AMERICAN LINER
 FIGHTS U-BOAT

New York, Aug. 2-An American liner reaching an Atlantic port late yesterday reported an attack by a German submarine 150 miles off San dy Hook yesterday morning.
 Two torpedoes were fired at the steamer, one passing within a few feet oN the vessel.
 The liner turned about and gave battle to the diver. One of the shots fired by the liner is believed to have hit the submersible.
 The Portuguese bark Porto was sunk by a German submarine $50 miles off the Atlantic coast July 27. The Navy Department announced yesterday that the crew of eighteen men had been landed at an American port by a British steamer, After overhauling the bark the submarines crew destroyed it with bombs placed in the cargo of cotton. No further details were given, but it was assumed the crew was permitted to take to the small boats. The Porto was bound from Savannah to Oporto.
 This is the first official word of @ submarine operating off the coast re- ceived here since a sea wolf appeared suddenly off the Massachusetts sea- board Il days ago and shelled a tug and barges it was towing. This occurred several days after the United States cruiser San Diego had been destroyed off Fire Island, N. Y, presumably by a mine planted by the submersible.
 There was no information to show the submarine which sank the Porto was the same one that attacked the
 tug and barges, but it was assumed ii was.
 There have been several unofficial
 reports recently of steamers sending
 radio messages that tSey were being
 attacked off the coast, but if they destroyed their crews have not been 4 landed on American shores so fay as

Avoid Food Waste Hoover Warning
 Across Water

The Federal Food Board made pub lie yesterday the following cablegram from Herbert Hoover, which gives the full text of a joint resolution adopted recently by the Food Controllers of the United States, France, Italy and Great Britain:
 Resolved, That while the increased production of the United States rem ders it possible to relax some of the restrictions, which have borne with peculiar hardship upon all our peo- pies, yet 1t Is absolutely necessary that rigid economy and elimination of waste, in the consumption and hand ling of all foodstuffs, as well as in- creased production, should be main tained through the European allied countries and in North America.
 "It is only by such economy and elimination of waste that the trans portation of the necessary men and supplies from North America to the European front can be accomplish ed and that stocks of foodstuffs cal be built up in North America as an | insurance against the ever present danger of harvest failure and the pos sible necessity for large and erner | gency drafts to Europe.
 ''We cannot administer the fooC | problem on the basis of one year war. We must prepare for it's lon; continuance if we are to insure ao solute victory"

ORDERS BOND IN KELLAR
 CASE REDUCED
Held on Adultery Charge But Suspicion of More
 Serious Offense.

Attorney George F. Mara, as ceun- sel for William Kellar, of Easten, who with Edith Curtis of the same place was bound over to the September term of the criminal superior court on the charge of improper conduct. ap- peared before Judge John p. keeler this morning at a special session Of the criminal superior court on a mo- tion asking for reduction of the ball of S2,O00 which he claimed was ex- cessive. The motion was granted and bail fixed at s1,00O.
 At the time Kellar was arrested he had left Ais own wife and had been living for some time with Miss Curtis who had gone to his home in answer to his advertisementIor a housekeeper, A child was born to them which, ac- cording to rumor, disappeared. This rumor and many others of similar im- port gained great credence In Easton and the manner in which the couple lived was a great offence to the towns people, according to Attorney B, O. Hull, who testified regarding to the action taken at the time of the arrest in Easton.
 The state police searched diligently for evidence of foul play as regards the child but to date have found very little on which to hang a case other than for the original which wa charged against the man, For this reason, and because the mans prop erty Is going to rack and ruin, 1t was desired to get g. sum named as bal l that he could furnish and be at libert! | to look after his property until the court came in session in September,
 Assistant States Attorney Galen A Carter said he felt sure that some thing more would be discovered and that there were good and sufficien
 reasons for holding him. Judge Keelel
 said that he felt sure the $1,000 bal
 would be sufficient to Insure Kellar' l appearance whenever he was wanted
 and that it would be a very easy mat ter to apprehend him as it was rathe difficult to get beyond seas" at tn
