The report of Ambassador Page on ^ the American steamer Nebraskan, damaged ofr the coast of Ireland, was Y laid before President Wilson. It came to the State Department by cable and, the work of deciphering it was begun immediately. No intimation ^is to the contents of the report was given pending its review by the President. jT Administration officials still awaited with unusual interest authentic advices as' to how the Nebraskan was damaged. The British admiralty reported that the ship had been tropedoed, but the cnptain'r report to his owners indicated a doubt as to whether she had been struck by a torpedo or mine.

Messages received by the State department from .Ambassador Page and Consul # Frost at Queenstown , failed to say definitely whether the steamer Ncbraskan had been tornedc cd or had struck a mine. One of the dispatches said the Nebraskan's American flag had been hauled down five minutes before she was struck, although her name was painted on her sides in letters six feet high. The American naval attache at London has been sent to Liverpool to examine the Negraskan's hull. o Militia to Pay. To puf an end to the losses and damage to rifles and other govei nment property issued to the state militia, Secretary Garrison has directed that hereafter all amounts for such losses be deducted from the pay of responsible officers and enlisted men. This action became necessary *b cause of the increasing loss of Federal property and the failure of" militiamen properly to care for thai equipment. The law provides that all govern-: ment property issued to the organized j militia remains "the property of the i United States" and must bo "annually accounted for by the governor of the state." Secretary Garrison's action was has i ed on an opinion just rendered by . Hrig. Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, judge' advocate general of the army in which J he holds that the pay of any person j "who is in arrears to the United Sta- ; ,tes may he withheld until he has paid | into the treasury all sums for which I he may be liable." ^ ;; || service is being ? % I many, and it's ? a I friends aL! the ? % \ matter of keep- rt hed and polish- I ft , Why should % jjj| leasant work at J[ X i t u have a cliauf- / o i 1 can take this a s tr hands?

The window and door screens also should receive careful attention. Noth ing less than a number 1 (> mesh should bo used. The 14 and 12 mesh are found more commonly, but these j arc not satisfactory, although a thin coat of paint on the 14 will make it effective. The number 12 mesh should be exchanged for number 1(1. The screen doors should open outward and should bo hung with spring hinges. If there is a gallery or veranda thin; should be screened, too. The extra expense wil lbe ciTsctt by the saving on the doors and winnows opening on to the veranda.

CAMFAIGNUNDER SEA ALARMING TO BRITIAN % 3ut Notwithstanding Trade Continues and War Opera ticns are Going On LATEST WAR MEWS REPORT FEW CHANGES lilt tie Change Reported on Either the Eastern or Western Fronts. j The German submarine menace is wringing English officials to realize the great danger threatening England if Germany increases largely the number of her undersea craft. This has been impressed on the British mind by the success of submarines operating in the Dardanelles, their sver increasing activity around the British Isles and the threat to carry this form of warfare to the Suez anal. Today cane reports of the sinking n the Briitdi steamers Cadeby and Spennimeor and the Swedish bark M. Roosvall and the statement that the big liner Argylishire was chased and tired on. by an undersea boat but escaped to Havre. Trade to and from British ports goes on as if there were no submarine danger, and it is stated there will be no interruption in the operations of the Darndonclles. The fleet will have to assist the armv in thr? nnllir?r?]i ... peninsula, taking chances of desctructjon by submarines and mines or shell lire. The Turks and their officers probably will have another invasion to meet before long. Unofficial reports reaching hero today are that the Italians have landed on the Island of Rhodes, off the coast of Asia Minor, while a cruiser has been bombarding Eedrim, which is on the Gulf of Kos on the mainland of Asiatic Turkey, rot far from Rhodes. This is believed to ho the first step in as* attempt to land or. the A na Miner ? oast. There lies been little or no change in the situation on the Eastern or Western battle fronts. The Austrians and Germans claim to have made a further advance in uietr operations the aim of which is the encircling of Prze^.iysl, although they arc meeting with vc ry stubborn resistance on the Ollrf* nf I Pll.'riono In the West the French offensive north of Arms i? still in progress, but the advance by tho allied troops seemingly is not so fast as it was when the attack was first launched. The Dritish also arc engaged north of La Masse and are almost continuously occupied in resisting German attacks around Ypres, the attempt to capture which place is said to have cost the Teutons an enormous number of men.
