He has three locations in view one on Eleventh avenue alongside of the Reformed church and closing up Eleventh ave nue with the exception of the side walk; another between Mr. George Voder's house and Mr. J. W. Hoke's house on Thirteenth avenue. Either of these places would be very desi rable and centrally located, but ai. not as large as the dimensions of the big Chautauqua tent calls for, anu Mr. Hall hopes the tent crew will be. able to reduce the size of the tern so that it can be made to fit in one ot these places. Failing to use either oi these lots, the only place open will1 be ipack of the postoffice. There! were so many objections to Claremont on account of the distance that Mr. Hall concluded not to consider that location, although it is ideally located for that kind of entertainment. Every person is urged to act promptly in securing their tickets, as the management wants a complete return on season ticket sales by Thursday night. You will spend more than the price of a season ticket in single admissions before Chautauqua week is over, so give the guarantors the benefit of your season ticket.

"Don't use your wireless and we won't shoot," is the newest "made-in-Germany" war slogan under which the empei' or's submarine commanders are car rying their campaign of frightfulness into America's Atlantic waters, ac cording to the 20 survivors who were brought to this port today aboard a schooner. The Carolina was destroyed by U boat gunfire 50 miles off the Dela ware capes Sunday . afternoon. Stories told by passengers and crew of the sunken vessel indicated that Edwin Vogel of New York City, the ship's 19-year-old chief wireless operator, played a spectacular part in the raid on the vessel. Wfien the suibtmjaxinia message, "Don't use wireless we won't shoot, Vogel definitely repeated his S. O. S. signals which he had already begun flashing and was on the verge of ans wering queries from the Cape May and other stations for the Carolina's position, when Capt. D. R. Barber, Vogel's commander, ordered him to quit his key, and see whether the Germans would keep their piiedige, passengers declared. Captain Barber said he decided to accept the proposition laid down by the U-boat skipper, because he be lieved disobedience meant forfeiture of the lives of the passengers. .Arrival of the 250 survivors here today, 156 of whom were passeng ers and 94 members of the crew, ap parently leaves 29 persons to be ac counted for.
