U-BOAT WARFARE
BROUGHT OVER SEA
FoRLORN HOPE OF GERMANY
TO DRAW HOME SOME OF
AMERICAN NAVAL FORCES.
Submarines Fail to Sink Transports
on Account of Convoy and Turn
Against the Defenceless
Coast~ise Ships.

hington.-Germany at last has
brought her submarine warfare TO the
shores of the United States. appar-
emily in a forlorn hope of striking
telling blows on this side of the At
lantic and OF drawing home some Of
the American naval forces from the
war zones, where the U-boat menace
is being slowly but surely strangled to
death.
In the attacks upon coasting vessels
almost in sight of the Net Jersey shore
reported Monday. naval officials see
frantic admission from Berlin that the
submarine has failed. American armed
power is rolling overseas in ever-in-
creasing force, despite the utmost exer-
tons of the undersea pirates off the
coasts of Europe.
Turk for Days for Prey.
Now the raiders have crossed the sea
and lurked for days near Americas
greatest ports. They no doubt were
sent to sink transports, but here again
they failed. Blocked off the troop
ships by convoy craft, they have turned
in fury against defenseleSs coasters.
In all the record of destruction they
have written, the raiding party has
struck at no vessels bound overseas
and therefore armed for fight. Only
ships that could not hit back have
been attacked. The only one of half
a score of vessels probably sent to the
bottom that had any real military
value in ship or cargo was an oil
tanker.
Some Victims Aboard U-Boat.
The crews of some of NE craft de-
stroyed have been brought into port,
with a story of eleven days imprison-
ment aboard an enemy submarine
During that period, scores of troop
and supply ships have passed in and
out, on the business of crushing the
German army in France. The U-boat
found no weak link in the chain of
armed craft that guarded them.
Secretary Daniels went to the capt.
tol Monday to tell members of the
house naval committee that the raid
was designed to brighten the American
people into demanding the return of
war vessels from the other side. He
gave assurance that congress need
have no apprehension as TO protection
of the American coast and that there
will be no recall of forces from the
war zone.

FAIRBANKS ANSWERS CALL.
Former Vice-President Succunbs 70
Attack of Chronic Ailment.

ianapoiis.-Charies Warren Fair
banks. former vice-president of the
United States and former United States
senator from Indiana, died at his
home here June 4. Death was due TO
intestinal nephritis, which had been a
chronic ailment with him, but was not
regarded as particularly serious until
recently. All members of the former
vice presidents family, except Major
Richard Fairbanks, who is in France,
were at his bedside.
Mr. Fairbanks was sc years old, and
had been nominated twice on the Re
publican ticket for vice-president of
the United States. After his first NOM
ination he was elected, but was de-
feated in his second race in 1916.
The distinction of birth in a log
cabin. which fIlustri0us Americans of
an earlier day commonly had, was also
that of former Vice-President Fair
banks. 1t is probable that he was the
last of American statesmen to have
been borne in one of these cabins.
The one where he WAS born. on May
II. 1852. was at Unionville Center.

SECURING THE SEA
FOR HUN U-B0ATS
DEsTRoYERs SEARCHING FOR
SUBMARINES THAT ATTACKED
UNARMED VESSELS.
French Steamer Attacked by Raiders
is Saved from Destruction by an
American Destroyer off the
Maryland Coast.

Washington. - Enemy submarines
still were operating off the American
coast on June f. A French tank steam
er, the Radioleine, first transatlantic
craft TO be attacked by the raiders,
was saved from destruction at 80
o'clock Tuesday morning by an Amer
lean destroyer, sixty-five miles off the
Maryland coast.
The same destroyer found the coast
ing schooner Edward Il. Baird, Jr.,
sinking after having been bombed in
the same vicinity, making seven
schooners and four steamers known
officially to have been sunk by the
raiders.
Announcement by the navy depart
ment Of these facts, disclosed that the
raid in American waters had not ended
with Mondays tale of destruction, up
setting the theory that the raiders
probably were speeding homeward.
Coast patrol vessels had not acted on
theory. They now are closing in from
all directions ON sthe scene Of the
raiders last exploit, securing the sea
for further trace Of enemy U-bOats
as they come.
Secretary Daniels directed that the
brief report from the destroyer be
made public. The destroyer herself,
with two survivors from the Baird, a
279 ton craft hailing from Whining
ton, Del, was still hunting for the
enemy.

EDGAR n. CLARK

After sixty years of residence in
Fulton county, Edgar H. Clark of Do

1918, aged eighty-two years, five

Mr.. Clark was born in Allegheny

he came with his father and family
to Fulton county, Ohio, as a young
man of twenty-five about 1858 and
since that time this county has been

This young man answered his
country's call and enlisted in the
67th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, serv.
ing with that regiment for three
years in the struggle to preserve the
Union and secure freedom for the
slaves of the South.
January goth, 1867, he was unitet

RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross rooms during the
past week have been rather quiet.
Some changes are being made in
mode of apportionment at headquar-
ters in Cleveland, owing to an over
supply in some lines and a deficit IN
others. In order to equalize the sup
ply they will now assign quotas to
each chapter. All supplies will be
bought from Cleveland headquarters
and will be requisitioned and shipped
as quotas are given out. There has
been some delay in shipping supplies,
but we must remember it takes time
to make these changes and send out
quotas and deliver supplies to all Red
Cross chapters in Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky, During this dull time
workers can get little rest and be
fresh for the drive when supplies ar
rive. For the last few days the Red
! Cross ladies have been making sur
gical dressings and garments for the
Wauseon hospital.
The following quota has been as
signed to Fulton county to be finished
by September 1:
100 girls pinafores.
125 small eapes.
200 petticoats.
400 chemises.
1000 pairs socks.
100 sweaters.
The garments are for the French
and Belgian refugees.
If the branches need work, quilts
may be pieced, which will be given
to the French and Belgian relief.
There are $3.50 Red Cross organi-
cations in Ohio, Indiana, and Ken
lucky, the Lake Division states.
Three hundred and fifty-seven of
these are chapters; 1,052 are branches
and 1,271 are auxiliaries.
The summary of the organization
, by states is as follows:

Dear Mother:

We left Alabama Monday morning
and passed through Georgia, North

New York.
Our present camp is on Long ISL

We were met at. the train by the
Red Cross ladies at Columbus, Ga.
and even pouring-down rain did moi
stop the ladies from walking up ane
down the outside of the train anl
passing out cigarets, magazines ane
candy, and even soft drinks. I tel
you, such ladies' deserve great dea
of credit, but of course what they dt
is nothing like giving up son. w,

at Philadelphia.
We reached Jersey City at nigh
and walked down to the pier and ha,
our first look at New York, just acros
the Hudson river; we could also Sc

The next morning we crossed tn
river and then went up along tn
island, passing under the famou

York is some town, and even if W
are only here for couple of week
am going to try to get down there
, and after the war I am going to G

DON'T EXPECT THE
CHILDREN TO DO 1T ALL

Owing no doubt to the good work
of those hustling, keen young boys
and girls who have so generously
given of their time and their PEN
nies to the thrift campaign, the i'm
preston has been created in the
minds of many that War Savings
Stamps are for children only.
Let US stop To consider the mat
ter for a moment
The Congress authorized an issue
of two billion w. S. s. to De sold in
1918. The purpose of the stamps
was twofold: (1) To get money for
the government for war needs; (2) to
nstill in the American people and
by the practice of thrift save labor
and materials for the government
Can we expect the children, splen-
did workers that they are, to account
for two billion lo'lars oe stamps?
DO VIC consider mat the children
alone of all our population need to
be inculcated with the thrift IDEA ?
Are they the only spendthrifts
Certainly not!
War Savings Stamps are for ev-
cry one. No one, be he millionaire
or be he the humblest laborer, car
say truthfully that he is not inter
ested in W. s. S. and the saving
program that they stand for.
There are, indeed, few men ant
women in the land unable to save anC
economic more than they do now
If they want to be listed among tn,
patriotic people of the land they
must save and economize more thar
thev do now. The winning of the wal
with the least possible sacrifice d,
mands this, for there are not enough
labor and materials for the govern
ment's war needs and for the use o
the spendthrifts.
Cut those useless expenditures. Al
of us have them. Remember that GU
boys in the army and navy do no
expect luxuries and do not grumbl
, even if they do not get all the com
, forts that they are supposed to gel
e On or before June 28 show tn
! children that you, too, are enlisted i
the War Saving Army.
