AMERICAN CELLARS
RUSSIAN GASES
Natives Glad Liquor Is Prohibit
ed, Says Former Petro-
grad Consul.

DR.. Jacob (. Common. American Con-
sui at Petrograd under President Taft
and who lived in the Russian capital
for several years after his successor
was selected by the present admins
tration, returned to this country last
night on the Norwegian steamship
Kristianiafjord.
He said the Russian government and
people had not the slightest doubt OF
their ultimate success. The evacuation
of Warsaw and Germany's recent occu-
patton of the city, he declared, would
not be looked upon by the Russians as
any suggestion Of defeat.
The road from Petrograd to Archan-
gel, ne said, was being pushed rapidly
and many Austrian prisoners were be-
ing sent there to work or its construc-
ton. Women and children we're help
ing on the work, too, DR.. Conner de-
clared. and great strides were being
made in changing the road from retro
grad to Kola TO broad gauge.
STA had been hailed with delight by
persons of all classes. according TO the
former consul. intoxicating liquor can
not be bought in Russia now, and 1t Is
to be found only in the cellars OF
few Americans, who brought it there
from ether lands.
On the Kristianiafjord came twenty
two girls from the Admral's Ice Pal
ace. in Berlin. All are Germans except
Miss Ellen Lauersen-D ollerup, who is
n Dane. The ballet will be seen this
fall at the Hippodrome.
The vessel was detained nine hours
off the Farce Islands by the British
auxiliary cruiser India, and a request
was made that Willy and Mary I.
Grethen. a German couple, be taken off.
When the lieutenant who boarded the
ship said he had no desire to hold them
a wireless message was sent to London
asking for permission 70 release them.
This was granted, and the German cou-
pie came here.

no more than fifteen miles an hour
The round trip would. therefore, take
at least fourteen days, which would
permit the submarine base to take up
station off the Irish coast for no
more thai six days on each trip.
The calculation of the experts is
simple. Forty submarines are on the
job. Only two-thirds are always on
active service. for each boat must
spend one-third of the time in its home
port. That makes twenty-eight, say
cruising to and from home, or stationed
in the Irish channel or elsewhere.
Each boat can remain out for twenty
days. OF these fourteen are spent in
cruising to and from home port and
the remaining six are stationed az
strategic points awaiting merchantmen:
Therefore, 1t is figured. nineteen OF
these boats are constantly travelling
to and from their home ports, while
about seven o. eight are on station.
lying in wait for prey. Considering
the size of the ocean. these are not
many.
Aeroplanes of Little Aid.
The British are working on the prob
lem of submarine detection and capt
ure. The nets have done excellent
service so far but they by no means
solve the question. Aeroplanes have
been used. but not with great success.
Dirigibles have also beeL sent out
searching the waters, but so far as Is
known they have never discovered any
thing. Perhaps the reason Is that
there is so much water and so few sub
marines. IL mas been decided that aero
planes and dirigibles are useful Tor
scouting purposes only; they have. so
far. no means of attacking submarines.
The number OF German submarines
is bound to increase. as will their EN-
cheney and radius of action. But Brlt-
ish naval experts do not believe that
the percentage Of hits will increase
proportionately; they are certain that
never will Germany's submarine block
ade become a menace TO England's vel
fare. The British scheme of suoma-
rine defence is being constantly elab-
grated. Many new torpedo boats ana
destroyers are being turned out ana
placed in patrol service. The aviation
detection service will before long ne
greatly augmented. But most OF all
the British skipper is learning how
to turn tail and run.
There have been reports here OF the
establishment on the west coast OF Ire
land of a German submarine base.
Search has been made, however, and
the coast is patrolled, but nothing has
been found. II is considered quite pos
sible. however, that the submarines
managed to get close enough TO shore
now and then to permit members of the
crew TO land, and possibly 70 purchase
supplies in villages, or maybe to receive
instructions from German agents.
The figures OF German success from
the inception Of the blockade 70 now
do not show an alarming increase I'D
effectiveness During the last four
weeks in March, for instance, the sub
marines sank twenty-one vessels not
counting fishing craft. They torpedoed
five others, which did not sink. making
n total of twenty-six hits.
During the las: four weeks OF June
the German sank twentysix ships and
torpedoed one other which managed
n make port. During that period IN
March s, los vessels arrived and sailed
from ports Of the United hingdcm.
In June the number was $500. FROM

havoc with British commerce, but 1t
isn't, and the reasons are simple.
A submarine cannot remain away
from its base for more than twenty
days. Neither its fuel capacity nor the
physical endurance OF the crew Will
permit And each submarine must re-
main IN its home port for It least ten
days Tor every -wcnty-day trip, &c be
overhaued and to give the crew rest.
A submarine, therefore. can be used
only two-thirds of the time.
Channel Fenced of with Nets.
For submarine operations in the Irish
Sea. in the English Channel west Of
Dover and on the south and west coasts
Of ireland, where there has been con-
siderable activity. German vessels are
now obliged 10 make long trips. The
Channel, which serves as the entrance
to the Irish Sea from the Atlantic on
the north, a narrow passage between
Scotland and Ireland.
The device used Is the same IN each
case 1t is wire net OF large mesh,
reaching from just beneath the sur
face to the bottom of the sea. 1t is
foated by innumerable glass bulbs SIX
inches through. Many experiments
were made to md the proper float and
glass was finally adopted. 1t was found
that not only would these globes do
the work, but that on the surface they
were practically invisible.
The net between Dover and the
French coast is a gigantic affair, but
it is nevertheless there, spread along
in sections. with openings here and
there known only TO the pilot and
patrol boats which are constantly IN
the vicinity.
From time to time the nets are
moved back and forth, in order TO
change the location Of the openings.
If submarine strikes one of these nets
the propellers quickly become entangieed
and the vessel Is out OF action. Patrols
constantly watch the nets, ike iish-
erman watches a float. II one rs drag
led il is followed, for the FISH that
is caught must sooner or later come
20 the surface.
To reach he Irish coast or channel
therefore, a German submarine must
90 clear around the north coast OF
Scotland. into the Atlantic and around
ireland. II is a trip of $500 miles
and the boat must be ready to make
double the distance for the round trip'

Business Men to Succeed
Youths in Federal lnstruc-
ton Camp and Continue
Battles of Reds and Blues.

From j star Correspondent q TIE rdiunel
Plattsburg, y. Y, Aug. 6.-After q
month of hard work the regiment OF
college students at the United States
camp of instruction near this city viii
disband tomorrow. Many Of the men
will join the business and professional
mems camp which opens Tuesday, but
all who go home will be anxious TO
know whether the financiers, lawyers
and men from all walks of life who fol-
low them will stand the gail as well as
they have.
The college students, who have
proved that in addition to being good
soldiers they are excellent singers,
reached here to-day after a week of
hiking, manpuvring and sham battles.
The latter were bitterly contested by
the Reds" the United States regulars,
and the Blues" the students. The first
three weeks in camp were spent in drill
ing in the manual of arms, target prac-
tce and other military essentials, such
as setting up and taking down tents.
A week ago yesterday the real SOL
diering began, when the undergraduates
started their eighty-mile hike to the
foothills of the Adirondacks. Each day
was marked by ten-mile advance, but
the skirmishing and trench digging.
fording streams and building bridges
brought each mans total nearer twenty
miles than ten.
Despite the long walks-which were
undertaken in clear weather and in
rain-the students were never too tired
at night to burst forth into song. A
few had large repertorys, but most of
the men confined themselves to render
ing three tunes. which were all but
worn out in the month of camp.
These songs were Hail, Hail. the
Gangs All Here" when You Wore a
Tulip and Red, Red Rose" and ITS
a Long Way to Tipperary." The last
was frequently varied by substituting
for Tipperary Clintonville, Silver Lake
or whatever the nights resting place
might be.
College Heads at Camp.
The camp was visited by many mem
bers of the advisory board, including
Presidents Schurman, of Cornell; Low
ell. of Harvard; Hibben, of Princeton;
Garfield, of Williams; Drinker, of LIE
high, and General Nichols, Of the Vir-
GINA Military Institute. Several Of
these men spoke Tuesday night at Sill
yer Lake, with the students Oldiers
seated on the sloping hill.
President Lowell said he was sure

Inspectors Report Completion

Philadelphia, Aug 6.-After a thor

was being repaired, officials of the New
York Shipbuilding Company are con-
WINGED that the fire which swept the
hold of the dreadnought Oklahoma

theory suggested. Government in

TWISTED MESSAGES
BY MARsTON LEE VERNON.

Copyright. 1915. by w. G. Chapman.)
Now do those two errands right
Marvin" directed Leonie Trip to her
little brother, land will give you an
other cookie when you get back"
"Yes'm, III do it," mumbled youth
full Marvin, his mouth full of portion
OF the advance payment
you will leave this package OF
books with Mrs. Dunscombe and say
am greatly obliged. Then run down
to Mrs. Bonds and tell Leslie to come
up to the house tonight about eight
o'clock, as you folks are all going to
be away from home, and we will have
a nice long chat. If Lettie is not
there, leave word with her mother
"Yes'm, I'll do that" pledged Mar
win, and started forth in good faith to
execute his mission.
He was telling off on his fingers the
main points of his errand, wher, turn
ing a corner, alas! boy on the run
drove him directly off his feet, lin
gered for neither apology nor explana
ton, and poor Marvin went headlong
into the ditch. He arose wrathful and
disordered, his wits all astray. There
was little willingness or system as to
the frame OF mind with which he blum
dered through his double errand;
homeward bound got interested in a
game of marbles with some playmates
and forgot to even claim that other
cookie from his pretty sister. Then
later he and his parents drove over to
neighboring town to visit a relative,
and Leonie, left alone in the house,
lighted the evening lamp and sat down
to await the coming of her particular
girl friend and confidant, Lettie Bond.
Now, two strange circumstances had
grown out of the episode of the double
message Marvin had got mixed up
When he arrived at the home Of Mr.
Dunscombe, the new bachelor minis
ter, he found that gentleman away
from home. So he delivered word to
his housekeeper in this amazing fash
ion:
my sister Leonie says to tell Mr.
Dunscombe that he is to come up to
the house tonight about eight o'clock,

as we folks are all going to be away
from home, and they can have a nice
long chat"
At Mrs. Bonds, Marvin found also
Lettie absent, but he delivered the
package of books to her mother, say
ing Leonie had sent them and was
much obliged They were two vol
umes on the subject Of womans clubs,
which the young divine had loaned to
Leonie.
Reverend Dunscombe, shy and re-
firing, listened agape to the message
communicated to him by his house
keeper.
Remarkable" he breathed to him
self. Extraordinary! he burst forth
once alone in his room. ooh, there's
some mistake!"
First. because, he reasoned, Leonie
was the most modest, though charm
ing young lady in the world. Next,
for the reason that he doubted if she
cared enough for his society to endure
his dull company through a long eve
ming
1t was true he had called on her
several times, had loaned her books,
and at the Sunday school picnic she
had been very gracious towards him.
When he compared his quiet, sedate
makeup with some of the brilliant vii
lage beaux, however, Elmer Duns-
combe felt that he was in a decided
minority. Sensitively he had tried to
smother the budding love that had
taken root in his heart.
With all his analysis of the present
situation. he could not get Leonie and
the strange invitation out of his mind.
Perhaps little Marvin had said more
than he had been told to say At all
events. a few minutes before eight
o'clock that evening Mr.. Dunscombe
strolled in the direction Of the Trip
home. An irresistible loadstone
seemed to pull him along.
Then the timorous young man trem-
bled quite as he noticed light In the
ell of the house, where seated In an
arm chair was Leonie. Should he ven
ture? Yes-no. Finally he mustered
courage sufficient to open the gate
His heart beating nightly, he started
around for the side entrance to the
house.
He stood In the shadow near the
steps, debating with himself a. to thu
