coast line where the German
Central Railroad, extending
through Kilmatinde, Dodoma,
Klkombo and Vandeventer has
been reached, the enemy hav-
ing been--dislodged from that
particular area.
In the region of Mpwapwa,
160 miles west of the coast, a
British detachment engaged an
enemy force which surrender
ed after a vigorous resistance
in a blockhouse.
Genera] Northey, operating

man colony defeated the Ger-
mans in an engagement near
MalangaH, the Germans losing
160 in killed and wounded, be-
sides prisoners. Northey’s col-

the error at once. He stared
at the shining piece a moment,
and was staring at his customer
when another newsboy laid a
detaining hand on his arm.
“Say, wait a minute. ' Wait

But Mercen disregarded the

The man merely said, “Oh”

Mercen dropped the four pen-

There was no word or display
of gratitude.
“It doesn’t pay to be a boob,

Washingon, Aug. 7.—Carry-

army appropriation hill was to-
day reported to both branches
of Congress by the House-Sen-

The largest previous army

Several fights loom up as

SIGHTED OFF MAINE
Boston, Maas., Aug. 7.—“An
unidentified submarine, appar-
ently of large dimensions, was
sighted by a coast guard near
Machias Port, Maine, early
today.’’
This brief message, uncon-
flrmable, was followed by the
word “that the submarine was
seen to rise to the surface for
few minutes and then sub-
merge, traveling in a westerly
direction.”
Further than this, no word
has been heard.
At the Charleston Navy Yard
it was said no United States
submarines are known to be
in the vicinity, but added “are
liable to be anywhere.”
The Portsmouth Navy Yard
also reported there were no
United States submarine known
to be in Maine waters.
A high official at the Fore
River shipyards declared none
of their submarines are out of
the yards. He added that he
could state on good authority
that there are no British sub-
marines known to be in Cana-
dian waters that might stay
down the Maine coast.

sighted off Machias port early
today by Life Saver Dunn of

gest worm.
In other and plainer words,
the federal government allots
a certain amount of money to
each state for Improving its
roads. Then comes the ques-
tion of where and how that
money is to be spent.
We do not know just what
policy will be pursued in this
state, but we do know that it
will be clearly to our interest
to go out in force and hustle for
road improvement in our ter-
! ritory.

ing in a westerly direction.
