The fate of her 220 pas,sen-, gers and crew of 130, who took to the boats when shells began to fall about the vessel was un- j known late tonight. No lives wore lost in the sinking of the 1 other ships. Besides the Carolina, the' known victims of the U-Boats. are the Atlantic Refining Co..' tanker Herbert L. Pratt, the i steamship Winnicconnie of! 1800 tons, and six schooners. the largest of which were the Hauppauge, a new ship of 1000 i tons and the Edward H. Cole.! The crews of these eight ves-! ;els have been landed at Allan-' tic ports. Reports brought ashore by .he survivors indicated that :he Winnieconnie and nearly all he schooners were sunk by the same U-Boat which had been urking olf the New Jersey' ;oast and the Delaware Capes since late last month. The j dories told by the skippers of he schooners indicated that. he commander of the submer-; able was unusually humane for; i German officer. In no in-. dance, so far as known was a ifeboat shelled and in all cases eportecl the crews were given jpportunity to escape or were ;aken aboard the submarine, vhere some of their, were kept prisoner for eight days before hey were turned adrift to be ncked up by a passing vessel. j PORT OF BOSTON CLOSED FOR TIME 3N MONDAY Boston, June C.—The port of Bos- on nas closed for an hour or more j >y naval authorities today after re eipt of first reports of submarines >ff he coast, but i\as re-openod later to ill shipping.

Pursued by tw P boats, the Bristol sped toward land, it tamed shallow water and escaped only jeeause the submarines dared not follow ter farther. It was the Bristol which rescued the rrew of the schooner Edward H. Cole j tfter the Cole's men hud been adrift in] :heir small boats for several hours.

Particularly hard fighting again has been in progress between Soissons and Ghatcau Thierry where the Germans are endeavoring to push further for ward toward Paris, but the Freni!n i troops almost everywhere have suc Jeessfully withstood the onslaught anJ 'on several sectors themselves have 'taken the initiative and gained ground. As a whole the situation I along this line is relatively unehang t d. l The German war office at last has ad mitted that the Allied line on the west: has been reinforced by fresh units, but it asserts that they have not been able to hold the positions to which tries were assigned. Nevertheless the fact is pa tent from an observation of the war maps that almost everywhere in this region the German line, "for the moment at least, is being held. I'-tom Chateau Thierry eastward along the Marne and thence to i: he inis, the situation virtually is unchanged irotn that of Sunday. The enemy now1 holds the northern bank of the Marine for a distance of about 15 miles, but as >«t lie lias made no serious endeavor t cross the stream. i

The news of what it has cost the Ger- 1 man armies in men killed, wounded or made prisoner in the present battle is reaching Germany through a no less authoritative source than tlie semi-offi cial Xorddeutsche AUgemefne y.eltung This journal prints a letter from a Ger man colonel at the front who urges the j people to bear their losses with pa- tlence and confidence. Little fighting aside from the usual j small affairs between raiding parties is! taking place on the Flanders front. The i British have carried out successful raids on several sectors here and taken near ly 300 prisoners. In the Italian theatre the operations continue of a minor character. American aviators are giving good ac-1 count of themselves over the battle line in France.

On Saturday evening a lawn party 1 j and band concert was given on the lawn j in front of the Quincy building, after which a reception was given to the alumni and teachers. After the ball game on Saturday aft- ernoon the new service flag bearing 2'j stars was dedicated af the Bancroft. Foote house, also the flag at Golden 1 Rule cottage, which bears IT stars, and I later each cottage will obtain one of these flags, as each cottage has been the home of some of the IIS boys now serving in the army or navy, who were formerly at Good Will. On Sunday afternoon F.ev. G. W Hinckley in Moody chape] delivered a most forceful and Interesting sermon to the graduating class from the text “Ye have been called" Every seat in the church was filled. One knowing Mr Hinckley always expects a good sermon rnd is never disappointed, hut this was probably one of the best he ever de livered The closing religious service 'or the school year was held in Moody chapel on Sunday evening, being conducted by i w. P. Hinckley, principal of the Good Will high school J Campbell Philips of Xew York City, an artist of distinction. Is. with Amos i jl. Prescott, the guest of Rev. Q. W.1 Hinckley during commencement week, and will later with llr. Prescott donate to Good Will a painting of Mr. Hinckley. Mr. Phillips has already presented two gems of art, a sketch made in Vermont, the other near Poland Springs, and these will be valuable acquisitions to the Good Will art gallery.

Roger Kendall Young Roger Kendall Young of Southboro, Mass., only son of Harry W. and Helen True Young, passed away at the Commonwealth avenue hospital, Boston, on May 17, after a long and trying sickness of three months. His sickness began with German measles contracted at Moses Brown school. Providence, R. k. where ne was a student. Then followed scarlet fever and pneumonia. >n the day set for his going to Brookline, Mass., for a brief visit to his relatives he be came sick with measles. He, however, went to Brookline and later made a two-days visit to his home. In South boro he grew rapidly worse and on the advice of his physicians was taken to the hospital in Boston, where he passed away. All that medical skill and a father's lave and devotion could do or think were done to relieve suffering and restore health. Many were the pray ers offered that he might be spared to Ins father and a life of usefulness but it pleased God who loved him best t» take him Home. Throughout his sickness he was not known to murmur. Though his life was short, yet in his brief 16 years 1 e exhibited a bravery and courage which many an older person would be proud to manifest. His funeral services were at Sou'li boro on May 20. conducted by Rev. R. G. Woodbridge, a friend of Roger's father. His Sunday school t lassmates and teacher acted as escort to the grave. The profusion of floral tributes bare silent testimony to the love and es teem of friends, relatives, school, church, and Sunday school. The love and sympathy of all Southboro and of the relatives and friends far and near go out to Mr. Young and the aged uncle in their berea cement. A friendly boy- true and loyal, lovable and appreciative- -thoughtful for others, especially for his father since his mother's going; one who worked cheerfully and rendered good service gladly a short life, but well lived and worth while. "We live in deeds, not years, in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S OASTORIAl Cut the Cost of Mileage When you see a car puffing and panting up steep hills and over rough roads when it really ought to move along as easily and as steadily as a brook glides in its course— blame it on inferior gasoline. The use of poor gasoline, whether for limousine, touring car, roadster or motor truck, is always extravagant waste. In these days there is no excuse for such waste. Buy high mileage and full power. Buy So-CO-NY Motor Gasoline. SO-CO-NY is the surest economy. It means more miles per gallon. It is clean—powerful—quick-starting —reliable. Look for the Red, White and Blue SO-CO-NY Sign.

AMUSEMENTS THE STRAND George Hernandez and Fritzi Ridge way in Triangle Latest Production “Up or Down.’’ Gaumont News and Triangle Comedy at the Strand for the Last Time Today, Edith Story in Five-Part Metro Wonder Play Tomorrow Allan Corey’s book had been re jected. he had been refused by Esther Hollister, owner of the Rancho Verde, with whom he was deeply’ in love, and be was out of cash. He had no one to whom he could turn for sympathy but his strange partner, “Dallas Mike,” ex-convict and cow-puncher on the Rancho Verde. His reverses had all followed on the heels of a hold-up in w’hich he and Esther had been relieved of the ranch's payroll. Allan had accom panied Esther on the eventful trip to the bank in the hope that something just like this would turn up and give him the needed “punch” for the end ing of his western novel. Well, it happened, and Corey had conducted himself in a cowardly man ner. He had made his hero run true to form in the novel, but the pub lishers had rejected it with the sug gestion that it be revised and more Western color injected. How Allan reinstates himself in the eyes of Rancho Verde, sells his book, and wins Esther, are the stirring epi sodes of Triangle's newest and most unusual Western drama, “Up or Down?” George Hernandez is seen in the stellar role to be shown at the Strand theatre today.—Adv. It has been the practice of some of the automobile owners of the city when they are to climb Church hill, to begin an acceleration of their speed near the watering trough in Depot square, crossing Water street at a rather dangerous late of speed.

The vessel which brought tn the sur Ivors was an American steamship which picked them up at I) o clock this morning 25 miles from Bamegat, X. J.

VVe left New Yqrk for Charleston in ballast on May 23 and when two days later we were about IS miles south of Winter Quarter lightship bowling along under an eight-knot breeze. I heard a shell pass near the vessel Then came another shell which fell perhaps a quar ter of a mile away. "1 was not taking much notice, be cause 1 believed the vessel, which T saw two miles away, was an American submarine at target practice. A third shell exploded dole by us on the weath er quarters and I knew that whoever it whs wanted u* to stop "I brought the vessel up Into the wind. The submarine, with her superstructure and conning tower showing plainlv above the water, came within 230 yards and I saw that she was flying two code letters AB.’ meaning ‘stop immediately.’ From a small staff at the rear end f the superstructure fluttered a smd’.l Sag f the Imperml Germany nnvv. An officer and three men came ovel in a small boat, not over 12 feet long. In perfect English the officer told us to get into our boats and that we bad but in minutes allotted us to get cleat of our vessel "They placed bomba along the sides of our vessel and blew her up imme diately In the meantime putting an armed German sailor on board the small boat, in which were seven men and myself.

Bryan is president of the National Dry federation which is just getting into the swing of its country-wide campaign for federal prohibition as an urgent military ne cessity. as well as the greatest and best available means of averting food and fuel famine. The federation, which has recently opened head quarters in Chicago, embraces more than JO state and national organiza tions, representing 18,000,000 men and women. Among the organizations in the federation are the Federated Council of Churches, United Society of Christian Endeavor, General Bap tist Convention of North America, Methodist Episcopal church, Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian church, Re formed church, Universalist church, Secenth Day Adventists, National Prohibition committee Catholic Priests' Prohibition league, Woman's Prohibition league, National Trades 1 nlon Dry league and the Woman's Christian Temperance Unions of In diana. Pennsylvania an i Kentucky. The campaign will center on mem bers of engross to whom will be sent, it is said, at least 250,000 tele grams demanding immediate inhibi tion of tlie liquor traffic. Organiza tions identified with the federation already are active in nearly all of the 2 033 counties in the United States, according to tv. (1. Calderwood, cam paign manager. "The complexion of congress is •dry,' he declares. "The national campaign undertaken by this federa tion of civic, religious, industrial and patriotic bodies will prove to con gress that a majority of the people, recognizing the vital need of saving men. money, food and labor, see in the suspension of the liquor business a direct means to win the war." Had there been federal prohibition in the United States last year the sa\ ing effected would have averted the fuel I ami no, cojseneu enough to ration almost twice the army of the United Slates and lib erated almost 600,000 tons of ship ping. More than 3,000,000,000 pounds of food in the form of grain and mil lions of tons of fuel were wasted last year in this country in the manufac ture of !b|Uor. If the men, hundreds of thousands, employed by the IP,nor interests hail made munitions and if the thousands ot transporta tion units utilized in t'aj distribution of llipior had borne military supplies, ihe war might have been won by the allies months ago. More than 52,060,000 bushels of grain grown in the United States u ere shipped to European brewers and distillers last year. In the saloons of this country in 1917 tjtore than $2,000,1)00,000 were spent, and more than two billions additional in money were lost because of inefficiency due to drink. "Down East” Down East, as they call Massa i husetts, Maine and some other of the New England states," says the Florida Times-Union at the begin ning of one of its illuminating edi torials. This again revives the old UuestIon. in New England if not in Florida, as to just where "Down East" begins and where it ends. In Massachusetts the term is applied generally to the region cast of New Hampshire's western boundary and New Hampshire passes the buck to Maine. Here in western Maine we think of Down East as a loosely-de tined region including about every thing east and north of Augusta, while Hangor people apply the term to take in Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick and 1‘rinre Edward Island. And it is assumed that tlie people of the Maritime provinces also have their Down East, which may take in Lab rador and Newfoundland.—Biddeford Journal. Well, with Augusta and points in Maine east of the Capital City hav ing supplied considerably more than its quota of the real men of Maine, New England and the country, we fec i pretty well satisfied to be in i bided in "Down East" territory. rot. Roosevelt. commenting on the shelving of minutes. i S What are some of the effects of to bacco using? Tobacco lessens the sense of taste, often causes a poor appetite and has an unwhobsome effect on the organs of digestion. Catarrh, hoarseness, and throat trouble are ecriimon among those using tobacco. 3. Doesn't the burning of the tobacco destroy the poison? It does not The nicotine is drawn i into the mouth with the smoke and is then absorbed in the blood. This makes the cells act slowly and prevents proper growth. 10. Why are cigarettes more danger ous than cigars or pipe tobacco? Those using pipes and cigars seldom inhale the smoke into the lungs, while over 0-10 of the cigarette users do. The carbon monoxide passes readily to the blood and poisons tlie nerves. II. What are some of the effects of cigarette smoking? Cigarette smoking irritates the deli cate lining of the throat, lungs and mouth. At tlie same time it narcotizes the nerves that control the hreathiug and the smoker suffers from lack of air. It weakens the nerves that control the heart and make it beat irregularly, and while working much harder than before it accomplishes less, and the blood be comes purple instead of bright red. This i loss of oxygen makes the smoker feel nervous and blue. 12. now does cigarette smoking affect i the digestion? As a boy smokes the stomach becomes overstimulated and overworked. It se cretes digestive juices that are not needed and cannot be used, therefore it grows weak and fails to produce enough when needed and the hoy digesting i badly begins to he pale and half-starved. 13.—Does cigarette smoking affect the desire for exercise? A cigarette smoker does not wish to j exert himself, and as he gets too little air lias a weak heart, and does not ex ereise. he begins to stop growing as he I SUOUlfl. 14. Does cigarette smoking affect moral character'.’ Nearly all business houses refuse to j employ cigarette smokers because they j cannot be trusted. The users of cigar ettes are careless, dull, and irresponsi ble. if not dishonest. 15. Why is the chewing of tobacco harmful? While a person is chewing tobacco the salivary glands arc kept In a continual strain of activity, so that much saliva is lost in spitting. The result is that the saliva (hat enters the mouth when the food enters the mouth is of a poor j quality. The nicotine absorbed by the vessels in the membrane of the mouth j has an injurious effect upon the heart. lu. How does the use of tobacco effect the muscles? Nicotine causes the involuntary mus j cles of the small blood vessels to con tract, and thus some of the nourishment j intended for growth of the muscles is shut of. Tobacco users have hands that tremble because they cannot con trol their muscles. 17. How does tobacco affect the 1 nervous system. Tobacco has a more serious effect up i on the nervous system than on any other part of the body. It prevents the I brain cells from developing to their full I extent and the consequence is a slow I and dull mind. IS. What do records made by college students show with reference to the use of tobacco"? A careful study of the records made j by college students shows that those who use tobacco are mentally inferior 1 to those who do not have the' habit. 19. How is giowth affected by the use of tobacco.’ The organs removing the poisonous waste from the growing bones are made unlit to perform their duties bv the use of tobacco. Dr. Alvin Davison says, ■•In man> young persons using much tobacco the bones grow about one fourth slower than in healthv bovs and girls. 90. What Is snuff and its effects? ^"4" ,ob4ou are the same.

My Dear Mother: Just a few linos to let you know 1 that 1 received the latest box you sent tonight and please thank all my good friends for me once again. 1 have almost enough tobacco on hand now to open a small store but that doesn't make the boxes that are sent any the less welcome. 1 am awful sorry to learn that Charles is sick but suppose that he is better if not entirely well by this time. I hope so any way, tell him for me to keep on grinning find he will sure win out. 1 heard about the shooting match on Middle street from Earle, and I have been thinking since that I am safer here than 1 would be if I were there, anyhow over he;e one gets a run for his money. I suppose you have oone a lot of worrying about me since you heard I was at the front, but don’t you worry about me any more, for it isn't half as bad as it sounds, and I am not there now anyway and there is noth ing for you to worry about. 1 am glad Pop is getting along so well with his house but 1 guess he will have to relay those hardwood floors when I get homo and walk over them with my big hobnailed shoes, or perhaps drop my steel helmet on the floor. j I see Eddie Dill almost every day and he is well and looks it. Guess he doesn't get as much mail from home as he would like. It docs a fellow a lot of good to get ma'i from home. The weather here the last few days hasn't been just what I would like, rather cold and rainy, but I have a !good place to sleep and plenty to eat and am not working very hard so I have nothing to kick about. When I you write let me know if you have received any money from the Gov ernment yet. I don’t expect you have i yet, for it was only last week that we signed the payroll for the months of February and March and I think the payroll has to go to Washington before you get it, I am not sure.

A MEAN ADVANTAGE By Ellis Barker Butler, Membjer American Defense Society. (Copyright 1918, American Defense Society) An evening or two ago I was walking through the great Pennsyl vania railway station at New York when it was crowded with men, women and children. It is a mag initicent building. It covers two en tire city blocks. 1 looked up at the 'great roof that sheltered the vast structure, and it came into my mind that, seen from high in the air, the spread of the roof must be enormous. It would be a remarkable target for bombs dropped from high above it. it suddenly occurred .o me that the United States is taking a meait ad vantage of Germany. We have 1 plunged into war against Germany and are sending fighting men and fighting ships to fight her fighting men and fighting ships, but we are taking a mean advantage of the three thousand miles of ocean that Stretch between us. We are so far away that Germany cannot use against us her splendid system of raui dering women and children. Are we. 1 ask unite fair to Ger many'? She is so far from our shoes that she cannot send Zeppelins sneaking through the night to drop death on our babies sleeping in their cribs. Are we not taking an unfair advantage of her? When Germany goes to war she expects to fight with neighbors close at hand, so she can bombard the homes of non-com batants and maim and murder help less old men and gentle women and sleping children. Is it fair to go to war with her when she will only have the chance to fight our fighting men? Why! it is possible that Germany, in fighting us. may have to fight fair and as civilized 'natioi'-- fight (ex cept for poison gas. murder of sailors on the high seas and other dirty bar barisms). That is not giving Ger many the chance she feels she ought to have. It is not giving her an op portunity to murder our wives and fathers and daughters. I think something ought to be done about this. Germany is liable to dis like us if we let this thing go on. What will she think of Us if we do not arrange things so she can kill our babies in the night, as she is killing the English and French babies in their cribs? Shall we send, say, eight thousand 'old men, ten thousand women and seven thousand babies to Europe and I place them in some convenient place so that Germany can bomb them to death, and thus give Germany a I chance to war against us as she is warring against other nations? Or j shall we say that, come what will and happen what may, this nation will not make peace with the dastardly Hun until he is thrashed and crushed and taught once for all that the murder of just one helpless baby of Paris or l.ondon has been sufficient to sen tence the Hohenzollern beasts to 'everlasting extermination? Good friend, how do you stand? Will you be one of those who are willing to send their babies to Eon don to die by the hand of the Hun? Or will you stand with all Christian humanity, steadfast and firm, until the Great Criminal is :'iven his just deserts? What name shall we give the Baby Killer of Berlin? Wha, name shall jwe give ourselves if we allow him to triumph after such acts-as these? Bankruptcy Proceedings Judge Hale of the C.
