Boat Menace Has Been Re-
dutcd 60 Per Cent.

Washington. Oct. 4.-British ex-
perience and American inventive ge-
MUS have combined to reduce by so
per cent the effectiveness OF German
submarines. Al least two devices
brought into the war by the United
States navy. inventions Of American
scientists since the beginning of the
war, have played n commanding part
in attaining this result.
These facts were made known to-
dav In connection with the assertion
that Great Britain is extending the
fullest need of cooperation to the
United States in their joint campaign
against U-boats.
As sn example of how far Great
Britain has gone to assist the United
States, 1t was made known that the
American navy. Is represented, at the
most secret conferences of the Brit
ish admiralty: that the almost sacred
books of the British navy have been
opened to the American naval chiefs
and that every British navy yard and
source OF supply has been made avail

Miss Younger Speaks.

Miss Hourwich introduced Miss
Younger, who described the events In
detail leading up to the picketing OF
the White House. giving quite the
most interesting description of the
picketing program yet heard here.
Probably the part OF her address
that made the deepest impression on
the audience was Miss Younger's de-
syription OF the alleged treatment &C
corded picketers sent to the work
house at Occoquan She described
the food given them as unfit for hui
man consumption. while the work re-
quired of them was of the most Ia
borious in the institution.
She declares that these prisoners
have been required to paint and
cleanse quarters occupied by negresses
and women of the street. perform
ing such duties without the protec-
ton of rubber gloves. although the
employees of the institution do not
handle the bedding occupied by this
class of prisoners WITHOUT such pro-
lection against dangerous germs.

Mrs Meredith endeavored to have
the audience adopt a resolution fav-

H0PtWtLL AND PRINCE
GEORGE CALL THOUSAND
short on Apportionment Owing &c
Failure of Many Registrars to
Appear for Examination.

The local boards of Prince George
county and the city of Hopewell have
begun the examination of one thou
sand men to make good the deficiency
In their quota caused by the fact that
a large proportion of the registrants
failed TO present themselves for ply
steal examination under the draft call
This proportion was between 25 and
35 per cent and was due to the large
floating and alien population of Hope
we'll and vicinity. who have left the
community since they registered.
The total apportioned to Hopewell
and Prince George county under cor
rected figures was $50 mem
IT is believed that Virginia will be
prepared to furnish every man of the
number apportioned 1t in the first
draft by November l. with the proc
able exception Of the district above
mentioned. Danvilie is short as vet

provost marshal generals office was

It's Lack OF Connection With

Pickcters.

frage league, welcoming the guests
who attended the house warming" at
the new headquarters at Fourth and
Franklin streets yesterday afternoon,
II wish to call your attention to the
fact that while we are engaged in all
forms of war service and are standing
solidly behind the government in all
war measures, we are asking for the
vote as our association has asked for
1t for the past fifty years not as a re-
ward for any service, but because we
feel that in order to stand still more
solidly with the government we must
be part of It. In UNFOLDING the
hands of the government we are again
distinguished from that 1ittla band of
wilful women who are doing harm to
our cause by their picketing at the
White House, and who In no way rep
resent our large organization"

plea for the army liberty fund: an
other notice called for assistance in
the Red Cross auxiliary of the league.
while the reference library in the re
ception room invited research into all
