ALLIES TO INSIST ON DEFINITE REPLY
OF THE "sEREs. :,

Hope" there won't be 8, bad omen as there was at the last one" was remarked in the crowd that came to witness the launching of the fifth ship at the Housatonic ship yards, Stratford, this after noon.
 You know the last ship when she struck the water, turned her bow up stream. That's a bad sign. The sailors say she'll never get far from home when she turns her nose towards land the first time she hits water.
 "At the first launching they didn't pull the cord hard enough to break the bottle, and so the ship did not get her taste of wine as she left the ways. The men be- low grabbed the bottle and drank the wine. but that did not take the curse off the ship.
 There was no hard luck this time. Mrs. Ethyl Munson, vie of George W. Munson, Jr., superin- tendent of the shipyard was spon- sor, and she saw to it that the bottle broke and the ship turned seaward when she struck the waters of the Housatonic.
 The "Seres'' is PSI feet long and has 46 feet beam, she was taken to NorwaIk prior to going to Providence where she is to be fitted with machinery.

Orders were sent from Berlin to intercept her and ! she was captured at the German taken to their line under arrest. My daughter will be able to place before the German court overwhelm- ing eSridence against her husband and will be able to prove against him many instances of the grossest cruel ty.

More Arrests Are Due
For Completely in Smash
of Philadelphia Bank

Philadelphia, Aug. 25.-The COM
ing week. the sixth since the fail
ure of the North Penn Bank, will
be marked by the issuance of three
or four more warrants for persons
charged with implication in the two
and-a f-million-dolla looting by
the district attorney.
Notice of the new arrests to be
made was given yesterday by AS
sistant District Attorney James Gay
Gordon, Jr., who, with Assistant
District Attorney, Joseph H. Taulane
is probing the case for the Com
monwealth. At his home in Wes-
town, where he had gone to rest
Sunday, Mr.. Gordon refused to di-
vulge the names of those to be ar
rested. Seven arrests already have
been made, the defendants being
held in bail ranging from $4,000
for a S35-a-week teller to $500 for
millionaire former congressman
and banking commissioner.
1t is the fact of the insignificant
$500 bail which leads those inter
ested in the investigation to believe
that one of the four new arrests
will be in reality a rearrest, and that
a second warrant, on n new charge
will be served on Daniel +. Lafean
former banking commissioner, OF
York, Pa, as soon as he sets foot in
Philadelphia.
