An Atlanta Port.-The crew of
the Boston schooner Jacob NJ. Has

submarine 40 miles east of Barne-
gat, N. j., Sunday, was landed at an

bow by the submarine. At first we
could see nothing. but few minutes
later Capt. Davis sighted the under
sea boat. An officer and several
men came aboard of us; we were
told to leave the schooner at once.
While we were putting a few cans Of
water and some tins of biscuits in
our power boat the Germans placed
bombs on our vessel.
Following the orders of the sub
marine officer, we went alongside the
U-boat, where we remained until
our ship was sent to the bottom The
submarine shelled her in addition to
exploding the bombs and she sank in
five minutes.
1.-The last We saw of the submarine
she was circling around, apparently
waiting for other vessels. There
were no other ships in sight.

FOREST RECEIPTS INCREASE.

Receipts from the national forests
in the fiscal year ending June 80.
1918. exceeded. those for 1917 by al
most $4,000 and totaled more than
$3.574.000, according to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The increase in
receipts in 1916 was more than $780,
900 over the previous year.
Largest increases this year were re-
corded from the increased number of
live stock grazed. the government
making particular effort to meet the
needs Of tho nation for meat, wool
and hide production. On one forest a
new range for $4,000 sheep was
opened by building q special barge to
transport the sheep across q lake to
high mountain grazing lands which
could not be reached in any other
way.
Every revenue-producing activity
on the forests. except timber business
and permits for water power. con-
tributed to the receipts. The general
let-up in building construction, on ac-
count Of the war and the labor sit
uation curtai1ed the timber business,
while apprehension as to pending leg
islation weakened water power ac-
tivities.

local fuel administrators. However.

their steam plants and to make
changes that will effect a fuel saving.
