 Several times the blue coats were necessary to hold down the hilarity in "Bleachertown." It was all good nat ,iredly, though. and nobody seemed to care. They had to be entertained in some manner.

thoritatively here Sunday night that the
firm had handled contracts amounting TO
more than $500, 900, 900 for the account or
foreign governments since the war be-
gan.
OF this amount about $4Oc,OOo,ooo worth
has been purchased for the British gov
eminent since the Morgan firm was ap-
pointedas agents for that government IN
this country. and 600 worth for the
French government contracted for with
in the last month, the Morgan firm hav-
ing been appointed by the French Gov
eminent to act on the same capacity as 1t
does for the British government. About
$150. 000,0 900 worth Of war supplies were
purchased for the British government IN
this country during the early months OF
the war, which the Morgan firm had
placed in part. About one-half OF the
total amount contracted for in this coun-
try represents contracts for ammunition,
shells, powder and the like, but of the
whole amount of ammunition contracted
for only small part, it was stated, had
been forwarded to the purchasers. The
remainder Is now being manufactured.
The Morgan firms commissions for
a sliding scale, which began at two per
cent. and decreased in proportion to the
magnitude of the contracts. All the con-
tracts. it was understood had been
placed with firms in the United States.
The Morgan firm, it was stated, had not
given any contracts to firms in which it
was interested.
1t was explained that Of the total OF
$450, 0o0, 600 worth of war supplies con-
tracted for by the Morgan firm only
small proportion had been paid, although
advances have been made to some firms.
This explanation was given to correct the
impression that the large purchases Of
war supplies had been responsible for the
fall in foreign exchange. The low quo
tations were due, it was stated to the
enormous purchases in this country of
grain and foodtsuffs.

BURGLARY
MADE IN BANGOR

Bangor. Me, July 5.-A burglary
which astonished the police by its bold
ness, came to light Saturday mornins
with the opening Of a clothing store
on Central street, few steps from the
police station.
From appearances, two burglars
who had forced an entrance from the
rear, had selected two suits Of clothes
after looking over several hundred,
picking out shirts, underwear, ties, etc.,
with equal care.
These they put on in the basement.
where they left their much-worn
clothes.
They also opened the cash registers
and ransacked desk drawers looking
for money. but got none. A cap left
behind had the mark Of Lowell,
Mass. dealer.

can invasion Of any enemy country.
That. they declare, has always been
the theory Of the navy department and
accounts for the fact that no great ef-
forts have been made to obtain ap-
preparations for swift battle-cruisers
such as those employed by the British
and German navies. Lacking mer-
chant marine to be protected and be-
ing a self-contained nation, fully able
to support itself with the resources
within it's own borders, they ar
que that battle cruisers have not been
considered a necessity to the United
States navy and the attention has been
concentrated upon getting the greatest
possible number Of heavy battleships,
floating fortresses to defend the coasts.
That theory. also accounts for the low
err speed of American superdread-
naughts it is said, and the greater
concentration of gun power in ships
lar ships abroad.
With fleets of submarines stationed
along both coasts and with navy yards
equipped to care for them, those Off
GERS argue that even the battleships
could be spared from the defense line
and that no enemy would dare ap-
proach with ships and transports a
coast we'll mined and defended with
land guns as we'll as submarines. The
risks would be too great, the chances
Of overwhelming disaster too many.
1t Is certain that Congress will be
asked to provide literally in auxiliary
ships for the present navy, particular
ly as to parent ships for submarine
fiotillas. Navy officers are obtaining
all possible data on German and Brit
ish submarine tenders and may pro-
pose the construction Of several Of
those vessels so designed as to be able
to raise sunken submarines or even
to take aboard and transport for con-
siderable distances several Of the lit
tie fighting ships. Reports have reach
ed the United States Of several such
ships In the European navies.
1t is also probable that a number Of
swift scout cruisers will be recon-
mended and that a consistent cruiser
program will be proposed designed to
give the navy an ample fleet of these
ships within a few years. AS yet,
however there Is nothing to indicate
the recommendation Of battle cruisers
at this time. The department, it is
intimated. probably will content it.
self with laying before Congress a full
presentation of the arguments for and
against that type.
