RENTS ROOF TO

One Property Owner Profits by Sub-
 marines Visit to Extent of $10o.

Somebody beside the Eastern For warding Co. profited by the arrival of the Deutschland. Ambitious photog- raphers and moving picture men strove in vain to get view of the sUbmersib1e Wednesday. Their ef- forts up to afternoon were futile. Then some bright mind conceived the idea of mounting his machine on the roof of g. dwelling on the embank- ment near the office of the New Lon don harbor commission. He was giy- en ready permission by the owner for the small fee of $5. He communi- cated the rate to his associate artists and it is estimated that the said owner collected approximately s10O in this manner.
 Still another film operator took a more desperate chance and hired the use of pile driver and tug. Climbing to the topmost point of the driver, placed close to the floating fence which protects the Deutschland, he clicked away at his leisure, with good results. Owners of small boats ran close up to the fence, climbed the masts and got good look at the un- derSea freighter,

HOW ASSOCIATED PRESS ANNOUNCED ARRIVAL OF U-5a Norwich Received News as it Was
 Flashed About the Country.

It is over the shoulder of an Asso- ciated Press telegraph operator that history may be read as it is written, says the latest issue of the Service Bulletin of the Associated Press. On the afternoon of Saturday. Oct 7th at 2.29 o'clock there could have been read this bit of history in the mak- ing:
 Boston, October 7.-second inning. second half; Lewis up. Ball one. Foul Strike one. Ball two. Ball three. trSike' two. Lewis walked. Gardner up. Gardner bunted safely
 FL-A-S-H-
 Newport, R. l., October LA Ger man submarine has arrived here"
 It was thus while the attention of the newspapers and millions of their followers was riveted on the opening game of the worlds series and thous- ands of miles of leased wire were humming with the play -by-play ac- count of the game that one private in the ranks of the Associated Press cor respondents flashed one of the greatest news beats of the war-just as Gard ner bunted.
 story that has developed on this side of the Atlantic, in connection with the war; and the manner in which that story was covered by the Associated Press is itself a story.
 The New England headquarters of the Associated Press at Boston was busy office on the afternoon of Oct. 7th, for it had added to it's usual rou- tine the task of reporting the open ing game. Boston was at bat; three of the Red sox were already on bases and two men were oWt Hooper was up and everybody was waiting in sus- pense to see what Hooper would do when the telephone boy answered a call.
 Hall of Newport is calling" he an- nounced.
 One of the editors took the line with M. w. Hall. the day correspondent of the Associated Psess at Newport on the wire.
 "A German submarine is coming in to the harbor," he exclaimed. We have seen it coming in."
 Are you sure? ?" asked the Associat- ed Press
 Pretty sure," said MT. Hall.
 This was 2.16 p. m. Even with a trusted correspondent there is an ele- ment of danger in flashing news within four minutes Boston had the government radio station at Newport on the long distance telephone and eight minutes later it was able to con- firm the report and flash it across the continent.
 In the meantime an assistant to Frank M. Wheeler. the night cores pondent of the Associated Press at Newport, was making desperate eff forts to get a telephone wire to Bos- ton with the same news. It happened that MT. Wheeler's paper, the New port Herald, was being served with baseball news over a wire from the Associated Press in Boston, and over this MT. Wheeler's man sent the first news that the submarine was a naval vessel. To MT. Wheeler belongs the greater share of the glory of the "beat'' for it was he who was first to iden- tify the U-53, and bring a complete report from her.
