ICE SHORTAGE
THREATENS BATH

Bath, Nc. Jan. 1l.--Bath is threat
cned with an ice shortage next sum
Nor. 1t will be due to the inability
to procure labor. Skilled lee men are
scarce and this winters harvest will
he small unless some concerted effort
is made TO torelay for the contingency
that is sure to arise aud people make
their own plans for harvesting a sup
ply at once.
The Mill Pond Ice Co. will not
! harvest n pound this winter accord
inc to the present outlook. The rea-
son is explained by Mark W. Sewan
of the company on account of his in
ability to procure suitable labor. Il
found it impossible to get even SIX
men to do the preliminary work, :"
said Mr.. SeWall this morning. He con-
! timed with my present gear I could
harvest my supply with 90 men but
can't get them
Mr. Sewall usually harvests about
1000 tons each winter while the
Diamond Spring Co. harvests about
I the same amount. The ice crop on
the Goddard pond has not yet been
cut and it is said that great difficulty
will be experienced there as the ice is
frozen on bottom. While Alex Niaso,,
and Summer Drawn Of the Diamond
Spring Co, are planning to cut an
extra amount Of ice tins winter, the
source Of supply is said to be i.isuf-
ficcnt for the entire city.
1t has been suggested that the city
might he able to go into the ice bust
ness for tho purpose Of relieving u
situation that promises to he serious
before the summer is over. Those
who lave an opportunity to cut,
harvest and store enough for their
own use have been advised to look
out for themselves"

LONDON. July Correspondence
OF the Associated Prcss) Within the
last three months the number OF Ger
man submarines destroyed has been
greater than in any similar period
since the beginning OF the war.
Depth charges have played an inn
portant part in putting an end TO
the activities OF U boats.
Details OF the sinking of three Ger
man submarines, two, OF them by
British submarines. recently became
known in London. A British patrol
boat on a moonlight night sighted an
enemy submarine on the surface
about half a mile away. She was
apparently recharging her storage
batteries.
Full speed ahead" was the com
mand Of the patrol boat captain, but
by the time the boat reached the spot
the submarine had disappeared. The
British craft Immediately dropped
six depth charges, Quantities OF oil
came to the surface soon afterward,
and then cries for help, in German,
were heard. The patrol boat searched
| for survivors OF the submarine but
was able to rescue only one OF the
| enemy,
While on patrol duty somewhere"
off the east coast, a British submar-
inc sighted the periscope OF an en,rny
L boat and started for 1t under full
speed. Before the German could SUD
merge the Britisher had rammed IL

Finally the L boat go; away She
made desperate efforts to keep afloat,
but finally sank. The British sub
marine was not damaged
On another day British and Ger
man submarines played hide and

manoeuvrinE for position to attack
the other. The Britisher finally fired
a torpedo but missed. A few min
utes later second torpedo went
home, striking The German submarine
close TO the stern. With smoke pour
