Heved practically a full vote will be

THROUGH SUBMARINE ZONE
z TIMES TO BUY CHALK

VIM. Griffiths, of the Southwark
Manufacturing Company in Phila
delphia, isn't military man, but he
has run the gauntlet of the submarine
seas seven times already. He hasn't
been blown up once, but 'I'm fed up
on the whole business" he said conf
dentially last night.
Mr.. Griffiths was in England when
news of the diplomatic break of this
country with Germany was received.
He was arranging for cargoes of
chalk to be sent the local whiting
factory.
That there is much less uneasiness
regarding submarines in England
than in this country, Mr.. Griffiths
stated. He added that numbers were
being caught.
