trio car between Green Bay and De
pere Sunday night discovered why
women fear rats, except those that
they wear in their hair, says a Mich.
iean dispatch.
When the panic subsidized, the men
in the car looked out of a window,
while a young woman removed her
skirts and shook out a rat which had
been beaten to death in the folds of
her garments.
A girl from Depere and her escort
were the chief figures, especially the
girl, under whose skirts the rat
found false security. The escort
caught the squirming animal in the
folds of the girls clothing and beat
1t to death with his cane.

annronriate To the celebration oil
N%ashington's birthday was sent oy
william H. Kirwin at his licensed
station 80 X. E." for transmission
throughout the country.
The message. which was dispatch
ed at IL p. m, from Davenport. Ia
was picked I'D by all stations within
800 miles of Davenport and reiayed
in every direction for Transmission
to the governors of each state ana
the aye of the principal cities.
The message was delivered TO XIII
win at his station by a messenger
from the Rock Island government
arsenal. It was expected that at
least 500 operators would receive the
message officially, while thousands
of others would pick 1t up. The mes
sage read as follows:
"A democracy requires that a peo-
pie who govern and educate them
selves should be so armed and disci-
plined that they can protect them
selves.
(Signed) "Col. Nicholson, U. S. A
The country was divided into dis
tricts for the relaying of this mes
sage. These district form operlap-
ping circles with the relay stations
at the centres. Some stations are so
situated that they probably will re-
oeiye the message twice.
I'VE will attempt to weed out the
men who are not capable of getting
these messages" Mr.. Kirwin said,
and we will be able in future to
pick out the most desirable men"
Those operators not authorized to
receive the message who in any way
delay its transmission will be re-
ported to federal officials for pun
ishment.
Arrangements have been made to
have the message read by boy scouts
at Mount Vernon and on the battle
field of Bunker Hill.

Railroad Accident in Connecticut
Disregard of a cautionary signal
probably was responsible for a rear
collision on the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad near Mil
ford, Conn, Tuesday, in which eight
persons lost their lives and fully
fifty were injured. according to
Charles c. Elwell of the Connecticut
public utilities commission.
The states investigation already
ia under way, but inasmuch as four
railroad employees, the most import
at witnesses. we're killed, 1t will be
difficult to FIX responsibility, Mr.. FL
well said.
Two passengers. a man and a
woman, were killed instantly when
a local train running at forty miles
an hour, crashed into the rear of the
Greenfield express. which had been
stalled because of a broken air hose.
Two other passengers died in hospi-
tails to which they were taken.
The official theory of the accident
is that the engineer of the local dis
regarded or failed to see the eau
tionary signal, and could not make
his brakes hold when he came in
sight of the danger signal.
One of the heroes of the wreck
was George L. T~ourtellette, flagman
sent back from the stalled train, who
stood in the path of the approaching
local, frantically waving his red flag
until escape was impossible and he
was killed under the engine wheels.

On the fifteenth there was a con-

The object of the building policy
formulated in 1903 by the navy gen-
eral board, it was disclosed at Wash
ington, Tuesday, before the House
naval committee, was to keep the
United States ahead for naval SUI
premacy.
The statement was made by Rear
Admiral Charles j. Badger, a men,
Der of the general board. who ex-
planned that the policy had contem-
plated a fleet of forty-eight first line
battleships by 1919 to accomplish its
purpose.
The statement did not go into the
records of the hearing and Admiral
Badger did not amplify it to show
why the board had thought such a
course necessary. The admiral was
replying to a suggestion that the OBJ
ject of the old policy, abandoned this
year by the board, was to keep the
American navy in second place.
While that was the effect it had, he
said, the real object was to keep
ahead of Germany.

The entire crew of the Zeppelin
airshir brought down by French guns

ty-two in number, persisted, according
to a Havas dispatch from Bar-le-Duci
The Zeppelin was one of the latest
models, according to advices, being
of the marine type, and numbered
LIT. Another Zeppelin was follow
ing it fifteen kilometers behind when
the French gunners began to fire.
The crew OF the second Zeppelin,
witnessing the destruction of the
LIT, turned their airship sharply
and proceeded in another direction.
The presence of the Zeppelin was
announced between $50 and S:45.
1t fought against the wind and ad-
yanced slowly. AS soon as it was
within range the cannonade began.
Two shells burst in the rear of the
dirigible while an incendiary proiec-
tile seemed to tear across the Zeppe-
lin, igniting the right side of the
craft.
On touching the earth the bombs
which the Zeppelin carried exploded.
The Zeppelin was struck by the
incendiary shell at a height Of 5000
feet.
A Zeppelin dropped bombs Sunday
at Luneville, fifteen miles west of
Nancy. The damage was slight. The
dirigible was pursued by French aero
planes and went off in the direction
of Metz.

Cut Adrift, Drops 1000
Feet to Safety in Parachute
By .4ssocioted Press

Paris, March 22.-The parachute,
with which all observers in French
captive balloons have now been pro-
Vided, was given a genuine test recent
ly near Clermont i'm the Argonne re-
gion. German shells had cut the
ropes holding one of the largest of
these. balloons. 1t Immediately rose
to height of 1000 feet and drifted
toward the German lines. The watch
ers below saw the observer get out of
the basket and launch himself into
space.
After a sharp drop, the parachute
opened and the observer reached the
ground i'm perfect safety about 800
yards within the French line. The
first sharp drop of about $50 feet he
later explained was distinctly disagree
able but after the parachute spread
the descent was pleasant and was so
gentle that during the 90 minutes
which it lasted he had leisure to con-
tinue to take observations of the
movements i'm progress beyond the
German lines.
