NORWEGIAN VESSEL
 LOSES SUBMARINE

London, Detc. 12.-The Norwegian steamer Solvang has arrived in an Esg- fish port with a story of having es- caped from German submarine when thes hawser with which sl. was towing the U-boat parted in the mid dle of the night. Her own captain, however, was left aboard the raider.
 The Solvang, according to the story, was stopped in the Strait of Gibral- ter by a submarine, which had both German and Austrian, officers on board and was told to take the U-boat in tow, as she desired to proceed to the Ma deira islands without waiting for oil fuel. The steamer was instructed that she would be expected to wait near the Madeiras to bring the raider back.
 The submarine was taken in tow on November 29 after the ships mas ter had carried the steamers papers aboard the U-boat. Several hours af- terWard the American steamer Virgin ian was sighted. The submarine dropped her hawser and submerged, but resumed the tow when the Amer jean vessel disappeared. On the night of December 1 the hawser broke and the Solvang drove ahead at full speed, escaped in the darkness and steered for an English port.

BACKING A THEATRE.

Here is an account of the sacking of a theatre in New York from the Ga zette of that city of May 8. 1765:
 ''The play advertised to be acted last Monday evening having given offense to sundry and divers inhabitants of this city, who thought it highly inn proper that such entertainment should be exhibited at this time of public distress, when great numbers of poor people can scarce find means of sub- sistence, whereby many persons might be tempted to neglect their business and squander that money which is necessary to the payment of their debts and the support of their families a rumor was spread about the town that if the play went on the audience would meet with some disturbance from the multitude.
 This prevented the greatest part of those who intended to have been there from going. However, many people came, and the play was begun, but soon interrupted by the multitude, who burst open the doors and entered with noise and tumult. The audi ence escaped in the best manner they could Many lost their hats and other articles of raiment. A boy had his skull fractured and was yesterday tre- banned. Death is his. Several oth- CTS were sorely set upon and injured. But we heard of no lives lost. The multitude immediately demolished the house and carried the pieces to the common, where they consumed them in a bonfire.

 Postal cards will be widely dis tributed throughout the city which only require mailing to bring an ex- press wagon to the door. Trunks marked for each large city in the country will be kept at the main sta- tion whereby packages may be distrib- uted immediately upon receipt and as soon as one receptacle is filled will be taken directly to cars.
 Beginning Dec. Is, an additional force of help to cope with the expect ed rush will be kept at work both night and day.

submarine f1otillas, far larger and bet ter than the present ones, is an abso- lute certainty. The submarine has proven its worth, and while it may not decide wars, it certainly can raise tremendous havoc among an enemy.
 Moreover, nations do not declare war as leisurely as was the fashion in the past. They aim to strike a vital blow first and declare war afterwards. The argument comes after the declar- alton. not before. Thus if an inter- national crisis impends, it would be simple matter to station a few hum dred submarines in close proximity to our shores near the points, where our battleships congregate, say at Newport News or at Narragansett Bay or any other important point.
 At given moment it would be easy for the enemy to approach our ves- sels at dawn and sink our entire fleet. or at least cripple it so seriously that
 we could not effectively prevent a
 landing. That would be the begin ming of the end!
 Let our pacifists who scoff at this
 idea reflect on just what occurred
 when the German war submarine the U-53-suddenly bobbed up in the
 midst of our Atlantic fleet but few weeks ago. No one knew whence 1t came and when it was to arrive. Does it not send chills down our pacifists' backs if they contemplate that a
 dozen such submarines could have bobbed up just as readily-and with | disastrous results-when we were in
 rather delicate relations with Ger
 many not so many moons ago?
 And would it not be an equally sim. l pie matter today for enemy submar. 1 ines to enter nearly all our harbors
 and dockyards unknown r. us? And
 how about Panama and Colon? Would l it not be comparatively easy for an 1 enemy U-Boat to effectively block the ] Canal by sinking ships at either en- 1 trance? Given certain circumstances 1 with the canal made impassa ble for
 our fleet. even for 4s hours, the con
 sequences might prove disastrous fo, us.
 { Will we learn our lesson? Will we ] construct adequate defenses? At the ! present writing Canada already has | taken due precautions. Thus Halifax 1 for instance has protected its harbol /, by gigantic, Lunken steel nets, sus ] pended from floats. This perhaps is
 a fairly good measure to be taken 1T war times; 1t, however, does not 'end l itself well for a nation during peace | times.
 There are subtlor and better means As usual, electricity provides thu l means. We have much better tell l tale if . submarine is npproachins
