THAT HUN U-BOAT
CONTINUES RAIDS
OFF u. S. COAST

New York, Aug. TO- The Ger
man submarine which on Tuesday
afternoon sank the Dreamwood
onoals nsht snip ana the American
steamer Merak, was last seen i'll
pursuit OF and shelling with two
guns lumber laden schooner and a
tramp steamship of about 1000 tons.
This was learned on the arrival here
of the Officers and crew OF the
sunken Merak.
The Merak, when attacked, the
officers said, was about ,hree miles
north OF the lightship and the work
OF her destruction was interrupted
long enough for the submarine to
disable with shell fire the light Ship
wireless apparatus. After the Merak
had been sunk by bombs, the U-boat
turned full attention TO the light
ship and sent her to the bottom.
This work had no sooner been com
pletcd when the lumber schooner
and the tramp hove into sight and
the submarine put after them and
50 close were they together that the
Germans were able to fire on both
vessels at the same time using guns
mounted lore and ait, on the sub
marines deck. Five hours later as
the boats containing the Merak's
crew were approaching the North
Carolina coast, the men still heard
cannonading, indicating the sink
ing OF the TWO ships had not beeh
completed, or that the submarine
was engaged with some other craft.

HAPPY PUPPIES.

At last the Irish setter puppies had
their eyes opened; lovely blue eyes they
had and their heads were so smooth
and soft. Their ears were long and
their hair was of a wonderful red
brown shade, long and also very soft
They looked very much like their
mother only much, much smaller
They were tiny and they cared mere
about sleep than anything else in the
world.
Adventures might be all right later
on, but for the present sleep was the
most glorious thing. They would fall
over each other and any way they fell
they would 90 sound asleep. Such
strange positions rs they got into when
they slept, but as long as it did not
bother them the mother bet thenn alosc =
"My beautiful puppies she said to
herself as she looked at them. Wien
| they nestled very close to her she look
| ed out of the window of the tool room
| in the barn where their home was for
| the present and thought:
| Il wish | could always keep my pup
| pies safe in here and away from the
world and dangers
Then she would look out of the win
dow again and once more down ut her
puppies and She would think of the dog
! shows where they would win prizes,
| Tor they were perfect, very perfect and
| they were her own puppies!
But they seemed so safe and sleepy
now and she hated to think ahead of
al the troubles that might come to
them. They might he sold to people
who didn't love and understand ami
mails, but She didn't think of that long,
for she knew her mistress would be
very, very careful-she loved the pup
pies too.
After time the puppies were almos
grown UP and in little while after
there was great excitement. Tie pup
pies did not understand it, but the
mother did. She had been to many
dog show and how many prizes shi
had won. She could never count then
for she really couldn't be bothered will
adding and such things-she wanted
to watch her beautiful grown-up pup
pies! For she could hardly believ,
that they were no longer babies.
Were going to the show" she whis
pered to them, that is what all tn
excitement means. We're going TO vii
ribbons and prizes, my beautiful ones
and our mistress will be so happy an,
slad.''
The next day they went-the who'll
) family of puppies and the mother.
The judges were looking at all TIL
! dogs. This Irish setter family beat
them ALL" they said. And each grown
: up puppy and the mother Won prizes
They received the best ribbons of a
and how delighted their mistress wa:
: to be sure.

not leave me, FOR you will come t
other shows at other times. / hav

One of the complaints heard is that
here has been delay about issuing the
Liberty bonds of earlier dates. There
is reason for it. 1t required 4,000,-
900 bonds for the first issue and g.
100000 for the second. Not having
the machinery TO print these before the
call of last year it is going to take
some time to make all the bonds. But
it will be done and no one need worry
next issue, which ought to appeal to
100000 people, will find more presses
and more trained labor to turn then
out.

While women have not come forward

and in business in this country as they
have in Europe, their spheres of use
fulness are being greatly enlarged. The
bureau of labor states that 1,413,oOO
women workers have replaced men in
the United States since 1914. Govern

600 women, but many of the govern

been created largely to handle war ac-
tivities.
