Stealing mufflers and gloves from the
dressing room while the dancers are
enjoying themselves in the dance hall
seems to be the latest sport of num-
Der of persons in Biddeford. The
police are recovering the stolen arti-
cles, little by little, picking them up
here and there through the town. One
pair of gloves were taken from
young man who said that he pur-
chased them of another who with a
hard luck story disposed of his spoils.
Some of the goods were found in a
room recently vacated by the suspected
person who left town in a hurry. The
other of the worthy pair in the theft
was taken into custody and promised
to make restitution if allowed to go.

WOMEN FOUND
WAR HOSPITALS
Two Established in England;
Aim to Make Americans
Feel at Home

London, June 20.-There are two
hospitals in England where the sick
and wounded from the American
army will feel as much at home as
in their native land. Not only will
American doctors and nurses min
lister to them, but American-born
women will form the great majority
OF their visitors. The institutions
are the American Women's Hos
pital at Lancaster Gate, London,
and the one at Paignton. The first
now ministers to British officers and
the second to the "Tommies." Both
were equipped with funds subscribed
for by the American Women's War
Relief Fund.
Lady Paget, wife of General Ar
thur H. Paget, who is president of
the American Women's War Relief
Fund, told the Associated Press COR
respondent the other day that, al
though the hospitals were establish
ed for British patients. their doors
would always be open for the Amer
lean sick and wounded. New hos
pitals," said Lady Paget, will un-
doubtedly be established for the
American army but our two hos
lister to their wants.
Americas entry into the war has
spurred us on in our charitable work.
We American wives of English hus--
bands have been working inde-
fatigably since the beginning of the
war. Now that our native country
has thrown in it's lot with the Allies
we are more than pleased with our
selves. Our work will continue with
added interest"
Lady Paget has been foremost in
her charity work since the outbreak
of hostilities. She has gathered from
America 3,500,000 socks and these.
with tens of thousands of garments
such as underwear, pajamas and
shirts. have been sent to British
fighting men in need of them. Lady
Paget, personally, has raised in
America and England f250,000 for
British wounded. $4,000 for Russia
wounded, $4,000 for French wound
ed and E25,O00 for the American
hospitals in England.

81 British Vessels Sunk
by German Submarines
During the Last Week

London. June 21.-Unrestricted u
boat warfare last week eXacted the
third highest toll of large British
merchantmen since it went into ef-
feet February I. The figures as an
nounced by the admiralty are:
Above 1900 tons, -. Under $500
tons, ;. Total, 81.
The high water mark, of C-boat
havoc was reached in the week OF
April %. when forty ships above
1900 tons and fifteen under that
tonnage were sent TO the bottom.
During the week OF June 10 twen-
ty-two large and ten smaller British
merchantmen were sunk, the total,
thirty-two, being the same as this
week. The increase, however, is rep
resented in the number Of ships of
more than 1900 tons.

British shipping losses due TO unre-

WASHINGTON IS
NOT FOR SALE
Ban Johnson Says So. but An
other Story Shows Deal
Almost Closed

New York, June 21.-Ban John
son, sweating under the published
announcement that the Washington
American League club was about to
be removed, probably to Brooklyn,
has denied that such a thought has
entered his mind or the minds of his
club owners.
In spite of Johnson's statements it
may be stated with some authority
that negotiations for the removal OF
the club not only have been started,
but probably will be carried out next
winter. Whether Brooklyn Will be
given the club or whether it Will be
sent 10 some other city cannot be
learned. II is believed doubtful in
well-informed circles, however, that
Brooklyn will be chosen, for the very
good reason that Brooklyn is having
a deuce OF a time supporting its
championship National League team.
Johnson's Denial
johnson took advantage Of the
published announcement to state
that the American League would re-
tain its club in Washington, If only
for sentimental reasons, declaring
the American League would not
think of the nnanclal END OF Ine
game if they could continue to hold
the club in the national capital. He
didn't speak for Ben Minor nor for
Clarke Griffith, who are no more
noted for their penchant for CIV
ing money away than any other base
ball magnates.
Loser for Some Time
The Washington club has been a
loser for several years in spite of
the fact that the city is center for
tourists and that the club has on its
roster the famous Walter johnson.
Even Johnson's drawing power has
slumped until this year it is prac-
tically nil in the capital. He has not
been so effective as in former years
and is being supported by a cast so
poor it is hardly counted a factor
in the league.
Baltimore was not a paying city
when it was in the American League,
but il might become so if it were
given another chance, and even To-
ronto has been talked of. Every one
OF these cities, however, has an In
ternational League club, and there
would be some difficulty in getting
this organization TO waive its rights.
