Washington, the navy department had no
positive information of the presence Of
enemy raiders in home waters.
The submarines were undoubtedly look

Reeurrent Reports.
Recurrent reports of German subma-

days have also brought reports of sight

It is reported that the Greek troops
have taken 1900 German prisoners and
that large quantity of war materials
have been captured by them on the
Macedonian front.
A new front has come into promi-
nence this past week. The Germans
have brought their warfare to shores
of America Ten ships have been re-
ported sunk off the New Jersey coast
almost within sight of land. Thus far
no lives have been reported lost and
all Of the ships sunk have been un-
armed and not of military nature. 1t
is thought that the submarines that
are here waiting for the movement of
troop ships from New York harbor.
That they have been lying in wait for
some days is seen by the fact that
these sinkings have been occurring
since May 25th.
