OFFICIAL DENIAL BY
 THE BRITISH EMBASSY
That a British Cruiser Recently Had
 Visited Chesapeake Bay.

Norfolk, Va, July 27-Of1Cial denial by the British embassy at Washington that a British cruiser recently had wis tied Chesa peaEe bay was received in silence by naval officials here today, but from other sources it was learned that there was no disposition on the part of any of the men on the battle ship Louisiana who reported that they saw d ship which signalIed English cruiser to change their stories.
 On at least two points, that the Un identified ship had the general out lines of g cruiser and that she sig nailed she was one, at least five of the Louisiana's men agree, it is said. 9th saw certain other details about the ship which convinced them she was a man Of war.
 Government officials thus far have been unable to ascertain that any Warship save the United States collier Neptune was near the Louisiana at the time the signals were said to have been seen. Persons on the Louisiana also have said they saw and recognized the Neptune near by shortly after the unidentified ship passed. While naval circles within the capoS were 0Etrated with the cruiser mystery today, the neutrality squad Of United States war ships and the allied patrol spent @ which has been on patrol for several days steamed eastward out of sight to- day and Q French cruiser replaced her.
 Only one French cruiscd was dis caTnible from land today, but 1t was reported here that two. the Descartes and the Condo, were not far from the neutrality squad

gospel meetings and Bible classes. Should a prominent religious worker be near the border, efforts will be made to take him from camp to camp, in order that he may address the men. Dr. s. Parker Cadman, of Brooklyn, chaplain of the 23rd New York In fantry, has already agreed to address the men in the camps as far as he Is able to do so. Men were enrolled in Bible classes at the state mObiliZa- ton camps and this is epeCted t. be 8 most interesting and steadying feat UTo of the religious work at the border branches. The Association building will be available for religious ser vices conducted by the chaplains or by visiting ministers of any denOmina- tion.

 Outpost duty, guarding the railroad lines, Is exceedingly lonely, Every bridge, culvert, hill and other point where the use of explosives might cut the railroad line used by the troops is guarded by attachments of different strength averaging perhaps fifty men. The hardshlpa of this life in the open, without the accommodations even of well-ordered camp ,are very great, One of the secretaries of the Young Mems Christian Association. on a re- cent trip of inspection, asked a sol- dier who was reading an almanac ct one of these outposta if that was all the reading matter he had in his camp, The reply was; ''Yes. and every man here got 1t before I did"

This place is just opposite from ths ol camp grounds. We are now $500 feet above sea level With plenty of high mountains around here you can get some fine views. There is Q cool breeze blowing all of the time. The thermometer seldom gets above 90.
 The only thing we have to pest us now is rattle-snakes. There have been quite few of them killed, for they are all hunting them to get their skins. Company l. has got the honor of being the nearest company of militia to the Mexican border. Our camp is only 500 feet from the border, and al the boys wish we was 500 feet the other side. The only work we have to do is five hours drill each day. Company L has got a baseball team that issues a challenge to any company in the outfit The team contains some of the best players from the Thread City, besides Francis Dougherty of the fast Yantie team and myself. Arizona's mountains might be pretty, but I would rather see the little old hills of Connecti- cut.

George D. Lynch of 6 Rock street, East Side, received this interesting letter, from George o. Lynch who went with Company L of WiIlimantic to the border. He describes the conpany's arrival at the border and some of the incidents of camp life. He writes:
 Eogales, Ariz.,
 July 21, 1918.
 We arrived here July 3. about 3.3O o'clock. We had to wait at the station for about an hour, waiting for orders before we could proceed to our camp, which was about one mile from the depot. As soon as we arrived there we had to cut cactus and sage-bush, before we could pitch tents.
 The auto trucks could not get into camp on account of the sand which was way up to the hubs in some places. We were here about a week when the rainy season started. And then we found out we were in an old river bed, and just as soon as it start ed to rain hard the water would keep coming up until the water would be about six inches deep. After that happened a few times they decided to change the Connecticut troops over in back of the Twenty First Infantry.

Men on duty along the railroads will be visited by secretaries who will use the trains, dropping off at the outp0sts with supplies of books, magazines, newspapers and writing materials. The men at points remote from the railroads will be reached by secretaries on motorcycles. Nothing will be left undone which will bring cheer and companionship to the fel- lows who are doing outpost duty.

TRAMP STEAMER MISTAKEN
 FOR GERMAN SUBMARINE.
Arrival Off Sandy dco< Caused Some
 Excitement,

New York July 27-After persistent reports had been circulated here for two days that the German submarine merchantmen Bremen had arrived off sandy Hook. some excitement was caused tonight by the appearance in the lower bay of Q small vessel Of flow visibility"
 The craft, which vixen first seen was lying so low in the water it was barely discernible was the Norwegian tramp steamer AIderrey. from Bombay The darkness, coupled with the fact tha- the British steamer Adriatic closely followed, caused many. persons along the shore, who thought the AL derney was a submarine, to rush to telephones. Operators in the various newspaper offices were kept busy for some tirne answering inquiries from all parts Of the city.
 It was not until the Attorney had passed some distance into the harbor that persons who had caught a hay outline of her were convinced she was not a submarine.
