NO FURTHER TRACE
 OF THE TWO SUBMARINES.
Close Watch Being Kept Along Coasts
 of Maine and Massachusetts.

Portland, Me, Aug. 8.-No further trace had been reported early today of two vessels believed by the coast guard lookout who sighted them to be sub marines which appeared off the Maine coast near NIachias yesterday. Cross Island, where the lookout was station ed, is at the mouth of the Bay of FUndy and close to the British ter ritOrial waters off the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
 The possibility that enc of the ves- sels might have been the German merchant submarine Bremen, long ago reported to have left a German port for the United States, aroused much interest and resulted in a, close watch along the coasts of Maine and 9Iassa- chusetts throughout yesterday and last night The Cross Island lookout esti- mated the speed of the boats at 10 or 12 knots an hour. At that rate, keep ing close to the three mile limit, they would have had time to reach this port early today. To reach Boston, follow ing a similar course, would require eight or ten hours more.
 The haze off the shore today made it difficult to see vessels plainly and it is probable that a submarine the size of the Bremen could have come to the surface for a short time without being discovered even though sharp watch was being kept for it all along the coast.

 FORD DELIVERY CAR.
