Attacked in Heavy Fog.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Sept. To-
After lull Of nearly three weeks the
German U,hoats renewed activities in
American waters last night by firing
ON q ship when she was about ninety
miles from the coast. The steamship
was coming in ballast, and had ninety
six wounded Canadian officers on board,
who were ON their way home TO re-
cupcratc. Five shells were fred at the
ship.
The peculiar feature Of the attack
was that officers on the bridge could
not hear a sound from the submarine
when the shells were fred. They could
see the flash Of the gun and heard the
explosion when the shells struck the
sca One Of the Canadian artillery Off
GERS, who watched the shooting from
the deck, said that in his opinion the
U.boat was using deck mortar in
stead of the usual 80 Krupp gun,
which is similar to the United States
six-inch gun, because there was no loud
explosion when il was fired.

for high school girls in New York state
to help farmers in the fields; for col
lege girls in the Middle West to do
general farm work; for Polish women
in New Jersey to pick potatoes and for
boys and girls across the continent in
Washington to gather fruits.
All this work is part of the cam
paign to ''save the crops and beat the
Huns
/ 1t is the aim of the Y. w. G. A. to
demonstrate the best ways Of housing
and feeding farm laborers and so take
the burden from farmers wives.
! In all the places where women arc
working under the direction Of the Y.
w. G. A. a house is provided for the
laborers, with supervisor in charge.
The supervisors business is to make
all business arrangements with the
farmers and provide the food. II chill

Y. ". c. A. Helps French
Munition Workers

Twelve social centers, or foyers, as
they are called by the French, are run
by the American Y. w. G. A. for girls
and women who are working In the
great munition factories of France.
Two of these are In st. Etienne and
three in Lyon. All have cafeterias
connected with them.
Girls and women who work in these
factories are of all classes and ages,
but all are French. The men en-
ployees are of every nation-Chinese
sCingalese, Algerian, Moroccan and
Portuguese. Many of the women are
refugees. Multitudes have lost every
relative and friend. There are daugh-
ters, mothers and grandmothers among
them.
These foyers are the only place ex-
cept the street that the. majority have
in which to spend their out of work
hours. Barracks for sleeping, eating
and bathing are the only provision
made for the comfort of the workers
by the management of the factories.
The women and girls meet their
men and women friends in the foyers,
sew, write letters, press out their
waists, stitch on the sewing machines
read and rest. The rooms are their
| homes. Games and entertainment are
| provided and educational classes. OIL
| the classes the English ones are by fal
| the most popular.
All these foyers are sanctioned BY
the French Ministry of War;

Spring Sports.

The coming of spring is celebrated
first by marbles. Groups of boys.
and sometimes groups of girls, also,
win be found in sunny spots out of
doors playing this fascinating game
But it will last only few weeks; 1t
is distinctly a seasonal game.
Some persons are disturbed when
they see children playing for "keepS"
because they think this will develop
gambling propensity. But playing
for keeps" Is not the same az play
ing with cards or dice or the like.
This game does not depend upon
chance; it depends upon skill almost
entirely, and we regard il as proper
for anyone, young or old, to retain
what he gains by the exercise of his
skill, provided that he plays according
to the rules of whatever game he
plays. So the boz who can shoot mar
hles more skillfully than his rivals
thinks he is entitled to profit by his
superior judgment and accuracy; and
anything which will not be proper for
him to do in principle later on. On the
other hand, if he were tossing pennies
or dice for gain. or winning in any
other way that depended solely upon
chance, he would be developing ten
dency to trust to luck. and this would
be Il serious injury to his intellectual
life and his disposition.-Th Moth
