U-Boat Has Biu consort

 NORFOLK, Va. June T0.- Surviv- ors of the American freighter Pinar Del Rio, arriving here today from Manteo, N. C., said the German sub marine which sank their vessel 110 miles northeast of Cape Henry last Saturday morning after a stern chase of more than an hour, was accom- panied by a large steamer which they believed to be a mother ship. They also asserted that after their vessel was sent down by gunfire, the submer- sible sank two American sailing ves- sels.
 Mother Ship Big Vessel Walter c. B. Burrows. first assistant engineer of the Pinar Del Rio. described the craft with the submarine as ves- sel of 5000 gross tons with single funnel amidships. She was painted gray and stood some two or three miles in the offing while the subma- rine sank the Rio. When the American craft went down the submarine sig nailed the vessel in international code, Follow me" and the U-boat and her consort steamed away.

LABOR SITUATION IS
SERIOUS in MONTANA

Helena, Mont, Aug. s.-The gov
ernment's action in taking over the
supply and distribution Of labor in
the United States, is being watched
with keen interest in Montana. Once
upon a time this state had an abund-
ance of labor-for in those days Mon
tana's high wages attracted men from
all parts of the country. For weeks,
the situation has been sharply SER
ious.
1t has been said that the mining
industry is the only one in Montana
that has a reasonable supply Of work.
ers. Reports received by Charles D.
Greenfield, state commissioner Of agri-
culture, tell of the dearth of farm
hands. The fact that there has been
a drought in a dozen counties has
eased the situation somewhat as farm
ers in the dry district have gone to
other counties to help in the harvest.
Printing and stereotyping trades
have been hit hard. A local paper has
estimated that Montana newspapers
are working with about one-half their
normal editorial strength. The build
ing trades also have felt the labor
shortage keenly.
1t is known that Montana's delega-
ton at Washington has been active
in it's efforts to relieve the labor de-
ficiency and an announcement affect
ing the state is eagerly awaited. I,

Driftwood Must Heat
Many Homes In Montana

Helena, Mont, Aug. s.-"Catch the
driftwood this summer or freeze next
winter!"
This. in substance. is the text Of q
warning which is being sen broad
cast through Montana this week by
the state fuel administration. Scores
of towns are situated on mountain
streams. Thousands Of cords of wood
are carried down these swirling riv-
ers. 1t is claimed that only a feeble
effort to obtain this wood has beep
made in the past.
Here and there a decrepit negro.
or a bounding pickaninny hauls in a
free supply of wood for the white
months. A few ranchers obtain their
supplies in the same way, according
to state officials who have been quot
ed as declaring that Montana lumber
men are seemingly agreed that there
is no profit in selling wood for fuel.
The people want coal.
Warnings that Montana's coal sup
ply will be short this year have been
coupled with urgent recommends
tons that drift wood be reclaimed.

Members Of Local and
District Draft Boards
U.s. Placed in Class Five

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. s.-As a
part Of the military establishment of
the United States, all members of
local and district draft boards and
all government appeal agents must
place themselves in Glass s.
A wire to this effect was received
from Provost Marshal General Crow
der by Adjutant General Fraser yes
terday. Local and district boards
and government appeal agents are
being advised today that they are
already in the army and that Uncle
Sam thinks they can best serve their
country where they are.
This step is taken. military of1c-
1als say. to overcome any delicacy
which members of these boards
might feel as to their own classiica-
ton under the new registration,
which will take a majority Of these
public servants as we'll as 80 per cent
of the state nj county officials of
North Dakota.

BRITISH YACHT
Submarine Sighted $50 Feet
Away and Yacht Rams It

London, Aug. "Details Of the
sinking Of a German submarine by q
British armed yacht in the English
channel are now available.
After sunset one day a call for
help was picked up by the yacht
which Immediately headed In the d.
rection indicated. Half an hour lat

Of a submarine barely $50 feet from
the port bow.
The yacht drove right over the sub
marine just as the periscope disap-
peared. A distinct jar throughout
the yacht pointed to the probability
that she had rammed the enemy's
coming tower. Two depth charges
were dropped almost Immediately
afterwards.
While bringing his vessel around
to pass over the spot again the cap
tain Of the yacht observed a disturb
ance in the water, a bubbling rush of
water evidently caused by volumes of
air escaping to the surface. A third
depth charge was dropped in the GEN.

emily died away.
One survivor covered with a thick
coating of oil, was picked up. Every
thing possible was lone for him on
board the yacht but it soon became
evident he had suffered serious in
ternal injuries. He died about three
hours later.

INCENDIARY BOMBS

OF late . number Of incendiary
bombs have been discovered In
tact in western grain fields, says
the Grenora Examiner. There
car be little doubt as to their or
igtn. At any event. their acci-
dental discovery at a time when
the effect OF their explosion would
have been DISASTROUS, makes it
worth while to call attention to

This particular variety Of fire
bomb consists OF an ordinary La.
boratory test tube, a third filled
with acid, which is confined in
the bottom part of the receptacle
by an internal cork. In the top
part of the tube there is a cap
sule, or cartridge. filed with Ger.
tain chemicals. The tube is seal
ed with wax. When tho device
is laid horizontally, the acid

STATEMENT
MADEBY BAER
SMCORRECI
State or Council of Defense
Has Not Bought Tract
ors for Farmers.

In q recent issue of the Wash.
ington Post appears a statement
by Congressman Baer that the
state of North Dakota had gone
extensively into the tractor bust.
ness and that these tractors had
again been sold by the state to
the farmers at cost.
Enquiries at Bismarck reveal
the fact that the state or the
Council Of Defense has never
bought a single tractor for this
purpose. While the Council of
Defense at different times have
discussed such a proposition, 1t
never at any time got beyond the
discussion stage.
1t was at one time also dis
cussed and advocated by tho
council, that the individual coun->
ties purchase from 800 to 500
tractors to be placed at the dis
pOsal of the farmers, who needed
them, but the council at no time
considered the investment of q
penny of its own money in this
proposition. The governor dwelt
upon this project at considerable
length when the newspaper men
had q conference at Bismarck,
and he suggested that the state
might find some way of financing
the deal. But he regarded action
individually ON the part of tho
counties preferable.
Congressman Baer's statement
was, therefore, not only ill-ad-
,vised. but hardly in accordance
with the truth.

|LlCNlTE RATES

Bisarck, N. D., Aug. st is ap-
parent from new rates on Ignite an
nounced by the United States railway
administration today, that North Da-
kota is not expected to dispose of
much Of its native coal in Minnesota.
tariff on Ignite from Noonan to
Grand Forks is $40. To East
Grand Forks, Mimi, a mile across
the river, the rate is 1907, a differ
ence of $1.37. Up to January, 1915,
the railways voluntarily maintained
a rate of $1.74 per tons from Noonan
to East Grand Forks. Allowing for
all the increases granted by the in
terstate commerce commission since
that date, the present rate should not
be in excess Of $2.19, says James A.
Little, rate expert of the North Da-
kota railway commission
The rate from the Noonan mines
to Minneapolis Is $40. With war
tax Of 33 cents per ton; price fob.
mine Of 50 and retailers profit Of
$1.75. the price Of a precious ton Of
Ignite to the Minneapolis consumer
would be 1920. Minneapolis will not
buy much Ignite at this figure, local
producers fear.
East Grand Forks is 2s5 miles
from the head Of the lakes and 3O4
miles from Noonan. The freight
rate on SOFT coal from the docks at
Superior and Duluth to East Grand
Forks is $2.02, or $1.05 less than the
rate from Noonan to East Grand
Forks.
Low interstate rates on Ignite had
been urged as a means Of assuring
western Minnesota a economical
coal supply. Under the rates now
established It is apparent. says the
railway commission, that the nation

to use eastern coal and that it does
not wish to see North Dakota open
