the apparentlo safe from molestation by
the enemy. Other war vessels of Great
Britain were scattered about and still
more were within easy call. And even
the sense of security thus felt undoubt-
eddy did not cause the tension of watch
ing for hostile ships to slacken in the
least degree, so the approach of an
enemy would have been most difficult
In such a situation came the blow. 1t is
more than probable that the Bulwark
went down through some carelessness
or defect on board herself, possibly
through some traitorous act; it is not
likely that Germany's navy would essay
such a bold stroke as to go up to Great
Britian's front door and strike down
one of its guardians. Barre Times.

The poppy throughout the east Is an

India this flower is planted upon graves

idea was suggested by the poisonous
character of the juice Is uncertain. 1t
Is believed that the poppy was known
as a funeral plant to the ancient Egyp-

1t was nearly full week before the
commonwealth of Massachusetts got
around to duplicate the town of Brook
lines offer of $500 for the capture and
conviction of the two yeggmen who shot
and killed drug store clerk in Brook

criminals chance enough to get away
from the territory in which the efforts
to capture the men might be expected
to be most earnest and effective. The
town OF Brookline was swift enough
in Offering IS reward, but even so the
capture has not been accomplished

THE MOST RECENT SEA DISASTER

THE MOST RECENT SEA DISASTER
Even had great Britan's press censor
been so minded, he could scarcely have
suppressed the news of the disaster to
the Battleship Bulwark in the mouth of
the Thames river, for themighty detona-
ton which accompanied the sinking of
the great ship gave terrible warning to
the shore communities and even many
miles into the interior of England The
accident happened (for the public is dis
posed to take the admiralty 5 view that
it was an accidenD right at the front
door of England, so to speak, so that
the event could not be yelled in secrecy.
Indeed, the sound must almost have car
ried to London itself only 35 miles up
the Thames and the swift dispatch of
the tidings came with tremendous shock
to the British people because of the sud
den transition from comparative peace
and quiet into the midst of wars hor-
ror's right at home.
That direct agency of the emergency
should have been responsible for the loss
of the BulWark does not seem possible
at this time, although tits admitted that
for brazen daring at sea nothing can
surpass the moves of the German naval
army. The Bulwark was riding at anchor
just off Sheerness, as much at home as
if tied to the doors of Parliament itself

Walter c. Davis. secretary OF the

the Board Of Water Commissioners con
tanning the information that the central
body had learned that plumbers OF the
department had been laid off and their
places filled with plumbers apprentices
Mr.. Davis said the central body desired
reply 10 the letter.
Chief Engineer Hopes. upon being
asked to explain the situation, said that
soon after the first OF the wear work
became slacl, tor tho department
plumbers and the fact that City Coun-
cil failed TO supply the necessary funds
to install the meters made IL impossible
for the department to keep All It's
plumbers at work Accordingly the four
plumbers were called together and in
formed that the department was unable
to continue their services. They drew
lots and since that time the men have
been working hall time, two men work
ing alternate weeks.
Mr. Hopes said no apprentices
are employed by tho department.
During the extreme cold snap Mr..
Hopes said more than thirty meters
we're frozen and every available man
employed by the department was
utilized. The plumbers put IN all the
meters and other men were press
ed into service to repair the
meters. All that was necessary
was to unscrew the attachments
