The bewildering beauty of the aurora

later with extensive reports of Interrupt
tons to telegraph service, caused by
it's electric currents. Until 3 a. m.
Thursday the Western Union reported
interrupted service across Northern
Idaho, Montana. and the Dakotas, where
Wednesday night service virtually was
suspended. 1t also was reported that
train dispatching on the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway virtually ceased for several
hours and like conditions prevailed on
other northern transcontinental lines.

Mrs. L. A. Dudley of Durward's Glen
has sent to this office an account of a
terrific explosion which occurred near
Seattle, Washington. The country for
many miles around was shaken by the
blast of dynamite, there being about
fifteen tons discharged. The loss is
probably one hundred thousand dollars,
the above amount including the value
of the explosive and damage to the
homes and factories. The dynamite
was on scow attached to a buoy in
Elliott Bay. The dynamite was des-
tined fer Valivostok, Russia, and was
to have been shipped soon. With the
scow there disappeared a Waterman
whose name is not known and whether
he deserted his post or was blown up is
uncertain. A short time before the
above occurrence man, who aroused
considerablesuspicion by his odd actions,
purchased four hundred and fifty feet
of fuse in Tacoma, saying he was doing
some blasting on his ranch. He gave
an address which was afterwards found
to be vacant house.

STEAMER STRIKES BUGEYE
Col0red Man Drowned i'll Collision
-, Near Fort Washington

The steamer Southland. nf the
Norfolk ,,and Washington Steamboat
Company, struck a bugeye haililng
from Matthews county, and Loaded
with oysters, as the steamer was
rounding Sheridan Point, about eight
o'clock last Friday night. The bug
eye, which was being operated by a
gasoline engine, was sunk and q color
ed man drowned. The captain of the
oyster boat. a white man, was rescued
by, a boat sent from the Southland,
and he was taken to Old Point. He
is native of Matthews county.
The Southland was nearing Fort
Washington and had turned and was
heading toward Marshall Hall
when the bugeye, which
was on the Virginia side of the river,
suddenly appeared in front of the
steamer, which was making about
eighteen miles an hour A signal to
stop and back was given, but the
Southland had too much headway' to
stop in time to avoid collision. The
steamer struck the bugeye which sank
Immediately, and the steamer. which
had, been turned, ran aground. A boat
was lowered from the Southland and
the captain of the bugeye rescued, but
the colored man could not be found
although searchlights were turned
upon the spot where the accident oc-

PLANNED TO BUY PLANT.
Germans Ran Price Up TO About
Four Times Real Worth.

New York, Dec. 2i.-The efforts OF
German financiers and representative
es of the German government to pre-
vent the allies from getting the pro-
duct of American munition factories
were centered for u time, 1t IS learn
ed, in plans to buy the Union. Metal
ic Cartridge Company, Of Brigeport'
The purchase of that plant, it is
said. was part of the plan which GER
tain German representatives, includ-
ing Franz Rintelcn and Dr.. Reinrich
Albert, had for getting control of
arms and munition factories in this
country. In all their enterprises along
that line they were checkmated.
The strenuous attempts made by
the Germans to buy the plant are
shown by the fact that an offer of
$17,5OO,OOO for the plant was made
last spring. The company according
to Moody's Manua for 1918. had ST.
100000 capital stock issued. 1t was
admitted by various persons today
that the company was worth at least
S4,5O0,OOO, and perhaps more. But
the eagerness of the Germans to get
the plant led them to run their bid
up to $17,5OO,00O and they would
have gone even higher had they felt
there was any chance of getting the
controlling stock.
The aim of the Germans, it is said,
was to purchase the plant, and then,
when other German agents succeed
ed in stirring up labor troubles, let
the situation get worse and worse,
with the result that the plant even
tually would be tied up, and no ship
ments of cartridges for the allies
could be made at all.
1t is pointed out that the export Of
arms and ammunition for the allies
is just beginning to attain something
of the proportions that may be expect
ed for the next year. A steady growth
of the output of the munition fact
cries is expected from now. While
the shipment of arms and ammunition
is said now to average $2,500,000
day, there will be tremendous in
crease by the middle of March. BY
that time the capacity of the fac
tories in this country, under the pres
ent orders from the allies, will have
been reached.

Words of David Lloyd-George Set
Many to Thinking Throughout the

London. Dec. 27-The Asqultn
ministry was under heavy attack to-
day. Using David Lloyd-George's
charge, "too late as their slogan,
influential London newspapers have
launched campaign for reorganl-
zation of the ministry. Only prompt,
decisive action by the cabinet coun-
ell tonight on the conscription issue
can save the prime minister and sew

Lloyd-George himself, once an OBJ
iect of scorn among the British up
pcr classes" probably will become the
head of the government if Asquith
is forced out
Despite previous optimistic reports
it was limited in government circles to-
day that the Lord Derby recruiting
campaign did not bring in TO the army
the number of volunteers needed. The
very fact that the government has
not published the results apparently
confirms this report. The cabinet coun-
ell. it was generally understood, Will
be called upon tonight to meet the
conscript;on issue squarely
The conscriptionist advocates de-
manded today that there be no further
sdestepping. The government should
not attempt tc.' evade responsibility,
they asserted, by submitting the
question to general election. On the
other hand. the anti-conscriptionists
pointed to the threats of the labor
chiefs and the speech Of the Irish
leader John Redmond in commons as
indicating the danger facing adoption
of compulsory enlistment.
Unless the situation is met tonight
the leaders now in opposition to Pre-
mer Asquith expect to renew the
fight on the prime minister in COM
mons, rcopcning discussion OF the
Dardanclles and Balkans failures.

THE KaIsER's DREAM
Would Annex Alsace-Lorraine 4:
Part of Fruits of Victory

Berlin, Dec. 27-At time when the
enemies of Germany have openly pro-
claimed that the principal object or
the war is to crush forever the Prus-
sian hegemony in Germany, the Kali
ser's government announces that the
moment has come to realize the plans
for the Greater Prussia of which the
Kaiser has always dreamed.
No one in Germany today, even in
Bavaria or Saxony, thinks of denying
the fact so persistently proclaimed by
the Kaiser during these last months
that the splendid results achieved IN
this war are in the first place due to
the splendid organized and brilliantly
led Prussian army. Of the GO,000,OOO
people who make up the population
of the empire, two-thirds are Frus-
slams. Prussia is the heart and soul
of the German empire, and now the
moment has come when she is to reap
her reward.
1t will, in the opinion Of the Kaiser,
who is, first of all. King of Prussia
never be possible to find a more
propitious moment. The former
Reichsland (Alsace-Lorraine) must be
made province of Prussia while that
kingdom stands on the might Of her
military power.
There are people in Germany who
see in this desire on the part OF the
Kaiser, at a time like the present. ii
secret fear that if the annexation be
delayed until the end of the war some
unforeseen calamity may prevent 1t.
With Alsace-Lorraine added to ms
present kingdom, the Kaiser, as King
of Prussia. will tower head and shout
ders above the other Kings OF the en-
pire, namely, those of Bavaria, San
ony and Wuerttemburg.
!Alsace- Lorraine ranks sixth in size
among the twenty-six states that
make up the empire, coming immedla-
telv after the four Kingdoms and the
Grand Duchy of Baden. From the
viewpoint of density of population, az
ricultural industrial and mineral
wealth. Alsacc- Lorraine also Is highly
important. 1t would be very choice
morsel to add to Prussia. That the
population of the Reichsland. if they
cannot become French, would far
rather become BavarianS or BadenerS
carries no weight.
Alsace-Lorraine has now in full
played the part given to it by the
craftsmanship of Bismark, who maze
it the common property of all tn
states Of the empire he created, IN
order that they might forget their
mutual jealousy and distrust in face
of the danger that was cons family
threatening them from the Frene.
republic. -
Now that this internal jealousy
has at least temporarily disappeared
and the position of Prussia las the
dominating power in Germany has
been so fully established, the proba-
bility Of strong opposition against
the annexation is very slight.
