Steps to protect the fishing fleets off the coast of New England from German sub marine raiders have been taken by the navy. Secretary Daniels an nounced today that where, the ves sels operate in fleets, as is the gen eral custom, naval patrol boats here after will accompany them to their banks and there maintain guard. Protection of the fishing fleets was decided upon as a food conservation measure, as mucn of the nation's fish supply comes from New England. Decision to have naval patrol boats accompany the little craft whenever possible resulted from the sinking of a dozen or more smacks by a subma rine which appeared suddenly on George's bank, off. the Massachusetts coast, last Sunday. The schooner Sybil, recently report ed gunk by a German submarine, has arrived safely at Gloucester, Mass., 'the Navy department today was in formed.

Whltson, Rosemary, K. C Treasury to Float v Certificates for Use In Payment of Taxes Washington, Aug. 16. To permit business interests to provide in ad vance for' income and profits tax due next year under the revenue bill, now being framed, Secretary McAdoo to night added that an indefinite amount of certificates of indebtedness bearing 4 per cent and acceptable for taxes in 1919, will be issued immediately. These certificates similar in terms to those floated in anticipation of tax collections earlier this year, are to take the place of the usual .bi-weekly issue, of .loan certificates, announce ment'of which was due today." In effect the offering of tax cer tificates .at this time affords a means of advance installment payments on next year's taxes. Although the pre cise nature of these taxes will not be determined until the new revenue bill is enacted, many corporations already have begun to set aside tax funds, and these business interests are expected to invest heavily in the tax. certificates.

Goggins was a graduate of George town university and was a foot ball star while in collejte. ' ' 1H of last week when the battle opened, great difficulty was met in advancing on our extreme left Finally it was decided the only way to advance was to turn the left flank. A famous Que bec battalion was entrusted with the task. They had to take up their po sition in the dark by the aid only of the stars, maps and compasses. Only military men can comprehend the difficulty of the undertaking. At the appointed hour 4:30 in the morn ing they were on the ground, whence they advanced and took the position, forcing the entire enemy line in this sector to fall back, with trifling loss to us. One officer had a bet with another that ..he1-would be in the boche di visional headquarters at Quesnil first on Thursday night. It was a wild race and was not" settled till Friday morning, when the winner actually took possession of the quarters while his troops wereyStill lighting at the far end of the town. He captured the entire enemy divisional plant. Shortly after the loser came along humbler billets. ThTs was nine milesi from the starting point of Thursday morning. The advance of a Manitoba bat talion was the record of the battle, being over 20,000 yards from our front line. When marching down a road this battalion was attacked by 18 German airplanes, flying low and sweeping the road with machine gun firp Thff rrrlr wh c crtvpn f nr trip I men to scatter- and not one was hit.
