came dangerously near being wrecked a
few miles beyond Paintsville
A rail on a curve had broken in two
parts and a piece about seven inches
long had been torn from ore edge. The
train was tagged within a few yards
or the spot. and came to n jolt that
tossed the passengers about in their
seats.
Immediately there were reports that
an effort had been made to derail the
train. and the reports were given some
color by the remarks of one railroad
man. who said that In his opinion some
one must have used heavy hammer
on the rail to cause such a break.

BRITISH AND FRENCH
MAKE FURTHER GAINS

Paris, July 12.-While calm prevail
ed on both sides of the Somme, heavy
fighting occurred on the right bank of
the Meuse, in the Verdun sector. Ger
man forces succeeded in gaining a
footing in the Damloup battery, which
has been bitterly fought over for days
past, and in some sections of the
French line in the Fumin wood.
This news is contained in the official
statement issued by the French war
office.
"On the right bank of the Meuse,'
the war office report says, "the Ger.
mans renewed their attacks on the.
front Of the Fleury station, the Vaut
wood, Chapitre and Chenois.
After several fruitless attempts
which cost him heavy losses, the en-.
envy succeeded in gaining footing in
the Damloup battery and in some ele
ments of our line in the F'umin wood
The bombardment is being maintained
intensely in the whole region

May SPEND BIG sum
ON NIAGARA FALLS

Ottawa, Ont, July 12-The develop
ment of 100000 horsepower of cleo.
trio energy below the Niagara Falls,
without disturbing the Horseshoe and
American falls, and the expenditure
of $100,000,000 in the work, are pro-
posed in q scheme that has been sub
mitted to the Dominion, government
for approval.
The. promoters are an incorporated
company, the Thompson Porter Gaia
ract company, headed by T. Kennard
Thompson and Peter A. Porter, two
Americans. They propose to place a
dam in the rapids below the falls to
raise the water 100 feet. Half the
power developed would go to New
York state, and the other half to On.
tario, and the company would agree to
sell the Canadian half of the dam to
Canada at the initial cost, plus a per
centage, and to make an agreement
as to the charge to be made for pow
er. The government will appoint a
commission of engineers to look into
the scheme.

EXPLOIT OF GERMANS
PRAISED BY ENCLAND

London, July 12.-"We are quite
ready to join in the laugh against our
selves and to applaud the skill and
daring of the captain, who appears to
us as sportsman and has earned his
laurels cleanly," says the Manchester
Guardian, referring to the German
submarine Deutschland.
The Guardian says pla-:-." for sub.
marines of 5000 or 1000 tons existed
in Germany and England before the
war, but that such vessels were not
built because of the time required to
submerge them and the impossibility
of submerging in shallow water.
1t points out that the Australian sub.
marine AE-2 went from Australia to
the Dardanelles and says that if the
captain and crew of the Deutschland
are members of the imperial German
navy the submarine may be dealt with
as a naval auxiliary
Otherwise, it is a blockade runner
which could be ordered to stop, and if
it attempted to submerge, it would be
justifiable to sink it."
