STEAMER BALTIC
PROTECTS ITSELF
FROM SUBMARINE

New York, July 15.-As a protection
against gun fire from submarines, a
shelter of sand-filled bags was piled
along the decks of the White Star Line
steamship Baltic that sailed today for
LIVERPOOL with 314 passengers and a
full cargo, part Of which consisted Of
ammunition and war supplies.
Unusual precautions were taken by
steamship officials to protect the Bal
tic prior to her sailing. In addition TO
the usual guards, a Gordon of private
detectives was thrown around the en-
tire pier and along the bulkheads.
No one other than known members
of the crew and identified passengers
were allowed within 20 feet Of the
ship. AS further precaution the
space between decks was screened
with heavy canvas.
While cases OF ammunition SKI feet
swung from the long arms Of the
cranes on the pier to the vessels hold
special agents stopped and opened ev'
cry hit of baggage taken aboard. No
grip or a trunk escaped inspection.
The big cases of ammunition contain
ed, it was estimated. 30,s00 rounds o.
small arm cartridges apiece. Other
cases it was understood. containfC
shells Twenty or more aeroplanes als(
were hoisted aboard.
When the Baltic pulled out she was

MOVE TO PREVENT
SUBMARINE WAR
H., REACHING THIS
SIDE ATLANTIC

St. Johns n f. July 11.-(Corre-
spcnderce of The Associated Press.)-
Provision fer an effective patrol of the
ocean arose around the east coast has
been taken by the military and naval
authorities of Canada and New Found :
land, with a view TO preventing the
Germans establishing submarine bases
in these regions if they have any in
tection of so doing.
Rumors Taken Seriously
Recent reports in the Canadian and
American press that the Germans
were planning to extend the range Of
the activities Of their under-sea yes
sells to this of the Atlantic and par
ticularly TO the st. Lawrence route
lave been taken seriously here and on
the mainland.
At the present time, the east coast
Of New Foundland and the seaboard
of Labrador are felt to be compare
lively secure because there is such a
quantity Of field ice in the north At
lantic that submarine craft probably
would not venture into these waters
and if they completed a landing it is
thought it would be on the Canadian
sea board. Later the same waters will
be filed with fishing vessels on the
GrandbaAks and vast number OF
smaller boats operating from all parts
Of the coast of this island or cruising
along the Labrador seaboard. The
authorities have confidence in the Wig
lance of these vessels to make it diff
cult for the approach of submarines.
Safeguards Taken
Governor Sir Walter Davidson is
authority for the statement that Al
British and French warships are pa
trolling the North Atlantic, occasion
ally stopping off American seaports
when there are rumors that German
or Austrian ships may leave them. 1t
is stated that this latter contingency
is SO remote that probably all those
ratrolling ships would be released for
scouting against German submarines
at the first alarm that submarines
we're making their way across the
ocean.

Gorham, Me-. July 15.-(Special.-W
on the new dormitory for the Gorham
Normal school is progressing rapidly.
The masons are at work on the brick
work Of the upper floor Of the main wing
and the excavation is being completed
for the west wing. This dormitory when
completed is to have the dining room
and kitchen both for the new dormitory
and for Frederic Robbie hall. The dining
room takes the larger part of the first
floor of the main wing and will have ia
BILE room for nearly 800 persons. This is
a beautiful room with large windows on
three sides. The ceiling is supported by
steel Orders placed across every 10 feet
and is to be finished with lathe and plas-
ter and covered with simple but attrac-
tive steel ceiling. The kitchen and serv-
ing rooms are to occupy all of the first
floor of the west wing and they will be
ample in size and furnishings to provide
the board for all who can be seated in
the dining room. Over the kitchen are
two floors, the help having the rooms on
one side and students the rooms on the
other. The corridors Of the helps rooms
connect with the rest of the building only
by way Of the kitchen. Over the dining
room, are three floors .or roomers. All
except the corner rooms have two win
dows. These corner rooms have circu-
To nd Iol
three windows. All the rooms have two
closets and the rooms will be furnished
with two single beds. There are in all 4s
rooms besides rooms for the help and
matron and the bath rooms.
The electric equipment for this dormi
tory is both convenient and adequate.
The house is provided with house tele-
phones and in each room is a call bell
connected with a common switch near
the matrons rooms. There is a trunk
elevator in the north end of the build
ing connecting with each floor and with
the trunk storage room in the attic. This
storage room will be we'll lighted and
easily accessible.
There was a great deal of interest
manifested in the choice of rooms in the
new dor1nitory by members of the second
year class. The first two rooms chosen
were the rooms on the southeast and
southwest corners of the third floor and
the next one was the tower room on the
northeast corner of the second floor
While there is a choice in rooms there
is no room in the whole building that Is
not exceedingly attractive both in itself
and because of the outlook it has.

placed on the fact that Germany in the
last month has not torpedoed even
enemy ships without warning.
While temporary abandonment OF
the practice of attacking either Amer

warning has considerably lessened ten

which the American government Will

CURIOUS CONVERSATIONS

Erosion of river banks is prevented
by an interlacing Of bamboo laid on
them in Sumatra.
A giraffe Immediately after its birth
measures six feet from it's hoofs to the
top of its head.
Arctic explorers often report the
discovery Of flowers blooming in ice
bergs. The explanation Of this is as
follows: 1t appears that some animals
carry on their feet a growth Of moss,
which is deposited on the ice while it
is attached to the mainland in polar
regions. In time this decays and
forms a shallow soil in which the seed
of buttercups and dandelions often
find lodging, borne by currents Of
wind that doubtless caught them up in
some southern cline. These take root
and bloom when the great cleaning
iceberg floats out to sea and is carried
southwark, where the soft winds melt
the surface and give the plants the
moisture they need.
Not all the names Of British war
ships are high sounding adjectives;
in fact, many Of them are chosen with
an eye for the sailors tastes, and the
name is something that he will re-
spond to with a sense of loyalty. Some
of them suggest the music hall. There
is, for example, a pair Of light cruis-
ers named the Blanche and the Blond.
Just why the name Blanche and Blond
should be chosen for the pair may not
be apparent, but one fancies that
these informal names are we'll loved
by the crews. Again there is a pair
of o7-knot destroyers called the Boxer
and the Bruiser. And, for Americans,
there is no vessel more Interestingly
named than the Maine, the new hos
pital ship which replaces the hospital
ship given to Britain by American wo-
men at the time Of the Boer war and
also named the Maine.
One of the most authoritative year
books enumerates thirty-four princi-
pal morning newspapers and twenty
one principal evening newspapers in
the British isles. OF these perhaps a
score would be in the first rank for in
fluence and importance. The total
number Of daily newspaper is some
times greater than these, but not SO
very much. There are, In fact, 14S
daily newspapers in England, morning
and evening. or considerably smaller
number in proportion to the total
population than is to be found In the
United States. For example, while
the population Of England is equal to
the total population Of Massachusetts.
New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. there are
nearly as many daily papers (141)
published in the state Of New York
alone as in the whole of England.
Some New York towns with 10000
population or less have two daily
newspapers.
