The skipper said it was absolutely through undetected.'' 90 constant and thorough was the patrol to the north. It was his own experience to be halt ed and searched and after being re- leased, his boat was followed by two torpedo boats until it reached it's des- tination.
 Tine thoroughness Of the patrol was further testified to by another North Sea skipper. His trawler was lying along shore, when shortly after mid night it suddenly found itself hemmed in by 8 huge black object, which proved to be British cruiser. It's of f1cers seemed to have had cats eyes. From the dark a voice demanded to know the identity of the trawIer. II was promptly shouted back.
 ssThe name is quite correct, sir came another mysterious voice as- ternn of us" said the skipper. "A submarine had crept up behind us and read our name. Although all o1 our. crew had come on deck to see what was happening, not one of them had seen the submarine appear The whole episode only occupied a few minutes and the cruiser, after wish. ing us Good Morning. and plenty o1 fishing, disappeared in the dark ness

PANAMA TO WAR
 ON OPIUM TRAFFIC

tCorrespondence of Associated Press)
 Panama, Oct 2s.-Panama has agreed to cooperate. with the canal authorities in the suppression of op- 1un1 traffic. Notice has been given to Low Lam. the Chinarnan who has for years enjoyed a monopo1istic conces- sion for the sale of opium in Panama, that his contract will be terminated at the end of thirty days time. By this action the Republic will lose $40, ,000 annual revenue, which was the price Low paid for his concession.
 The abrogation or this, contract sooner or. later had been foreseen since Panama was one of the sigma tories to the international convention for the suppression of opium traffic, but Panama would not be bound to ob- serve the convention until it's general ratification.
 The action is highly gratifying to the canal authorities who have been fighting against a spread of the opium
