BRITISH NAVY HOLDS KEY
OF THE SUBMARINE CASE
Tie German Submarine Base on the
Belgian Coast Presents One of the
DffuIt Problems yet to be Solved.

London, Aug. 2.-The British navy's
control CT the nerve system of the
maritime communication of the
world at this junction is more COM
plete than the control exercised by
the Central Powers on land.
This is the definite statement given
this morning to the Associated Press
by Admiral Jellico. The admiral
pointed out that the bombardment of
the submarine bases at Zebrugee or
Ostend must be at range of more than
twenty thousand yards because of the
big guns the Germans have mounted
at those places.
Admiral Jellico said that Ostend Of
fered more favorable target, but that
it could be attacked only with IA
vorable combination of wind and
weather and sea conditions.
He said he hoped that the problem
which the Belgian coast presented was
not unsolvable.

AMERICAN DOGS WILL DO
THEIR BIT ALONG WEST FRONT

Washington, July 31.-The Ameri-
can dog is to do his bit in the war.
Red Cross CANNES are in big de-
mand on the western front. Wearing
gas masks, they go out betewen the
trenches and locate unconscious,
wounded men in piles of dead.
The Red Cross establishment which
will care for American wounded when
the national army starts pounding the
kaiser would be incomplete without its
quota of dogs. Plans are under way
to have Uncle Sans bow-wows take
their places on the fighting line be-
side those of France and Great Brit
ain, some of which have catually re
ceived decorations for their work un-
der fire.
Several months of training is nee
essary before the dogs are ready for
service. They must be taught to
range the shell-swept areas of No
Mans land, hunting the wounded that
the busy stretcher bearers could not
at first glace distinguish from the
dead When an unconscious man is
located, the dog is trained to carry
his "tin hat or sharpnel helmet to the
stretcher bearer, and then to lead the
way back to where the sufferer is ly-
ing.
Many Red Cross dogs have been
produced in England. AS trench war
fare has rendered them necessity,
a project is under consideration to
train the American "Rovers" some
where in the United States and to
send thin over with other Red Cross
units. Bluebloods are not the only
ones needed Yellow ours can do
their bit for America also, if they
have the spirit, and enough 'dog
brains"

Poets and Coffee.

Poets have neglected coffee; partly
because poets are greatly under the in,

coffee is hard word to find a rhyme

would give scope to coffee lovers. But

equally negligent. Philosophers do
not care for breakfast. Kant took a
pipe and stroll for his morning meal,
and If we were to inquire into the
habits Of the extremely modern poets
we should be likely to find that they
are equally reckless of breakfast. I
suspect them of Cruel or mutton

are given passes must be back at the

FEW BIRDS SING IN AUGUST
Midseason Month Noticeable for the
Absence of Music From Natures
Feathered Creatures.

Once upon a time when we had
something to say about August we
spoke on it as natures silent month,
remarks the Terre Haute Star. AL
most instantly we were reproved by
readers who said that in August the
lOcusts and some dozens Of their kin
made the month noisy, if not musical.
Confessedly, when we wrote of Au-
gust as the silent month, we were
thinking of birds, not bugs.
The song sparrow, the red-eyed
vireo and sometimes the ovenbird try
/ to take from August its value as a
synonym for silence, bat of what ac-
count is the music of three when their
thousand fellows refuse to sing?
August is the molting month and
Noting is a painful process. The
birds do not feel like singing, and,
mostly. they do not sing, but it is high
ly probable that they would not, even
if nature were not insisting on a
change of feathers. The reason is that
the season is late. Housekeeping was
pushed forward because roofs were
likely to leak.
August, however. for its main part,
will hold it's silent record. 1t is the
midseason and it shows forth together
some of the beauties of summer and
of fall. The 0elated rose blossoms
with the early aster and the goldenrod
stands between. August has neither
the full glory of burning July nor of
cool September, but it shares in some
small part of the glories of each.

ture which will be the attraction at

The story of the play deals with the
disappearance Of a secret treaty made
between this country and another, pub
lication of whose contents would bring
serious consequences to this country.
A demand for SIS, 900, coo for the re-
turn OF the treaty starts the machinery
of the Secret Service in motion with
the result that Americans are given a
splendid example of the efficiency with
which this guardian arm of the gov
eminent works.
For obvi Gus reasons, stories Of lost
diplomatic papers rarely reach the
public, but the constant danger to
which the United States has been ex-
posed, especially since the beginning
of the European war, was referred to

Mics Marjorie Rambesu, who has
been called the stage and screen sensa-
ton of 1917, is starred in new emo
tional photodrams of five parts, The
Mirror. a Powell Mutual production
of extraordinary merit.
THE Mirrow" is said to be a strik-

her husband as she is attired for the
night, standing before her mirror.
Impressed by her beauty, the husband
insists on painting her portrait from a
sketch made on the spot.

theatrical manager and libertine, see-
ing the portrait determines to possess
the original and be lures Blanche with
the promise of sensational theatrical
success to leave her husband for q
