growing in the German high command

Search for Submarine
 Off Canadian Coast
(Continued From Page one)

Preceding thence into the sea track followed by fishing schooners the U-boat sank four with bombs. The last of these was the Nelson A. hailing from Yarmouth, N. s.
 While finishing the job the sub marine sighted steamer in the dis tance and set out after her at ful: speed.
 Whether this vessel was the Lug Blanca, the crew of the Nelson A. was unable to say. When the tanker was attacked she showed fight, but the range of her guns was not equal to that of the U-boat, which kept back far enough to be out of danger. The tanker gave the enemy hard fight, however.
 A torpedo tore through the stern of the Luz Blanca and she settled quickly. Even when it was plain to the U-boat commander that the ves- sel was disabled and going down, and while thee rev was starting off in three small boats, the U-boat let loose her deck guns but the shots were wild. A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. G. The British schooner Gladys J. HoI. land, has been sunk by German sub- marine. The crew, which landed to- day at Nova Scotian town, said the l attack took place yesterday morning

WOMAN A SHIP CAPTAIN.

Tokio, Japan, Aug. 6-Tatzu Ima- mizo, a young woman aged 20, who lives at Kawarjirimura, Kamo-gun, Hiroshima prefecture, has secured a license as ship captain, an unusual achievement in Japan. Her father is owner and captain of a collier and the daughter has sailed with him in the Inland Sea.
 She applied to the authorities for 8 captains license examination. At first the authorities were astonished, but as there is no discriminating pro- vision between sexes in the examina- ton regulations her application has been accepted. She will be the first woman captain in Japan in case of her success, and the pioneer appli- cant in the new field of activity even in the case of her failure in the ex- animation.

NO REGISTRATIONS
 REPORTED DURING
 THE HOT SPELL

Medical authorities in Bridgeport are looking forward to 8 low record being established this summer in heat prostrations although we have had and are having as high heat records as in any former year.
 Today the mercury hovered around the 90 mark, although the intense humidity made the temperature seem much higher. Up to time of going to press there were no prostrations reported at the Emergency Hospital nor did the police department have records of any occurring.
 When seen today upon the matter, one medical authority said: T be- lieve that this freedom from heat prostration can be attributed entirely to the regulation of foods and alco- holic beverages which the war has caused to be put into effect by the government, and 1t is only one of the great benefits which accrue from the proper distribution of meats and alco- hol. The public is gradually begin niEg to realize the importance of vege- table and fruit diet, which by the way, is the most sensible for the hot season and as result the blood is much cooler and causes less suffering g from the prevailing high tempera- ture."

PROVISION FOR
 EXEMPTIONS IN
 NEW BILL WIDER

Washington, Aug. 6-Broader pro- visions for exemption have been written into the new man power bill, now before congress, so that the na- tions war industrial fabric may not be upset by unduly large withdrawals of men over 32 years of age for mfli- tary service.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder, appearing today before the Senate Military committee, explained that he had deemed it advisable to substitute the word Occupations and employ, ments'' for the word industries" us- ed in the existing laws regarding ex- emptions. This would make possi- ble a more liberal interpretation of the law and prevent the induction in- to the army of many men perform ing essential work at home and yet not actually in essential occupations.
