(BY ASSOCIATED .PREss,

German submarine operations from
the harb0r Of Ostend Belgium, have
been seriously hampered for time.
If not rendered impossible by a dar-
ing. raid made on the harbor by the
British Friday morning. An official
statement issued by the British adj
miralty says that the channel leading
outQttfe inner harbor has been com
pletANBl6cked by the hulk Of the old
cruiser inVdictive, which was man
euvered unto position under heavy
fire andy then sunk by bombs. 1t ap.
pears, however, there is some doubt
that the entire channel is, blocked, one
report saying the vessel lies at an
angle and does not absolutely inter-
rupt the use of the fairway. ~
Denial Affirmation.
The German official statement con
corning the raid says the attempt was
a failure, and that the hulk of the
old cruiser lies outside Of the naviga-
ton channel. This report may be
compared to the one issued on April
"a, the day following the raid on Zee
brQEge, which claimed no damage was
done to the mole or the ,harbor there.

WilIimantic Camp Ground

Wiliimantic Camp Grounds, Aug 21, 191S.-The second morning of the camp meeting opened so cool that GVercoats and other wraps were in evidence. The morning period of wor- snip was consequently adjourned from the tabernacle to the seats iii the audi tCrium, where everyone could take his place in the sun. whose warm rays were very comforting. Brother Scriv- ener led brief praise service. and prayer was offered by Rev. William Crawford, of Norwich Town and Rev. W. H. Dunnack. of Burnside. The at ter was the leader of the meeting and lis subject was the Need Of Prayer" Prayer is as necessary as breathing. l ts reflex influence upon the soul is most valuable. The praying man does his work better, he will have better health, because cares that fret are banished away. Christ rose early that hc might pray. He kept the Morning Watch. Christ's public prayers were brief, but he continued long in the provileged necessity of private prayer. Prayer affects our personalities. The place of prayer is the place of par con, purity, peace and power Pray CT followed by Revs. G. G. Scriener, w. H. Dunnack and J. M Potter.
 re second PerIoOy -DlpIe OpuOJJ was in the hands of Rev. w. H. Easton, who especially delineated "The Pro phet and His Character" The pro- phet was the optimist of his day. Man is naturally lazy. physically and in- tellectually. Folks don't like to think earnestly on the Bible. We are spirit ually lazy. content with little or no progress. The prophet was very hu- man and practical Every Christmas has real prophetic relation to God.
 The next period was/ in charge of Rev. M. S. Stocking, of DanieIson, who called upon the deaconess of the Dan | ielson church. Miss Helen Draper, who quoted at some length from book entitled, "The Gospel for a Working | World" by Harry F. Ward, showing | how backward America is yet in pro- tecting employees from the dangers o1 | defective construction of poison, the unchristian estimate by employers ot 1 their employees, considering their lives worth only what they can produce
 The workers are used up in making goods instead of life. The fact of this speeding up really makes the physi- | cal system poison itself.

fss- .t sH American Thread company of this city who sSruck because one of the men was not a member of the union in their department will return to work Wednesday morning. The man has consented to join the union. The em- ployes stopped work late Friday aft ernoon of last week, after the man had refused to join the union. All of the other workers in that department, about 75, belong to the union. They remained at their machines Friday aft ernoon, Saturday. and Monday morning 1 until 10 o'clock, when they left the plant.
 The striking employees, who are en- gagged in war work. asked that the man either join the union or pe trans ferred to a non-union department in | the mill. The officials of the company would not try to influence the man in either direction.
 Tuesday afternoon a government in | scpector from Bridgeport talked to the | man and influenced him to join the | union, so the strike is over Several | of the employees were very bitter to- ward the man. as they lost about $10 | each by the strike, and did not want 1 him to be allowed to enter the union. | Stokes Watson, local jitney man had an unusual experience early Tues | day morning, when he went to collect l the fare from his passenger and found I that he was among the missing. The | passenger. Alfred Childs lives in Ash 1 ford, Stokes stopped his car at the foot | of the hill and the man said that he 1 lived at the top, but when the car ar- 1 rived at the top of the hill the passeng- 1 CT had left him, evidently getting out 1 when the car was going up the hill.
 The matter was referred to the police, | and later dropped when Childs agreed
 to pay for the trip.
