GERMANS SWARM LIKE BEES.
Wounded Britisher Describes irresist-

Wounded Britisher Describes irresist-
ibIe Attacks In Advance on Paris.
A striking personal description Of
the work Of the British expeditionary
force. including the last heavy fighting
outside Paris. is "i'.. - Z. diver Of
the royal artillery who has been in
valided home.
THE awfullest work of all began
where we were posted to resist the
German rush on Paris. On one slope
leading to position where our guns
were posted the ground was slippery
with blood. which was like a river at
the foot. where there was an ever in
creasing pile Of dead. dying and
wounded.
THE fercest fighting took place
when the Germans tried to force
passage Of the river at various points.
AS they came up the fords they were
CALLED terribly by the rifle fire. and
we kept plugging them with shells as
fast as we could For awhile 1t didn't
seem to be Of any use. for us one man
fell another stepped forward to take
his place. They had evidently made
up their minds to get the pontoons into
position regardless of cost in lives.
THE first party got theirs into posi-
ton nicely. and then came rushing
across 1t like a swarm Of bees rushing
out Of their hive to see what was
wrong. A shell from a French battery
hidden on our left dropped right on
them. and the thing went topping into
the river with its human load. being
carried down stream under a heavy
rifle and shell fire.
1.-THE same thing went on the. whole
day. until we were sick Of the sight.
and the cries Of the drowning and dy.
ing men were always ringing in our
ears. That was the daily program as
saw it until got hit and was sent
home"

THE BELL AT LL0YD'S.
Tolls When a Ship IL Posted In the
Chamber Of Horrors.

One of the most interesting of bells
Is the one at Lloyd's. the great Lon
don marine insurance exchange. Its
ringing has more Significance than the
only when a vessel is reported lost or
when ship long overdue and consid
cred lost unexpectedly reaches port.
The bell now used at Lloyd's belong
ed to the Lutine. which was wrecked
near the Zuyder Zee in October. 1888,
while taking specie from English mer.
chants to Hamburg
There is room at Lloyd's known as
the chamber of horrors. and here are
posted the kilograms that report casu-
alties at sea. Unimportant accidents
are not entered In the loss book. but
the most serious are not only entered
there. but are cried aloud by an Of
fetal who stands in gorgeous uniform
beneath the sounding board.
When after weeks disappearance
1t is feared that a vessel has gone
down the owners make an application
to the committee ut Lloyd's to have
the ship posted. That is done by post
ing up notice in the chamber Of hor
rors which says that the authorities
would be glad Of information concern
ing the boat.
A week elapses. and then second
notice is put up. saying that the boat
has not since been heard Of When
you read that a ship has been post
ed" as missing you may know that
declaration is upon the notice board at
Lloyd's. On that day the insurance
money is payable. and all who were
upon her are legally considered dead.
When n ship is posted the old Lutine
bell is tolled once. In the very unusu-
al event of "A vessel arriving in port
after being posted the bell is struck
twice, and the caller makes his an
nouncement from the rostrum amid

ZION CHURCH OBSERVES
HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY

The anniversary services celebrat-
ing the one hundredth birthday of
Zion Church, Bargaintown, proved a
great success and very interesting,
through the untiring efforts of the
pastor, Rev. John A. Naylor. Every
night of the two weeks the pulpit was
ably filled either by former pastor
or minister that held the attention
of the audience from the first to the
last word of his discourse. Also good
music was the feature of each service.
Many gifts were given to the old
church as tokens of regard, namely,
a handsomely bound pulpit bible, pull
pit hymnal and fifty church hymnals,
given in memory of the late Richard
and Buehla Scull, by E. A. Fort, of
Philadelphia; silver baptismal font
in loving memory of Richard Collins,
the late son of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS OPEN.

The outlook for the Vocational
Schools for the winter is very promis-
ing and many of the boys of the coun-
ty are taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to secure an agricultural educa-
tion. The initial enrollments exceed
ed the expectations of those interest
ed in the work. Over sixty boys and
young men of the county reported at
the schools on Wednesday, the 18th,
the date set for the registration, and
they expect to begin the work when
the schools open on the 10th. Many
others have expressed a desire to en-
roll as soon as the conditions at home
will permit. Enthusiasm is especially
high in Minotola where Mr.. Smith re-
ports an exceptionally large enroll
ment. The school at Bargaintown
has also shown encouraging develop
ment, drawing students from all of
the nearby towns. Arrangement has
been made whereby boys who are al
ready enrolled in the public schools
can take up the work on a part time
basis of one hour per day. This was
for the purpose of encouraging the
boys to continue their regular school
work and yet give them chance to
get a vocational training.
