and was now "organizing occasional
U-boat operations Off the American
coast from Lubbock"
Lord Robert replied that the safe
conduct had been given to Capt. Boy

pressed wish of the United States gov

that the captains capacity for injur-

no reason to regret this view.

CHINA ON VERGE OF GENERAL
 REBELLION

PETROGRAD. Feb. 1. - Advices received here from China today state that the insurrection against the gov ernment of Yuan Shi Kai is growing to alarming proportions. In addition to the victorious rebel forces in the. province of Yuannan, a large body of Mongolan insurgents, estimated at twenty thousand, is reported to be marching towards Pekin. It is gen orally believed that this new insur- rection is further evidence of the an tagonism to the proposed re-estab- lishment of the monarchy by the bulk of the Chinese people. The whole country is verging towards disorder, and the government of Yuan is also facing serious international troubles because of the insistence of Japan upon her recent demands for conces- sions.

COLD BAY PRODUCING GOLD
 DUST

The amount of gold brought out on the Dora from the Cold Bay strike was about thirty ounces, in the opin- ion of Wireless Operator Musgraye of that vessel. The gold came to be used for paying for supplies, and was not intended to be banked. The Dora took no one out or in directly con nected with the strike, and so had no direct information. It is known that the region is included in the gold belt as described by the geological survey. A ledge was discovered between Cold Bay and Katmai, and is said to be rather promising. It is apparent that what has been discovered so far is not rich according to the standards of the great camps, but the find is mighty significant and the fact that so very few people have prospected there makes it all the more promising. The question now is whether it would be worth taking a chance on it or not.

NJ W FAST MOTOR SUBMARINE
 CHASERS

LONDON, Feb. l. - Motor subma- rine chasers," shipped to Archangel are described in Yachting. The boats are designed for use in all weathers. They are of the V-bottom type, with floor flattening out aft, like a giant monoplane, SO feet long, 10 feet beam, and have a draft of two feet 10 inches. Three eight cylinder motors of 175 horse power each guarantee a speed of 2G miles per hour, with a radius at top speed of 300 miles on one filling of the tanks. Each of the eighteen boats already built, however, have done from 28 to 30.3 miles per hour.
 Fuel is carried in four 27O gallon tanks, placed just aft of the engine room, giving a total capacity of 1,08o gallons, and at speed of 26 miles per hour, this gives a radius of from 800 to 600 miles.

There are now in England no Belgians who are fit for military service except those exempted for war work.
