Examination of the ruins of Cnos-
sus reveals in the eastern part of the
palace rectangular openings, which
were undoubtedly windows, with raised
sills and stone benches, inside, while
the ordinary dwellings Of Cnossus were
from two to three stories high, the
openings in the upper stories being
filled with windows framed in timber
with transoms and mulliOns.

NOME IS FOR
PHILIP CORRIGAN

NOME, Sept. 4.-Nome citizens in
all walks of life, including bankers,
professional men, clergymen of var
ious denominations, mine operators
and citizens generally, have sent en-
dorsements of Philip Corrigan as to
character and efficiency for appoint
ment as United States Marshal for
the Second Division.
Corrigan was a member of the late
House of Representatives He was one
of three men endorsed for the posi-
ton of United States Marshal by the
Democratic Division committee, the
other two being Representative J. P.
Daily and Paul Kegsted. The under
standing was that the National Com
mitteeman should endorse whichever
one of the three that 1t was found
had the strongest backing in the East.
Senator j. d. Phelan, of California,
Senators Marcus A. Smith and H. F..
Ashhurst of Arizona, Secretary of the
Interior Lane and others were discov-
cred to be strong supporters of Rep
resentative Corrigan, and National
Committeeman T. J. Donohoe gave
him the endrosement.-Gate

OUT THE SUBMARINE

Arm chair naval experts are advis-
ing the allies to adopt Winston
ChurchilPs dig them out" policy in
order to put an effective end to the
kaiser's "bacilli of the seas"-to use
Lloyd Georges phrase. They argue,
and with correct logic, that the surest
way to defeat the submarine is to de-
stroy it's base.
This anti-sub program, which was
agitated for a considerable time in
England about the time Churchill was
dismissed from the admiralty, has
been revived in this country since
America joined the allies. 1t is ar
gued that the American navy could
be used for the purpose, and that ev-
en- if it were practically annihilated,
the entente still would have the
mighty British fleet to guard it from
the kaiser's dreadnaughts.

the British naval staff, has shed some

light on how formidable an. under
taking the swivel-chair specialists
propose. To the Associated Press he
made this statement regarding the
German submarine bases on the oc-
'cupied Belgian coast:
lone is Ostend; the other is Zee
brugge. The Germans have applied
to this length of sand-fringed coast
the same principle of intensive for
tifications adopted higher up in the
North Sea and the Island of Heligo-
land. The coast line is studded with
heavy guns, which in themselves con-
stitute intinitesimal targets at range
of more than twenty thousand yards
on which any bombardment could be
carried out.
Moreover, the enemy has not been
slow to make fullest use of aircraft
and smoke screen by way of protec-
ton. Ostend offers the best target but
it can only be attacked at rare inter-
walls when. a favorable combination of
winds, weather and sea conditions can
be attained. Zeebrugge in the real
sense of the word is not a naval base
but merely an exit from the inland
port of Bruges, with which it is con-
nected by a wide deep water chan
mel. There is little to hit at Zeebrug-
ge.
"Still l hope that the problem
which the Belgian coast presents is
not unsolvable."
Thus we have it from the head of
the most powerful battle fleet that ev-
er was set afloat that to dig them out
like rats" might prove a cotsly and
foolhardy enterprise. Many authori-
ties think it feasible, however, to de-
stroy these bases If combined sea
and and land attack-which, incid-
entally, may be possible by the allies
drive in Flander-could be launched
simultaneously.
Meanwhile, however, the American
people are not prepared to sacrifice
their navy in an undertaking which
probably would be as disastrous as
the attack at the Dardenelles.

cavalry, artillery, signal service, engi-
neers, machine gun men, aviators and
hospital service.
The varied nature of the marines
duties Is reflected In the dress uniform,
his dearly priced "blues." The trousers
are the color of the infantryman's, but
the stripe is red, like that on the uni
form of the artillery. His coat is a
dark nautical blue, but If he wears
chevrons on it they are yellow, like a
cavalryman's. AS an example of cos
