GERMAN SUBMARINES
Continued from Page one)

These small boats have been built in
large numbers in England and it is re-
ported that about 800 of them are being
constructed in the United States and
Canada to be shipped in sections to
Great Britain.
Aeroplanes are described as exceeding
ly useful in locating and following the
trail of submarines. They can detect one
even a hundred feet beneath the surface.
1t is the habit, the reports say, of the
German submarines to slip into favorable
position along the steamer lanes and
lie on the bottom for long periods rising
occasionally to the surface for observa.
ton and other purposes. AS the batter
les are not exhausted by this method,
the boats not being in motion, only a very
brief stay on the surface is necessary TO
renew the air supply and take a hurried
observation. Undersea boats adopting
these tactics have been the most difficult
to catch. Here the aeroplane has shown
its greatest usefulness, as the compare
lively shallow water along much OF the
British coast makes it possible for the
aeroplane operators to see the ships ly-
ing on the bottom. The aeroplaYe notes
the position and notifies the nearest de-
stroyer or patrol boat which speeds TO
the spot and waits for the submarine to
rise.

Late Augusta Locals
CONY HOPES TO
WIN GAME TO-DAY

The Cony High school football
eleven has been put through some hard
scrimmages the past week, following
its victory over Skowhegan by mar
row margin, and is in fit shape for the
duel with the pupils Of Ginger" Fra
ser. who will race the pigskin into the
Cony line Oh Reuel Williams field this
afternoon. The game will be called at
o'clock sharp. Manager Elmer Thyng
has arrangements for the game well
in hand and Coaches Clinton r.
Thompson and Livingstone Goodman
have been showing the Cony lads a
few things that Waterville will be glad
to learn.
Ginger" Fraser's boys are said to
be in form for hard, fast game but
they will have to crowd hard to get
through the Cony line and will find it
necessary to develop smart speed to
get around the hustling ends. The
probable lineup gives promise Of q
game we'll worth seeing and Cony is
ready to fight every inch of the ter
ritory which the Waterville High
school boys are coming down to dis
pute. An excellent spirit prevails and
followers Of the game may expect to
see clean exhibition of the sturdy
game this afternoon.
The probable lineup which will
stand between Waterville and the
towering sticks is as follows:
Dennis, lie; Luce. 1t: Tyler, lg;
Lathe, c. Cram, rg; Jones. TT: Howes,
re; Taber. lib: Martin. fb: Sprague,

Boston, Oct. IA reunion Of por-
ton of the Progressive party in this
state with the Republicans is probable
AS a result of the platform planks to
| be submitted tomorrow to the Repub-
lican State convention. according to
Republican leaders who took part in
the preliminaries tonight. Although
the resolutions committee maintained
silence as to its report. 1t was under
stood that the committee had agreed
to incorporate the suggestions of
Charles s. Bird and Joseph Walker,
Progressive leaders. who had announc-
ed themselves ready to support Sam
uel W. Mccall, the Republican stand
ard bearer, if this platform favored
biennial elections, a short ballot and
the calling of a constitutional conven-
ton.
Nd. Mccall, speaking at the might
before" gathering. told the delegates:
The civil war which has divided our
party for several years is over We
will present a united front in the COM
ing campaign. IT needs onl.- little
work by the sectional leaders to elect
our ticket"

WHOLESALE THEFTS
AT YARMOUTHvILLE
ON THURSDAY NIGHT

Yarmouth, Me-, Oct 1.-Several
breaks were made last night or early
this morning at the Yarmouthville
postoffice and three stores, while at
tempts were also made to enter 9TH
ers. The sheriff's department was no.
tilted and also the postoffice authori-
ties here. Sheriff Ernest Lewis of this
place assisted by Sheriffs Hartford
and O'Neil of Portland are at work
on the case and Sergeant Herman
Haskell of the Portland police depart
ment has also been called Postoffice
Inspector Hart was called at an early
hour this morning.
Ihe value of the goods taken will
not total large amount The store
of Harry Marston was entered and
many neckties and possibly a few 9TH
er articles removed. The store of Max
Bernstein was also visited and a con-
siderable amount of dry goods re-
moved. Storer Bros store was also
entered and watches and other arti-
Giles taken. An attempt was made to
enter Cooks drug store but the en-
deavor was unsuccessful
The postoffice does not report any
thing of value removed. The office is
a fourth class one and no attemp,
was made to open the safe or strong
box
1t is believed that the breaks were
made some time between . and this
morning.
There was a thecry early after the dis
covery of the breaks that local partie
might have been concerned in them, bu
up to late hour there has been moth
ing learned that would tend 20 substan
tiate the idea
There have been many strangers NTH
town of late, some of the undesirable
characters who have been following tn
fairs and there is belief that some o
them were responsible. All of the break
were made by forcing the doors or win
dows. There is another theory tina
tramps are responsible, hoping to- get
goodly quantity of small goods carried
in the stores and dispose of their wares
No disturbances were heard during tn
night or early morning, and apparent.
the guilty parties worked unmolested
The fact that SO many places were enter
ed without difficulty and the fact tina
many of the goods were carefully select
ed, tend to the belief that some tw,
hours were consumed in making tn
rounds.

BELIEVE NEGROES
were WORKING ON
own ACCOUNT ONLY

Portland, Me-. Oct. although it
Negroes who are alleged to have killed
Night Waterman ST. John at the Ed
wards & Walker building Monday
night and stole a number of valuable
revolvers might have been the tools
or agents of some one else in com
hitting the burglary, the police are
now of the opinion that they were
working entirely on their own account,
and they had conceived the idea
themselves. 1t was at first thought
that they were either members of a
gang who were securing arms to go
up through the State and do larger
Jobs or were perhaps tools Of some
brighter mind, which had planned the
burglary. 1t is now believed, however,
that they worked independently of
anyone else. so far as planning the
break was concerned at any rate. The
connection which Bogus Bill Har-
ris is alleged to have had with them
was after the crime when il is al
legged he assisted in protecting one of
the Negroes from the police.
Whether or not the revolver which
was used against 81 John has been
discovered is still a mooted question.
The police yesterday recovered a
shiny nickle-plated revolver from a
local pawn shop which was pawned
Wednesday by a Negro. e. ]. Platts of
the John P. Squire Co. Wednesday saw
two Negroes pawning something, the
other standing outside and watching in
all directions. He thought that as the
revolver carried by the Negroes in
the store had not been discovered, the
two at the pawn shop might be dis
posing of it for the suspects. He re-
ported the incident to Officer Henry
Stevens, who went to the pawn shop
and found the weapon. AS the Negro
who is supposed to have pawned it
could hardly have purchased it, it is
thought the revolver might have been
given to him by one of the two sus-
pected Negroes for him to dispose of
The police are now hunting for the
Negro who had the revolver to give
him q chance to explain how he got it.
but 1t is possible that he had been
among those undesirable Negroes who
have left town in the last few days.

FRENCH EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES
sinful ThNE0US EXPLOSION OF
SEVEN Mines THEN the CHARGE

The evening before the forest pre-
sentcd the ordinary aspect, but IN

were moved down by shells and soon
the woods were transformed into a
field of stumps emerging from jun

occasionally by shrapnel. This hre

one mans helmet, but its force was so
spent that he escaped with a grazed

Al ! O'Clock in the afternoon the
guns ceased firing and we were order
ed to attack again. Machine guns
which the Germans had placed on their
tanks. soon were put out of action 1t
was difficult going in the woods. Inc
men stumbled over branches but on
the other hand holes torn in the
ground by shells gave shelter against
machine gun fire. These guns were
Cunningly concealed in pits. armored
with steel plates. The barrels protrud-
ing through narrow Sits were invisi-
BILE from a distance and they sent at
us whitening fire. But our men didn' |
hesitate. From behind tree stumps and
from the pits they kept hurting a con-
slant stream of bombs and soon
drove the Germans out of the woods
which remained in our hands,
