Striking contrast in building ships at Bridgeport
Bridgeport, Conn May 16 Two boats show a stark contrast as the Morning Star a half century whaler and the L 5 the new submarine stand side by side. The Morning Star with 31 crew sailed from New Bedford for three or four year voyages while the L 5 ships in gray paint represents modern seamanship. Built in Dartmouth Mass the Morning Star shows old ship life with cabin boy memories and rugged fittings as it prepares for a new role while the L 5 embodies the future of naval craft and war effort.

Reorganization Plan for Border Patrol Outlined
Major General Funston and his staff have worked out many details of the border patrol reorganization plan. General Pershing reports show troops drawn closer together with no sign of an early pursuit of Francisco Villa. Colonel Sibley in the Big Bend region leads a cavalry force about 60 miles south of Boquillas amid doubt over capturing bandits or rescuing Jess K. Deemer. Safeguarding the Southern Pacific railway from here to El Paso has been decided, with troops to guard every bridge along the line.
