filed with vacationists, and as it is
silver jubilee carnival month in Asbury

passed in point of numbers visiting
THE Town Without a Frown." This
year will see the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the founding of the baby
parade, which event was instituted by
james A. Bradley in 1890, and SO widely
copied by cities and resorts throughout
the country. The parade this year will
be especially attractive and many new
features will be introduced. 1t will
take place August 25. on Ocean avenue.
Each entrant will receive a silver knife,
fork and spoon.
Up to the present time more than 100
entries have been received and more
are coming in every day. All states OF
the Union will be represented, as we'll
as Hawaii and a few of the South
American countries. The prizes repre- :
sent many thousands of dollars and
range from a silver drinking cup to a
pony cart.
The next feature of interest in con-
nection with the baby parade will be
the announcement as to who VIII be

HEADQUARTERS OF THE BRIT

l4.-The Germans are firing shells
marked Made in the United States"
against the British. They have beer
doing so ever since the American NIL
itary attaches were withdrawn from
Germany.
1t is generally understood that the
American attaches were withdrawn
because the Germans repeatedly call
ed to their attention the fact that the
Russians were using American shells.
The situation became so embarrass-
ing to the attaches that they found it
necessary to leave. Then, almost as
soon as the attaches had departed
from Germany, British officers noted
that the Germans were usi4g shells
apparently Of American manufacture. G..
They bear the mark OF 'R Stock

There is sufficiently large collec-
ton of these shells at the British

using the shells so as to indicate to
the English that their navy is not
preventing the shipment OF ammuni-

There is no doubt that the ship

as soon as the war started, owing to
