Atlantic or beneath the heavy swell

elude the British navy, mightiest in
the world, is homeward bound.
Off the Virginia capes a solitary,
grim British cruiser steamed slowly
back and forth today wotching the

Of the ocean waters. The cruiser is
the sole unit remaining of the allied
fleet squadrons that took up the wait
for the Deutschland shortly after the
German submarine thrilled the world
by crossing the broad Atlantic and
reaching an American port.
The other allied warships, variously
said to number from four to seven,
are combining the ocean in pursuit of
the Deutschland.
But she will not be caught" was
the declaration made today by Capt.
Hinsch, port captain of the company

STEALS MANS PANTS;
BOY ADMITS GUILT

Barrels as clothing may be ade-
quate but they are not considered
altogether conventional. And the
prospect of going to his hotel In one
was not pleasant to the anticipation
of a travelling salesman yesterday
afternoon.
AS a result Chester Coon, 13, was
hailed before Police Chief Goodwin
this morning. Coon who had been
bathing at the pool, North Sixteenth
street and river, attempted to run
away with a pair of trousers belong
ing to the travelling man. After a
chase by persons whose clothing was
adequate, the boy dropped the trous-
ers. Upon his promise this morning
never to repeat the act or never to
take anything else, he was released.

SECOND HOT SPELL
ON ROAD TO COUNTY

CHICAGO, Aug 3.-A jump Of
eleven degrees from Is to 81 degrees
at 9 o'clock presaged another hot
wave in Chicago today and according
to the weather man the entire Middle
West is again in for warming up.
He holds out hope, however, that
II will not be so terrific as that Of
last week Today's jump in tempera-
ture was due to shifting of the wind
into the southwest. 1t brought waves
of heat from the sections where for
a month temperatures have been be-
tween 80 and 100 with the exception
of an occasional relief following a
thunderstorm.
