NJ MORE SHIP
 CABLE REPORTS

This afternoon the local cable of flee is in receipt of the following order, "To all Stations, As a military precaution, discontinue un- til further orders reports relative to the movement of all boats.
 (Signed) Chief Operator, Sitka U. s. Signal Corps Station"
 This Is merely an order which ha been sent out some time ago, and probably has just been put into eff fsct in Alaska waters. The fact that the naval department has no tified masters of Pacific ocean going ships to be on the lookout for a German diver, may have some bearing on the subject, but it is more probable that this order will be suspended just as soon as de- tails are worked out, and it is learned that there can be little dan ger in this zone.
