SERBIA MAKING LAST DITCH

help to Serbia, its fate may be that of
Belgium! Serbians claim to be hold

Complaints that the John German

workers in it's factory, 1136 w. Van

SAYS GERMAN DIGGING
EQUALS CHINA WALL
Genius Figures Trenches Are on
aPar with Ancient Wonder.

Berlin, Nov. l. Some genius for
figures has estimated that the German
soldiers who have had to bear the bur.
den Of trench digging since the begin
ming of the war have excavated a
quantity Of earth in cubic feet equiv
alent to the Great Wall of China. He
arrives at his conclusion in the fol.
lowing way;
The Great Wall is 2,45O kilometres
long, 1875 metres high, 8 metres wide
at the bottom and metres wide at
the top. The German lines in April
extended $50 kilometres in the west
and about 1900 kilometres in the east.
Behind these first lines, however. er-
tended secondary and in most cases
third or fourth lines, all connected up
by miles Of "Laufgraben," or communl-
cation trenches.
Since April the German positions
have repeatedly changed, necessitat-
ing the construction of new trenches.
Each trench is usually from six or
seven TO a dozen feet in depth and
little narrower Connected with each
one are countless underground shell
tiers. Taken altogether, the estimator
believes, the trench-digging record OF
the German soldiers In fourteen
months is quite on par with the
decade-long record OF the Chinese

British Trick Coaxes Submarine

Iron Anchors for Copper Ones.

British cruisers have a new way 70

ton, according 70 Frank F. Boulton, OF
the Federal Forwarding Company, OF
this city, who arrived yesterday on the
Noordarn, Of the Holland America
Line. Mr.. Boulton said ne got his in
formation from Captain Andersen, OF
the Norwegian steamer Nitalla, who
witnessed the destruction Of U-boat
BY a British cruiser disguised as
tramp steamer.
CAPTAIN Andersen was steaming near
a dingy looking ship, whose wooden
sides and upper works and unpa-Al-d
funnel proclaimed her tramp. Sud
denly a submarine rose not FAR from
the tramp, and the captain, with an
other officer, crawled out on deck 10
hail their intended victim. Without
warning the wooden sides fell away
from the supposed tramp steamer, dis
closing a fully armed British cruiser
A broadside riddled the submarine with
shells. The wounded officers were res
cued and are now prisoners IN a Brit
ISL hospital.
MANY clever schemes for smuggling
contraband goods from Holland have
been adopted by the Germans. Mr..
customs inspector recently split open
one of a consignment Of cement paving
blocks that were about to cross the
border. He found it filled with ben
zine, and the whole lot was confiscated.
A successful ruse to obtain copper
Mr.. Boulton added. is for the small
river craft TO exchange their iron
anchors in Holland for copper ones
which they take back to Germany.
The Noordam was inspected by four
German Taubes soon after leaving Rot
terdam. A large Dutch flag spread out
on the top deck convinced the German
ayiators Of the ships neutrality.
British authorities held up the Moor
dam for four days at the Downs. and
took ashore one cabin passenger and SIX
from the steerage. The ship brought
353 passengers.

Edward Hatch. jr.. chairman Of the

"The persistent and determined eff

ties TO contaminate the Croton water
supply by the discharge of doctored
sewage from the public institutions
which are being established in the
Croton watershed is without precedent
in the states experience. Generally

GALTS' ANCESTRAL
HONE A GOLF HOUSE
Was Built by Selby Monks at
ChellOW, England.


Bradford, England, Nov. THE an
nouncement of the engagement OF
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait has
aroused considerable interest in Eng
land, where it is felt that kinship can
be claimed with the descendant Of
Pocahontas through her ancestors, the
Bollings, Of Boiling Hall. The dis
covery has been made that what is now
a golf clubhouse must be looked upon
as Mrs. Cats ancestral home.
The original Boiling rendered some
service to King John, and received Boil
ling Manor, in Bradford, in return. Fol-
lowing the custom Of those days, he
adopted the territorial title and became
Tristram Boiling. the first Of many OF
that name. In later days the Bollings
became first tenants and then owners
of a grange which the monks of Selby
Abbey had built on the hilltop at Chel-
low, on the other side of the little
valley from Boiling Hall.
Toward the end of the fifteenth cen
fury, Tristrsm Bolling's daughter Rosa
mond made brilliant marriage with
Sir Richard Tempest, of Bracewen. To
th-m Tristram Boiling made a present
of the Hall, and then retired, being, 1t
is presumed, a widower and an elderly
man. to the dover" house of Chellow
Grange. Later, however, he married
again, and raised another family, OF
three sons and two daughters. 1t was
a descendant of his second marriage,
Colonel Robert Boiling, who migrated
to Virginia when only fifteen years Old
and later married Jane Rolfe, grand
Janohter of John Rolfe and Poca-
bonfas. from whom Mrs. Gait is de-
scended.
