-fated U.S. submarine 0-9, which sank 24 miles off Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire, in 102 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 sul marines 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.

GAULLE AS

AS A LEADER

In March 1916, in the glorious inferno of Dounu- mont, a young Captain, grave- ly wounded for the third time since the beginning of the war, was captured on the battle- Geld. On five occasions he attempted to escape and five times he was recaptured. But neither reprisals nor persccu- 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:

a

"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, lender will have to appear whose judgment is indepen- dent, whose orders are irresia- tible, and who is well thought of by public opinion. He must be in the service of only the state, free from prejudices, disdaining patronage. He must be firmly committed to his task, absorbed in far- reaching plans, well-informed about the men and things to be dealt with. He must be a leader who is at one with the army, devoted to those de cominande, eager for respon.. siblity; a man strong, enough to compel, clever enough to porsundo and great enough to earry through a great task. Such will be, the minister, soldier or politician, to whom tha nation will owe the next reconstruction of its forces."

The man above described in da Gaulle himself, and he

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". Onè 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 înfantry 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 to whom an incapablo Generni Staff had refused the means to conquer.

And what is more, his now strategy which would have provented disaster, de Gaulle,- Indefatigably, year after year, had never ceased in his books, to preach to empty bonches,

It is a Frenchman, who as carly as 1034 demonstrated that a war of movement would In future have the advantage

over the strategy of massed men; it is a Frenchman who assigned to mechanised armies and motorised units an essen- tial and decisive role. But, unfortunately for France, it is a German General Staff who put into practice what a French mind had conceived. General Guderian, creator of the German mechanised army, acknowledges in his books that General do 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, better still, to pesce
