Caring for Camps.

In closing summer camps for the sea-
son, most people are careless as to san
itation and safety, and sometimes have
rude awakening when their property
is rifled or when they find an unexpect-
ed hatch of vermin next warm weather.
Good locks on the doors and solid
shutters, fastened on the inside, are
about the only things that will keep out
marauders, and a thorough cleaning up
of the grounds, utensils and food recep-
tacles, done this fall, will make things
sweeter and cleaner in the spring
Mosquitoes and flies breed in standing
water decaying waste and food refuse.
A rake, spade and little gravel will
soon make the grounds sterile, so far as
these vermin are concerned, and a care
full cleansing of dishes, interiors and gar
bage pals or barrels will go far toward
making the camp healthy next year.
All food liable to decay should be
thrown away or saved, water pals emp
tied pots and kettles revsered and things
generally made snug for winter. Dis
connecting water supply, draining sinks
or boilers, or similar precautions, are OBJ
viously. important.
One of the chief charms of Vermont
summer is the summer camp. See that
it is cared for.-Rutland Herald.

SUBMARINE AND
DESTROYER LOST
IN NIGHT DUEL
Italy Lost the Destroyer and Austria the
ubmarine-Most of the Crew of
the Destroyer Were Saved.

Rome, Monday, via Paris, Tuesday
Nov. An Austrian submarine and ltal-
ian destroyer were sunk in duel on
the night of Oct. l6, according to an Off
cial statement issued by the admiralty
to-day. The submarine had attacked a
transport, which escaped. A majority
OF the crew of the destroyer was saved
and two officers and II men of the sub
marine were made prisoners. The trans
port was engaged in carrying troops and
was being conveyed by the destroyer.
On the night of Nov. }, the statement
says, several Italian destroyers sank a
large Austrian steamer anchored at Du-
razzo under shelter of defenses and a
mine field. Enemy destroyers came out
and were attacked by the Italian war
ships and forced to retreat.
On Nov. 5, three enemy destroyers APP
peared at dawn before Santa Pidio and
began to lombard that part of the coast,
although no military works are there.
An Italian armored train rushed up, en-
gagged and drove off the enemy. Two of
the destroyers were hit and one was
seen with heavy list being assisted by
Others.
"The enemy fire." the statement says,
"was ineffective, one railroad man being
slightly wounded and small damage was
done to private property"

NO AEROPLANES PRESENT
When Germans and French Locked in
Deadly Battle.

With the French Army on the Somme
front, Nov. 5, via Chantilly-(F From a
staff correspondent of the Associated
Press The battle to-day in the district
between Saillisel and St. Pierre wood
was fought without the assistance of
seroplanes. The wind blowing so miles
an hour prevented the planes from
ascending and consequently the e~artillery
fire from German batteries as well as
from the French and British was uncon-
trolled aerially. Every inch of the bat
tleground was a danger spot and the
correspondent of the Associated Press
and other correspondents were compelled
to take shelter in a dugout.
When the French infantry attacked
powerfully defended series of trenches
with trench mortars and grenades they
found a strong garrison, which in one
portion surrendered in a body with their
more than 500 running at a rae
ing pace into the French lines and for
two miles and a half to the rear. accom-
panied by only half a dozen French
guard.

two kilometers square. with many posi-

TEUToNS FORCED TO RETREAT.
Rumanians, Aided by Russians, Forced
Them Back.

London, Nov AFTER a week or more
of doubt concerning the operations in the
Doburdja region of Rumania, where the
forces of the Teutonic allies had been
marching almost unimpeded northward
across the province from the Black sea to
the Danube, comes the report that the
Rumanians have now taken the often
sive, probably aided by Russians, and
compelled the Teutonc allies to retreat
at several points.
On the Transylvanian front, however,
the Rumanians in the Jiul valley who for
some time had been holding the upper
hand over hte Austro-G Germans, forcing
them to give ground, have now been
stopped, the Teutons having brought up
reinforcements. In the Predeal pass re-
gion, after heavy fighting the Rumanisns
also have met with a reverse, being
to retreat after long and stub
born battles.
