ENEMY RAIDERS

Belief That Men From Submarines
Call in Some Coast
Cities. j
l -:~r" . ...
Washington. ? Information furbished
by officers of vessels attacked
by German submarines along the!
I
American coast has strengthened th? j
belief held by several experiencedj
officials here that the enemy raiders j
have had communication vvitn per- i
sons on .shore and may even have j
landed members of their crews in an |
effort to secure reliable information.
The navy department officials refused
tonight to indorse this belief
though admitting the possibility.
Positive claim that he met in a
New York saloon an officer from the
submarine that sank the steamer O.
B. Jennings, is made by the first officer
of that vessel, according to a
story reaching the department. The
recognition between the American
and German is said to have been instantaneous,
the latter making his
escape when the American appealed
to a brother officer accompanying
him for confirmation of his belief.
Other instances have been h? ard,
not so well substantiated of the discovery
of evidence that German submarines
have been in close touch
with the shore. One story along this
lino was that the captain of a coastwise
vessel, being ordered to the
submarine with his papers, was astounded
to see on the deck of the
German commander, copies of the
New York dailies of the same date.
Course Ouite Possible.
t v
Communications between the raiders
and the mainland is possible at
scores of places along the Atlantic
shore, naval officials believe, the irregularity
of the American coasts
at certain points making such possible.
Recently the precautions token by
authorities to prevent such communication
have been greatly augmented
both by shore patrol and othei
methods which can not be discus, od
It can be stated, however, that n<
official report has been made giv'.n*

H. H
any definite evidence of an enemy I
boat having landed. I
From authoritative sources it was
learned today that there is a reason
to believe three German submarines
have been operating on the American
coasts at three separate points.
Two of these have recently "ceased ^
operating either because their u
stores have become exhausted or as
a result of damage received in contact
with patrol fleets. It is known
ihe activities of one boat ceased immediately
after a destroyer reported
having discharged depth bombs near
Mil! spot where the u-boat submerged.
One Cable Cut.
One of the three submarines, it is 1
considered certain, was especially 11
equipped for duty as a cable cutter. 1
This is held to explain the sudden 1
parting recently of two Atlantic
cables. A naval repair ship, escorted
by fighting craft, since has picked
up and spliced both cables.
! Descriptions of the submarine opcrating
in American waters almost
without exception give their length
as 300 feet and their armament is
two guns either 5.7 or 5.9 inch calibre.
Naval experts deduct from other
information that the enemy craft
have a cruising radius of not less
than 17,000 miles.
The German admiralty now has in
i i 1 />/\ l 1 Qfl

submarines while the total number
destroyed by the allies has passed
the 200 mark, according to the most
reliable information here. If correct,
those figures would indicate new
German construction has barely hold
its own over the period of the four
years as at the beginning of the war
the Germans are known to have had
j about 1")0 submarines.
The toll in the last six months,
I however, has been many times that
attained in any previous period and
the constantly increasing allied antisubmarine
forces, according to naval
officials, will put the ratio contiually
( higher as time passes.

HONEY HAS BECOME
VALUABLE FQQa CROP

Honcv is nrorlucorl in t l-ti -s rnnntrv
in ordinary voars considerably in excess
of 250,000,000 iwoumdtf. Most oi
the commercial par? of this crop is
now handled in a large way as a
staple food product; In part this is
the result of commercial, beekeeping
and the production of honey as an
occupation.
In recent years bee diseases have
been driving out of business the untrained
and indifferent beekeepers
and opening the field to the expert
who is able to overcome these diseas
es and who is informed concerning
sources and times of honey flow and
the details of bee management, according
to a recent bulletin from the
Bureau of iop Estimates, Unite-/
States Department of Agriculture,
from which the following facts are
derived:.
Hbncy Prefacing Plants.
The white-clover belt is the most
important honey-producing region,
because it furnishes not only the
leading commercial honey but also
morn: man one-nan 01 tne honey crop
of the entire country. This belt extends
from Maine to Virginia and
westward to the semi arid plains.
From white clover alone is secured
about one-tenth of the Nation's crop
of honey. This kind is almost colorless,
has a heavy body, and a distinct
and delicious flavor.
Alfalfa honey is second in commcr
cial importance. Its region is mostly
west of the one hundredth meridian,
and it is colorless, except in the
Southwestern States, where it darkens
to amber, with a distinctive spicy
or minty flavor.

as follows: . 1
That farmers hold off the markot fj
