Naval officers said the submarine had

900 miles from the nearest English port
A naval officer said today that ship

Sweden are threatened by this new
British submarine activity.
On the other hand, he pointed out
that for diplomatic reasons England
might prefer to use her submarines
only against warships and thus avoid
giving countenance to the German sub
marine war on shipping.
He said that an active fiotilla of Eng

Reports On Gas.
During the year the commission
Issued regulations for gas service. for
the extension of gas mains and gas
services. and for electric service. The
regulations for gas service took the
place Of those which had been In ef-
feet under the Commi ssioners of the
District of Columbia. The principal
changes are the substitution of CAL
orihc standard for an Illuminating
standard. the introduction OF maxi
mum and minimum limits Of pressure,
and the provision for the conduct by
the gas utilities under the supervision
of the gas inspection bureau Of a large
part OF the meter testing which had
formerly been done by the bureau IT

gas consumed at the present time Is

RECRUITING PROBE
Department Of Justice Contin-
ues Investigation Despite
Representations Of British.

The Indictment OF more than twenty
men at san Francisco and five at Chi
cago by Federal grand jurtes, II was
announced today, will not halt the In
vestigation< by the Department of Jus
tice into violations of American neu-
trelity by agents Of foreign govern
ments.
Further arrests, and possibly grand
jury action at New York, is expected to
result from an exhaustive investigation
which has been under way there for
weeks.
The. proceedings against Montenegrin
officials will be confined. It IL believed,
to the criminal proceedings at Chicago.
Alleged violation OF American neutral
ity by seeking enlistments for the al
lied armies is charged.
Activity of the Department Of Justice
in its investigation OF neutrality VIOLA
items on the Pacific coast will be con-
tinred. officials said, and further indict-
ments are expected.
The names Of the persons indicted at
San Francisco have not been forwarded
to the Department Of Justice. There
are several arrests yet to be made. and
the district attorney at San Francisco
feared, evidently. to telegraph the
names until all arrests were made.
1t Is known, however, that all the
twenty indictments charge violation of
the American neutrality Of one kind or
another. either by enlisting recruits or
conspiring to aid In their enlistment, or
furnishing supplies to warships.
The last named charge is directed
against persons who aided In directing
the movement of the steamer Sacra-
mento when 1t coaled and provisioned
the German raiding feet of the coast
Of Chile. after sailing under the Ameri-
can flag from San Francisco with a
cargo for Valparaiso. The Sacramento
was vessel of the Hamburg American
line before the war, and later took out
American registry. There were charges
that those responsible for the vessels
actions not only violated American neu-
trality, but tricked this Government In
obtaining American registry for the
vessel.
