HAS SEEN SUBMARINES.
But They Have Not Got Near Transport
on Which Lawrence Lewis Sails.

Fresh from some exciting experiences
aboard an American transport which its
been carrying American soldiers to Eu-
rope, Lawrence Lewis, seaman in the
United States navy, spent four hours at
the home of his mother, Mrs. o. W Lew
is, in Barre Saturday evening, having
been granted 72-hour leave of absence
from the transport while the vessel was
being made ready for another voyage
after her arrival in an American port on
Friday.
Seaman Lewis, who enlisted in the
navy last May, was called to service on
June | and was for time located on
L. S. battleship, being then transferred
to the transport. On this latter vessel
he has made five trips across the At,
lantic ocean and expects to leave short
ly on the sixth trip, He likes the work
very much. He has seen submarines on
practically every trip but his boat was
so well protected by destroyers that the
U-boats were unable to get in an effcc-
tive attack. He is acting as an assist
ant engineer on the transport.
While on recent stay in Europe Mr.
Lewis heard from some source that Tru-
man Swasey. formerly of Barre, is at
present in command of a mine laying
ship engaged in perilous work close to
German bases. Swasey is a graduate of
the United States naval academy, and it
is supposed that he is a lieutenant t-com-
mander now.

Low AGAIN ARRESTED.
On Warrant Which Was Received from
Washington, D. c.

Carl Heinrich Low, a German alien
whose record in the past nine months in
dicates that he has given the federal au-
thorities good deal of trouble, was
placed under arrest in this city Saturday
afternoon by Deputy L. S. Marshal
George #, Lackey. A warrant for the
young Germans apprehension arrived
from Washington, d. c., shortly before it
was served. Low was committed to .he
Washington county jail, where he is to
be detained until his case is disposed of.
It seems probable that the painter will
be inteTned
He has been residing at IS Pearl street
and it was there that he received sum
mons by telephone Saturday afternoon
to report at Barre police headquarters
Low obeyed with alacrity and showed no
resentment when the deputy read him
the warrant.
Low is one Of three German alien enc
mics who registered with Chief Sinclair
early in February, when the department
of justice set apart definite period for
registration of German aliens. Previous
ly, the police claim. Low went to a local
machine shop and there ground n his
thumb and finger-tips, apparently with
the intention OF thwarting any attempt
to take his finger prints on the registra-
tion blank. The police We're watching
Low, but they said nothing 10 him about
the machine shop incident, and when the
proper time came the painter with three
of his countrymen, fulfilled all the regis
tration requirements.
II will be recalled that Low gave the
county registration officials some trouble
in 1917, and for several weeks he was de
tanned in the county Jail, only to receive |
bis liberty, after the stipulation had been
made that he should report weekly 10

B4TTLE MOMENTUM
IS INCREASING
Says Sec. Baker in Reviewing the Prog
ress of Events on the Western
Front

Washington, d. c., March 4.-Contin-
ued preparatory movements on the part
of Germans along the western front
were noted to-day by the war depart
ment in review of the military situa
tioT for the week ending Saturday. THE
momentum of battle is increasing" the
statement declares. The definite an
nouncement is made that the American
forces have taken over the sector north
west of Toul and that number of de-
tached units are in action in Champagne.
The review intimates that operations
in the eastern theatre are expected to
affect events in France through modi-
fication of German plans. II says that
Turkish forces advancing in the Cauca-
sus are meeting with little resistance
and that they are massacring the Arme.
nian residents of districts retaken from
the Russians.

MEATLESS MEAL BANISHED.
And Porkless Saturday Is Temporarily
Eliminated.

Washington, d. c.. March 4.-Tempo.
rary suspenion of the meatless meal and
of the special restriction against he use of
pork on Saturday was announced bv tie
food administration last night as a re.
adjustment of its food conservation pro-
gram. Increased meat production and
the necessity for still greater saving in
wheat it was declared, make the change
advisable The suspension is made Ell
fective for an indefinite period, and it
probably will last for three months or
longer.
Since all restrictions on consumption
OF mutton and lamb had been lifted
previously the food administration aor
asks the public for the time being to
deny itself in meats only beef and pork
on one day week, Tuesday. Increased
meat consumption, food administration
officials believe, will of itself curtail the
use of wheat and for the present there
is no intention to add to the restrictions
already in force against the use of -four.

Washington, d. c., March 4.--Ger
many's occupation OF the Atland islands
is only a preliminary to the local oc-
scupation of Finland. Official dispatches
TO the Swedish legation say that Ger
many has announced to the Stockholm
foreign Office her intention OF occupying
Finland and Sweden has protested.
Germany advised Sweden the dis
patches say, that it was necessary to oc-
cupy Finland TO restore order but gave
assurances she had no intention OF TAX
ing permanent possession of the terri
tory.
Sweden protested also against the AL

zone. Their occupation, the dispatches
say, is to make them base for sup
plying German occupation of Finland.
About 500 Swedish troops are on the is
lands for police purposes. So far no clash

Goodwin Will Not
Talk of Divorce

Next to the war the most popular
topic for discussion on Broadway Is the
news that Nat c. Goodwin's fifth wife
has sued for divorce.
Neither Mr. Goodwin - who insisted
even after the fact OF the filing OF the
suit in Rockland county had been estab-

the case.
Some persons who have seen Mr..
Goodwin and his fifth wife together
within the last few days in the neigh
horhood OF the Astor theater, where he
is PLAYING the star part in why

the Goodwins will patch up their diff
culties and that there will be no court
proceedings.

say that within the last few days she
has announced her determination to
push the suit II was recalled in this
connection that When Mrs Goodwin
