THE BOHEMIA BRIDGE

We think the County Commission

tention that the Bohemia River bridge

Road Commission The Commission
ers have ordered the bridge closed
because the heavy hauling over II

unsafe. It is, OF course. tht duty OF
the Commissioners to kocp the bridge
in condition for ordinary travel under
ordinary conditions. But the build
ing of the new State Road down the
county creates an unusual condition.
It has subjected land when completed

and only two men We're saved
Details of the great German victory
in the Pacific seem to indicate that it
was due more to strategic than numer-
ical superiority. Though the advantage
in numbers may have been on the side
of the Germans, there was little or no
difference between the total dsplace-
ment and weight of metal on their
broadsideS.
Why the British flagship, which was
5000 tons greater than the largest of
the German vessels. and carried two
9.2-inch guns in her main battery,
should have allowed the Germans, with
guns of no greater caliber than 50, to
virtually put her out of action before
she even secured their range is yet to
be explained.
