Procedure Was Same

The procedure Of the Germans was
the same in all cases, according to the
crews. The vessels were stopped,
boarded by the submarine commander
and the men ordered 10 the lifeboats
after which mines or bombs were plac-
ed in the ships and exploded. Then
the submarine towed the lifeboats a
few miles toward shore and gave them
the right direction before submerging.
1t required two DAYS or more in
most instances for the crews to sail
and row to ST. Maria in the Azores.

to the governors:
Reports reaching this office recent
Is indicate that in some quarters the
belief prevails that friendly aliens, who
have not declared their intention TO be-
come citizens, but are ready and will
ing to serve are disqualified from en-
tering the military service of the
United States and therefore that they
must take out first papers before they
can be accepted. 1t is to be regretted
that such a misunderstanding should
have arisen. The requirements for vol
untary enlis tment in time of war are
no more restricted for service in the
new national army than for the reg
ular army. Such alien non -declarants
are virtually volunteers.

PITY THE POOR BUOY

A young man who was born and reared in an inland community-a very inland community-and who made good in Chicago, moved to New York to live, as so many persons do who have made good in Chicago. He bought himself a handsome home in one of the suburbs on the shore of Long Island Sound
 After he got settled his mother came East to visit him. The good lady had never been near tidewater before.
 On the night of her arrival, at din- her, she paused, with her fork poised, and said to her son:
 Whats that ringing sound I hear?
 That's a bell buoy," he explained, stationed out there in the channel to give warning of a reef"
 The old lady looked interested, but said nothing more. The next night was stormy and the bell rang with in- creased vehemence.
 What's the matter, mother?" in- quired the head of the household, no- ticing perturbed look upon her face.
 "Im thinking, "she said, about that poor boy-out there all by himself in this weather!"
