to the lightship, where at am. she

bound from New York for Bordeaux.
After the crew had obeyed orders to

The bright moonlight gave the sub
marine a good chance to continue oper-
ations in the evening. She moved a
little to the westward, and soon after
dark stopped the Dutch tramp steamer
Bloomersdik, bound from New York
Iightship. Supposedly on the theory
that she was carrying contraband, the
steamer was sunk after the crew had
entered small lifeboats. The subma-
rne left her still afioat, but she went
down at SO, pm.
A little later the Norwegian steamer
Christian Knudsen. New York for Lon

reported sunk early today. The Kan

Not Mentioned in Maritime Lists.

The steamer Kingston is not men,
toned in maritime records and her des-
tination was not known early today.
No legendary Flying Dutchman
ever was the center of so much
mystery or the cause of so much specu-
Iation or lived so true to the tradition
of being the forerunner of marine mis-
hans as the German war submarine
U-53, which droppeds so dramatically
into Newport harbor Saturday after
noon. Capt. Hans Rose, her COM
mander said that he was seventeen
come in to mail a letter to Ambassador
Won Bernstorff. There was an ex-
change of visits between hlm ana
American naval officers. Visitors were
allowed to board the submersible, to look
at her two guns-one mounted forward
and the other aft-and to gaze upon
the eight grim torpedoes stored be-
meath the forward deck. Professional
sea fighters of the United States Navy
and mere landlubbers We're alike given
ample opportunity to see that the suo-
marine was no phantom.
Her stay in port was scarcely more
than three hours. She took on no fuei,
no food, no water, not even plpe1ui
of tobacco. I'VE have ample supplies
of all we want" said her officers.
At dusk she pointed her nose out of
the harbor and in the deep water off
Brentons reef lightship submerged, and
for a few hours all trace of her was
lost.
In diplomatic circles there was at once
a furry of speculation as to the mes
sage Capt Rose had mailed to Am
bassador Won Bernstorff. Naval officers
speculated as to the remarkable cruis-
ing possibilities of the submersible
which permitted. her to make SO long
and so difficult voyage through
en- seas without need Of
supplies of any nature.
Shippers of munitions to the allies
speculated uneasily to the purpose
and probable length of stay of the
powerful undersea raider in the center
of the great trade route from Atlantic
coast ports to Europe Speculation
even touched upon the rumor, impos-
sible to run down, that the u boat
was made in America, that her parts
were assembled at a secret base on
this side of the Atlantic and launched.
Reports of Marine Caches.
The rumor broadened to include re-
ports that stores of petrol and other
supplies had been spirited out of Amer

caches.
The silence as to the actual where

long enough for the full effect of her
to take hold of the public

Mexico City, Mexico.-The foreign
office has issued a memorandum in
reply to Secretary Lansing's recent
note In which the correctness OF as
sertions In the communication from
Washington we're repeatedly denied.
The memo declares that the United
States has no right to maintain its
armed forces on Mexican soil.
Emphatically reiterating the Mex
lean governments position denying
the right of the United States to keep
armed bodies in Mexico, the memo
randum denies theoretically that the
Mexican government has protected
bandits who had committed depreda-
tons in the United States and de-
fies Washington to produce proof Of
the assertion.

Feared Plot With Germany.
The memorandum asserts that
while 1t Is true that the United States
arrested Gen. Huerta, the motives
which prompted this act was not a
purpose of aiding the constitutionalist
government, but because the United
States feared that Gen. Huerta was
plotting with Germany.
The note concludes by declaring
that the presence Of American troops
In Mexico invites rather than pre-
vents bandit raids along the border.
The memorandum contains IS
counts. Although not In the form OF
direct reply to the Washington note

It expresses surprise that the Wash

panied at the tone and the contents

maintains that the United States has
sent to the constitutionalist govern
ment not only one, but many discount

The memo was issued at the same
time that the foreign office authorized

plsARMINc THE BODY.

We may point out that alcohol, as
far as the digestive organs are con-
cerned. not only interferes with their
normal digestive functions, but also
destroys their natural powers Of pro-
tecting the body from disease. A per-
son who Is suffering from alcoholic
dissipation, mild or severe, is less able
to destroy the microbes Of disease
which may be taken In with the food.
and is, therefore, far more susceptible
to typhoid fever, cholera, and similar
diseases. The vital resistance to both
heat and cold is also diminished, as
we'll as resistance to infection, and the
body Is thus disarmed to a large ex-
tent OF its natural resistive and fight
ing forces, and thus becomes a more
easy prey to sickness, disease and
death.-A. B. Olsen, M. D., D. p. H.,
