Growers Steal Berry Pickers.

Tacoma, Wash. Wholesale brigand-
age exists in the Puyallup valley.
Berry pickers worth their weight in
gold are the booty; respectable citi-

The human spoil, with all its goods and
chattels, children and dogs, sport shirts
and scalloped skirts, is carried away in
highpowered automobiles to berry
patches, where the pickers are watched
like prisoners of war.

than 100 miles east of Nantucket light
ship by neutral ship now i'm port, it
became known here The submarine
was moving in an easterly direction
The submarine was sighted some
distance from the neutral vessel which
was signaled by wireless from the
submersible asking her name and ma
tionality 1t was given and the ques-
tion asked In turn. Who are you"
German submarine from Newport,
good by" was the reply
The assumption was that she was
the U-53, responsible for the shipping
raid of Oct s, and this report is the
latest on her whereabouts The U-53
was last sighted prior to that time by
the Greek liner PATHS on Oct. 3.
Neutrality regulations of the nation
whose flag the ship flies and specific
orders with respect TO their observ-
ance are given for withholding the
name of the ship bringing the report
here, but II is vouched for as correct
by high marine authority.

U. S. ISOLATION GONE

London. oct 16.-What the United

the theme OF the editorials of most Of
the weekly reviews.
THE overnight American isolation
has vanished, saws the outlook. and
In common with otAer reviews This
newspaper discusses the effect the
submarine incident will have on the
Monroe doctrine
The Nation takes the interesting
view that having done something
disagreeable in the U-53 affair" Ger
manys next step will be TO seek some
favor from the United States which.
IL says. may be a request for media
ton. or possibly only a request for an
effective protest against the British
blockade, as a return for muzzling

The Spectator considers the German
motive fin sending the U-53 across the
sea was to force the United States to
propose peace terms, regardless Of
whether the entente allies wish them
proposed or not.
Thus, with unrestricted submarine
warfare as settled policy" says the

PARIS PAPERS CALL SUBMARINE ATTACK
 BLACKMAIL SCHEME

Paris, Oct. 10-Under the heading of "Blackmair" and Defiance" the morning newspapers print in prom inent positions every scrap of news obtainable about the submarine cam paign on the American coast
 The general sentiment of the press is that Germany is challenging the United States with a conviction that the challenge will not be taken up and that the neutrals must see today that they acted unwisely in not "nipping the submarine warfare on commerce in the bud." The newspapers ex- press the opinion that the campaign off the American coast is the last touch to a situation which is becom- ing impossible owing to the sinking of Scandinavian and other neutral ships. They declare that neutrals must feel bound to act as the navigation of the whole world is affected.
 Germany" the Gaulois says, "is convinced that by extending the field of assassination to American waters, she will bring about a peace move ment in the United States. She inn agines that American merchants and the big trusts, seeing their overseas trade paralyzed, will demand that Washington intervene for peace or
