The following letter from a woman
living at Newport pictures the comrno-
ton aroused in the naval station by the
arrival Of the German submarine U-53.
II shows that the naval authorities
were not caught mapping. 1t also tells
that Rear Admiral Knight, president
of the Naval War College and senior
officer present at the Narragansett Bay
station, paid his immediate visit to the
captain of the submarine, "of course
expecting explanations" Of its purposes.
The letter reads:
al am writing at once to tell you the
true version of the dreadful thing that
has happened IL was learned late yes
terday Saturday afternoon that
German war submarine had entered the
harbor and anchored off the torpedo
station. One of our submarines had
pointed out the channel as 1t came up
the bay. On being notified by radio,
Admiral Knight at once went to call on
the submarine, of course expecting
explanations. Many people went on
board The submarine could have
asked twenty-four hours privilege, but
departed in three, not, however, with
out a good look at the harbor while
returning Admiral knights call and
buying the newspapers.

marine. Later, ! was reading In my
room. about 1880, when Mrs. - (the
wife of a naval officer came in with
much excitement and said radio had
been received that the U-53. which left
here at $3.50 yesterday, had sunk two
ships; and Admiral knight, being so
informed by wireless, had ordered out
all the torpedo boats and destroyers

munitions aboard. You never heard
such footing and uproar as the de
stroyers made going out; you can
imagine the excitement and the COM

paredness, when we have comparatively
no trained men and no submarines, If
the 'boches' make sort of base
around these waters. You should have
heard some of the things said and
seen the quiet but determined look
on the faces of the naval officers sta
toned here in Newport. We feel as if
it were case of the Lusitsnia again,

English coast felt.

CHINESE BOMB
IMPERILS POLICE
Inspector Dryers Raiders
Snuff Out Fuse of Ma
chine in Cellar.

Save for the squeak Of Chinese
fiddle that came from somewhere in
doors and the clatter of dishes in a
chop suey establishment, Chinatown
was lettering listlessly on its front
doorsteps last night when Inspector
Dryer and Detective Mccormick and
Mitchell turned into Mott Street.
Suddenly an Acknowledged resident
drew his hands from his wide jacket
sleeves, cupped them to his mouth,
blurted the magical word Umpire"
and shuiiled silently out of sight. The
word was passed on down the street
and several men were seen TO dodge
from grocery and disappear into
various easements and dooTways.
"Umpire,' translated into terms Of
the Bowery, means Beat It! The
cops!"
The policeman entered the grocery
at ID Mott Street from which the oc-
cupants had disappeared. 1t is said to
be the headquarters of the On Leongs.
Inspector Dryer had received in
formation that there had been heavy
gambling recently in Chinatown and
that bad blood between the On Leongs
and the Hip Sings and Four Brothers,
caused by large losses, was about to
break out in new tong war.
In the rear room of the deserted gro
very the detectives, after much rum
aging, discovered seven stilettos, a
glass jar containing enough nitro-gly-
cerine for a miniature Black Tom eX-
plosion and a quantity of opium. Re-
turning TO the front Of the store they
examined an innocent appearing, but
high priced, barrel of onions. The first
onion when cut open disclosed "toy"
of opium ready for the pipe. Each sue
cceding vegetable was found to contain
the same thing. A toy" according 70
latest Joint" quotations, retails for
fifty cents
The door 70 the cellar was opened
and the three descended. They had
barely reached the bottom of the steep
flight when the lights overhead abrupt
ly went out. Believing the On Leongs
had rushed into the store and 70
brighten them from any attempts 20
trap the policemen in the cellar, Nc
Cormick and Mitchell fired several
times.
It was then that Mccormick noticed
for the first time something was burn
ing at the rear of the cellar. As he
reached it, the fame began to sputter,
but he managed to stamp it out be-
fore it reached dark object in the
corner which Inspector Owen Eagan OF
the Bureau Of Combustibles found to be
a bomb filled with five pounds of black
powder.
A crowd. attracted by the shots, had
gathered in front OF the store when
the detectives emerged, and Yee Lee,
who the police claim is connected with
the grocery, but who gave his address
as Ia Mott Street, was found among
them and locked up o. charge of hav-
ing a bomb in his possession.

1t was indicated to-day the seventeen
British, Italian, French and Japanese
vessels loading cargoes and ready TO
sail would be held here until the Ger
man submarine raiders are captured or
the navies Of the Allies furnish con-
voys. The value of the steamship prop
erty tied up at this port as the result
of the submarine warfare near the
coast is estimated at S14,000,000. Each
day these vessels are held here means a
cost to their owners Of $1,000. Rail-
roads are threatening to place an en-
barge on freight should the vessels be
held up for any length of time, to pre-
vent congestion.

mobile and motion pictures are cited as
adding tremendous influence to the
combination of powers already at
work to destroy the old-fashioned Sab
bath. Resolutions are proposed in
protest against the operation Of NOV
ing picture theateres on Sunday and
also against the use Of public school
buildings on that day. The faculties
Of colleges and seminaries, 1t is pro-
posed, should also be urged to omit
recitations OH Monday mornings so as
to leave the Sabbath free from the
felt necessity Of the students to pre-
pare their lessons on that day. An
other resolution condemns the Sunday
newspaper and points out that Canada,
even in war time, has found that the
Sunday is not a necessity. In comment
on the working OF the Dominion Lords
oct, the report adds that ninety
per cent or more of the Sunday news
papers published in the United tsates
for distribution in Canada on Sunday
had been pushed back over the line.
The report notes. however, that the
Sunday newspaper has made serious
inroads lately among the people of
Scotland, which is the stronghold of
Presbyterianism.
Sabbath Observance.
The committee reports a number Of
victories in the movement foS obsery-
ance Of the Sabbath, among them the
Sunday closing OF the saloons in Chi
cago for the first time in more than
forty years. The committee is also
-eratitied at the stand many employers
have take in regard to Sunday work,
and 1t notes that even in England the
authorities have found 1t advisable to
ban Sunday work, even in the munition
factories.
One of the most important of the re-
ports is that by the committee on
church cooperation and union which
among other things favors the contin-
uance of the negotiations for the union
Of all the churches Of the Presbyterian
household in the United States, and
also conferences with the Church Of
the Disciples Of Christ with view to
closer relations. In the matter OF
evangelism, the question is also raised
whether the hour has not arrived for
"the Inauguration and promotion of a
countrywide movement Of evangelistic
endeavor Of such character as will
meet with the approval and apprecia-
ton OF the united ministry of our
land"
