Atlantic Coast
GERMANS HAVE HOPES OF CUT
TING OFF OUR MOVEMENT
OF TRANSPORTS
GERMAN SUBS BEGAN THEIR
AMERICAN WARFARE SUNDAY
NAVY HAS AMPLE MEANS OF
MEETING ANY SUCH ATTACK
BY BIG GUARDS

New York, June AT least three
American vessels, the Edward II. Cole,
Hattie Dunn and the Samuel w. Hath
away, have been sunk by German
submarines, operating off the New
Jersey coast at the entrance TO New
York Harbor.
The schooners Jacob s. Haskill and
Isabella D. Wiley, and steamship
Carolina were among the ships sunk.
The Carolina carried 22O passengers.
Information received at the mari
time exchange in New York indica.
ted as many as fifteen vessels have
been sunk.
The attack upon American shipping
almost at the very entrance of New
York harbor is taken to mean that
Germany has at last inaugurated a
submarine campaign to break I'D
transport of troops to France.
Although there have been few ru-
mors Of submarines having crossed
the Atlantic since America entered
the war none has actually attacked
American shipping on this side Of the
Atlantic. In October, 1916 the Ger
man submarine U53 after visiting
Newport, R. L., lay In wait for British
shipping off Nantucket lightship and
got six victims.

IT is ALL SHOW WITH
SOME FOREIGN COUNTRIES

The following is part Of the weekly
news letter sent out by Congressman
P. D. Norton: His Highness, Prince
Arthur of Connaught, visited in Wash
iHgton last week while enroute from
England to Japan to deliver a special
message from King George to the Mi
kedo. During his stay in Washington,
he was the guest of Earl Reading at
the British Embassy. After calling
upon the president at the White House
the Prince, accompanied by Earl Read
| ing, Ambassador to the United States
from England, Benedict Cowell, as
sistant secretary of war, and a large
rctinue of officers and attaches of
the British Embassy and a good-sized
regiment of American army officers
and secret service men, visited the
House and Senate. AS the Prince and
his party were leaving the Capitol,
after having spent a half hour in the
gallery of the House listening to a
debate, remarked to one of my col
leagues, as. we were walking from
the Capitol, that there was certainly
I marked difference between the way
in which the president of the United
States came to the Capitol, unaccom-
panied as he usually is, except by his
wife, his secretary, his chauffeur and
a few secret service men in plain
clothes, and the way in which His
Highness, Prince Arthur, was escort
ed and surrounded by a small army
of attendants, soldiers and guards in
uniform. Sam Robinson, one of the
unique characters about the House,
and who for nearly forty years has
been the House Messenger, overheard
the remark I made as he was passing
and at once threw up his head, shifted
the air like young battle horse, ex-
panded his chest and laconically gave
vent to the following: While that
kind of pomp and fuss these foreign
ers go to over one of their princes
makes me tired,,: it also makes me
feel more proud than ever that am
an American Under our government,
and under our laws, every man is not
Fonly prince, but king in his own
right. We surely have the good
country. Long may she live

BAND CONCERT
FAR ABOVE ANY OTHER GIVEN

The concert given by the Wash
burn Home Guard band on Wednes.
day night of last week was except
ionally good. Each number was loud
ly applauded. Too much cannot be
said about the kind of music that the
band is playing and the way the diff
ferent pieces are played Never be-
fore has Washburn had as good a
band. And too, never before has 1t
been called upon to play as often.
They are liberal with their music.
All the members are either business
men in town or school boys, and they
give their time freely to the general
public, and once in while they give
concert and charge small sum in
order to buy new music.
If 1t were not for the band, when our
boys leave for army service, the part
ing would be more like a funeral than
only a short leave taking Many do
not realize the real necessity of hay
ing good band, at least they do not
show it as they should But Wash
burn has band that it is proud of
and one that is hard to beat in any
town many times larger. This band
proved, as it has done again and
again, that it can play, and play good
music, as all will vouch who heard
the last concert.
The program consisted of mum,
ber of selections by the entire band,
during the interluGe the male quar-
tette sang Garry Me Back to Old
Virginny," and the Misses Indseth
sang two Duets very pleasingly. The
brass quartette, composed of Messrs
Wilson, Brownson, l.. Burgum and r.
Thompson, played "The Vacant Chair"
This was something new in. having
a brass quartette in the band, and
their number, was heartily encored.
l.. r. Burgum, with his slide from
bone, is always sure to please and
his solo II Love You Truly" was no
exception. Mr.. Burgum is the leader
Of the band and to him is given the
credit of its excellence. The band
concluded the program with a few
more selections. Nearly all the mum.
bers we're new pieces that had not
been played in public before, but

to war, he would go too. He went
out and saw how nicely his son was
taken care of in camp and will now
