SOLDIER DECLARES HE
 IS A MCONSHNER.
Lawyer to Prevent His Father From Being Tried For His offense.

T am a moonshiner,." With this astonishing declaration was New London attorney greeted Thursday morning. The speaker was a young man, attired, in the uniform of a pri. vate in the United States army. To say that the attorney was surprised Is putting 1t mildly.
 He surveyed the sodldier closely for signs of insanity but none were re- vealed. Do you know what yoo are saying?" Inquired the attorney. T certainly do and I want to make an affidavit to that effect" was the re- ply.
 Then he proceeded to tell the at torney an astonishing story. "My father is to be tried in North Carolina Monday, Oct. 2 for the crime of which am guilty. He is to be tried for making moonshine whisky and he Is innocent. I made the whislzey and my father knew nothing about it.
 Tt happened last, November. I was left alone on my fathers farm in Lin colnton, Lincoln county, North Caro- lima and while my father was away took it into my head to make some stills from a neighbor and proceeded to make the whisky.
 One day saw some men coming up the hill toward the farm and they were ar.s ed with rifles. I knew they were revenue men and I jumped out
 
 and escaped. I joined the army a few days later and now am stationed ct one of the island forts.
 q supposed that it had all been for- gotten until I learned recently that my father was to be tried for the crime. It seems that my father was arrested on his return, although he protested his innocence, and he is to be placed on trial next Monday. My father knows nothing about the crime and I am going to confess"
 The soldier was warned by the at- torney that he was making an in- eliminating statement and one which meant the penitentiary. The man as- sisted in making an affidavit that he was guilty. T can't stand to see fath- CT tried for something which I did, and for which he is not responsible D he asserted.
 The attorney again warned him that his arrest would probably follow but this did not deter him in his resolve. The affidavit was drawn up and he un- hesitatingly swore to it and affixed his sigma gre.
 The affidavit was immediately for warded to the propert authorities. The attorney would not give the mans name who made the statement nor the name of his father who is facing trial for moonshining.

BREMEN STILL COMING.
Forty Carloads Of Return Cargo Await
 Subn srsibie's Arrival.

The Bremen may be in New London. but if it is. New London does not know it. Despatches purporting to come from Berlin announced in glar- ing headlines in Thursday mornings papers the arrival at New London of the ionf awaited su5mersihle
 Officials of the Eastern Forwarding company, whose warehouses are locat- ed on the steamship terminal, realize, Of course, that the announcement is an error. Nevertheless, they feel that it may nave been Dredicated on facts which will develop in a short time These officials are in TO wise discon- certed by rumorS of the Bremen S capture of loss, and they are still optf- lnistic and carefully pursuing the pol icy of watchful waiting.
 Tugs go out nightly to sweep the waters to Montauk Point Capt Fred erick HinSch. in charge of the inter- ests of the Forwarding company, ac- companies the conveying fleet and his somewhat innpassive couutenance is expressive of confidence more than any other sentiment. Forty carloads of crude rubber. nickel and another metal await the arrival of the submarine at the state pier as a return cargo.
 That Germany is still engaged in the mercantile submarine business is indi- cated in a despatch from the Amster- dam correspondent of the EIXchanee Telegraph company, who states that travellers arriving from Bremen report third commercial submarine ready to sail within a month. This submarine to be known as the Kaiser, is said to be slightly larger than the Deutsch- land. Officials and newspaper mer were besieged with telegrams Wed nesday evening asking if the report from Berlin was true
 That the German report has been modified is evident in despatch from Berlin which says that news of the actual docking of the submarine Bremen at New London is still lack. ing, but the owners and the public generally assume that the telegram announcing the departure of a con voying tug from the American port will be immediately followed by the announcement that the voyage of the merchant submarine has been success fully completed.
 The Bremen took much longer on her voyage than was calculated would be necessary. the despatch says, and al- though the owners successfully con- cealed any appearance of apprehen- sion, they have been for more than a week anxiously awaiting news. Direc- tor Heineken of the Deutche-O Ocean Rhederal, owners of the Bremen. said that he assumed the submarine had been delayed by the heavy storms which have been reported raging in the north Atlantic.
 The Deutschland is expected to leave for the United States shortly af ter the arrival of the Bremen at New London, and will be loaded with dye stuffs and medicines
