SAYS MANY GERMAN
 SUBMARINES LOST
OFFICIAL REPORT TO u. S. GOV. EMINENT ESTIMATES 50 TO
 70 OF THEM DESTROYED.

WaShin gton.-Great Britain has dis covered and put into effective opera tion means of combating the subma- rine which, according to official re- ports to the United States govern ment, already have resulted in loss estimated at between 50 and 70 Ger man submarines. The reports de clare the British Admiralty confident ly believes it has crushed the German submarine campaign.
 New methods of offense and defense that may revolutionize naval warfare have been adopted and high British naval officers believe that unless the effectiveness of the submarine is in. creased, it will no longer constitute the menace that it has to commerce and battle fleets.
 While the greatest secrecy is thrown around the means employed, the United States government has in- formation concerning the principal methods which have been successful in meeting the German war zone cam paign. A submarine telephone has been developed by which it is possible by sound by observation boats of sta tions planted off shore connected with points in the mainland.
 For the capturing of craft whose presence has not been detected or even suspected, the governments reports describe how huge nets have been spread broadcast around battleships and near steamer lanes.
 Armed patrols watch and. when the floats holding the nets disappear be- heath the water showing that a sub- marine has become entangled, the pa- trols congregate at the place and when the victim comes to the surface to dis entangle itself, it is destroyed by gun fire or captured.

CHAPTER XXI.
Into the Desert.

A week after the caravan of the Due de Fremont lief Algiers, Julia Red mond came unexpectedly to the villa of Madame de la Maine at an early morning hour Madame de Ia Maine saw her standing on the threshold of her bedroom doo..
 "Chere Madame" Julia said, "I am leaving today with a dragoman and twenty servants to go into the desert
 Madame de Ia Maine was still in bed. At nine o'clock she read her pa pers and her correspondence.
 Into the desert-alone," Julia, with her cravache in her gloved hands, smiled sweetly though she was very pale. ''I had not thought of going alone, Madame" she replied with charming assurance, 'T knew you would go with me-"
 On chair by her bed was wrap. per of blue silk and lace. The com Jesse sprang up and then thrust her feet into her slippers and stared at Julia.
 What are you going to 60 in the desert?"
 "Watchi"
 "Yes, yes!" nodded Madame de Ia Maine. And your aunt?"
 Deep in bazaar for the hospital, smiled Miss Redmond.
 Madame de Ia Maine regarded her slender friend with admiration and envy. Why hadn't I thought of it? She rang for her maid.
 Because your great-grandfather was not a pioneer!" Miss Redmond answered.
 The sun which, all day long, held the desert in it's burning embrace went westward in his own brilliant caravan.
 4The desert blossoms like rose, Therese."
 Like rose?" questioned Madame de la Maine.
 She was sitting in the door of her tent; her white dress and Ter white

Meaninu of Yankee.

Tn, re are several conflicting the ories regarding the origin of the word Yankee. The most probable is that it came from corrupt pronun- citation by the Indians of the word English, or it's French froN Anglais. The term Yankee was originally ap- piled only to the natives of the New England states but foreigners have United States and during the Ameri- can Civil war the southerners used it as term of reproach for all the in- habitants of the North.

First Bill For District
Registrars Comes In
To County, Clerk

The fact that every rose has a thorn
as well as an odor and that very new
county or state office created has
small fee attached 40 matter how in
significant the office, was brought out
this morning when the state board Of
health sent in a bill for $23.25 to tao
county clerk for payment. The bill
represents the fees for the registration
of births and deaths in this county
since the new law went into effect
rreating district registrars.
The county health officer in past
wears has been obliged to register the
births and deaths as part of the regu-
lar duties of his office and he made no
charge for the registration and only re-
ceiyed fees for actual work done on
professional calls and inspections. The
last legislature divided the county in
to districts and appointed a district
registrar in each district who receives
the reports from the doctors who form
erly reported to the county physician,
The district registrar is allowed 20
cents eacn for registering births and
deaths and makes his report direct to
the state board of health and the coun-
ty pays the bill.

BOatlOad Of Survivors
Not Accounted For

London, Nov. 15.-What happened to
one boatload of survivors of the Italian
steamship Bosnia, torpedoed by an Aus
trian submarine, was still in doubt here
today. Some reports said that three of
the lifeboats had been accounted for,
but there were fears for the fourth.
Announcement of the sinking yesterday
did not state the location, but it was
presumably in the Mediterranean.
The Bosnia is the third victim of the
Austrian undersea boats.

Austria has opened definite subma-
rine campaign against Italy followed up
by the campaign Of "frightfulness," " in
which her ally Germany INDUCED for
