A Crenmin submarine was sunk in a running battle with a Ili'itiali tank steamer last Friday about 3(10 miles northwest of Nantucket, according to members of the tanker's crew. The oil ship arrived here tonight from Mexico. When first sighted the U-boat was two miles away, according to the captain of the tanker, who said he immediately opened fire. Two shots from the submarine struck the Hrit ish ship, one of them passing thru the boiler room and the other thru a tank. Neither of the shells ex ploded and did no material damage, the captain reported. Twenty-seven shots were fired by the tank ship, one or more of which her master declared scored clean hits, as flames were seen bursting from the port side of the submarine which he said sank a few minutes later. Frank Hopkins, deputy sheriff was down from Canyonville on bus! ness today. H DON ARE CALLED I'XYO LOCAL MUX AUK H'l'ICl A L LV NOTIMKII TO KKI'OItT I'OU MILITAItV IllTV lK.

Bailey, examiner in charge of the U. S. Government Employ ment Service at Hoseburg, .announces that on Friday and Saturday of this week his office will be open even ings from 7 to 9 o'clock for the pur pose of recruiting mechanics and laborers for the shipyards of Port land and Astoria. This will be the occasion of the visit of T. J. Conway, examiner for the Portland U. S. Government Em ployment Service, and It. H. Howard, special representative of the Astoria Marine Iron Works at Astoria, Ore. These men are visiting all of the larger Western Oregon towns, in cluding Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Hoseburg, Eugene, Albany nnd Salem. It is -not the purpose of the Gov ernment in this new labor drive to take men from essential industries. However, there is urgent need of men at this time In certain depart ments of ship building. The greatest need is for laborers in Portland yards and mechanics for the instal lation of machinery in the Govern ment wooden ships launched in the Lower Columbia Kivtr district, cen tering about Astoria. The installa tion of machinery is vital, for the reoson that some ninety wood hulls are now tied up in the Columbia IMver awaiting final equipment. In fact, only one from the scores of wooden ships launched in the Col umbia Kiver has yet (started on a trial trip at cca. The timo has come when the Gov ernment Is making special effort to ward the speedy final equipment of all these wooden ships, and the greatest need is for mechanics and laborers. The Government will ad vance transportation direct to the ship yards. POSTMASTERS OF 4TH CLASS GET INCREASE IN THEIR SALARIES An official postal bulletin just re ceived hy Postmaster lieizenstetn, of this city, announces u substantial in crease in the compensation ot post masters of the fourth class alt over the country. This consists of allow ing such postmasters Hill per cent of the llrsl $K0 of their gross receipts, instead of the same per cent on the first $50 only. As at present, fourth class post masters will continue to receive as compensation tiO per cent of the next $100 or less of their receipts, 60 per cent of the next $200 or less, and 40 per cent of the balance. When the total compensation does not exceed $a0, the postmaster shall receive 20 per cent additional. No fourth class postmaster shall receive eompensat ton in excess of $2."0 in any one of the first three iiuariers of j any IH.'al ar. exclusive ot money order commissions, and in the last uuarter he will receive the full amount due from the foregoing method of computation up to a sum that will not bring hi-t total salary tor the entire tisral year above $1.- 000. The new law further provides that no fourth class post off ice shall he advanced to the third class by renson of the "temporary" salary increase. The new salary schedule is effec tive now, and all fourth class post masters will receive the benefit of it for the first time in rendering their postal accounts for the quarter ending September lit), of Ih is year, noughts County has 60 po-'toffices of the fourth class, in addition to seven of the third class and one of the second, the last being ItoKchlltg, the central HM-ounting head of the county.

As a result we have today in stock or on order 1,400,000 pounds of yarn for distribution to our chap ters. It is hoped that we may bbtain some additional yarn from wools unsuitablu for Government uses. The expected total will, however, be con siderably below the ten million pounds used last year. While the total of yarn we can secure is being determined, we are studying how to use our supply to produce only gar ments which are most essential. Wheii a conclusion Is reached we will announce our full program ot knit ting: "In addition to this stock of yarn, the lied Cross lias ready for distri bution 1 .UOO.ono sweaters, 1 :M.O0O mufflers, :iX4,uu0 wristlets, 228.000 helmets and l,:t2K,(iO0 pairs of socks, a total of 3.fi74,0(M) articles.
