LONDON, Feb. 37 (United Press).— German stratery has devised a new use for alroreft. To ald the submar- ines in their attacks upon British merchantmen and watorcraft the Ger- mans have ordered Taubes and hydro- aeroplanes to patrol Mnglish const waters and hunt out enemy vessels. This fact was learned to-day wheo twe German aviators were found clinging to the wreckage of a hydro- aeroplane off Lowestoft, a Suffolk County seaport, 110 miles northeast of London. The airmen were half dead from exposure. When they re- gained consciousness they declared they had been sent from the Beigian coast, with inatructions to watch for British ships in the North Bea and signal their presence to a squadron of submarine: Other ‘tors, it is known, are performing a similar service in the English Channel. Their work has been so effective that submarines have been kept in close touch with the movement of the vessels in Chan. nel ‘ters. Oni; ful results. Naval experts had insisted that the submarines ran but slight chances of making successful attacks because they must lie in wait and hope for the appearance of an enemy ship within their sone of operation, upon pase stale ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES TO BE ARMY CHAUFFEURS, SAYS BERLIN REPORT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 317.—The first report of Commander Gherardi, naval attache at Berlin, on the sinking of the American ootton steamer Evelyn by a mine in the North feu, received here to-day, indicates that the ship was not off her course, os was sug- @eated, and was in fact in waters where she should have been safe. The Evelyn apparently was only a “| short distance to the northweat of the mouth of the river when hit. The Evelyn probably struck a mine which had broken loose from its moorings somewhere along the Ge man Coast immediately to the noi and which was floating towards the coast of Holland, where, according to reports, numerous mines have been found in the shores, Although Minister Van Dyke had cabled the Evelyn's crew as “unofi- cially reported safe,” he sent the mee Reperonens ® rumor to-day that eight men are mi ,.

M, on Feb. 17, the e' German Caroline , Bauman “Knocks His Block Off” in Four-Round Go. Lovely woman has flinched. The fMinching took piace at precisely ‘o'clock yesterday afternoon at Bill Brown's gymnasium in West Twenty- third Street. The occasion was the ; full Grease rehearsal of the sport ‘carnival which is to be given for the benefit of the unemployed at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory next Thureday evening with the Rev, | Herbert Shipman as Master of Cere- monies. The lovely women who flinched are two in number. Their names are— but no; wild horses could not drag them from us. Suffice it to say that they are lovely girls of excellent ao- cial position who are going to box at that benefit. Pause and count ten! Going to what? Going to box! Yes, box. B-o-x, bor! That's plain enough, isn't it? But they are going to wear silken masks, one pink, the other black. And they were going to rehearse at Bill Brown's 80 as to get used to sparring inside of a regular Marquis of Queensberry ring, because hitherto they have done their “workouts” (ring term) only on the floor of their club gymnasium. And they really meant to do it, too; but when they got to the ringside and saw a battery of cameras ali in a row and a grin- ning man standing by with a hair- trigger tray full of flashlight powder, and pictured how readily all their Newport and Palm Beach friends ‘would recognise them—what con- ceaiment is there in masks, anyway? —they just gasped little gasps and told their maids to fetch away their auitcases of boxing togs, gloves, &c., and flew down to the sidewalk and ypped into their limousine and said, lome, James!"—just like that. It was a frightful come down in these brave days of Suffragism, feminism and all the other advanced lems, to see two lovely and gallant ladie@ quit like that. It was a dis tinct shook. Would they, one won- ders, run away from the polls om Election Day if they found the camera men there? But, although two filuched, there ‘was one dauntiess spirit whom all the lenses and flashlights couldn’t scare away. It was the spirit of Miss Caro- Mne Bauman, a laughing, brown-eyed laze of seventeen, who was arrayed in @ jaunty waiet and baggy, black taffeta knicks and svelte silk stock- ings (black too), and a pair of five- ounce gloves. She went on with her instructor, Prof. Eddy Toy. ‘The pen of the veteran ring-goer would fain stop right here and tell no more of the disgrace of good man; but fac's is fac’s, as the fellow says, and the truth must be told. Eddy was @ coast champ in bis day, and en now, though the thatch is a bit at the peak, he can bustle any lightweight in the business, And yet he was slugged and faded to a fare- ye-well by that merry, rose-cheeked, brown-eyed lass. What she banded bim was a plenty—jabs, jolts, hooks, swings, crosses, parries and a few plain thumps for good measure. He fought hard, for the good name of his sex no less than to keep the top of his block from being knocked off (ring term again, ladies), but at the end of the fourth round Referee Jack Adler raised his right hand in token of victory. Cheers? Hand clappings? Rather. Also patterings of dainty gloved palms, for there were a dosen ladies among the spectators who also ut- tered cries of “How perfectly lovely!” as they saw their sister maintain the superiority of woman. She wasn't puffed up over it, though. ‘Took her victory like a good man. There were other doings. Mr. Batt- ling Levinsky whanged Mr. Geo: Rodel, the Bouncing Boer, Mr. You!

The contractora engaged in bulld- ing the new subway lines in Manhat- tan, Brooklyn and the Bronx dis- ‘ged all their alien laborers to- day in compliance with the Court of Appeals ruling upholding the Alien Labor Law. In place of Italians, Hungarians and Polacks who have not declared thelr intention of becoming citizens the contractors employed, in all see- tions of the subway about two thou- sand men holding citizenship papers who are willing to do excavation work, Tho Terry & Tench Company is the only firm engaged in subway con- struction what did not discharge men. Ther are no aliens on its pay- roll. The Subway Construction Com- pany, which holds big contracts, made no effort to employ men to take the places of the aliens, but other con- cerns took all the ablebodied men who applied. Thousands of aliens, swarming to the various subway cuts at midnight or A. M. to-day were met by en- sineers and foremen who told thom they could not work unless they had citizenship papers. There was some disorder among 600 Ttallans who were not allowed to enter the subway excavation at Thirty- eighth street and Broadway. Chief Engineer Jones made a speech to the men, which was interpreted by a fore- man, explaining the law, He produced a blank certificate uf first citizenship and told the men that such of them as had supplied them- selves with such a paper by Monday morning would be put to work. The decision to halt all subway work depending on “muckers,” as the unskilled laborers are called, was |were reached at a meeting of subway con- tractors held last night at the Hotel Manhattan. While the decision of the Court of Appeals has not yet gone into effect, the contractors and Edward M. Grout, their counsel, decided that there was no use in delaying com- pliance with the law. It ia hoped by the contractors that stoppage of sub- way work will arouse public protest against the Alien Labor Law. The Rapid Transit Subway Con- struction Company, which dropped 800 men on the morning shift in the excavation in Seventh Avenue, be- tween Thirty-third and Forty-second Streets, made an effort to recruit a working force of citizens, Out of 120 native-born or natural- ised citizens who applied for work at Thirty-ninth Street and Seventh Avenue only tw were taken on, and the foreman predicted that more than half of these would throw up the job before the end of the day, The Degnon Company dropped a email army of men on the various wectiogs under ite control. About 8 per cent of the entire working force of this concern is made up of the aliens. In secret conference to-day some of the subway contractors decided to steal a march on the labor unions re- sponsible for the Alien Labor Law by arranging for the importation of an works,” said one ‘All right, we'll obey the law—to let- ter.

AURORA, Ill, Feb. 27.—Police to- day believe they were several steps nearer the solution of Aurora's third mysterious gin’ murder within @ year. Through the woollen mitten found near the scane of the crime they hoped to trace the person who clubbed pretty Emma Poterson to death late Thursday night. They were confident that this mitten was on the hand crushed in the forehead of the girl, The mitten is peculiarly. made and the police hope to trace its. own- erahip, s .One other clue, unearthed early to- day, gave the police hope that the murderer soon will be found. it is a man’s bloody shirt found tn a ¢heap lodging house near the river. The man who occupied the room where it was found was unknown to the clerk and checked out, it is understood, the morning after the crime. Announcement of the $1,000 reward voted by thd City Council for the murderer's arrest was mate to-day.
