SPIES LANDED IN u. S.

German in New York Saloon
British Sink Submarine.

Washington, Aug. 20.-A new spy
menace appeared on Monday when the
navy department received reports that
German submarines are landing men
On the shores of the United States.
The first officer of the American
steamer, 0. 3. Jennings, sunk recently
off the coast, reported to the navy de-
partment that he recognized, in a new
York saloon, one of the officers of the
submarine which sank his vessel. The
German officer recognized him also,
the American sailor said, and escaped
before he could give the alarm.
It was learned also from highest Off
cial sources that one of the German
submarines equipped with cable cut
ting apparatus had succeeded recently
in cutting two cables from the United
States to the West Indies. One was a
French cable. These cables were re-
paired by a cable ship operating under
convoy.
Three large German submarines of
the Deutschland type have been oper
ating off the American shore.

submarine was sunk in running bat
tie with Il British tank steamer last
Friday about 80 Omiles northeast of
Nantucket, according to members of

NERVE WILL WIN THE WAR

golf on recent late afternoon with a
young business man. The latter is at

exclusively devoted to manufacturing
munitions for the United States Gov
eminent. AS they were playing one of
the holes near a highway, they heard a
man in little automobile say to his
companion, "That's a pretty way to
help win the war, isn't it?''
The young business man flushed and
turned to his companion. THAT re-
mark illustrates the sort of thing that
makes it so much easier for us fellows
in bomb proof jobs to neglect our
health than to take care of it along the
lines about which you have been lee

are more polite than those strangers,

Your too thin skinned and your
nerves are too raw for the times" the
doctor retorted. "Nothing could better
prove the worth Of my prescription for
more play than your hypersensitiveness
to cheap criticism. Ordinarily you
wouldn't mind petty remarks about
your proper and health giving habits in
exercise and recreation. You and your
associates know that the success of your
business has depended more upon your
steady nerves and healthy mind than it
has on the number of hours you've put
in at your desk.

TALKING BASE BALL
FOR COMING SUMMER

Local base ball enthusiasts are to-
today discussing the question of a
team here in a more serious manner
than at any time since the league
was organized, and many are asking
whether it would be wise to go ahead
with plans for the club, on account
Of war conditions. Some real fans
men and women who like base ball
and have been regular patrons OF
the game here--are doubtful about
the proposition, declaring that this
money should be put into war-sayings
stamps. Others, no less patriotic, are
urging that, as war conditions grow
harder, the necessity for some con-
venient means of relaxation and rec
reation for the business and profess
sional men, as we'll as the people
generally, is more apparent. Base
ball furnishes cheap and ready
means for men who are under strain
to get away for few hours, and is
more readily patronized by those
who cannot afford to get away for
vacations The meeting will be held
