submarines are operating much far
Their out from their bases than here
tofore. but still on the other side Of
the Atlantic, according to navy de-
partment advices today. These mes
sages Indicated that the q boats are
taking a new course, seeking to sink
ships traversing other than the usual
lanes.
The navy today finished checking
I'D on last weeks feverish rumors OF
raiders and submarines off the At
Iantiv coast and found them to be en-
tirely unfounded.
One Of these reports, not hitherto
published, was a wireless from a
merchantmen at sea, saying she was
being chased by a submarine. This
has been checked up and proven false.

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
BRITISH FRONT, May 23.-(by
ourier)-Secretary Bakers statement
that half a million American soldiers
are in France is not hard to believe
after a trip through the British zone
and President Wilson's suggestion
that the number should not be limited
to five million-or any other figure
can be readily understood.
These remarks are inspired by an
effort to catch sight today Of only one
Of the American units now being
nodded into shape to be Of service to
the British. May be they made ire
mendous impression as they marched
home. may be the cheering crowds
thought the line would never end;
but the correspondents attached to
this particular section ran a fairly
high powered motor car nearly to
death, criss-crossing highways and
lanes and covering territory almost
as large as New England state with
out seeing more than a company or
two.

The plan for establishment OF seven

tria, to be confederated like .he
United states, was being strongly ad-
vocated in Saxony. The newest pro-
sramme in this connection provided
the following lineup:
Dresden as the capital OF Upper
