U-5S | On Way Home;
Another Coming Here

Washington. Oct l4.-Government
officials believe that the German sub
marine U-53 is now on its way back
to Germany and that another is on
the way to the American coast.
The nature and source Of inforrna-
ton upon which the belief is found d
has not been disclosed. While dis
claiming any information on the sub
ject, many naval officers have been
convinced that the U-53 carried out
fully definite program OF the Ger
man admiralty, which included a sud-
den raid and return to Germany. \
Officials also discredit reports of a
secret base on the American coast.
Every report Of one traced down sc,
far has been without shadow Of
foundation in fact.

PLAN FOR JOINT

3 Gives His Views
TELLS DIFFICULTIES OF
-,. THE PROPOSED PLAN

New London, Conn.,, Sept. 15.-A
suggestion that the Mexican govern
ment create a constabulary for border
duty similar to that of the DaZ re-
gime was made today during a brief
session of the American-Mexican joint
commission, concluding the second
week of it's deliberation. Apparently
the plan for a joint police force, pre-
viously discussed, was abandoned as
impractical, after the commission had
conferred with Major General Bliss,
assistant chief of staff of the United
States army.
General Bliss, it was learned, made
to the joint commission today, dis
passionate statement Of the situation
he believed would follow General Per
shing's withdrawal from Mexico be-
fore a properly constituted constabu-
larry is created to relieve his troops.
1t is understood he pointed out
problems in the way of an effort to
create a border police under dual
authority.
There is reason to believe the Amer
lean commissioners have sought to
impress their Mexican conferees with
the view that Mexico must recognize
responsibility for the depreciation on
the border if relations are to be un-
impaired.

Hundreds Of friends of the prison

Old Forge was quiet today and to-

a state of excitement all day, but a
