SUBS COMING TO U. S.
Five German U-Boats Leave England
Today.

WASHINGTON, March 90 Five sur
rendered German submarines left England
today for the United States. manned By
American crews and conveyed By the
American submarine tender Bushnell
They are expected to arrive in Amcri-
can waters late in April and will be dis
played at ports to be selected in eonnec-
.tion with the next Liberty Loan cam
paign.
One of these craft is the U-ll7. sea
going mine layer which during the wa,
planted mines along the American coast
Two of them arc the UB-sS and UBlR
regular submersibles of the smaller type
Another is the UC-97, one of tile smal
mine layers, and the fifth is the U-lll
the standard German U-boat Later j
is expected that one of the big cruise
Submarines equipped with deck guns vii
be sent over.
Adverse winds at this season and th
unfamiliarity OF the American crews witt
the machinery make the date of the al
rival of the ships uncertain.
Crews for the submarines were assem-
bled in England, most of the men bcin,
sent from the United States.

is mneh controversy regarding the length
Of the skirt. Skirts being narrow, most
women desire them quite long. but Paris

smart, and designers are wont to follow
both demands The result is that one
