Brooke Brewer to Play
Football at Maryland

Brooke Brewer, st. Adams School
star athlete, who has entered
Maryland State College, will
don football toys for tomor-
rows practice. Brewers work
at st. Adams was sensational
last year. In one game he
scored twelve touchdowns and
ran 104 yards, from behind his
own goal line, for a touchdown
against Durham. Brewers
sprinting ability will stand him
in good stead. He will prob
ably be able to find place in
the State backfeld.

Reports State Submersible Has
Been Seen Off the Savannah
Coast
NAVY OFFICIALS SAY
REPORTS ARE UNTRUE

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 10.-The pres
ence of submarine of undetermined
nationality off Thybee Bar, off Savan-
nah, today, was reported to local GUS
toms house officials, and to the Brit
ish consul here, it was learned TO-
night. Officials at both the customs
house and consulate refused to say
where their information came from,
but each emphasized the statement
that ut was entirely unofficial" No
undersea boats are in the waters, ac-
cording to navy department officials.
1t was reported in marine circles
tonight that the navy yard at Charles
ton, S. c., had been advised by wire
less of the presence, as early as Mon
day morning, of submarine off Thy
bee Bar. Customs house officials and
those of the British consulate said
their information was that a submers-
ible was off this bar this morning.
Received No Message.
Charleston, S. c., Oct 10-Captain
Benjamin c. Bryan, commandant of
the navy yard here, said tonight no
radio messages had been received re-
porting a foreign submarine in these
waters. Shipping men say they have
not been advised of submersible in

Investigation of Submarine
Attacks Disclose No Cause
For Drastic Action by y. s.

Long Branch, N. j., Oct. 1O.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Lansing discussed in detail at Shadow
Lawn tonight German submarine at.
tacks on merchantmen Sunday Off the
New England coast. The conference
lasted late tonight and will continue
tomorrow morning,
1t was indicated by officials today
that facts, so far collected through
governmental agencies, have disclos.
ed no grounds for drastic action by
the United States becarse of the at
tacks themselves.
Administration officials took the po-
sition that the transferring of sub
marine warfare so close to Americas
shores was fraught with grave dan
ger because of the possibility of mis-
takes being made by submarine com.
manders. Reports that strong senti-
ments exist in Germany for the re-
sumption of submarine warfare on a

broader scale, caused some alarm
among officials.
The arrival of James w. Gerard,
American ambassador to Berlin in
New York shortly before Mr.. Ian
sing left that city for Shadow Lawn,
added interest to the meeting be-
tween the president and Mr.. Lansing
because Of the fact that the secretary
saw Mr.. Gerard at luncheon in New
York.
In discussing submarine attacks
Sunday, the diplomats referred to
correspondence between the United
States and Great Britain beginning in
1914, in which the American govern
ment protested against he patroling
of the American coast outside the
three mile limit by British warships.
This was pointed to as providing a
precedent for protesting against the
proximity of German submarines to
the American coast.

DRY SPEAKER SAYS
j. s. WILL SOON Be
SAl00NLESS LAND

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 1O.-Declar-
ing it was a pity and shame to see
the American flag in partnership with
the saloon business, Rev. c. E. Cline,
of Portland, Ore, representing the
National Moral, Temperance and Pro-
hibitin organization, made the pre-
diction before the Methodist confer
ence here tonight that following the
second congress, after the one now
adjourned, the United States would
be saloonless land. National prohi-
bition, he said, would come through
woman suffarge and the non-partisan
vote, which would be universal. He
declared it was refreshing to come
to a state where prohibition has been
in force 25 years.
'"The saloon can't stand the light" !"
said the speaker. ut needs cleaning
under the noon SUM-" One of the
greatest cleaners, he said, was the
Methodist church. "No one can ween
a Dutchman from his beer any better
than an old fashioned Methodist min.
ister," declared Rev. Cline.
Bishop Cook, who contracted Sc
we're cold in Utah, was unable to at
tend the conference this evening and
deliver a response to the address of
welcome. His position was taken by
DR.. w. P. Robertson of Grand Forks.
Mayor Flint gave an address on be-
half of the city; DR.. c. S. Phillips. for
the churches of Jamestown; DR.. ]. G.
Moore. for Bismarck district, and
Rev. T. A. Olsen, for his church here.
More than $50 delegates were regis

RECRUITING OFFICE is
ClOSED-NO bUSINE SIS

Bismarck's recruiting Office, after
several weeks unsuccessful opera
ton, has been closed, and Captain
Solen and his staff have been trans
ferred to Fargo. The dearth Of re-
cruits is not attributed to lack Of
patriotism, but rather to the uncer-
tainty surrounding service with First
North Dakota Infantry on the border.
Much of the blame for this condition
is placed by military authorities upon
the letters home, predicting from
week to week an early return Of the
troops from the border.

leases will be signed this year. Next
spring, therefore, the opening of the
Alaskan coal resources to public use
will have become an accomplished
fact. a
Ever since 1906, when all coal lands
in Alaska were withdrawn from en-.
try to save them from monopolization
by the Guggenheim syndicate, devel
opment has been held up pending
some solution of the question.
In 1914 congress passed and Presi
dent Wilson signed the Alaskan gov.
ernment railroad act. This law was
followed by the Alaska coal leasing
act, recommended by Secretary Lane.
March IL, 1914, the first appropri.
alton of $l,000,00O became available
for surveys Of the government road.
In May, 1914, President Wilson ap.
pointed the Alaskan engineering com.
mission, to act under Secretary Lane
in building the road. He selected
three eminent engineers, William C.
Edes of California, who was chief en-.
gineer OF the Northwestern Pacific;
Lieutenant Frederick Nears, U. S.
army, one Of the ,Xo'.is;Ser men who
helped build the Panama canal, and
Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Utah, formerly
chief of the Alaskan boundary sur.
vey, who had lived and worked in
Alaska 16 years.
Settlers, prOspectors and miners
are now pouring into Matanuska and
Susitna valleys. A large proportion
of the vegetables and garden truck
used in Anchorage and the construc.
tion camps are produced by Matan-
uska farmers. When the line is open
ed from the Yukon to the sea, "a new
era will have come for Alaska and
the Pacific coast

No Decision
Reached on
U-Boat Raid

Washington, Oct. 10.-Final deci-
sion on the policy of the United
States toward the U-boat raid off the
New England coast has narrowed
down, in the view of the officials here,
to consideration of whether proper
provision was made for the safety Of
the persons taken from the attacked
vessels and left at sea in small boats.
Although without definite infOrma
tion as to the attitude which will be
taken by President Wilson, with whom
the decision rests, high officials are
convinced that only direct evidence
of insufficient steps to protect life
will develop a diplomatic issue over
the incident between the United
States and Germany. A statement of
the facts has been requested from the
American naval officers at Newport.
