NO NEWS FROM TIE
SOhDIER ~ GOOD NEWS

Although the failure to receive let
tors from men in the service is not
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage "no news is good
news" never was more true than at
present. The report of every casual
" at home or abroad is Immediately
wired or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there
without loss of time to the emergency
address of the soldier or sailor af-
fected. 1t is also at once released
for publication in the newspapers.
Ne news Of casualties has or will be
held up.
Ne man in the service has reeeiv-
ed orders not to write home; he has
sesa urged, on the contrary, to keep
in touch with relatives and friends.
The forces in France have at their
disposal post cards giving general
in formation in regard to health and
the receipt OF letters and parcels,
WHICH may pc ulSpdtCHcu "lthOuN

Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors
reaches them promptly. Where the
regimental and company designation
of soldier is not known it may be
secured by application to The Adult
ant Generals Office, Washington, d..
C. In one week 1874 letters with
sufficient addresses were received at
this office. On 1882 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, 1913 were returned to send
ers, ,5S went TO the dead-letter office
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses might be
completed later.

have met with much success in the
treatment Of those diseases. People
who have suffered for years with
stomach trouble and have been un-
able to obtain any permanent relief,
have been completely cured by the
use of these tablets. Chamberlain
Tablets are also of great value for
biliousness. Chronic constipation
may be permanently cured by taking

If such department of the air

Off MachiaS

1t was reported to the naval sta
tons that following the sighting of a
periscope a submarine was seen run
ming awash off Machias at o'clock
last night. This report was forward
ed to Boston and New York but not
made public. This morning three lob
ster fishermen told of having sighted
what they believed to have been a
submarine and when their reports were
carried by newspapermen to the nav
al officer referred to above, he ad-
mitted having received earlier and
similar reports and said that they were
being acted upon.
The supposed submarine which ap-
peared to be about 200 feet in length
was picked up by two fishermen south
of Seguin light at 9.15 o'clock this
morning. She was a mile and a half
distant, but the fishermen were sure
of the character of the stranger. AS
they were watching her the engine of
their motorboat backfired and instant
" following the report the submarine
submerged. The fishermen hurried
ashore and reported what they had
seen. They were Herman Spinney
and Clarence Perkins of Bay Point
both well known among fishing men,
They had no more than reached shore
when a third fisherman. George Means
arrived with the report that he had
seen the craft a little later to the west
OF Seguin light.

The department statement announcing
the protest directs attention to the fact
that no obstacle has been placed in the
way of Germans wishing to leave Ameri-
ca. This generally was construed as an
intimation that some measure of reprisal
might be adopted in the event that Ger
many persists in ignoring the right Of
Americans to leave her territory.
1t is regarded as probable that Germa-

the conduct of military operations and

not interfere with military operations.

AN INVESTIGATION UNDER WAY

The position of the craft seen by
the fishermen would fit in with her
probable position if she continued in
her westerly course after being sight
ed off Cross Island last night. There
she was seen by two members Of the
coast guard.
One guard first saw her and later he
was Joined by a second guard and the
two men watched the vessel for an
hour They had ample time to study
her closely under favorable weather
conditions and were convinced that she
was submarine.
Repeatedly reports of a submarine off
the northeast coast of Massachusetts
outside the entrance to Portsmouth. n.
IL. harbor and on the Maine coast have
been brought in by coastwise vessels
and fishermen. In every instance Off
cial confirmation of such reports were
lacking, and usually naval officers have
publicly scoffed at the possibility of an
enemy ship venturng into American
waters. although privately several Off
Gals admitted taking these reports
more seriously than their formal utter
ances betrayed.
BetweeE these reports, more or less
circumstaV tial. and the official repudia-
ton of them, shipping men have eX-
pressed doubt as to whether coastwise
shipping was secure from attack. The
coast, it is known, is being constantly
patrolled but in this connection it is
recalled that the coast was being pa
trolled by British and French warships
when the German submarine U-53, I'M
rlolested and undetected, sailed into
Newport harbor in the middle of the
al ternOOn.
