Last Saturday, after we had
gone to press, the news came that
the U. S. had severed It's diplo
matte relations with Germany IN
consequence of the latter's sub
marine blockade. 1t is declared
that this step does not necessarily
mean war, but the press dispatches
clearly indicate that every posi-
bic arrangement is being made for
such an eventuality. Germany
seems to find 1t necessary to pur
sue the policy she has announced
and this government has announc
ed that we cannot submit to such
a policy. Just what will prevent,
or will precipitate war between
these two governments is not alto
gether clear at this time. The re
suit, whatever 1t may be, does not
promise to be picnic.

The gang of telephone Iinemen,
who were here for many days cut
ting out the open lines and carry
ing such circuits in aerial cables,
concluded their undertaking the
early part of tails week and left
for other fields and new duties.
Practically the entire system here
is now carried in aerial cables,
greatly reducing the liability of
troubles from crossed wires and
cross patrons. The "toll lines, !"
of course, are not included IN the
cables with exchanges" lines
They remain on cross arms above
the cables, as heretofore.

 "The yacht I spoke of laid up at Eastern Point and I talked with her captain about the incident. He said he offered the girl aid and it was re- fused. He told her she could never make the lighthouse, but she said she had done it before and could again At that time she was only just com
