"Only one other evening news

the news of the death in the Wall

York addresses and they were the
only newspaper kilograms that got
out of Italy before the government
stopped all dispatches.
Wood won in the race by a matter
of seconds only, for neither he nor
any other private individual could get
a line out of Rome by telegraph after
his two code messages had been
sent.
The pope was dead and the censor
ship came right at Woods heels,
drawing the curtain, according to all
precedents and holding up messages
for about eight hours.
The fact that Immediately after
Woods kilograms were filed the Ital-
ian government refused to allow any
other kilograms of any kind to leave
Rome is in itself conclusive proof
that the pope was dead when Wood
filed his dispatches. Woods two
kilograms to different New York adj
dresses were sent at the same time.
One of them reached New York at
1926 New York time, or 1926 Rome
time, and the other at S:55 New York
time.
This shows the, possibility of &C
cidental delay because of the Euro
mean war which Woods American
methods had to chance even after his
telegram had beaten the Italian CEN
sor to the frontier. By sending two
messages Wood got this risk down
to the minimum.
It was the final move in carefully
planned operation worked out by
American ingenuity.
1t played it's part in assisting the
United Press and it's American train

To feed the Beast so grimly near.
None but thou can'st his feast pre-

Thou hast no time to cringe and pray,
Dear Christ, let this cup pass away

GRAVEL REPAIRS

The taxpayers Of the town OF Brat

constructing gravel streets within the
limits of the village, where they are
subj jccted to a large amount of auto
mobile traffic every day, says the Brat

conceded that s,:aral pieces OF streets
which have been built during the past
few years of macadam have gone 10
pieces. Sections of some of the streets
are filled with small holes which arc
gradually growing larger. In many of
these water remains. thus making u

NAVAL DUEL WON BY

German Ship Cap Trafalgar Sunk
Victory Offset by Disaster to

LONDON, Sept. q. - The Cuuardcr
Carmania, converted into British
auxiliary cruiser, has engaged and sunk
the German armed merchant cruiser
Cap Tratalga OIL the east coast Of
South America. The Carmauia lost
nine men killed. She had % wounded,
