Locomobile Plant Keeps War Work At High Level
Locomobile Company president Andrew I. Riker says the plant is operating at about 90 percent war production, despite a War Industries Board order pushing plants to 300 percent by 1919. He notes the plant remains a government auto truck supplier, with a history in expeditionary service and U S Army operations. The exact impact of the order was not officially received, and commandeering supplies is unlikely under current conditions. Outlook includes unsettled weather for New England and New York regions with showers and warmer days ahead.

Captured by German Submarine Myth Surfaces in Baltimore
Reported sighting of a bottle near the Quarantine station at Baltimore sparks a tale of Captain Cowles who served as signalman on the Cyclops and has been missing since March 4. The note, allegedly penned with a blue crayon, claims capture by the German submarine and hints at possibly mislaid or staged evidence amid wartime rumor. The piece blends service loss with a wider WWI battlefront update describing Allied advances and German setbacks along the Somme and Oise corridors.
