CAPTAIN REPORTS
ON A SUSPECTED
SUB SUPPLY SHIP

An Atlantic Port, June What he
now believes was a German submar-
inc supply ship masquerading as
neutral trader, was sighted off the
Virginia capes on May rs by Captain
Ray of the American schooner Joel
Cook, which reached here recently.
cat the time, 1 attached no signifi-
canoe to the incident, but on reaching
this port and learning of German sub
marine activities down the coast, 1
communicated what had observed to
the naval authorities" said Captain
Ray yesterday.
ct was off Fenwick's Island light
ship (off the Virginia capes) on May
rs when sighted two submarines
which I took to be Americans on trial
cruises. They were big fellows
bigger than thought submarines
were made. They seemed to be trail
ing a steamer, but after a. time this
steamer, strangely enough, dropped
astern of me, then speeded up and
came alongside without hailing me.
A mist then set in, and 1 lost sight OF
her, There was no distinguishing
mark on this vessel, and she flew no
flag"

CAPTAIN Ray said he observed two
gray cylinders which he believes
we're mines.

ITALIANS GREAT AIRMEN.

American admiration for Italian eff

sentimental facts which have devel-
oped here since the establishment of
this camp on the edge of an inland
lake by joint agreement of the Navy
Departments of the two nations.
we can't say enough nice things
about our Italian friends from any
point of view" explained the Ameri-
can commander of the students. Their
efficiency is only equaled by their
capacity for friendship. Their hos

This Is certainly no place for boob
hiers," declared one of the young en-
signs who, having obtained his brevet
at Pensacola, Fla, has come down
here with a group of others to learn
the Italianu water machines. The
Italian instructor pilots are all crack
men, and the Italian machinists are
the most competent crowd 1 have
met. They have the sixth sense, al.
right. They can detect a defective
motor when the machine is 1000 feet
high and flying at so miles an hour.

RED TAPE AND THE MULE.

The New Republic prints letter
from a French sergeant of infantry
describing his impression of the Am
erican troops:
Their idea of discipline is bewilder-
ing to u.s. 1t would be difficult to eX-
plain to you all have seen and heard
in what It differs from ours. Here
is a story. The other day, an Ameri-
can driver was going down steep hill
with four mules. 9'he brake did not
work, the animals bolted. Cleverly
the man leads his team towards a
wood. One of the mules knocks him
self against a tree and falls. The
whole thing stops. Calmly, the driver
gets down, examines the mule, decides
he cannot be saved. He then pulls
out his revolver. kills the mule calm
ly and goes on his way.
1 wish you could have seen the ex-
preston of the poilus who witnessed
taA incident You would have laugh
I'D. They spoke about it seTeral days
and have not swallowed it quite yet
Imagine such a thing happening with
us! How many inquiries and reports
we would have had! How many res
ponsfble persons to be found! The
Americans buried the mule without
any more ado, and this evidently i.
the simpler method. the more so, thai
all the reports in the world would no
have revived the mule.

individual CARE
MUST Be GIVEN
ITO INJURED men

Boston, June 1-"FHEures compiled
from the averages of all belligerents
show that for every 100000 men
mobilised. 10000. or 1 per cent. of
them e$ch, year. would be proper
subjects for vocational retaining. In
ewe years &his would be 10000, three
4 years 10000, and so on. On the
basis of an army Of 100000 men,
H.aUid have $1,000 men per year who
S.xpRd need assistance and help in the
l.SRoration and increase of their earn
ing capacity, under the various classes
of disability incurred" In this state
ment made today before the sociology
cal section Of the annual meeting of
the National Association, at Boston,
DR.. c. A. Prosser, Secretary of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton, Washington, called attention to
the magnitude of the task which con-
fronts his branch of the govern
ment
"of the 10000 men out Of the mil
lion," Dr.. Prosser continued, fully
fifty per cent. of them will require
medical rather than surgical care
men who have developed tuberculo-
sis, heart trouble, kidney trouble and
functional disorders. The other half
of the 10000 must have some sort of
surgical attention. OF the 5000 su,-
gical cases, there will, as the average
show us, be 10 per cent. in dismem-
berment cases-where there has been
a leg, or an arm lost. The figures
show an astonishingly small percent
age of blindness. Out of 1000 men
returned to Canada, there were only
q blinded men.
with such a diversity of injuries,
being largely individual so to speak,
the work of re-educating these men
becomes one which cannot be dealt
with along broad general lines, but
each man will require individual
treatment, individual study of his
case, individual training and individ
ual efforts on his behalf in placement
after he has been re-equipped to take
up the broken threads of civilian
life"

Gals, but this was cancelled when
the broker pleaded that he be per-
mitted to make a contribution to the
Red Cross.
The Food Boards statement, re-
viewing the Harding case, found him
guilty as a jobber of having sold sub
stantial quantities of flour to other
jobbers in violation of the rule which
forbids resales within the trade; of
having sold substantial quantities of
flour without substitutes and with in
sufficient substitutes, of having sold
to a certain baker who had no Ii
cense, and of having sold substantial
quantities of flour and substitutes at
margins of profit in excess of the
margins deemed reasonable by the
administration.

tutes for marmalades. it being a we'll
known fact that there is scarcity of
butter and jams to put on bread. Most
of these marmalades are prepared
from garden vegetables, instead of
from fruits, and with minimum
amount of sugar. The means by
which they are made and the substan-
ces which enter into their manufac-
ture are, however, secrets known only
to the persons who produce them.
Substitute soap is offered for sale,
which is said to have been prepared
from the oil in berries and from pu-
mice stone. 1t lacks, however, the
main characteristic of soap, that of
working up into a rich, creamy lather.
Otherwise, it is very good. Substi-
tutes are also to be had for laundry
bluing.
Substitute bicycle tires are some
times made of two concentric iron
rings with small springs between
them. They are very serviceAble on
asphalt pavements, but are not exact
ly noiseless nor as easy riding as gen
uine rubber tires"

Egan Resignation
Due to iii Health

Washington, June T. Maurice
Francis Egan, United States Minister
to Denmark, has rendered his resig-
nation, owing to ill-health. The
resignation will be accepted
Mr.. Egan has been Minister to
Denmark since June, 1907, when ne
was appointed by President Roosa-
welt. Late last year he was tai
in Copenhagen and later underwear
an operation. He has been in Wash
ington for several months on leave.
His condition is such that he felt he
could not resume active duty abroad
Minister Egans lengthy service at the
Danish capital made him a favorite
with the Danish royal family. He Is
an author of note.
Mr.. Egan wrote the President that
after several experiments under d.
rection of his physician he had dis
covered lit would be impossible for
him to resume his post within what
would seem a reasonable time and.
therefore, he felt it would be an in
justice not to tender his resignation.

tensified it. Instead of dropping our housing plans we should greatly ela- borate them. Peace industry requires the proper housing of Workmen as well as did war industry.
 At preent there is s/apparently no comprehensive scheme backed by our government to assist and cooperate With industrial manufacturers and other agencies to begin new peace time housing developments. It would seem that such @ scheme is necessary and would require not only govern mental aid in financing but govern mental direction and supervision.
 In his peace time plan, Lloyd George of England has included the problem of housing and has given it a place of initial importance. One of the reasons for this is that Eng land recognizes and expects to meet the grave employment situation. Yet Lloyd George is only following out a specific recommendation adopted in 1916 by the Joint Committee on Labor Problems After the War which calls for the erection of "1,- 000,00 new dwellings," and states "the 100000 new dwellings" should be begun the day after peace is de clared, put should De proceeded with month by month, strictly in cores pondence with the supply of building trades workmen so as to leave prac- tically none of them at any time un- employed.
 Some recognized body, and prefer ably the government, should take im- mediate action on the problem of in dustrial housing in this country. The two urgent reasons are, first, the necessity of raising the standard of living of the workmen and providing @ decent place for them to I've in and raise a family; second, the necessity of affording employment to the mechanics from the demobilized army and from munitions plans. The solution of this problem will do more to counteract social unrest and the threat of Bolshevism than anything else.
