Headquarters Postpone Flag
Raising Until Tonight

Additional Victory Loan subscrip-
tions continue to flow into the offices
in the Board of Trade building de-
spite the fact that this city has
reached its qAota, efforts now being
made to see how much of an over
days reported subscriptions entered
on the campaign books totaled ap-
|proximately $4,000, bringing the ac-
tual total to date as shown on the
records up to s1,07S,650.
Owing to the inclement weather
last night the hoisting of the Victory
Loan honor flag over city hall was
postponed until tonight. The Boy
Scout who has sold the most bonds
here during the campaign will be
permitted to raise this prize, which
was the first one to be issued in this
state to city of over $4,000 and the
second in the entire second federal
reserve district.
The Boy Scouts will march from
the Board of Trade building at 1880
O'Clock tonight, proceeding to City
Hall where the honor flag is sched-
uled to be raised at 7:45.
AS the captured German submarine
UB-14S was two hours late in arriv-
ing yesterday, many of those who had
planned to see it during the noon hour
were disappointed. Severau hundred
persons braved the rain to go to the
New York and New Jersey Steamboat
Company's dock in order to at leas,
get a glimpse of one of the under
water which had proven themselves
the terror of the sea for many months
during the war. Subscriptions for sew
eral hundred dollars worth of bonds
were secured from the crowd by
speakers who mounted to the coming
tower of the submarine and appealed
to the wet. shivering crowds to sub
scribe tosth limit.
The submarine stayed at the dock
about an hour, many being permitted
to go below deck and look with won
derment at the mass of pipes, valves
and machinery and the absence OF
anything which would resemble COM
fort. A one pounder was mounted on
the deck of the craft and one notice
able thing in the construction was the
absence of brass and copper, the
Huns supply of these metals being
used up, making 1t necessary to use
iron in their stead.
At about 2:45 o'clock the subma-
rine, preceded by the submarine
chaser s. p. AIS, started up Staten Is
land sound on its way to Elizabeth.
where it was scheduled to make its
saluted by boat and factory whistles
all the way up the sound.
