Washington, October 7.--While the fly

to Newport harbor was the main topic
Of discussion among navy OFFICERS tonight,

AS she came and went she flew the
German naval ensign. Two guns were
mounted on the decks, while eight tor
pedoes, plainly visible under the for
the varsity was ready for fight.
GAME TO MAIL LETTER"
Lieut. Capt Hans Rose, who hung up
a new worlds record in bringing an
armed submarine in battle array across
the Atlantic, said he had called upon
Newport simply to mail letter to Count
Won Bernstorff. He requested neither
provisions nor fuel and would be on his
way, he said, long before the "a hours
during which a belligerent ship may re-
main within a neutral harbor had ex-
pired.
The submarine was in American waters
a little more than three hours. assum-
ing that she continued to sea after sub
merging. Within that time the German
commander paid official visits to Rear
Admiral Austin Knight. commandant of
the second naval district. and Rear Adj
miral Gleaves, commanding the destroyer
force of the Atlantic fleet. who was on
beard the flagship scout cruiser Birrning-
ham. Both American officers returned
the brief call promptly.
ALLIED SHIPS WARNED
While these formalities were being ex-
changed, wireless messages We're carry
ing to the ships of the British and French
patrol fleet, off the coast, warning that a
hostile submarine had slipped through the
Gordon and might be expected in the open
sea soon. AT the forts and the naval sta
ton the feat of Capt Hans Rose was
the one subject of conversation tonight
and there was much speculation as to her
mission and whether it was confined to
the posting of a letter to the German
embassy.
There were rumors, without apparent
basis, that the German merchant SUBJ
marine Bremen, long overdue, might be
expected in the wake of the warship.
Some naval officers expressed the opinion
that the fighter had escorted the Bremen
across the ocean, and others that she
was searching for the merchant ship. The
first question asked by Captain Rose when
a motorboat came alongside was Have
you heard from the Bremen?'
FEARS FOR BREMEN
When he was told that there was no
news of the missing craft, his face be-
came grave, but he made no comment
To the naval men generally. the most
interesting fact disclosed by Captain Rose
was that he had been at sea II days
and still had provisions for three months,
abundant fuel and needed no repairs.
Not so much as a bottle of water was
taken aboard and the ship was spick
and span.
The U-53 was first sighted from land at
las o'clock this afternoon as she was
entering the inner harbor escorted by
the United States submarine d.. The
American had been outside for maneu-
vers since morning and was returning
when she came up with the U-5S. The
d. drawing near the stranger and maxi
ing out her type sent a wireless message
to Admiral knight. The American vessel
preceded the visitor into the harbor.

On front of 10 miles, near the
Struma river, British troops have &C.
cupied five villages and have repulsed
a Bulgarian attack against Nevolyn.
Farther west on the Macedonian front,
near the Cerna river, the Servians have
debouched from the Kaimakcalan plat
eau and advanced detachments have
reached the Bela Voda river, 16 miles
east of Monastir.
French troops have occupied the
town of German, on the eastern shore
of Lake Presba, near the western end
Of the entente line. In the region Of
Lake Butkova, near the Belaschitsa
plateau, Italian troops have advanced.
Russian and Rumanian forces have
taken ground from Field Marshal Won
Mackenzen in Dobrudja. The Rus
SLAMS have occupied two villages and
have repealed attacks. Advancing on
the right flank, the Rumanians have
occupied some trenches and checked
attacks in the center.
Unconfrmed wireless messages from
Rome received in London say another
Rumanian expedition is reported to
have crossed the Danube into Bulgaria,
apparently behind the lines held by
Field Marshal Won Mackenzen. Buch-
Arrest officially says there have been
artillery duels along the Danube but
does not specify the sector.
In Pennsylvania the Austro-German
troops continue to advance. Rumanians
who retreated across the Alt river are
being pursued through the Geister
forest. Berlin reports.
ACTIVITY IN PENNSYLVANIA
Bucharest mentions little activity in
this section of Pennsylvania, but says
the Rumanians have returned to the
offensive near Petroseny.

Policeman Shelby realizes that the
talk he makes in one section of the city
may not appeal to the boys OF all other
sections. He. therefore. plans to adapt
his lectures to the environment in which
his audience. in each instance. has been

the little fellows that the right hand
OF friendship is being officially EXTEND

he will devote to his lectures. The re-

 Woolen Sweaters Given Out.
 The latest addition to our ward robes are heavy woolen sweaters olive drab, like uniforms. And be- lteve me, every day after sundoWn these come in mighty handy for al- though the days are hot, the nights are correspondingly cold. There have been several nights here that have made Us think of the weather in old New England. The old army over coat has been given the kibosh in fa- VOr of this new sweater which is just as warm, more comfortable and much heater.
 Yesterday Company E was given a day at the rifle range and their men made several good records Lieuten- ant Jimmie Hattings and Sergeant Veley had the best scores. Private Schmidt also had a good mark and would have done better had not his rifle kicked back against his lip, a disconcerting thing for a marksman.
 The regimental shoemakers are more than busy with hob nails and sole leather preparing for the return march. It seems unusual, yet in march the actual distance covered is about twice the distance given on the sign posts. Our seventy mile march here proved this for a pedometer car ried by Captain Ladbury registered 156 miles from start to finish.
 Sham Battle Coming.
 Tn addition to other army work, the battalions are given tactical prob lems to solve and at Patagonia, on the return march, we will have sham battle. The California troops will be given complete possession of the town and the First Connecticut representing an attacking column, will try to capture 1t. The odds would be six to one in favor of the holders of Patagonia, as it is almost impregnable. But that is where the real experience comes in. The Con- necticut will be the troops sent out to ments and will show what they would do were the conditions under which they will be working the grim reality. It is thought that the Second Con- necticut will be the roops sent ou to reinforce us. The cavalry that will complete our improvised brigade is not known but 1t is thought probable that a squadron of regulars, or pos sibly the Connecticut troopers, will join us in this war game. The Utah battery being the only battery of field artillery here will probably com plete the atta ckng brigade. Major Butts of the regular army will have charge of our movements. This man was physical director at West Point Cor sixteen years during which time he compiled a calisthenic and man. ual book that is still used in the army.
 Captain Ladbury has located the home of couple of cinnamon bears that he swears he will get before leaving, so we may also get a taste of bear meat.
