maneuvers of certain German sub
marines. apparently Of new pattern,
which slipped over close to our own
borders and sunk half dozen English
shipping vessels.
The situation was acute enough to
arouse President Wilson to threaten

people on the destroyed ships were
rescued by American vessels lying in
the vicinity.
Fighting in the different war zones
has been unremitting and with vary
ing results. Credit, though in small
ler degree. has been given the allied
armies by the war dispatches.

dents that active fighting is being
carried on in many of the very same
places where ancient nations fought
