II Is not particularly surprising that n man of Colonel Roosevelt's charac- teristics and temperament should be in the iimelight For a number of years Colonel Roosevelt has been in and out, so to speak, but just now he seems 10 have taken the center of the stage as the most prominent man In private life. Perhaps ii is because he came to Wash lHEteH at time when the adminlstra- ton was undergoing the most severe criticism 1t has sustained since the war began. Back In 1909, when Colonel Roosevelt departed from Washington the day Mir Taft was inaugurated president. If was in hls mind to keep out of Washington. But it was impos- sible for man Ike him to change his nature, so he again appeared in the na- tional capital where he held the center of the unofficial stage.
 One of the amazing things about Colonel Roosevelt is the length of time that he has been in the public eye. He first began to make stir in 1880. was an important factor h the Republican national convention In 1881 came to Washington in 1889 as a civil service commissioner. after that was police commissioner of New York, assistant secretary of the navy, lieutenant colo mel and colonel of the Rough Riders. governor of New York. vice president. president, and since his retirement from the presidency candidate for that position on two successive occa- sions. During all that long period he has not always held the center of the stage but he has been in the spotlight the greater portion of the time.

NO SUBMARINES SUNK
Reports OF Sinlxings in American
Waters Not Authentic.

Washington, June 21.-Altho there
have been various reports recently of
the destruction by patrol vessc~s and
armed steamers of one or more of the
German submarines operating off the
Atlantic coast, it is learned authori-
tatively that the navy department. is
without evidence that would justify
the belief any of the sea wolves have
been accounted for.
In discussing today the many re-
ports that have been circulated about
the destruction of the U-boats since
they first appeare@ in American wat
ers, nearly a month ago, Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt said this situation
IS merely repetition on a small scale
OF experience of the British admiralty.
Mr.. Roosevelt had before him the
quarterly report of the admiralty on
submarine losses, the items included
being only those which were consid-
cred of sufficient credibility to war
rant consideration.
Taking 100 typical reports. Mr.
Roosevelt explained that SO per cent
OF the mhad been dismissed by the
British authorities as highly improb-
able" After careful rechecking 90
per cent of the submarines reported
sunk were listed as possibly dam
aged" Only 1 8 per cent of the total
were recorded as known to have been
sunk"

BOYS WORKING RESERVE

Lyndonville, VT, Sept. 4, 1918.
To the High School Boys of the United
States and their parents.
My dear Friends;
The U. S. Boys Working Reserve is
an organization that is endeavoring to
mobilize the high school youth of this
Nation for productive work in this
time of national crisis, chiefly upon
the farms. Already the farms of the
country have been denuded Of fifty
per cent Of their hitherto available
farm hands. They are about to be
further denuded. 1t is positively GER
tain that the farmers cannot harvest
their crops without the help Of the
members of the U. S. Boys Working
Reserve.
We are therefore appealing to the
schools, to the boys, and to their par
ents to answer the Governments call
and to permit the boys to go to the
farms in order that the harvests Of
the country may be garnered and
saved, and to feed our civilian popula-
ton and our fighting men in France.
This release is thoroughly feasible
if the schools will awake, as many Of
them have awakened, to the necessity
and will accommodate their organiza-
ton to it.
The U. S. Boys Working Reserve
desires to assist in every possible way
in maintaining the education and
TRAINING of American yorlth II ic rs

ing It's every endcavor to protec
American youth from any serious In.
vasion Of its education and training
II the schools are alive 10 their op.
portunity in this crisis il will be per
fectly possible. in the opinion of our
highest authorities among the school
mea themselves, to do the work that
ordinarily done through a nine months
period within the limits Of seven
months period All that the Reserve
is asking Of the boys, and Of their
parents, and Of the schools, is TINT
they shall so adjust themselves TO the
crisis that they will be able to aecomp-
lish within seven months what now
they accomplish easily in nine months.
1t is not necessary in this country
seriously to curtail the time ordinarily
devoted to school work.
Whatever call the Reserve makes
upon the school boys Of the United
States has to do with their vacation
periods. 1t asks the schools in some
instances to prolong a vacation period,
and in some instances il asks the
schools to grant vacation period, in
order that work that is vitality neces-
sary to the winning of the war may
be done But it relies upon the pat
riotism Of the boys to return to school
with firm determination to devote
themselves conscientiously to their
school work, to waste no time in school
hours and to make every moment Of
their school session count in accomp-
fishing the curse laid down for them
by their teachers.
Faithfully yours,
w. f. HALL,
National Director.
