Seattle, Sept. 10. — Purchasing
Agent Dole, of the Alaska railroad,
sailing on the steamer Alaska last
night bound for Anchorage, said
the failure of the Puget Sound lum

of the government railroad. Six
million feet of lumber ordered by
the commission have cot been de
livered. i
"If these deliveries are not made
soon," he said, "construction will
be tied up." This jvould mean
throwing hundreds of men out of
employment just at the beginning of

Washington — (Mail)—American
naval farces are convoying mer
chant craft across the Atlantic, the
navy department announces, and ex
amination of the records show that
the los*s of convoyed ships by sub
marines has avergaed less than one
half of 1 per cent.
It was stated that American war
vessels are regularly; escorting
fleets of British, French or other
allied merchantmen across, the pro
tection being supplemented!! when
the danger zone is reached by the'
destroyers and otter light craft. '
American naval officials believe
that an effective system for check
ing the submraine menace is being
built up gradually but certainly.
Many devices and many methods
enter into the task. Among other
things depth, bombs are proving ef
fective. Official reports indicate
that American destroyers have ac
counf«d for several U.boats with
these weapons.
