EVEaYBODY'S DOING IT.

Everybody seems to have caught the
spirit of spring cleaning. Bonfres
where trash and grass are being burned
may be seen any old time all over
town and q walk about our little city
discloses many nice clean yards and
trees aud flowers being planted
Another thing which is commenGnbl
is that our people have shown ten
dency to clean ap back yards and alleys
as well as the font yards and streets
Too often people seem to think that
just so they have a "Queen Anne"
front yard that it don't make any diff
ference what kind OF MARY Ann"
back yard they have. In our opinion,
II only one portion of the premises can
be given attention, it should be the
back yard for there is where the worst
filth accumuluates and where the most
unsanitary conditions prevail. BY all
means clean the back yard. and then
if you have the time (and you have)
give the front yard good going over
and plant few trees, shrubs and
flowers TO brighten up things a bit and
make life really more worth while
We want to congratulate the people OF
Beaver and thank them for the inter
est they have manifested this spring ia
cleaning up their premises and thus
making Beaver a better place in which
to live, and we want to urge them 70
keep it up. Keep the weeds down this
summer, grub up the sage brush
and urge the children and everybody
else TO pick up all the loose paper and
other trash that they see lying around
and you will be surprised TO see the
result Grass, which has hitherto beer
choked out by the weeds, will grow
and spread and instead OF having q
pile of sand which will slit and blow, a
nice carpet Of green will cover your
yards. Let US all 60 into this spring
cleaning movement and stay in and
work Just like the success of the whole
thing rested upon our own shoulders
BY so doing we can make Beaver, in
truth and in fact, "A spotless town"

The SUBMARINE FREIGHT TRAIN.

An underwater freight train that
makes it possible for submarine
torpedo boat to operate in hostile
waters for an indefinite period has been
devised by Simon Lake, an American
inventor, who has designed and con-
structed submersible fighting craft for
the navies of several OF the European
powers.
Just how many OF these novel supply
trains are in use, and by what nations,
are military secrets. 1t has been
pointed out by nayal authorities that
the German submarines which have
been operating as commerce destroyers
in the territorial waters of the British
Isles must have some means of replen-
ishing their supplies of fuel oil, fresh
water, food, and ammunition without
returning to q German naval base.
Few, il any, submarines now in exis-
tence are known to have q cruising
radius of more than 500 miles. German
submarines operating in the Irish Sea
and of the northwest coast OF Scotland
are at least 700 miles from the nearest
German port.
By means of the submerged supply
train, however, il is comparatively easy
for fighting submarine to obtain sup
plies at regular intervals with almost
complete secrecy, for the transfer OF
stores of all kinds can be made under
water. The only way the enemy could
detect what was going on would be by
observation from an aeroplare.
Two, three, or more, submersible
cars, cigar-shaped, water-tight, aud
fitted with buoyancy tanks inside the
wheels on the lower side, make up a
submarine freight train. These cars
have no propelling machinery nor
quarters for crews, but are towed be-
hind a self-propelling submarine,
which may also be equipped for firing
torpedoes.
Each OF the towed cars contains COM
partments for fuel oil and fresh water,
each with hose connection on the
outside of the hull, and a space for
food supplies and ammunition in water
tight cases. This last-named compart.
ment has a door opening outward, on
the bottom of the circular hull near
the keel.
Transferring supplies from the towed
cars to the towing craft or to an inde-
pendent fighting submarine is done on
the bottom OF the sea, in shallow wa
ter.
Arrived at the rendezvous, which
may be almost under the guus of the
enemy's coast Notifications and still be
unsuspected, the submerged freight
train comes to hault on the bottom
in 15 to 20 It. Of water. Under the bow
OF the towing vessel is door, opening
downward, leading in the sea from s
compartment that is cut OF from Tho
rest OF the crafts interior by alr-tight
bulkheads. This diving lock is another
feature developed by Mr.. Lake ant
used on nearly all his submarines. Ii
shallow water it is not difficult e
maintain, inside this locker, eitheI
from compressed air tanks or by th'
direct action ofa pump. an air pres
sure that will balance the externa
water pressure and keep the inside
dry even with the door wide open. Th'
diving compartment, in fact, is prac
tically a travelling diving bell. IL i
large enough to hold two men, one I,
aid diver, the other In diving armor
, being free to walk along the sea bot
tom and unload the tow-boats. OF

GERMANS TAKE MORE
THAN 100000 men
Numerous Cannon and Other War
Material Also Captured.

Berlin, Feb 3.-The German Official
statement announces that the cap.
lures in the battle of the Mazurian
lakes district cf East Prussia have
been increased 20 seven generals and
more than 10000 men The pieces
OF cannon taken numbered $50 The
text of the statement reads.
Another hostile trench was taken
by us to the east of Ypres Tin Bel
giuml The enemy's counter attacks
OF the captured positions remained
unsuccessful
In the Champagne district there
was comparative quiet The mum
ber OF prisoners taken by as during
the last battles in this region has
been increased 10 fifteen officers and
more than 1000 men. The sanguinary
losses of the enemy have been ex-
traordinarily high.
In the Nosges the villages of Hoch-
rad and Stossweier were taken by US
after a short engagement Other
wise nothing of importance occurred
In the Eastern Thester.
The pursuit after the winter battle
in the Mazurian district has come to
an end. During the clearing up of
operations to the northwest of Grod-
no and in the battles reported during
the last few days in the Bobr and
Nayew district one commanding gen

DUE TO LACK OF RAILWAYS
Russian Explanation Of Retirement in
East Prussia.

Petrograd, Feb. 23.-Explanation of
the Russian retirement from East
Prussia Is contained In a communica-
tion from the general staff Success
of the German coup is attributed
largely to the lack of strategic rail-
ways which prevented the Russians
from concentrating with necessary
rapidity on our East Prussian front
forces indispensable to ward of this
drive of the enemy"
The general staff asserts that the
massing of German troops in East
Prussia was revealed to the Russians
on Feb. 4, but that the magnitude of
the concentration did not become
known until several days later. Be-
cause of these conditions. 1t is stated,
withdrawal OF the Tenth Russian
army from East Prussia towards the
frontier was decided on This was
followed later by further retirement
towards the Niemen and the Bobr
rivers.

MUCH ALARM FELT
BY SCAND|NAvIANS

London, Feb. 23.-Germany's sub
marine blockade continues to be the
chief topic of interest In the United
Kingdom, although British shipping
apparently is moving with its usual
freedom. The Scandinavian neutrals,
however. are showing much alarm
over the situation, great sensation
having been caused In those countries
by the torpedoing of the Norwegian
steamship Belridge off Folkestone last
week
Representatives of the Scandinavian
governments are holding another con-
ference, the outcome of which is
awaited with much interest by neu-
trail shippers.
The question of naval convoy, IL
is understood, is being considered Sc
riously at the conference, but the
guarded contents of the newspapers
show that it is clearly recognized that
such a step might lead to war.
The question of the right of the
crews of five Danish ships to refuse
to sail for English ports is now be-
fore court which Is considering their
excuse that Germany is not likely to
respect neutral flag.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Disputed
provisions In the seaman's bill were
compromised in a conference of house
and senate managers after many

session.
Lake steamers would be required
to carry lifeboats for 20 per cent of
passengers and liferafts for 30 per
cent more.
Vessels plying within twenty-five
miles OF the coast would be required
to carry lifeboats and RATS for 35

Oceangoing vessels would carry life
boats for rs per cent and liferafts
for rs per cent more.

ASSERTS LOYALTY TO FLAG
Bartholdt, However, Says Germans
Do Not Get Square Deal.

Washington, Feb 23.-Declaring
Germany is not getting justice from
the United States, demanding hon
est neutrality and accusing Amer
lean newspapers of printing vile
calumnies upon the fatherland, Rep
resentatiye Bartholdt asserted in the
house:
Should the United States ever be-
come embroiled In war again the
Germans of this country would rally
to the American flag. We have not
had the same consideration as our
English brothers. Not a word has
been said about English and Jap
anese violations of Chinese neutral
ity.
Have we protested against Ameri-
cans being dragged from neutral ships
because they had German names?
Have we protested against England's
policy to starve German noncom-
batants? Have we protested against
England declaring the North sea a
war zone? No But when Germany
did the same thing we dispatched a
stiff note to Berlin a milder one to
England"
