U-BOATS AS HANGARS,
Is THE LATEST RUMOR

London. Feb. 20.-Lowe-
stoft. the objective Of the lat
est German air raid, is slight
Iy more than one hundred
miles from Zebrugge, the
nearest point susceptible Of
serving a. a hostile aviation
base. 1t is recalled here that
German newspaper recently
described a new arrangement
whereby a submarine was
combined with an seroplane,
the submarine acting as a
submersible hangar, from
which a small seaplane could
operate after being conveyed
within suitable distance of its
objective.

HUGE SEAPLANES
RAID ENGLAND
Bombs Dropped on Low
estOft and Walmer-
Three Killed.
Rs Cable 70 The Tribune

London, Feb. 20.-Four huge sea-
planes to-day made raid over the east
and southeast coasts of England, ac-
cording 10 ar official announcement
made this evening. The total casual
ties are given as two men and one boy
killed and one marine wounded. Con-
siderable material damage was done.
The enemy craft not only climbed
with great speed, but travelled at an
enormous speed, two most unusual
features with the seaplanes. This
rather suggests that they were ma
chimes Of an entirely new type.
There are three reasons for this sur
mise. the first the matter Of speed
already mentioned, the second the
fact that never before has a sea-
plane flown so great a distance as
that from Zebrugge to Lowestoft
Slightly more than 100 miles) and the
third the fact that this long distance
was accomplished across sea, which
means that two or more engines would
be required, owing 20 the risk OF a
single engine falling.
Added TO this there have been per-
sistent rumors during the last few
months that the enemy has been busily
engaged in building a new and power
fully engined seaplane. To-day's raid
goss far to prove that fact.
Vanished and Reappeared.
The official communication says:
-Four German sesplanes made a raid
over the east and southeast coasts at
room to-day.
THE first raiders, two biplanes, ap-
peared over Lowestoft at 1866 a. m.
and circled over the south side of the
town for five minutes and dropped
bombs. In about five minutes they rose
to a great height and seemingly van
ished. At 11:10 a. m. the two sea-
planes were again over the town, and
then vanished eastward again.
Altogether seventeen small high ex-
plosive bombs were dropped. There
we're no casualties. Considerable dam
age was caused 10 the outbuildings of
restaurant and to two dwelling
houses. Two naval seaplanes went up
at ll.O5 a. m. and pursued the raiders,
but without result.
Bombs Dropped in Sea.
Meanwhile two other German sea-
planes we're making for the kentish
coast. The first passed over the Kent
ISL Knock light vessel, dropping bombs
H. that vicinity at ll:2o a. m. The last
raider made straight for Wslmer,
reaching that town at ll:27 a. m. Fly
ing at less than $500 feet. il dropped
six bombs and turned sharply 10 the
eGsr.
1.-TWO OF the bombs that fell de-
stroyed roofs and broke windows in
tho neighborhood. One Of them fell
close TO a church, blowing out the win
dcws as the congregation was singing
the 'Te Deum.' A third bomb fell on a
roadway running along the beach, kill
ing one civilian and injuring one ma
rlne.
"The total casualties we're two men
and one boy killed and one marine
wounded.
1.-TWO OF our aeroplsnes. which went
up from Dover, pursued the raider. but
apparently could not overtake him."
Lowestoft Is the most easterly point
o. Great Britain. II is about ninety
miles north of Walmer in Kent

Soul of the Country Newspaper

Our papers, our little country papers
seem drab and miserably provincial to
strangers; yet we who read them read
in their lines the sweet, intimate story
of life. And all these touches of nature
make us wondrous kind. 1t is the
country newspaper, bringing together
daily the threads of the towns life,
weaving them into something rich and
strange, and setting the pattern as it
weaves, directing the loom, and giving
the cloth its color by mixing the lives
of all the people in its color pot 1T is
this country newspaper that reveals US
to ourselves, that keeps our country
hearts quick and our country minds
open and our country faith strong.
When the girl at the glove counter

the news of their wedding is good for

give Il EN- self-respect. When we read of
death in that home we can mourn with
LHeUu tfIdL iuOufis when we see IfltfU
moving upward in the world, into a
firm, and out toward the country club
neighborhood, we rejoice with them
that rejoice. Therefore, men and
brethren, when you are riding through
this vale of tears upon the California
Limited, and by chance pick up the
little country newspaper with its mea-
ger telegraph service, when you see its
array of country size items; its interim
nable loca! stories; its tiresome edi-
torials on the water works, the schools,
the streets, the new depot, cleaning up,
the crops, and the city printing, don 4
throw down the contemplate little rag
with the verdict that there is nothing
in it. But know this, and know it well;
If you could take the clay from your
eyes and read the little paper &c it il
written, you would find all of Gods
beautiful sorrowing, struggling, aspir
ing world in it, and what you saw woult
make you touch the little paper will
