Hos No 6Qil

A tailless calf has arrived at the
home of Herb. L. Smith near Lime
Ridge and is attracting considerable
attention in that neighborhood. Other
wise than being minus tail the heifer
calf is perfectly normal. One often
hears of freak animals but it is seldom
that a calf without tail comes along.
1t is needless to say the mother is just
as proud Of her offspring, tail or no
tail.

DOMINION FREIGHT
 LINER TORPEDOED
TWENTY-N.NE MEN IN AL L WERE LOST AND TEN WERE
 INJURED.

Washington. The DominiCA freight liner Armenian, living the British flag and carrying males from Newport News, Va, to England, was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-3S off Corn wall, Eng land, and nearly a score of American muleteers aboard are reported lost. according to messages to the State Department from John S. Armstrong. Jr., consul at Bristol.
 Twenty-nine men in all were lost and 10 injured
 The news created sensation in official quarters, as 1t was the first case of loss Of American lives since the sinking of the Lusitania. The action of the Washington govern. ment, however depends almost en- tirely on whether the Armenian was chartered by the British government and was, in fact a transport of war aboard which Americans would sail at their own risk, or whether she was an unarmed merchantmen. In the
 ' ing contraband the ship should have been subjected to visit and search and those aboard transferred to a place of salty before the destruction of the vessel was attempted, officials hold.
 In the absence of conclusive infor, nation on these points, officials de- clined to say what effect the sinking of the Armenian would have on pend ing negotiations between the United States and Germany Immediate in quiry was directed, however to Am bassador Page at London to obtain more details and when Secretary Lansing returns Ambassador Gerard will be instructed to inquire of the German admiralty as to it's report.
 From the messages received it ap- pears that in addition to the torpedo at least one shot was fired from a dis appearing rife. The consult's report said the wireless house was taken by second shot" It was not made clear whether the Armenian first was ordered to halt and resisted capture requiring a second shot or whether the submarine attacked without warn ing. The fact that the number of the submarine was given indicated that she had come to the surface to make the attack.
 Mules are contraband of war, ac- cording to all the lists of the bellig- erents, so there can be no doubt as to the contraband character of the Ar. menian'S cargo

BOMB WRECKS ROOM IN CAPITOL BUILDING
OFFICIALS BELIEVE EXPLOSIVE WAS PLACED BY A CRANK
 WISHING SENSATION
CLAIMS NO ONE INJURED
Superinte dent Woods Examined the Structural Features of Building
 and Found No Damage.

Washington. A tremendous ex- plosion, believed to have been caused by some kind of bomb or irfernal ma chine, wrecked the public reception room on the east side of the capitol building No one was injured.
 Officials believe that the explosive was placed by a crank who desired to lowed in the room during the day and timed machine might have been left without attracting attention.
 Superintendent Woods of the capi- tol building, summoned by panic stricken watchmen, made hurried investigation, then telephoned for an expert on explosives. Until the ex- pert has made his report no official statement will be made.
 Part of the ceiling and side walls of the room were shaken down, q huge mirror and a crystal chandelier shattered and the doors blown open. One. of the doors led into the offices of the vice president and is said not to have been opened in 40 years
 The building had been closed since dark and there was no one in it but the watchmen and telephone switch board operators. Watchman Jones, on the floor below at the east en- trance, said he was blown from his chair by the explosion.
 The report could be heard for a mile and in few minutes crowd of excited people had gathered on the east plaza Lights had been switched on and excited officials were rushing back and forth on two floors of tho great building.
 A strong odor permeated the build. ing, but no one seemed able to detect just what it was.
 Superintendent Woods said he had examined the structural features of the building and found that there was no damage other than in the imme- dite vicinity of the reception room.
 While some officials thought the ex- plosion was the work of an irrespol.- sible crank others suggested that it might have been perpetrated by q person desiring to demonstrate disap- proval of some of the policies of the American government. It was appar- ent that there was no intent to ie- stroy life, as it is generally known the room is empty at night

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Seen Remarkable "Government Satng Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at Onset and during the course of the sunny afternoon took a stroll on the beach, At one point they cams upon an improvised breakwater, where some resident had filled bags with sand and piled them in breastworks fashion to prevent the sea from en- croaching upon his land during the stormy season.
 One of the young ladies was curious immediately. She would know what the bags were for.
 Why, it's very simple" explained her companion with due gravity. The water in Onset bay originally was fresh, a peculiarity of nature which has puzzled scientists. It seemed too bad to deprive the place of seashore advantages so the government took the matter in hand. filled the bags with salt and thereby has imparted the proper flavor to Onset water"
 Far from rebuking him for being fresh" she is now telling her friends of having seen the government salt ing apparatus" down there.
