Undersea Supply Bases

Bridgeport Comp Correspondence New
 York Times.
 T do not know whether Germany has submerged supply stations for her sub- marine fleet, but such a scheme is feas- lb'e,, said Simon Lake, the builder of submarines, in an interview today.
 "On account of the success of Ger manys hndersea craft in their raids on English commerce" he went on, 1T long ago formed the opinion that they had such stations, and from their latest threat against British commerce, | am more convinced than ever that they have
 The German submarine is practically lake beat in that it is supplied with a diving compartment It is easy for a mar in diving suit to leave the sub marine when it is submerged
 ''The German submarine has the Diesel engine. which uses crude oil It is no great problem to have submerged tanks for crude oil. I long ago perfected such a tank myself. As regards supplies of food, that lis a still simpler problem. It Is cnly matter of packing food in wdtertisht packages
 such stations along the English coast would enalie German submarine to continue it's activities for months These underwater stations would be temporary affairs. and the supplies would be brought by their fast torpedo boats, which could get away after sinking the supplies, leav- inS the submarine behind to continue op- erations
 The large submarine boat can operate 5J0 miles from it's base. That in my opin- ion explains the sudden appearance of submarines in the Irish sea, attacking the British merchant ships

PontO's Fatal Mistake
From the Saturday Evening Pos

From the Saturday Evening Post. One of the few American war corre- spondents who really saw something of the European war in its first stages was coming home on the Lusitania not many trips ago. He sat at the pursers table, and the pLrser one evening told truth- full nature tale of having been on ship that once passed through a school of whales in midocean.
 "All of them were sound asleep" said the purser with a wink to an accomplice.
 '.and all of them were snoring. The noise
 was deafening.'
 Tt must have been." said the corre- sDondent, but when I was boy out in
 Cincirnati there used to be a whistline
 whale that lived in the ocean just in front of my fathers house. His name
 was Tonto and he would answer to it. answer by whistling. You see, his blow l noie was clogged with barnacles and every time he spouted he made sound like siren on fire boat.
 "Ponto was a great pet with all the
 ships that traded in and out of Cincin-
 nati. The pilots got to know him, and when they were entering port and Ponto | cruising about in the channel they would | signal him and he would signal back. <, always giving the correct number of blasts. But he's dead now-poor old i Pontol
 | One day there was freighter coming l in from Covington, Ky, and Ponto tried
 to pass her, headed out. But he got con- | fused and gave the whistle for going to
 the port side when he meant the star
 board, and the freighter ran him down
 and stove in four of his compartments,
 and he sank in nine minlSes, whistlins
 for help to the very last"
 l After which a great silence befell al
 the rtrser's table.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK VERY ENCOURAGING
 -S. H. HUMPHREY Hupp Motor Co. Manager Pleased With Spring
 Prospects

S H. Humphrey, manufacturing man. ager of the Hupp Motor Car company. who has been in Bermuda for the past ncnth, has returned to Detroit to resume his active duties. MT. Humphrey has been recuperating from an attack of malaria.
 During the fall months when the Hupp Motor Car company was crowded to it's capacity, overwork made Mir. Humphrey s physician immediately order him south
 'I tried hard to keep away rom aii excitement" said MT. Humphrey yester- day, but it was impossible to shake off the war On the way over, we were chased for four or five hours by British cruiser. It was only when a shot crossed our bow that our captain ordered the ship stopped. Upon examination we were allowed to proceed. but I want to say that there was a great deal of uneasi- ness among women passengers aboard.
 Business for the spring looks very en- couraging. We are now rushed to full capacity, and I think that the 1915 season win be an excellent one."

WAR EASES MONEY
 MATTERS IN CANADA
Representative of Dodge Car Talks of Trade
 Conditions

Purchases amounting to millions of dol lars by agents of the British and French governments in Canada have resulted i'll greatly relieving the financially situation in the dominion, according to E. P. Clark son, Canadian district representative for Dodge Bros. MT. Clarkson is visiting the factory in Detroit after a tour through part of his territory.
 "Canadian business men have moro available ready cash right now than they have had for five years past" says Clark son. This Is all due to the immense in Aux of foreign cash for purchasing war materials, including everything from food and clothing for the armies to the sup plies of ammunition to keep the big guns at work.
 "Ths automobile business has been one of the first to benefit by the changed con- ditions Not only has there been big increase in sales of cars to farmers. due to the high prices and big profits on grain, but a healthy impetus has been given the trade all along the line
 One of our big implement makers re- cently received an order for 000 show els from an agent of a European power and every factory is working overtime on orders of similar <agnitude. Much of the ammunition, purchased from the big AmerlcdH Indkers, IS solu 10 the brltlsn government through Canadian brokers and here again vast sum of cash is in- volved
 Although the Canadian buyer has been one of the best customers of the Amer ican automobile manufacturer, the trade between the two countries should be greatly increased during the coming year, due to the inability of British makers to furnish cars. I look for a record year in the sale of motor cars throughout the entire country

Five carloads of new machinery have just been received by the Haynes Auto- mobile company, kokomo, Ind.," states Charles T. Tway of the Haynes Automo- bile company local distributor of Amer ica's first car. "Orders for the Haynes light six cars have increased to such an extent that the capacity of the factory has been taxed to the limit and addi- tional equipment has become imperative. The factory is again running 24 hours a day.
 The crowned lenders, which have here tofore been purchased from outside sources, will now be made entirely with in the Haynes factory, in conformity with the policy of the Haynes company of manufacturing the complete car. The new fender-making equipment consists of presses and rolls for forming the crown or convey surface. The most economical method of producing such lenders is that of rolling the fender proper and pressing the ends.
 ''The drop forging department has also been increased in capacity. Drop forg- ings are used in the chassis of the 1915 Haynes light six models co the exclusion of castings. New drop forge hammers have been installed to handle the increas- ing demand for forgings

KENTUCKY VOTERS TODEC|DE ON WORK CONNECTS MAY DO Matter of Building Good Roads to Be Placed
 in Hands of the
 Electorate

10 the voters of Kentucky there is to be submitted this autumn an amendment to the state constitution. which will make it possible for the prisoners of the state to labor outside of the prison walls on roads and other public works. The state con- stitution at present prohibits the use of prisoners outside of prison walls. and their labor is leased to contractors under me old system, which is now being gen eraily regarded IS slavery and abandoned.
 TWO years ago, an amendment providing Tor the employment of prisoners in road work in Kentucky was voted upon and carried by large majority, but unfortu- nately not advertised within the required time, and in consequence the courts oe- cided the action unconstitutional. The Legislature, which met in the winter of 1914 provided that the amendment be resubmitted to the voters, so this year the citizens of Kentucky will again be called upon to decide the fate of the prisoners.
 In the meantime the contracts at the prison expired and q strong effort was made to have them renewed for a term of years. Owing to the persistency of the labor representatives: Miss Linda Neville, the Kentucky representative on prisons and prison labor; the warden of the peni-' tentiary, and others. renewal of contracts was Inaue TOT one year only, hence there will be nothing to hinder the development of the road work, once the amendment is carried.
 Already several of the candidates for governor have declared themselves op- posed to the contract system, and the national committee on prisons and prison labor believe the road amendment will carry by very large majority.
 Kentucky will then be in d position to afford her convicts an opportunity to re- gain their strength and manhood through healthful outdoor work similar to- that which Colorado has given to the men who built the famous Sky Line Drive

 Sees 100 Loaded Ambulances
 Our steamer took over 800 English Iommies returning from a three days holiday at home. On landing at Bou- loRne we saw nearly 100 ambulances loaded with wounded, drawn up at the docks to be loaded on our steamer for return to London hospitals.
 At one time during our trip to Paris We were less than 20 miles from the fir ing line. AS we travelled slowly toward Paris and within few miles of Bou- logne, we ran through a large camp of English soldiers numbering several thou sands. This represents at part of the great movement of British troops from England to France which has com menced For the past 10 days England has sent over an average of 10000 men daily to France via Havre, and this will continue for long time to come.
 "Both Mrs. Poole and myself had to have our photographs taken and placed upon our passports. A very careful rec ord of the passports is kept by the Amer ioan embassy in London, and record is kept there also of all the countries the traveller intends to visit and full par ticulars are recorded with regard to his you must be at least two hours at the station previous to the departure of the continental express for the purpose of careful examination of all your luggage for possible documents or letters in- tended for the enemy.

 An amusing example Of his cleverness in extolling an estate is the language with which he once closed highly colored description of the property he was sell ing. For a few moments he paused, and then said:
