It was known ago that three large British submarines were lying at the Russian port of Helsinfors, and it is also known that a fourth British submarine of the same type maintained communications between the coast of Finland and the Russian naval station in the Baltic.

One version 1s |munieations from well [8 ir on | cruiser was by rines Russia possesses no far some time “These submarines cannot have entered the Baltic by way of the Sound, because the water there is too shallow and the en- trance too narrow, and the traffic in ships too great. They entered by way of the Great Belt, al- though this is thickly strewn with mines. They accomplished this by the simple trick of follow- ing closely in the wake of steam- ships which were carrying a pilot to guide them through the mine fields. At any moment the sub- marines might have collided with mines, while at times they were foreed to conceal themselves by descending to the bottom and resting on the sea-bed. This con- tinued for several hours on one or Finally, they in reaching the two oceasions. were successful Baltic.” The other version runs: ‘These British submarines did not enter by the Sound or Great Belt. They shipped in from England to Archangel, thence overland to Kronstadt, where they were put together and despatched on war service into the Baltic.” were sections —_——— WILL CONTRIBUTE FUNDS FOR SENDOFF A committee consisting of Rev. H. R. Grant, Father Bunoz and G. |W. Morrow appeared before the Council last night, asking that a donation be given toward a fare- well for the boys who are leaving for active service on Friday. The sum asked for was $800 and af- |ter the committee was all heard ifrom a motion was passed by the Council referring it to the finance committee with power to act, the acting-mayor intimating that the committee would favorably con- sider it Mr. Morrow suggested that a traveling kitchen outfit be secur- ‘ed, costing about $600, whieh he thought would make the most suitable gift. The other members lof the committee favored this, as it be used even in the trenches when otherwise warm meala were impossible, The committee had been ap- pointed at a meeting held in the city hall in the afternoon and who also will have charge of the ar- could rangements.

London, Feb. 23.—The Norwe- gian steamer Regin was sunk off Dover by a mine or submarine. She was carrying coal and tin to Bordeaux. Her crew of thirty- two were saved, COAL CONTRACT CREATES TROUBLE In the applicatfons recently re- ceived for 100 tons of nut coal for the city electric plant the New Wellington Coal Company had the lowest bid. The lowest bid was ordered accepted by the commit- tee providing it proved satisfac- tory. After a test was made, how- ever, it appears that the contract was awarded to the next bid. Last night Mr. Rogers wrote the council on behalf of the company. claiming that his coal was not given a fair test and that he was willing to put up $500 against any coal in town providing the gov- ernment test was made, He fur- ther stated that it was because of some former trouble with the electric department that the coal was turned down. The acting-mayor, who is the chairman of the electric commit- tee, said that the testing record of all local coal was had the power house log sheet and that according to the test the coal in question did not measure up. Alderman Maitland moved that a committee be appointed to in. vestigate the matter. There was some time before a seconder was found but finally Alderman Edge seconded it. The acting-mayor asked the mover to select his committee. His first appointment was Alderman MeClymont, but that alderma) said that he knew little about testing coal and would be guided by the city engineers in charge. Alderman Maitland finally ap- pointed himself, with Aldermen Nicol and Edge. The report of the eleetric su- perintendent was to the effect that the test was made by the en- gineers in charge, and that al- though he was not directly re- sponsible, he believed the test was perfectly accurate, Alderman Maitland seemed to be the only member of the Coun- cil who did not wish to aceept the superintendent's report, on oe eee eee Something that will interest you.
