almost useless.
Resinol is not an experiment. 1t is
a doctors prescription which proved
so wonderfully successful for skin

NATIONALITY OF THE
SUBMERsIBLE UNKNOWN
U. S. Destroyer Flotilla Is Sta
toned on Neutrality
Duty

Boston, Oct. 13.-An unidentified
submarine Off the New England coast
was reported by the steamship, Bo-
vic, today, at the time when the
steamship lane to Europe was dotted
with munition laden ships just releas-
ed from the embargo placed on their
movements after the German subma-
rine raid off Nantucket last Sunday.
The Bowie, bound from Manchester,
England, for New York, did not re-
port the submarines nationality, but
gave its position when sighted, at
500 a. M, as about 200 miles due
east of New York, not far from the
scene of the U-boats' activities of last
Sunday. The Bowie is due in New
York late tonight or some time to-
morrow.
The report of the strange subma.
rine was coincident with the an
nouncement that fleet of British
cruisers and destroyers was off the
coast and that virtually the entire
available destroyer f1otilla of the At
lantic fleet of the United States navy
was on neutrality duty.
That the American destrOyers were
conducting an active investigation of
stories of secret submarine bases on
this coast was indicated in a dis
patch from Bar Harbor, Me-, which
said the destroyer, Paulding, sent out
from the Newport naval base yester-
day, made an exhaustive search of
the coast between Bar Harbor and
Rockland today.
