lis Given a Parkersburger Who
is in the United States
Navy Service.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec. g..
Lieutenant Bernie II. Camden, for
merly Of Parkersburg. now command
ing the revenue cutter Window, ar
rived at Baltimore q few days ago
from Galveston. The Window has
been ordered to. take the place Of the
Apache in winter cruising work on the
chesapeake bay and its tributaries,
while the Apache is undergoing re-
pairs, and will take up her duties at
once.
Lieutenant Camden was In Wash
ington this week In conference with
the heads OF the service in regard to
the new duties OF his command. 1t
will probably be month before the
work on the Apache lis completed and
during that time the Window will
cruise over Chesapeake bay: ready to
give aid to any small craft in service
on 1t, that may be in trouble through
stress Of the weather, stranding or
other causes.
The assistance given these small
craft of the bay by the government
during the winter season is OF the
greatest value to bay navigators, who
are unfortunate enough to meet with
disaster to their vessels and are too
poor to pay wreeking concerns to
help them out of their trouble. on
the completion Of repairs on the
Apache, Lieutenant Camden has been
ordered to. report at Arundel Cove.
where the Window will undergo ex-
tensive repairs.

fourteen men exploded, wrecking the
descending carriage and dropping
the victims to the bottom of the

men were going to work and at a
time when the entrance to the mine
was crowded with men waiting to be
lowered to the various levels. The
carriage had descended to about 100
feet from the bottom Of the shaft
when from some unknown cause. to
dynamite exploded The case was
ripped to pieces and all the men
dropped into the mine refuse at the
bottom of the shaft.
The escape of the driver boss is
considered almost miraculous. Near

and some were torn to pieces, show
ing that they were instantly killed
by the explosion.
Among the victims was Thomas
Thomas. Of West Scranton, a veteran
miner, who was SO decrepit that he

During the day Of December s

one of our trenches with mine.
ION the heights OF the Mouse our

LONDON, Dec. 9-The center of
the German line in Russia Poland,
having occupied LODI. It is continu-
Ing to push on to the eastward after
the retiring Russians. according to
official announcement made in Ber-
lin. Nevertheless. the strain on
both sides has been terrific and the
losses heavy, so that lull probably
soon will set in on this part of the
eastern battlefront while the troops
fecupcrate.
The Russians continue to assert
that their retirement from Lodz was
a strategical necessity rather than a
defeat. bGt 1t will take further de-
svelopments to show whether this
claim is correct or not. Twice driven
back from Warsaw the Germans are
again in a position to advance on the
capita, of Russia Poland and even
the British press. which minimizes
the Importance of the taking of LODI.
points out that it is on the trunk
line railroad between Calisz and
Warsaw, which line Is now held by
the invaders probably to a point con-
siderable to the east of the occupied
city.
WING AtA1G SLAO sANAAA
,ity Of LODI it would appear that
Germany had crushing victory al
most within her grasp and lost 1t by
not being able to unite her forces
while the Russians were successful
In gaining a dominant position which
they could not hold.
In the western arena while 1T
would appear still generally true that
the Germans are more on the defen..
ssivsz than-.the offensive, the news
that they have made violent attack
to the south of Ypres indicates that
they have not abandoned the idea Of
breaking through to the French
coast and 1t is said that the pick or
the Germany army has been. concen-
trated for this latest effort.
The fate of General Beyors in
South Africa has not yet been abso.
,lutely cleared up. If he is dead, as
believed, it will remove the last of,
the important South African rebels.
General Dewet is a prisoner, Colonel
Maritz fugitive. and most of the
commands have been broken up.
