EAST CABOT
Serious Accident Averted BY Kingbolt
Coming Out of Sled.

What might have been a serious acct
dent was narrowly averted Saturday
afternoon by the kingbolt coming out OF
the sled on which Harry Gamblin was
riding. Mr.. Gamblin, in company with
Enos Hopkins, was returning from Calais
with two loads of household goods, when,
below George Drew's, the sled on which
Mr.. Gamblin was riding began to slide
over the steep cmbankment and but for
the kingbolt coming out and letting the
load loose from the horses, it might have
proved fatal for both driver and horses.
Mr.. Gamblin was somewhat damaged by
the fall. This is a very dangerous place
and there being no guardrail makes it
more SO. We hope to see a good strong
fence built there before someone is killed.

1862 Men Were Picked Up, And
63s Are Missing.

Paris.-The steamer Gallia, and
auxiliary cruiser carrying 1000 Ser
bian and French soldiers, was tor
pedoed and sunk by a submarine.
Thirteen hundred and sixty-two men
picked up by French cruiser and
landed in boats on the southern coast
OF Sardinia, have been accounted for
thus far. The torpedo caused the
explosion of ammunition in the hold
of the Gallia and also destroyed the
wireless apparatus, making 1T i'm
possible to send calls for help. The
crew and troops took to RATS and
small boats, number of which
were picked up by the French cruiser.
Others reached the Sandman shore.
The Gallia was a 1,500-ton steam
ship, STA feet long and Ga feet beam.
She was built In the Seine in 1913
and owned by the Compagnie de

BERNST0RFF MEETS WILSON
Secretary Daniels Instructed to Keep
the President Fully Informed
on U-eoat happenings.

Long Branch, N. J.-Secretary
Lansing left Washington for the
Presidents summer residence to hold
a conference over the submarine
raids off the American coast.
Announcement that the secretary
of state would confer with the
president confirmed the impression
sidered the attacks on vessels of the
American coast by a German sub
marine as fraught with grave posi-
bilities. At the same time, II was
made clear there Ia nothing In the
reports so far received to show that
international law or the earlier
promises OF Germany have been
violated. Concern over the situation
centered chiefly about the possibility
OF what might happen II the sub
marine attacks are continued.
The position OF the American 60
vernment and its determination to
make a full investigation before act
ing was made clear in the following
statement given out by the president.
THE government will. OF course,
first inform itself as to all the facts
that there be no mistake or doubt so
far as they are concerned, and the
country may rest assured the German
government will be held TO the
complete fulfillment of it's promises
to the government of the United
I I'll 20
ton their willingness to fulfill them"
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, who came here to give
the president personal letter from
the German emperor on Polish relief
discussed with President Wilson the
new activities OF German submarines.
1t was understood the president
made it clear that while the Ameri-
can government had no intention OF
interfering with the legitimate ac-
tivities OF submarines, 1t would insist
on the strict observance OF the pied
ges given previously by the German
government.
The executive Offices here were
kept In communication with Secretary
Daniels and received preliminary re-
ports assembled by the navy depart
ment on the submarine activities.
The general trend OF these reports
was to the effect that, so far as had
been determined, the rules of inter-
national law had been complied with
by Germany. 1t was made clear,
however, that these reports were of
a preliminary character, and were
not conclusive. Secretary Daniels
was instructed to keep the president
fully informed

WISDOM IN LAWS OF MOSES
Scientists Today Recognize Value OF
Regulations Made for the Wei
fare Of tho People.

The sanitary laws of Moses were
not only on line with modern rules
Of hygiene, but, In some cases, In adj
vance Of them, according to a contem-
porary. The Jew, a thousand or two
years before Christ, settling In q semi
tropical country, was forbidden to eat
pork or shellflsh, and milk was de-
scribed as a source OF contagion. The
Talmud prescribes a method of slaugh-
tering animals that today is acknowl-
edged by our market men to be the
most sanitary.
Nearly four thousand years before
Koch gave to the world his researches
in bacteriology, the Mosaic law point
ed out the danger to man from tuber-
culosis in cattle, but did not forbid
infected poultry as food. 1t was only
few years ago that German special
lists discovered that fowl tuberculosis
was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial Of the dead
outside all cities. These hints the
gentle world did not fully accept until
century or two ago.
Moses not only prescribed fasting at
certain periods OF the year, but COM
manded whole families to go into
camps In the summer. where, for a
time, they could live closer to nature.
Many of the laws of Moses were moth
Ing else than hygienic prescriptions
for the health of both mind and body.
