Germany is believed to have
added other American lives to
her roster of death in her inten-
sified submarine campaign. The
American tank steamer Healdton

Twenty of the crew are reported
to have been drowned.
Haste continues TO be made
throughout the country in order
to BRING it into a state of pre-
paredness to meet a9sressions by
Germany on American lives and
commerce. Nothing new has
been vouched regarding the re-
port that the expectation in Ber-
lin Wednesday was that Ger
many would declare war against
the United States in forty -eiuht

Until the end of last week Captain

he exchanged positions with Capt.
Earle r. Sarles of Hillsboro and be-
came commander of the supply COM

Captain Sarles of Hillsboro will be
