SUBMARINES STILL OPERATING OFF THE
 ATLANTIC COAST

waters. They are the U-s7 and the U-l51, and a report to the navy department shows that one of them at least had stores to last her three months Many officers believe that at least one of the raiders is cruiser submarine of large tonnage. Otherwise they find it difficult to account for the length of time the vessels have been able to turk off the coast.
 Statements of coastwise seamen con- flict as to the size and armament of the enemy craft. Previous reports have indicated that the cruiser U-boats carry four heavy guns. while three guns is the largest number noted by the prison- CTS. The fact that some were aboard one vessel and some on the other may account for the difficulties otherwise noted. One report fixes the number of the crew of one boat at 76 men. That is almost double the number usually aboard an So0-tonner.
 OUTSTANDING FACT
 The outstanding fact tonight was that the enemy was still taking toll of coast wise shipping and evading the patrols Members of Congress who conferred with Secretary Daniels today were convinced that everything possible was being done that could be done without lessening Amercan efforts to crush the enemy in France.
 Secretary Daniels believes that the main purpose of the raid is to create a demand among the people for the re- turn of American craft fighting subma- rines abroad. If so, the German effort to curb the United States participation in the war has again met with flat failure. Not voice has been raised for recall of fighting ships. The transport lines have been safely guarded against a lurking foe for days. The troops have gone forward without delay. The raiders have created panic among coastwise shipping, but they have done no military damage whatever.
 SITUATION TUESDAY NIGHT
 As the situation stood tonight, the enemy craft may be still moving south ward along the coast. The scene of their greatest successes against de- fenselcss shipping on Sunday and Mon- day was On New Jersey. The pressure of the patrol fleets prOably was what sent him southward last night. Naval officials believe that the slightest er- TOT in judgment may bring destruction on them at any moment. So far as coast~vise shipping goes, it is certain that everything at sea equipped with radio is moving on courses to avoid danger. Gradually, also, the sailing craft are getting the word.
 There were indications today that the army aviation service had joined in the

War Conditions Have Put a Nick in the Nickel

Everything you eat and wear has gone up in price, You can't get as much for your nickel as you used to-you are familiar with these condi- tions that touch your home in so intimate way
 But, do you know that the war has sent up other things even higher, as iron, steel copper, brass, etc.? All the sort of things needed for mun tions have gone up to such extent that it costs the trolley companies great deal more to keep their cars in repair now than it ever did before.
 Prices have gone up so much that it is no longer question of making profit. It is question of endeavoring to maintain safety and efficiency. And it can't be done on the nickel that used to buy so much more than it does now.
 Here are some interesting figures that show the increase in materials that your home trolley com pany uses:

U-boat hunt. No statement could be obtained, but it is believed consio- erable number of army f1iers have been mobilized near the coast to cooperate with the naval patrol squadrons.
 While all the excitement of the raid went on about the naval districts and it's echoes stirred the navy department preparations for increased troop move ments went steadily ahead in the war department. It is the latter's business to get the men to the shore. The navy will move them as it has already moved more than half a million to france. In all the months of increasing troop shipments, the only troop ship bound overseas to be hit by torpedo was the British liner Tuscania off the Irish coast. The army has increased conn., dence today with enemy craft known to have been lurking off the coast TOT many days in fruitless effort to strike at the transports, in the ability or the navy to carry out its part of the DIE job to the end.
 FLOATING MINE
 The picking up of floating mile of the New Jersey shore was announced today by the navy department. Un- doubtedly it was dropped by one of the enemy U-boats. Possibly the raider was closely pursued and sought to lay trap for her pursuer. or. she might have hoped the bomb would prove to be in the path of convoy hotilla.
 The official list of vessels sunk by the U-boats as given out tonight by the navy department included seven schooners and four steamers.

The note reads:
The position of the Czecho-Slovak

namely to conclude q defensive and
