SUB PAINTED WHITE

s Boston, August 13-Reports by sur vivors of fishing vessels sunk off the New England coast by a German sub marine indicated today that the enemy craft had not been out as long as some of it's officers has endeavored to make 1t appear The submarine is painted White. Two of the fishing fleet cap- tains agreed that the hulk had been painted very recently and they said that it did not seem that the U-boat could have been in American waters as far back as May.
 The vessel was described as 300 feet in length with two guns, six-pounders, mounted fore and aft. Survivors said there were at least 100 in the crew and that the captain of the prize crew ap- peared more Spanish than German. In several cases the commander of the U-boat told the American officers whose vessels were sunk that his cruis- ing radius was 17,000 miles, which would give him many miles to spare beyond voyage from German port to this side and return.
 All vessels destroyed were first Searched and every gallon of oil that might be of use on the U-boat was taken

 While aboard the submarine Captain Russell said he observed the officers and men closely. All of them were young. The commander was not more than 21 and most of the crew were be- low that age. They evidently were not familiar with the Atlantic coast and depended wholly, he said. on bulky sets eof charts.

Bessemer, August 3-(Specal)-At this time, when the Bessemer people are ex- pecting the appointment of a postmaster. it is interesting to note the increase in the postoffice receipts over last year Business for the month of July last year was $2420, while in July of this year 1t was $3351, showing an increase of $sSl Business for June, 1918, showed S2e5S while the July business was in excess of that of last year. Postmaster Glosson confidently expects the receipts for the month of August to exceed $3o0O. At this rate the Besserner postoffice will be placed in Class l, the requirement for which an office must show postal receipts for one calendar year to be $40,000. There is much speculation in regard to the ap- pointment of a postmaster to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Postmaster Houston. as it is known that several prominent business men of Bessemer have applied for the position.

It was ac- cepted by the commandant of the Sixth naval district, who must have satisfied himself concerning it, MT. Daniels said, before transmitting it to the depart ment.. Additional reports have been requested by the department and ara expected soon.
 No previous accounts of gas attacks by submarines have been received, nor has there been any information coming to the statement that the U-boats are equipped for such attack. Some of ficials, however. do no regard it as at all improbable that in carrying out their campaign of "frightfulness'' the Germans would make whatever use of gas by submersiDles that might be found possible.

Following a resolution adopted
by the grocers of the Sixth Ward
at meeting held Wednesday
night at the city hall, the local
food administrator issued the
following regulations governing
future systen,> If delivery from
all retail grocer dealers in the
Sixth Ward, St. Mary Parish:
Deliveries will be made on the
day following receipt of orders.
Orders given on Saturday will be
delivered on Monday. Only one
delivery a day to each customer.
Monday of next week will be the
last day of the old system. Or
ders given on the following day,
Tuesday will be delivered on
Wednesday. The new system
to become effective Tuesday,
November IL.
Housewives to adjust them
selves to the operation of the
new system will simply order
each day for the following, just
as they have done in the past
on Saturdays for Sundays needs.
In the future, anticipate your
food requirements for each "a
hours, every day in the week,
instead of for one day only, as
formerly. And don't forget
that only one delivery a day
will be made over each route.
The local, food administrator
stated the public should bear In
mind that the grocers are bound
to strict observance of these
regulations and will not be per-
mitted any deviation to comply
with requests of customers, or
for any personal reasons. The
order applies to all dealers of the
Sixth Ward regardless of the
methods used for deliveries. All
modes of transportation are re-
|stricted to one trip a day to each
customer. The boy who makes
deliveries on foot is affected by
the new order as we'll as the au-
to truck and horse wagon.
Preceding the resolution a
general discussion was held as
to how best the grocers could
change the operation of their
business to conform to the ur-
gent recommendation of parish
and state councils of defense as
to man-power conservation. The
action taken is believed to be q
very satisfactory solution of the
problem and will bring results Of
value to "help win the war" ef-
forts of the ward and parish.
It is predicted that it will mean
a saving of man-power and ma
terials. However to make it
thoroughly effective the public
must cooperate!
