residents and visitors, the esrnestness

Engineers Country Club Attracts Wide
spread Attention

One of the interesting recreation
centres of Long Island is the country
club organized By the Engineers As
sociation. II is located on the north
shore near Roslyn. and adjacent to the
Piping Rock Hunt and many other pop
ular clubs. For the central club build
ing the association selected the old
Willetts Manor house, which fronts on
Hampstead Hsrbor. ideal for the an
choring of pleasure craft and yachts.
Built in the modern Colonial style, the
house is 80 well arranged for club pur-
poses that only a few changes have
been made in it. With the Manor
House the association acquired two ad-
jacent farms. making in all pleasure
grounds comprising e40 acres. A pictu-
rescue plot on this land has been
loaned TO the Roslyn Rifle Club for
its range, which is the largest of the
four which Mr.. Grace has equipped. Il
is located in the vicinity Of Roslyn. and
was the first one built on Long Island.
The members OF the Engineers Club
are greatly interested in the rifle club
movement. They believe that 1t is one
that will be of great benefit TO the men.
and in fitting them for active service
will do much toward thorough pre-
paredness. Charles F. Quincy is presi-
dent Of the club. The vice.president

ter, president; Milford ketchum, vice
president; Charles o. Ireland, treas
urer; Bernard +. Conklin, executive
officer. and Lawrence s. Colt, secretary.
Mr.. Colt is enthusiastic about the
work, TO which he devotes much time.
ITO make the club success requires
close attention" Mr. Colt said. "Our
interest in the work was the result of
war conditions and the necessity for
preparation and skill in the use Of
firearms. We are anxious TO foster
military practice among the men. Be
sides the rife practice, which is part
of our routine, we have drill every
Monday night, and are affiliated with
the home guard movement. Up to the
time war was declared we were priv
ileged to buy ammunition at ordnance
prices. When war was declared the
PERMISSION 70 do so was cancelled by
the order Of the Adjutant General. as
the government needs it's entire supply
at present. The club was furnished
rifles free. one being given 10 every
five members. with the privilege of
buying others at reduced prices. In
fact, we have been so successful and
received such encouragement in the

future plans will be. He probably
will go to his Bell county ranch for
rest After that he will decide if
he will return to his old home In Tenn
rle.
The ex-governor received his de-
feat cheerfully After the first bal
lot, which decided his fate, he left the
chamber for moment. He returned
in time to hear his old friend and
supporter. Senator l. E. Clark, stub
bCrnly announce on the third ballot
his intention to vote no on every
charge He joined in the laugh that
followed and in each ripple of merri-
ment that greeted the succeeding bal
lots of Senator Clark.
Senators Clark, Hill, Parr and
Woodward stuck with the governor
from start to finish. But on the
votes on the most serious charges
against him they were alone.

Washington Sept 22.-Unless some
develops many officials are satisfied
that the situation is fairly well I'M
der control. Encouraging results have
been obtained through conveying of
fleets of merchant craft. The loss hay
ing been reduced to less than one-half
of one per cent. The employment of
smoke screens, kite balloons and other
detection devices also has shown good
results and progress is being made
with the reduction of smoke from
merchantmen and by painting ships
to make them almost invisible at
distance through a periscope.
In discussing submarine condit ons
today, Admiral Benson, chief of naval
operations and acting secretary in the
absence of Secretary Daniels, indi-
Gated the department is to make
known more of its accomplishments
hereafter than in the past.
Admiral Benson said the depart
ment had not been able to find any
support for reports that German sub
marines either had begun operations
off the American coast or were pre-
pairing to do so.
The smoke box device to be
thrown overheard from vessel when
a submarine appears, has proven high
iy successful in some cases. \ great
smoke arises instantly when the
chemicals in the box come in contact
with the water, and under the screen
created the vessel has opportunity to
change her course and elude the L
boat.
Experimenting continues with many
other devices. Thomas a, Edison is
still at work on experiments to which
he devoted himself at the outbreak
Of the war. Even without the discov-
cry of any new implement for use
AGAINST the U-boats the diminishing
rate of destruction of merchant craft
impressed many officials as showing
that the submarine menace can be
held in check sufficiently to make
certain the ultimate defeat of Ger
many.
