KOLN AT BOSTON

Boston, Aug. 1.-THE German
steamer Klein arrived here from Bre-
men today, having eluded four Brit
ish cruisers during the latter part of
her voyage, according to her comman-
der, Captain Jachens.
The Koln left Bremen on July 20

the British cruiser Drake, but was
saved from capture by fog. The next
day she passed near the Venerable,
and two days later was within 10 miles
of the Suffolk. The steamers course
was altered three days ago in order
to avoid the Essex which was heard
asking Halifax by wireless for news
of German vessels.
The Koln reached the Maine coast
yesterday and skirted along shore, in
side the three-mile limit until she
reached this port She will discharge
her cargo here and her passengers will

WATERvILLE TOURISTS
Friends Hear Little Since the War
Mantle Settled Over Europe

OF the half dozen or so Waterville
people now in Europe very little has
been learned in the last few days. The
last to be heard from was Mrs, w. b.
Arnold who with the Misses Scam
mon of Boston, was In Paris, July 20.
In letter addressed to her SON, F.
G. Arnold, dated that date, she stated
that there was intense excitement In
Paris. but Judging from the letter she
felt no special concern. Her plans
were laid to sail on Aug. % on the
Mauretania for New York. A recent
edition of the New York Sun con-
tanned a partial list of the American
tourists who had reached London an
registered with the citizens commit
tee and Mrs. Arnold's name was among
those. Further than that nothing has
been heard. The Sun states that all
persons whose names appear on the
list are having their wants attended TO
IL thew need assistance and prepara-
lions are being made for their passage
home.
Prof. r. w. Crowell Of the Colby
faculty is abroad with a touring party
He cabled soon after the war broke
out to Mrs. Crowell. asking for funds
Through the State Department at
Washington. Mrs. Crowell has tried to
forward the funds necessary for his
return. Since the first cable, which
was sent from Germany. nothing has
been heard from the professor.
Frederick A. Shepherd was last
heard from the gath or July. In let
ter to his mother he stated that he
would be in Bennington, England, on
Aug. g. Mrs. Shepherd is under the
impression that he will leave Chris
tiania. Aug. IL. on a steamer scheduled
to sail for America.
Father Cory, pastor of the Netre
Dame church who has been passing
a few months at his former home IN
Langeac, France, was to have sailed
from Marseilles Aug 8. Father Martin
received a letter from Father Cory
dated July "a. but it contained no
comments on the situation at that
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Stobie, Miss
Florence Stobie and Miss Catherine,
Horne of Winslow are now In Scotland.
The last written communication from
them was dated July rs. They made
no mention of the European trouble
or of their intention TO sail for Amer

in no way inconvenisnced by the,
trouble across the channrl. >,

gredicnt used. Pyrites ore, which is
used in the manufacturing of phos
phate, is imported from Spain. This
is used in making sulphuric acid, al
though the acid is furnished in small
er quantities by copper shelters. An
other ingredient is nitrate of soda,
which comes from Chile, South Amer
lea, but is brought here in English
ships, but this will be impossible under
present conditions. The amonia comes
from England and Scotland, which is
of course out of the running at pres
ent, The one ingredient which Is
found in America to any extent is the
phosphate rock which is brought from
Florida. This is also exported to a
large extent and will of course af-
feet the manufacturers of fertilizer in
other countries, The Belfast plant is
tho only plant in Maine manufacturing
phosphate, although there are num-
Der of distributing stations. In Sears
port the American Agricultural Chem
zeal CO. plant is under the same con-
troll as the Coe- Mortimer, there the
stuff Is bagged and shipped but not
manufactured. Both the Searsport and
Belfast plants employ large number
of men and the busy season starts up
in the fall.
