s FEET Z CANNOT
 GET INTO TIE ARMY
(From Stray Stories.)

A giant who holds the British height record for the last 120 years is at pres ent a patient in one of the London hospitals, where he has been accom- modated in a bed improvised from two ordinary bedsteads
 His name is Frederick Kempster, he is eight feet two inches in height and 25 years old, and he is suffering from giants disease, or inaction Of the nerve center which controls growth His size in boots is about 20.
 Kempster is a Canadian. He was quite a normal child, for the nerve re- sponsible for the trouble did not cease work until kempster was 12 years old when he began to shoot rapidly be- yond his brothers, and then beyond his father and mother, who are all of normal size
 Three of his brothers are serving With the Canadian contingent Kemp ster tried to join the army in England, where he had come from Canada for treatment of one of his legs, which was damaged during his work in a lumber camp. But, with a large sigh he said there was nothing doing" and finally he became the star exhibit of a show in Tottenham Court road
 In the next bed to Kempster is small boy who has never ceased to be astonished since the giant arrived. His admiration for the feat with which Kempster celebrated his entry is espe- cially great. Seeing a pile of bread and butter, which he took to be his own share, the giant ate the lot It was not till later that he learned he had eaten the whole wards breakfast allowance.

AMERICAN BOAT ! EVADEs TORPEDO
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 19.- An American passenger steamship which arrived from England today was attacked by a submarine off the Irish coast on her last outward voyage and escaped being torpedoed by a margin of inches, her officers said.
 The periscope of the U-boat was ob- served abeam of the vessel by one lookout and almost at the same mo- ment another espied the approach of a torpedo. As the missile came on it seemed, judging from it's course, the liner was doomed. Her speed, how ever saved her, the torpedo missing the rudder. the officers said, by not mcre than a foot
 The navy gunners fired almost in stantly but missed. The submarine submerged but soon the periscope re- appeared 200 yards astern, the U-boat commander evidently anxious to see whether his torpedo had found it's mark.
 The gunners fired a second shut but that also went wide.

 command the opening between the nests. Thus if the attacking troops force their way through the nests they- are met by a deluge of machine gun bullets. Still further to the rear is the first fire line, which may be some sort of a trench or merely chain of shell holes connected to for ma more or less solid front. Even reserve troops are often sheltered in the shell holes.
 Back of all this deep front the Ger mans undoubtedly have continued to employ the old system of trenches but should the advance of the allies con- tinue these in turn will unquestionably give way to the shell hole system. The Germans also have taken advantage of every far mhouse in the construc- ton of steel and concrete forts, small but almost impervious to artillery fire.
 Numbers of these strongholds are built entirely underground, the only exit being through a steel trapdoor, by means of which the Germans come out to set up machine guns. A large num- Der of these redoubts have been found to the east and north of Ypres and the territory over which the French fought to the left was mainly defended in this way. Innumerable cases happened where the advancing allies swept be- yond the Germans concealed in shell holes or in concrete dugouts. lnvari- ably the British have to put up with sniping from the rear but ultimately they account for every German who has remained behind.

DARING AUTO
 THEFT PULLED
 BY TWO CROOKS

The most daring automobile theft to be perpetrated here for a number of years occurred last night about 9 o'clock when Tom Irving. chauffeur for George Irving, who maintains a line of cars for hire, was forced at the point of a revolver to relinquish his place at the wheel and start on foot toward town. Two men hired the car.
 As several hours had elapsed be- fore Irving was able to inform police officials of the occurrence, the ban dits obtained a good start on the sheriff and his deputies who imme- diately started in pursuit.
 The two men asked Irving to take them to the Cave Creek road. When they reached this destination they asked him to take them a little farther Just a short distance past the Valley Heights school he was held up at the point of gun.

state assumed new powers not only m the appointment but even in the educa- tion of the Catholic priests. The jesu- it's were expelled from Germany in 1872. These measures, general y known as the May laws, because passed in May, 1873, 1874 and 1875, led to the creation and strengthening of the cen- trum or Catholic party. For a long period many churches were vacant in Prussia. Finally, owing to the growth of the centrum, Bismarck gave in. The May laws were rescinded in 1886 ano the religious orders, the Jesuits ex- cepted, were permitted to retur in 1887. Civil marriage, however, re mained obligatory in Prussia.
 Ever since the Kulturkampf. the cen trum has held the balance of power in Germany, acting sometimes w-th the conservatives and sometimes With the social democrats.
 In addition to these three great parties, there are minor parties, and groups which sometimes act with one party and sometimes with another the national liberals, for example. and the progressives Since the war certain members of the national liberal party were most bitter in assailing Presi dent Wilson and the United States. In the demand for ruthless submarine war they acted with the conservatives. There are also Polish, Hanoverian Danish and Alsatian members of the reichstag.
