NO MORE TRACE OF TWO
SUBMARINES OFF COAST
Vessels Said to Have Been Sighted
Near Machias, Maine, Have
Not Reached Port.

PORTLAND. Me-, August s-No fur
ther trace had been reported early to-
day of two vessels, believed by the
coast guard look out who sighted them
to be submarines. which appeared off
the maine coast near Machias yester-
day. Cross Island, where the lookout
was stationed, is at the mouth of the
Bay of Fundy and close to British ter
ritorial waters off the provinces of
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
The possibility that one of the vessels
might have been the German merchant
submarine Bremen, long ago reported
to have left German port for the
United States, aroused much interest
and resulted in a close watch along the
coasts OF Maine and Massa cnuset it's
throughout yesterday and last night
The Cross Island lookout estimated the
speed of the boats at ten or twelve
knots. At any rate, keeping close to
the three-mile limit. they would have
had time to reach this port early to-
day. To reach Boston. following a
similar course. would require eight or
ten hours longer.

SAYS PRESIDENT FORCES
CONGRESSMEN TO OBEY
Senator Cummins Says Executives
Assumption of Legislative Func-
tions Menaces Constitution.

Senator Cummins today charged
President Wilson with forcing demo-
Gratis in the House and Senate to adopt
legislation against their judgment, and
told opponents of the child labor bill
who contend it is unconstitutional, that
the presidential assumption of legisla-
tive functions was a greater menace to
the Constitution than the passage of
any measure.
There has not been a single import
ant measure passed since 1913 in which
democratic congressman have not felt
the heavy hand of the executive" said
the senator.
Those senators who see an invasion
of state rights and a menace in the
passage of the present bill ignore the
graver violations of the Constitution
exhibited every day during this ses-
sion"
Senator Robinson asked Senator Cum
minis to be more specific in his COM
plants, but the senator from Iowa de-
clared he had taken up the subject only
because Senator Hardwick had pre-
viously asserted that President Wilson
had violated his conception of the Con-
stitution in urging this legislation.

"At sunset yesterday Turkish pre-

THE brunt of the fight was borne by
the AnZac mounted troops. who ac-
quilted themselves magnificently. For
more than week they had little rest,
keeping in touch with the enemy, push
ing back patrols and accommodating.
Their final attacks yesterday were ir-
resistible.
whether the Turks will try to hold
the trenches dug by them remains to
be seen, but whatever happens. Egypt
is safer from invasion than at any time
during the war. No finer vindication
of Gen Murray's policy of making the

way has not stopped for a single
minute.
The Turks fought hard. but the
prisoners were delighted to be in Brit

abundant water At the present writ
ing the enemy is scattered far and wide
in the desert, not in orderly column, but
in small parties, and many of these
doubtless will be taken prisoner The

comuiained that they had been mistreat-
ed by the gram elevator combines, the
chambers OF commerce and state in
.spectors of grain, and that the influence
of the elevators and the grain dealers
with the legislature was effective in
inullifyins the referendum.
They then proceeded to attempt to
take over the state government unto
themselves as their only salvation; TO
elect a legislature and Il governor upon
whom they could depend. Money was
raised and the work OF organization
carried along with perfect system until
at tnis stage of the campaign it is con-
