fired LAST Shell
BEFORE ESURRENDER
Compana Put Up Stiff Fight Against
German Submarine.

The Navy Department admitted yes
tsrday that the American tank steam
ship Campana was sunk by German
submarine because her naval guard
had not been supplied with sufficient
ammunition.
Secretary Daniels confirmed. in gen.
eral. the statements made by ]. X.
Bruce, third mate of the vessel, on
his arrival last night at an Atlantic
port The Campana fought of the
submarine for four hours and sur
rendered only when her last shell was
gone. Five Of the naval gun crew
and the vessels skipper. Capt. Oliver,
we're taken prisoners aboard the sub
marine after the surrender. The other
officers, gunners and crew, were set
loose in small boats aod later were
picked up.
Secretary Daniels, in explanation of
the affair. said:
'J have no official reports on the
matter, but 1 have enough creditable
information to convince me that the
Campana did not have enough am
munition.
THE Bureau Of Operations had
figured on the problem and had con-
cluded that $50 rounds would be suf-
icient for each voyage. Heretofore
this has proved correct in every case.
In the Campana's loss the fault
was as much in her lack of speed
as in her lack of ammunition. She
had two guns mounted, each with a
range Of $500 yards-approximately five
miles.
she was able to make only ten
knots; the submarine. running on the
surface, made twelve knots and was
able to outmaneuver the Campana-"
We are doubling the number OF
rounds OF ammunition on all ships
now leaving port" said the Secretary.
The State Department, meanwhile,
has received no answer to its inquiry
to Berlin concerning the six prisoners
and the treatment to be accorded to
them.

Dr. Maurice Francis Egan, Ameri- can minister to Denmark, underwent an operation in Copenhagen which in- volved the removal of one kidney, and his condition was reported as serious. Dr. Egan was known to stu dents and scholars as a poet, critic, novelist historian, etc., before his ap- pointment as minister to Denmark in 1907 and will rank as one of the most accomplished of American diplomats. He was born in 1852 and studied at La Sale college and Georgetown and Notre Dame universities. He was professor of English literature at Notre Dame from 1888 to $1895 and professor of English language and lit, erature at the Catholic University of America from 1895 to 1907 The list of books he wrote is very long one.

 Working on Directory.
 Representatives of the Price, Lee & Adkins company of New Haven, pub fishers of the city and town direc- tories, began their fall canvass of this place today. They are preparing to issue the 1917 Plainville directory, which will probably be off the press early next year. The representatives will canvass the town to ascertain the number of address changes, as well as the new residents and the number of old residents who have left the place. They secure their data, which they try to make as accurate as possible, both by personal canvass and by con- su1tation with public people such as the postmaster and others.
 Feel Shortage of Help.
 The shortage of help, caused by the war and the consequent draft and voluntary enlistments. to say nothing of the many men who have been called by higher wages to work in the many large munitions plants around the east, is being felt by Plainville manufacturing concerns. At the Trumbull Electric company an advertising campaign is bHing waged to secure female employees for light work and at other places employers are seeking women to take such places as they are capable of filling. Work on the new factory addition of the Trumbull Electric Is already un- derway and as soon as it is completed another call will undoubtedly have to be made for workers.

 Usher Goes to Sea.
 James Usher, son of Town Clerk Usher, enlisted in the naval reserves and who completed his preliminary training at the Yale Boathouse in New Haven several weeks ago, is now somewhere at sea headed for an un- known destination but presumably for the war zone waters, according to ad- vices received by friends of the young man both in New Britain and in Plainville, MT. Usher enlisted in the naval reserves as a boatswain's mate but has changed his rating to gun ner's mate. He has already seen some service as a member of the coast patrol, having been patrolling the, Atlantic seaboard as far as Hali- fax for several weeks.

CROPS GREATLY DAMAGED
Traffic Is Held Up By Forming of Small Lake Under the Railroad Bridge-Two Mere Young Men of Town Receive Orders to Report for Service.

One of the worst thunder storms in years visited this place last evening. Starting in the neighborhood of Mock 1t ragged necessarily until the hour of 10 when it abated. AS the result of the great downfall of rain and the heavy wind which accom- panied it, acres and acres of crops were materially damaged and some road beds were practically washed away. Traffic between Berlin street and New Britain by the Pennington road was held up from o'clock last evening until the early hours of the morning. No great damage was done by the terrific lightning which accom- panied the thunder although the house of William Brown in East Ber- lin was almost torn from its founda- ton. -
 After dark threatening clouds had 1oTered in the vicinity for the greater part of the early evening and the hu- midity had become - great that it was almost intolerable, the storm broke. Like a thunderbolt from the sky the rain began to pour down in torrents. It was about o'clock at
 
 waiting on the siding near Kingo's s store. for the other car coming from New Britain.
 After waiting in the neighborhood of a half an hour, the motorman on the New Britain bound car got in touch with the center at New Brit ain. He was told by the despatcher to come and not wait for the other car. Before obeying orders he de- ci4ed to determine the depth of the water under the bridge. It is fortu- nate that he did, for the water had formed to a depth of about three feet. 'Hastening back to the telephone he informed the despatcher that 1t was impossible to pass beyond the bridge. Because of the heavy downpour brooks had formed everywhere and all seemed to have the same destina- tBn. What was once road in under the bridge became veritable lake
 About g o'clock every light in the village of Kensington went out and those in Berlin suffered a like fate. The trolley bound for Berlin encoun- tered trouble with their power and every fuse on the car was burned out Consequently 1t did not reach the Kill by House until exactly 11:30.
 .For stormy night there was an se1sual amount of traffic between New Britain and Meriden and as ii was impossible to continue from Der tour by the safest and shortest route was the general order.
