GERMAN SUBMARINE
WAR BEGAN FEB. Is
Kaiser's UnderSea Boats
Have Sunk Ships of
Many Nations.

On February the German govern
mcnt published its "War Zone Proc
lamation," declaring the waters ad-
jacent 10 the coasts of Great Britain
and France after February IL zone
Of war. The announcement was
greeted with scorn in England and
frank disbelief IN neutral countries.
Five days later Germany informed
this government that any protest OF
the German governments war zone
proclamation would he considered an
unneutral act. The United States re-
piled on the 18th, stating that Ger
many would be held to strict &C
countabiity" for American lives or
vessels lost through the enforcement
of the proclamation. Two days later
Germany repeated the warning.
On the 18th Germany announced her
intention of strewing the seas in the
zone with mines if the Allies persisted
in barring food from her ports. On
February Is her proclamation went into
effect, and on the same day Sir Edward
Grey asserted the right of the allied
nations to starve cut Germany.
L. s. Repeats Warning.
The United States government on
the day after the proclamation went
into effect repeated its warning to
Germany that that. government would
be held to "strict accountability" for
causing the loss of American lives or
ships.
The Norwegian ship Beldidge was
torpedoed on the goth in the North
Sea. Four men were drowned with the
sinking of the British park Cambank
next day; on the ODD the American
freighter Evelyn was sunk by mine
off the German coast, the Carlb, also
an American vessel, going down IN the
same sea on the 24th.
The 25th saw the sinking OF three
more British ships, the Oakley, the
Rio Parana and the Harpalion, the
last losing three men. This had an
immediate effect, for the American Sec
retary of the Treasury made ships sail
ing for British ports special wal
risks for government insurance" On
February % the Allies announced their
intention of stopping all trade with
Germany, and Great Britain, Weeh
later declared that the crews Of sub
marines captured would be tried, APP
parently for murder and piracy, at the
end of the war.
Germany's reply came on March 10
when three British merchantmen were
sunk, with a loss of thirty-seven lives
A day later the Prinz Eitel Friedrich
entered Hampton Roads, and it be-
came known that she had sunk the
William P. Frye, an American grain
shin fying the American flag, in the
Pacific on January %. The German
government suggested the matter &c
before a German prize court for ad'

CALL EXPERT TO FIND CAUSE OF
 ELECTRICAL LEAK

Prof. Charles F. Scott, instructor in electrical science at Yale university, and one of the foremost electrical ex- perts has been called into consulta- ton by the electrical engineers of the New Haven road in an effort to de- termine how the current leaked from the overhead system at Stamford, causing the death there on January 12 of Frank Ligori, a Stamford bar Der.
 It was rainy on the date mention ed and for several days before. En- gineers Winchester and Gilligan of the New Haven road have establish ed that at II o'clock on the night Ligori was killed there was a, leak age from the overhead system which was absorbed in the rails on the tracks passing through the Stamford railroad station.
 Lgori met his death at ' o'clock that evening and how great the leak age was at that time cannot be de- termined. Ordinarily there is a leakage of about 40 volts which is considered a harmless quantity Prof. Scott's aid is to pe asked in determining how the electricity es- caped and also how to prevent a sim liar occurrence.

 While the French war reports have had little to say about individual of fcers, it is known that Gen. Jofre's, right hand man is Gen. BethoIet, the chief of staff to the French com mander in chief Gen. 5Bertholet has not had an opportunity to perform any brilliant feats in the field, for his job, one that keeps him busy twenty-four hours a day with only little time for maps between his Tnul-. titudinous duties, is to keep his chIef informed as to everything that hap pens along the long battle line. His room at headquarters is the center of hundreds of telephone and tele- graph wires, connecting with all the French armies. A great map shows every hi ighway, lane, river brook, swamp, hill, village and many other details of the country occupied by the armies. On this map, by means of pins of various colors and sizes, Gen. Bertholet keeps track of every unit of the allied army. Whenever the chief of staff receives word by tele- graph or telephone that any force along the front is being hard pressed, his map shows instantly the location of reenforcements. Every change in the battle front, no matter how un- important, is marked on the map by a change~ef pins. Keeping this map up te the minute is job for sew eraI men, but Gen. Bertholet is re sponsible for it's perfection, and it is said that since the war began he has
