Bees to Fight Troops.

In the bush fighting in East Africa
the Germans and their black troops
placed hives of wild bees partially

side of narrow tracks along which our
troops must advance, Wires or cords

advancing troops, and swarms OF infu-

hackers The failure of the attack at
certain points is said to have been due
as much to this onslaught of the 'lit-
tie people" as to the German rifles
and machine-guns, many men being
so horribly stung on the face or hands
as to be temporarily blinded or rem

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION
Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had
Seen Remarkable Government
Sailing Apparatus"

They were passing the holiday at
Onset and during the course OF the
sunny afternoon took stroll on the
beach. At one point they came upon
an improyised 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 popularity of nature which
has puzzled scientists. 1t 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 impaired
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.

AMERICANS PERISH
WHEN LINER SINKS
AMERICAN MuLETEERs PERISH
WHEN DOMINION LINER 10
SUNK BY GERMANS.
Action Of United States Government
Depends on Whether Ship Was
Given Warning and Attempted to
Escape From Submarine.

Washington. The Dominion freight
liner Armenian, flying the British flag,
and carrying mules from Newport
News, Va, to England, was torpedoed
and sunk on Monday night by the
German submarine U-38 off Cornwall,
England, and nearly a score of Ameri-
can muleteers were reported lost, ac-
cording to messages received by the
state department Wednesday from
Consul John S. Armstrong, Jr., at
Bristol Twnty-nine men in all were
lost and ten injured.
From messages received it appears
that in addition to the torpedo, at
least one shot was fired from disap-
pearing rife The consul's report said
the wireless house was taken by sec
ond shot" 1t was not made clear
whether the Armenian was ordered to
halt and resisted capture, requiring
second shot, or whether the sub
marine attacked without warning. The
fact that the number of the submarine
was given indicated that she had
come to the surface to make the at
tack.
1t is taken for granted that the Ar
menian was unarmed, as such yes
sells usually carry no guns of any de-
| scription. Even if she actually had
been under charter by the British
government, there is an understand
ing between the United States and
Great Britain that none of the latter's
ships shall be given clearance from
American ports if armed.
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. Officials will make
an effort to learn, however, whether
the vessel was armed and if she was
a part of the British naval forces, be-
fore the opinion of the state depart.
ment on the case will be disclosed.

CHAPTER XII.
The News from Afrlca.

II took the better part OF three eve
nings to answer her letter. and the
writing of II gave Sabron a vast
amount OF pleasure and some tender
sorrow. It made him feel at .once so
near to this lovely woman and at once
so far away. In truth there is great
difference between spahi on an Az
rican desert, and a young American
heiress dreaming In her chintz-coyered
bedroom IN chateau in the Midi of
France
Notwithstanding, the young Ameri.
can heiress felt herself as much alone
in her chintz-covered bedroom and as
desolate, perhaps more so. than did

people hostile TO her friend.

REASONS FOR GRATITUDE.

Let US be thankful for abundant
harvests, for busy days in mill and
factory, for the incentives to industry
and its more adequate rewards. Let
US be thankful that educational stand
ards are lifted and educational oppor-
tunity is b~roadened so that home and
state strive together as never before
for the making of an intelligent citi-
zenship.
Let US be thankful that old fash
toned virtue is given highest place in
the peoples thought, higher than pre-
tentious wealth or social prestige OF
any public office if it be unworthily
gained or held. Let us be thankful
for the integrity which vice cannot
by bride corrupt, for the fine courage
which vice cannot i%ntimidate. Let us
be thankful if by all the helps afford
ed US we have wrought worthily, and
if we cannot with glad hearts look
back upon our yesterdays let us be
thankful that, by Gods help, there
may be brighter tomorrows.

AS a religious people who do not

JUDGE WEEKS FIGURES
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

While en- route for home in his au-
tomobile from a visit in Pennsylvania,
Magistrate Joseph F. Weeks narrowly
escaped a serious accident when a
bolt in his steering gear broke and
losing control of the machine, ran off
the road into a fence. Only for the
moderate speed and the prompt ac-
ton of the Squire in applying the
brakes more serious damage would
have resulted.
In the machine with him at the
time were his wife and daughters,
Sarah and Lillian. Both Mrs. Weeks
and Miss Sarah were thrown from the
machine. Miss Sarah was hurled ov-
er the fence and but for the shock
she suffered no serious injury. Mrs.
Weeks fell on the fence and a portion
of the wire tore a large cash on the
left side of her face near her eye.
The two occupants of the front seat
were uninjured.
Pressing into service a passing
auto, Mrs. Weeks was hurried to the
office of a physician in Berlin, near
which city the accident occurred. The
cut required ten stitches to close it.
After Mrs. Weeks had received
medical attention the party completed
their journey home in another ma
chine.
The Magistrates machine, while
temporarily disabled, suffered no SER
ious damage.
