AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 81.
The efficiency with which Ger
man spies are keeping the kali
ser's submarines informed of the
movements of American mer-
chantmen was described here to-
day by the captain and members
of the crew of the schooner Childo
Harold, sunk by a U-boat.
The schooner was stopped by
the submarine off the French
coast June 81. The captain inn
mediately asked where the ships
Sherman and Crossley were.
The Sherman and Crossley left
New York at the same time the
Childe Harold sailed, but only
the shippers and owners were
supposed to know this.
The captain said the German
commander refused to accept food
from the schooner, and declared
that he had been warned that food
taken from an American ship
might be poisoned.
The men were set adrift in q
leaky boat and later were rescued
by a British steamer and taken
to Montevideo, from where they
were sent to Rio de Janeiro.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Aug.

Briefly, its incredible
scenes follow each other like
this:
Fathers Rouviere and Le-
roux, Catholic missionaries,
on their rounds in the far
north, came to Bloody Falls,
in the Canadian Arctic, in
the winter of 1918. They
were armed, as even priests
must be against wild animals.

somehow got the idea that
the guns were for them, and
in blind fear they slew the
two priests.
And then, said Sinnisiak,
food being scarce at Bloody
Falls, where snow buries the
land for 10 months of each
year, the Eskimos stripped
the mriestly robes from their
victims, dismembered the
bodies with their sharp
knives, and roasted and ate
the flesh as a God-sent dainty
to save them from starva-

u, S. EMBARGO HAS.
GERMANS ALARMED
Especial to The Times)

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. =
Uncle Sans most effective war
move has been the embargo on all
foodstuff, feed, fuel and steel ship
ments.
This has alarmed Germany
more than the threat of a million
United States soldiers in France.
Germany knows months must
elapse before we can transport a
big army. But the effect of the
embargo has been immediate in
cutting German supplies.
Oh, Such a Howl
As result, a back-fire of Ger
man propaganda here claims the
embargo violates the rights of neu-
trails, for which the United States
has always stood.
The wall of the German sympa-
thizer browns the protests of the
neutrals, nominally the sole SUI
ferers.

Ordinarily Tacoma is duly impressed with the inn
portance of major, awed by colonel, and would

four brgader-generals in sight at time, colonels
ma ors and the like staked unregarded around the
lobby Saturday night while captains and leutenants
were as common sparrOws.
TACOMA'S POWER OF APPRECIATING MIL

Brig. Gen. Foltz succeeded in arousng slight rip
pile of interest by wearing the strap of his hat the
front of his chin but it took something like that to
do it.
Suddenly however, the apathy was broken. And
whisper ran from mouth to mouth:
"THERE HE is! THAT'S HE!''
There was one officer in the lobby-a heavy
ilon-gray, square awed soldier in olive drab and
riding boots with bushv eyebrows, wide black rib
bon dangling from his glasses, and TWO silver stars
on each shoulder-Maj. Gen. H. A. Greene, who is to-
command the citizen army at American lake.
The lobby genuinely and deeply impressed :
and with reason.
