How Many Graves
Unmarked?

How many soldiers graves in
Dickinson County are unmarked?
The War Department will fur
nish beautiful headstones for such
graves. We suggest to the Ameri-
can Legion that the task of mark
ing soldiers graves would be a
worthy one.
There is, at least, one soldier
of the Revolution, and at least one
War of 1912 veteran buried in
Dickinson ounty. Numerous
Confederates and a few union sol
diers are buried in our soil. We
suppose that the final resting place
of all World War veterans are
appropriately marked. However,
we know Of two graves of Con-
federate soldiers that have no
headstones.

 Britain Answers Germany
 London, Aug. 18-(UP)-Great Britains answer to German asser- tions that Danzig and the Polish Corridor must be surrendered was to begin the final drafting today of a military alliance with Poland, re- placing the temporary guarantee given after the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia.
 The drafting was started when Count Edward Raczynsky, Polish ambassador, and Wladislaw Kulski, chief legal adviser to the Polish for eign office, visited the foreign office here this morning and conferred at length with British legal experts.
 Five Year Treaty
 It was reported that the treaty would be effective for five years and would be renewable, and that it would include not only direct or in- direct aggression against Poland but an unprecedented guarantee of as- sistance by Britain if Poland under duress became the object of eco- homie penetration by foreign pow CT.

 They further indicated that unless Poland stopped alleged terrorism against minority Germans-describ- ed under screaming headlines by the inspired press-it might be neces- sary for the government to inter- vene. The manner of intervention was not specified.

 The terrain put the artillery units to a severe test. New York'S horse drawn Hath field artillery took first. honors by concealing batteries in an abandoned quarry from which it commanded eros sroads in the Schuyler Falls area.

 Officers declared they were "well pleased" with the effectiveness of tn artillery in backing up infantry and preventing the enemy approach to the desired high vantage points.

SQUALLS VOWED
 FIVE MILES MORE
Now Within Ninety Feet of Sea Level-Will Be
 Up in Two Weeks
By GARDNER FROST United Press Staff Correspondent)

With the SqualuS Salvage Fleet, off Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 18.- (UP)-The ill-starred submarine Squalus, successfully lowed five miles underseas to shallower water by navy salvageers, rested safely to- day 90 feet below the ocean surface four miles off Rye Beach.
 The $4,300,000 submersible and its cargo of 26 dead yesterday were raised more than 70 feet from the "uncharted mud pinnacle" on which the craft grounded Saturday after being lowed l 1-8 miles from the spot where it sank May 23.
 The second "lift-tow" proceeded smoothly, despite two minor mis- haps. The Squalus, towed stern first at two miles an hour by the tug Wandank, reached it's new level in the lee of the Isles of Shoals at 9:20 p m. (EDT).
 Divers Down Again
 Despite dense fog, two divers went oversides from the salvage ship Fal- con this morning to explore the Squalus. Several other dives were to be made to determine in what manner the submarine would be raised to the surface for its trip to Portsmouth Navy Yard, nearly 1C miles away.
 During operations, slight delay was caused when chains around the bow of the Squalus slipped 30 feet aft. As result, the bow pontoons bore most of the weight during the three-hour tow.
 A broken cable from the SQualus to the salvage ship Falcon also threatened to disrupt operations, but an emergency hawser from the Fall con to one of the lifting pontoons averted trouble.
 The Squalus and Falcon were , lowed by the tug Wandank, maneu- vering to take advantage of currents and to dodge treacherous shoals. The salvage fleet now is on line be- tween Rye Beach and White Island Light.
 Inside Two Weeks
 Though declining to comment of- ficially, directors of salvage opera tions indicated the death-vessel may be lowed into Portsmouth Navy Yard to be drydocked for repairs within fortnight.
 Rear Admiral Cyrus w. Cole, navy yard commandant, said two courses now were open to salvagers.
 One was the blowing of air from the Squalus' own ballast tanks and raising her by her own buoyancy The other was to hitch 10 pontoons close to the ship and surface the submarine before blowing the tanks
 Further progress was hindered this morning by a pea-soup fog which blanketed the coast. But the veS- sells new position providing greater protection from storms and ground. swells, is more favorable for salvage operations.
