The submarines operating Off the At
lantic coast have turned their atten-
ton mainly to the fishing fleets on
the Grand banks and have destroyed
a number of trawlers. One of the lat
ter was captured, fitted out with two
guns and German crew and sent out
as a raider. 1t sank several fishing
vessels, but the navy put a large num-
Der Of swift craft on its trail and It
was predicted that It's career would
be brief. 1t is believed there are
three submarines in American waters,
and number Of steamships have re-
ported battles with them.

Scarcity OF rice caused serious riots
in Japan, the trouble spreading TO
many parts of the empire. The gov
eminent took forceful action to stop
the disorders and also bought up all
the rice in storage to be sold to the
people at reasonable prices. The out
breaks were due to the taking over
by the war department Of large stores
of provisions for the Siberian eXpedl-
ton ard to the boarding of stocks and
imitation OF prices by the rice growers
and spectators.

News from the Americans chiefly
concerned those holding the center of
the Vesle river line. These men made
no especial efforts to advance, but
successfully held on TO all their posi-
tons, despite the great activity Of the
enemy artillery. Their aviators did
much excellent work during the week,
especially in the line of bombing. This
seems destined to be their particular
duty, and it will prove to be of ut
most Importance. The arrival at the

great rejoicing In the army.
