GIVING UP PORTS BY HUNS WON'T CHANCE SITUATION Of Enemy Operationsof Sub marines Is Belief of
 Navy Men.
By Associated Press.

By ASSOclated PfeSS.
 Washington, Oct. 7-Evacuation Of the Belgian ports of Zeebrugge and Ostend which it now appears cer- tain the German leaders have decid- ed upon, will not affect materially the submarine situation, whatever it's military results ashore may be.
 2This is the judgment of both Amer ican and allied naval officials most fully acquainted with submarine War fare.
 News from adjacent neutral ports today apparently made it certain that the coast which was the base for the Flanders submarine flotilla with which the Germans inflicted their heaviest tonnage losses, were being cleared out by the enemy.
 It is pointed out this flotilla was practically wiped out of existence when concrete battle ships were sunk in the entrances of the two bases and a persistent bombing and lombard ing campaign inaugurated which has denied the Germans the use of the bases ever since.
 The Flanders flotilla consisted largely of short rane submarine raid CTS and mine layers which operated
 
 in the channel.
 The crippling of the bases has al- ready made these types useless and in his submarine building the enemy is devoting himself to larger craft.
 The battle ashore has not yet infu- enced the submarine situation so far as officials can see.
 It remains about where it has been for months
 The monthly toll is going down. and will never return to the danger points. officials believe
 This is said to be due to protective measures and the price paid is the withdrawal of naval units for escort duty that might be enaged in hunt ing down and exterminating sub marines
 For a time they were, falling stead ily behind, but their enlarged pro- gram, it is thought. has enabled them to keep even in the number of raid IHNs the. ambition afs naval forses t0farrv the batfle to the submarines aah end the danger. " sssH EThe effectiveness of the submarines Is the point on which the greatest advance has been scored
 The fact that one raider no lonser con get the results it did. is ascrib- ed to the waning morale and skill of enh'narine crews. and protective measures

HERE IS CHANCE
 TO GET BONDS ON
 TIME PAYMENTS
Equitable Life Places In. Surance and Bonds without Commission
 to Promote Sales.

The Equitable Life Assurance So- ciety has come to the front with a proposition that gives subscribers a chance to purchase Liberty Bonds to the amount of $500 and multiples of that sum and have five years in which to make the payments for it- in ten semi-annual instalments. With the purchase goes five year term life insurance for the amount of the bonds purchased.
 The offer is to those who can pass physical examination for the in surance.
 The Equitable plan contempIates actual payments for the Liberty Bond or bonds and the term insurance dur 'ng the five year period for less than the face of the bonds at the time of delivery-when the last pay ment shall have been made. The in terest on the bonds goes to the company however, until the delivery of the bonds, because it puts up the money for them. The interest on the installments and carries the tern insurahce which is lower than the regular tarm insurance rate, because agents are not permitted to charge any commission of any sort.
 The Equitable plan is purely one to facilitate the sale of bonds, and there are not only no commissions for local agents, but the district az encies have to carry the business without any remuneration of any kind.
 H. R. Shepard, the local agent for the Equitable, has a limited mum Der of the contracts for sale in .Ju neau, and is prepared to explain the matter to any one.
