some interesting details of the web of
activities which radiated from the

that Kayser's pro-Geimanism went to
such an extent that he frequently
questioned members of the little
flock regarding the munition making
of Gary's steel plants. and forwarded
them to German officials in Washing

OF SUBMARINE WAR

LONDON, Aug 27.-For the first
time since the German submarine
campaign was inaugurated, the Ad-
miralty has confirmed reports that a
large number of u boats have been
destroyed. the news having previously
been kept secret in the fear that 1t
might be of aid to Germany.
The newspapers today laid stress
upon that portion of yesterdays otfi-
cial statement dealing with the sink
ing of a submarine off Ostend. which
carried the confirmation. Some of
them urged that the Admiralty now
take the public into it's confidence and
announce just how many German sub
marines have been captured or de-
stroyed since the submarine war was
begun on February IS.

 q SATURDAYS DANCE { e WAS SOME TACKY |

The dance last Saturday evening brought out some weird costumes. It was a real time. Hnarity marked it from the beginning and everyone felt so good" that it came as near be- ing a rough house as good taste would permit. So anxious was everyone to live up to the rules in the matter of dress that the dance was a sort of compromise between masquerade and a barn dance. It would be i'm possible to mention all the strange dresses and rigs. Mrs. BalderSton probably took the bun. She looked like a frowsy country girl who had just come to town and wanted to be citifed. Mrs. Forgy looked like the ahem, eccentric old lady that brings eggs to town in basket. Sid Ander- son was her male prototype, only worse. Crit To'man was dressed as a member of the Red Cross but the cross got displaced. Sam Sou2coG with very slight change looked like a second hand Jew. Mrs. Ward was a bashful milk maid and Tommy was dressed something like whipper-in. Engineering Commissioner Roper was an Eskimo and had 8 parka that smelt like the real thing.
