U-BOAT AT WORK
OFF MAINE COAST
Four-Masted Schooner Was
Sunk by the Enemy
Last Night
CREW OF NINE MEN
WERE LANDED TO-DAY
Attack Was Made Between
Briar Island and Grand
Manan, N. B.

Eastport, Me-, Aug. 3.-The crew Of
nine men from lumber-la four
masted schooner were landed at Grand
Manap, N. B., to-day. They reported
that their vessel was sunk by subma-
rine last night between Briar Island and
Grand Manan.
Grand Manan island is eight miles
east of the eastern extremity of Maine,
and Briar Island, N. S., is 35 miles
southeast Of Grand Manan on the east
ern side of the bay of Fundy.
The schooner was bound from st. John,
n. B., for port to the westward. The
crew escaped in one of the boats and
landed at the life-saying station on
Grand Manan Island. The name of the
schooner and details Of the sinking were
withheld.
The submarine was lurking at the en-
trance of the Bay of Fundy, through
which shipping from st. John, N. B., ar
rives in the open sea. The mouth Of
the bay, which extends between New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is 40 miles
wide, but the passage, which is deep, also
is comparatively narrow. Submerged
lodges extend for into the boy from eth
er coast and the channel is a dangerous
one for shippers to whom it is not thor
oughly known.

OPEN HEADQUARTERS
FOR LABOR RECRUITING
Office in the Morse Building in Barre Has
Been Fitted Up for Govern
ment Service.

Barre is now one of the four centers in
Vermont for recruiting skilled and un
skilled labor. The other bureaus are To-
Gated in Burlington, Rutland and Bellows
Falls. Locally, the department of labor,
which has organized the entire United
States into districts with view to MAX
ing the labor program during the war
more effective, has established its agency
in the middle apartment of the Morse
building on North Main street. George
N. Tilden, who recently resigned as a
member Of the Washington county local
board, has been appointed chief examin-
er, and the assistant examiner is Miss
Margaret Roberts.
Barre is the headquarters of district
which embraces considerable territory in
this section of central Vermont, and the
seat of the employment Office will re-
main here indefinitely. The biggest prob
lem of the department is to create maxi
mum production of ships, food, muni-
tions and all materials necessary for our
army at home and overseas. This means
the fright man for the right job" in
every single unit of activity on the part
of the industrial army of the United
States. The labor turnover since our
entry into the war has been enormous,
and in establishing 10000 labor recruit
ing bureaus throughout the country the
department of labor aims at the maxi
mum Of efficiency in disposing Of labor
where it is most needed.
Hereafter persons seeking employment
in essential as well as non-essential
manufactures are expected to apply
through their local employment bureau.
The bureau has on file calls for help
from industries all over the country, and
in turn is ready to file applications for
work of any kind The bureaus are
closely correlated, and the man seeking
work will find it very much to his advan
tage to leave his name and record Of
his qualifications at the local office
Among number of interesting and in
forming features of the new service is
the following; Non-war industries should
not offer superior inducements or in any
other way undertake TO compete with
the government for labor needed The
requirement that unskilled labor must
be recruited through the sole agency Of
the United States employment service
does not at present apply in the follow
ing five cases: Labor which is not direct
ly or indirectly solicited; labor for the
railroads; farm labor Ito be recruited in
accordance with existing arrangement
with the department of agriculture) Ia
bor for non-war work labor for estab-
lishments whose maximum force does
not exceed 100
None of the rules operates to the elm
ination of individuals who are seeking
work of any kind. For instance at the
local Office this morning a bulletin from
the Burlington Office referred TO concerns
needing stenographers, stewards, cooks,
gardeners, etc. The Barre office is to
remain open daily. Persons wishing TO
confer with the examiner or his assistant
may call the Office by telephone
