USES FIRST AID ON SELF
WHEN HIT BY RATHER

Gregory. s. D.. Aug. 2S.-Struck by
the fangs of a ra~ttlesnake while on a
load Of hay. Carl Hoblit, employed on
the farm Of Benjamin Bailey, probably
saved his life by his presence of mind.
Immediately after the fangs had pen
etrated his arm he cut the wound
with a knife and then sucked out the
poison. He then went to a nearby
farm house, where the wound was cut
still deeper and more blood drawn out
and an antiseptic applied. Aside from
being made sick from the effects of
sucking out the poison and having a
very sore arm, he is none the worse for
his narrow escape. He was pilfng hay
on a hay rake when he heard the his
sing of a rattler behind him, the snake
evidently having been raked up with
the hay. Hoblit placed his arm behind
him to get off the rake, when the
fangs of the reptile struck him near
the elbow.

Washington. Aug. SLIT has been
rumored in Washington that admiral
Won Tirpitg. Germany's sea lord, may
be relieved Of his office as the result
of the concessions to be made to the

There has been a suggestion in dip
lomatic circles in Washington that
Won Tirpitz was responsible for the
sinking of the Arabic.
It is SaidJthat when directed to issue
instructions to submarine commanders
not to attack passenger liners, save un-
der recognized procedure, he failed to
do so, leaving those commanders to act
under the old instructions.
Whether or not these rumors are true
cannot be stated on good authority, but
it is known that Won Tirpitz fought the

respect rules of International law on
