y. S. to Help Drive
U-Boat From Adriatiic

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The pres
encc of Vicc-Adniral Sims at Rome is
regarded here as not having to do with
any proposed assault on the Austrian
naval base at Pola, OH the Adriatic, as
has been stated in some published re-
ports, but to be more likely connected
with plans for cleaning up the sub
marines in the Mediterranean.
Naturally navy officials here are not
discussing such plans as they NAV
know of, but the suggestion that a
naval drive on Pola is in contemplation
meets with a cold reception. The Aus
trian base is we'll located and thanked
by land defenccs of the strongest char
acter. 1t is doubtful that proposal to
storm these dcfences from the sea,
without land support, would be favored
by any power.
There seems no doubt, however, that
Admiral Sims's visit to Rome was con-
nected directly with plans mapped out
by the naval section Of the Supreme
War Council. 1t Is certain that def
mite part in whatever is in prospect
has been reserved for the American ma
val forces.
One chief object sought by any plan
| that may have been laid by the naval
strategisty necessarily is the elimina-
tion of the submarine in the Mediter-
1anean. The U-boats, most CT then
German built and German manned, have
exacted heavy toll in these waters.
In general way naval opinion here
appears to favor a bottling-up cam
paign against submarines in the Adri-
attic, rather than assault by sea on the
bases. Ways and means of carrying
cut such plan depend on many fac
tors not available for discussion.

Conductress Arrests Man
Takes Driver to Police When
His Wagon and Car Crash

Miss Lillian Hupfer, of 1889 Myrtle
Avenue, greensboro, is one of the new
conductresses. Likewise the testimony
of all eye-witnesses agree that Miss
Hupfer is pretty.
Philip Rochefsky, twenty-four-years
old, Of 448 Powell Street, Brooklyn, is
the driver of a brewery wagon. Like
wise, he has an eye to beauty. Last
night he saw it on the rear end of a
Wyckoff Avenue surface car. The
beauty was Miss Lillian Hupfer, Of
1889 Myrtle Avenue, Greensboro, one
of the new conductresses.
According to Miss Hupfer, RochefsSy
sought to attract her attention. Fail
ing. he turned his team in, directly be-
hind the car. and for blocks kept a few
feet in the rear.
firing, finally, of the unwelcomc at
tention, Miss Hupfer signalled the mo-
torman Of the car to stop. He did
suddenly. The horses didn't. The re-
suit was broken glass in the vesti-
bule of the car. Then Miss Hupfer
hoped off, grasped the drivers reins
and ordered him to climb down.
He did, and she took him to the ely
mer Street police station, a prisoner
