OFFICIALS THINK SUBMARINE
ACTIVITY Is UNDER CONTROL
"SmOkc Box a Device Which Pro-
duces Cloud at contact With Water
Proves SuccQsSfuI,

Proves Successful.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Unless
some new outbt leak of submarine ac-
tivlty develops many officials are
satisfied that the situation is fairly
under control. Encouraging results
have been obtained through convoy
ing of fleets Of merchant craft, the
loss havingbeens reduced to less than
one-half of one per cent The en-
ployment of smoke screens, kite bal
looms and other anti-detection de-
vices also has shown good results,
and progress Isl being made with the
reduction of smoke merchantmen
and by painting ships to make them
invisible at a distance through a peri
scope.
In discussing submarine conditions
today. Admiral Benson. chief OF ma
val operations, and acting Secretary
in the absence of Secretary Daniels,
indicated the department is TO make
known more of its accomplishments
hereafter. No formal announcement
was made, however.
The smoke box" a device to be
thrown overheard from a vessel when
q submarine appears. has proved
highly successful in some cases. \
great smoke rises instantly when the
chemicals in the box come in con-
tact with the water and under the
screen created the vessel has oppor-
tuaity to change her course and
elude the U-boat. Experimenting
continues with many ether devices.
Thomas A. Edison is still at work on
experiments to which he devoted
himself at the outbreak of the war.

THIEVES AFTER CASH
ROB BELL BUFFET

Thieves broke into the Bell Buffet,
corner Market and Third streets Sun
day morning and departed after Sc
curing rs cents from the cash register
and a revolver in one of the bar draw
ars. They smashed cellar door
sufficiently to remove the lock bar but
sound entrance to the saloon barred by
locked door. Failing in this they
returned and pried open a window
smashing the sash lock and entered
the saloon. The bar drawers were
ransacked but nothing of much value
is missing aside from the money and
revolver
There were a number of rigs in the
stable yard after the midnight clos
ing, as there was a public dance in
Turner Opera house and it is likely
that the thieves secured entrance
without suspicion owing to the noise
of the horses in the stables.
Robberies have been few of late in
Watertown and this stunt favors of
men well acquainted with the prem
ises.
