New York, Oct 14.-When the White Star liner Bowie sighted an eastward bound submarine in the Atlantic yesterday morn, ing she was apparently in pur- suit of a Danish passenger ship, the Hellif Oliva, according to observers on the deck of the Bowie, which arrived here to- day.
 The nationality of the sub marine was hot established. The Bowie, in fear of attack put on full speed and headed direct ly west. At the time that. she. passed out of sight of the other two vessels, the Danish boat still seemed to be endeav6ring to escape from the submarine. The weather was clear and the Hell liz Olava was between two and three miles distant at the moment she was first observed with the submarine about one mile astern. This was about s:3o a. m.. when the Bowie was ap- proximately 200 miles east of New
 The Helfis olava left here on Thurs day for Copenhagen and other Scan- dinavian ports, carrying 36 passengers in the first cabin, 37 in the second cabin and steerage passengers. Many of those in the cabins are Americans

SITUATION IN NORTHERN MEXICO IMPROVING, SAYS
 WILSON; PRAISES TROOPS

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 14.-Pres- ident Wilsdn, in a letter to Governor Whitman, of New York, sent October g and made public here today, declared that the emergency which caused the sending of the militia to the Mexican border ''unhappily still exists" He added, however, Chat he believed con- ditions in northern Mexico are inn proving and that in the "near future it will be possible to S"do more than has. been done to relieve the embar- rassments under which organized militia regiments have necessarily suf- fered."
 Whitman in answer to a letter from the New York executive regarding the New York militia organizations on the border. The President told MT. Whit man that it was impossible to set a date on which the remaining New York regiments there could be re- leased.
 The President, in his letter, declar- ed he had been advised by the war department that a withdrawal of the militia at any time since they were sent to the border would in all hu- man Likelihood have been followed by fresh aggressions from Mexico upon the lives and property of the people of the Uunited States
 In his letter. the President paid tribute to the character of the militia men and denied that any organizations were being kept on the border to per- feet their military training.
 The Presidents letter follows:
 My Dear Governor Whitman: I have received, your letter of Sept 20 and have taken up with the Secretary of war the situation as it affects the presence of New York troops on the border. From the beginning of the difficulty which necessitated the call for the militia, I have been deeply sen- sitive of the inconvenience caused to the members of these citizen military organizations by their separation from their families and from their ordinary business engagements and pursuits
 "In order to minimize these sacri- fees, the war department is sending to the border from time to time militia

which have not participated in the service there and as each fresh con- tingent goes to the border, General Funston selects for return to their home stations and mastering out such units as in his judgment can best be spared. This, policy will distribute this duty over as wide an area as pos sible and make its burden fall as equally a4i is prachcabie upon the or ganizefl. militia forces. It has ale ready resulted in the return of a number Of New York organisations. 'The emergency which led to the call of the militia was, as defined in my call of June IS. the possibility of a general invasion from Mexico and the protection of our frontier. This emergency still unhappily exists and ties that withdrawal of the militia at any time from the date of its call up to and including the present would, in all human likelihood. have been followed by freah aggressions from Mexico upon the lives and the prop erty-of the people of the United States. The militia have therefore have been used and are being used to repel in vasion and are rendering services of the highest quality and most urgently needed character to their country.
 Tt would. of course, be Impossible to set a date at which the release of the remaining New York units can with certainty be accomplished. I am happy, however, to believe that the condition in northern Mexico is ip- proving and that, in the near future, we will be able to do more than has been done to relieve the endorsements under which these organized militia regiments have been necessarily suf- fered. I share your admira, Non, my dear Governor, for the spirit lin which these men have served and are serving their country and would be<very sorry if 1t were supposed that their reten- tion on the border is for any more purpose of completion of their military training or any less commanding pur- pose than the preservation of our from tier from aggression.
 Very truly your, N

WOODBRIDGE ALSO
 FAVORS FLOWERS .. FOR THE LIVING

Judge w. T. Wooldridga is another of Pine Bluffs citizens who believes in resenting flowers while tn, re. cipient is alive and able to appreci- ate them, this belief being based upon the fact that Fire Chief A. C. Briener yesterday received a highly complimentary letter, and a check for $10, from Judge Woodbridge.
 The chief and the members of his departm are just ordinary men, and like ordinary men, they take pride in their work, and naturally like to know that their efforts are ap- preciated, hence their pleasure yes terday over the letter from Judge Woodbridge can be easily imagined.
 Judge Wooldridge's letter reads as follows: .#5H-
 Please find enclosed herewith my check for $1O, for you and the mem bers of your department, as small evidence of my appreciation of your, and that of your assistants, quick and efficient work in eXtinguishing the fire in my servants house on the night of the eleventh instant, and re- sulting in the saving of my residence.
