U-boiats attacked merchant
ships at various places, one
schooner being sunk Is miles off
Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey,
and two tank steamers about $50
miles at sea.
The navy department reported
two more schooners blown up and
sailors of the Edward II. Cole,
which was sunk, said they saw a
submarine closely pursuing a
steamer.
The first attack was made on
the schooner Edward II. Cole, IS
miles off the Jersey highlands, at
p. m. yesterday. The crew land
ed here this morning.
The enemy submers!bles were
shown to have opened less than 40
miles off Barnegat, n. J. They
operated both with bombs and
gunfire.
Blow Up Vessels.
Capt. H. G. Newcombe OF the
Edward II. Cole, declared that two
U-boats flying the German naval
ensign, captured his ship after fir
ing a shot across his bows; gave
the men 10 minutes to abandon
ship, then blew up the vessel with
bombs.
One member of the crew OF the
schooner Cole declared the Ger
man submarines were first sight
ed at a distance OF about 300
yards. They circles around the
American vessel and hoisted the
German naval ensign.
The schooner wa Shaking three
knots in a Fight breeze and the
submarines had no trouble in
lhalting her. One shot was fired
across the vessels bows from a
gun mounted on the forward deck
OF one of the U boats.
Just as the schooner halted, the
smoke of a steamer was seen on
the horizon. One submarine i'm
mediately sheered off and made
away in pursuit.
| steamer Pursued.
| The other Y boat came closer
alongside and the commander
shouted thru a megaphone, giving
the Americans 10 minutes in
which to leave their vessel.
The last seen of the steamer,
Capt. Neweombe said. was when
lit was making full speed to the
eastward, closely pursued by the
herman submarine, which was
eutt,ng along on the surface, fly
ing the German flag.
Officials of the port Of New
York ordered all ships to remain
In the harbor.
The submarine net was swung
across the harbor entrance.

Sailors of the Cole had NO. OPP
portunity to talk TO the Germans,
but they declared the U-boat was
livery bold; that they carried guns
forward and remained on-the sur
race of the water to get greater
|speed.
The Ward liner Esperanto ar
rived here today without having
seen submarines. The captain

I15 days on account of submarines
being reported nearby.

At Boston the collector Of the

OF the submarines had been caught
and that IL was being taken to
New York by naval vessels.
The chief of staff of the third
naval district and the commandant
OF the Brooklyn navy yard said
they had received only vague re-
ports of alleged submarine opera
tions. Some OF these, they said,
placed the toll of victims as high
as Is ships. The chief of staff
said no submarine chasers had
been sent out from New York
SO far as he knew, aside from
those which are constantly patrol
ling the coast.

BETTER THAN CALONEi
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-thc sr.t--4..,. ute for calomel - are q Eild but sure laxative, and their effect oa the liver is almost instantaneous, They are the reo;:it of Dr. Edwards deterr.i.,aticn not to trect liver and bowel complaints with calorlcl.

 These pleasant little tablets do the rcod that calonel does but flave no bad after effects. They don't iHjpre the teeth like strong liquids or c2lomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Caloma eoT.times play5 havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids.

Common garden sage breWed into heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and lux uriant.

An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparG ton improved by the addition of other ingredients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and altractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's age and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so natur ally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand it time by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and Iuxuriant and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requi- site.

USES OF THE SUMACH.

An old friend who was good enough to be pleased by the paragraph the other day about tansy, asks the No mad to pay a little passing tribute to the sumach and to tell incidentally whether he ever heard of that exuber- ant and ubiquitous tree being put to any practical Uc2. Certainly it has been put to use. The most interesting use that the sumac44swas ever put to was it's universal employment, up to recent times, in making supzspouts for maple sugar. The stem of the sumaCh tree has a soft pith which is easily removed, and the pieces of the stem, with this pith removed, made handy cylinders. or tubes which were driven into the sugar-holes bored in the sugar naples. The sap buckets were then hung on these, andsthe sap flowed into them from the tree through the sumach spOuts. Natur-
 ally, the same wood, on account of the
 pith, was used for other purposes where a small cylinder was needed. The sap-spouts now used in sugaring operations are of galvanized iron.

London, Nov. IS - The American Expeditionary Forces yesterday took up the march behind the retiring Ger mare They will progress about 12 miles a day until Pershing's men oc- cupy the German territory specified in the terms of the armistice. The doughboys are marching in columns instead of battle front, fianked by the Fifth French army on the right and the Tenth French army on the left, and observing all precautions against a treacherous attack.
 Late yesterday afternoon the first of the doughboy divisions crossed the Lorraine border, moving along the Moselle valley into the rich mining basin of Briey. The whole front from Sedan to south of Metz was advanced in the movement.
 Entrance of Allied troops upon re- gained provinces of Alsace and LOT raine was celebrated both in the field and in the French cities. A parade of 100000 soldiers was feature of the pageant arranged in Paris, while the other centers of the republic staged ceremonies in proportion.
