.U-BOAT ESQ FEET LONG
Free of Cargo, She Reveals Size-Crew
Gives $4,000 to Red Cross.

Baltimore. Md, July 13.-Un1oad-
ing of the cargo of the German super
submarine Deutschland was completed
early today and the ships rise revealed
that the estimates of her size have
been exaggerated. Instead of being
more than 800 feet long and thirty
feet wide, her length is not more than
$50 feet and her width is less than
twenty-five feet. Her overall draft,
figured submerged, shows that she
needs at least thirty-two feet for COM
plete submergence.
Through all the feverish activity of
the last hours of the unloading, the
tug Thomas of the Timmons played
the strong beams of powerful search
light all about, sweeping the waters.

fund of $4,000 for valor contributed

DEARTH OF WORKERS
Since Soldier Boys Quit Their Jobs,
"Subs'' Are Scarce.

Chicago, July 13.-Whatever the eff
feet may have been on other cities,
the mobilization of the American
militia finds Chicago facing, a serious
skilled and unskilled labor shortage
today. The extensive employment of
women in what heretofore have been
exclusively masculine fields is not con-
sidered improbable or remote.
Labor employment bureaus are
swamped with demands for male help
of all kinds Want ad. columns are
jammed with offers of jobs. More than
1000 regular manual labor jobs are
waiting for men to take them. AL
most an equal number of skilled labor
jobs are open.
The demand for office assistants.
managers, clerks and men of trades
is far in excess of the supply. Hun
dreds of first-class jobs have gone
begging ever since Uncle Sans call
for state troops took the militiamen
from their benches, desks and offices
and the prosecution of regular bust
ness in many instances seriously has
been interfered with.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS,

and September at $1.11A @1.11K.
CORN-Corn rose with wheat. On the
bulge, however, as was the case with
wheat a disposition to realize profits was
shown. After opening 1sc off to ss@%c
