ghost is terrifying the colored people
OF Lynchburg. Efforts OF white resi-
dents. together with those Of the police
to reassure tho colorcd people have thus
far been in vain. The ghost is described
as great, tall, broad black man, with
;ln Immense tail and an armorcd head.
The colorcd people believe so firmly in
it's existence that they are staying in
doors at night. Indeed, the thing has
gotten to the point where hOuSc~i ives
are suffering because negro women in
service in many homes insist on going
TO their homes before niEhtfall.
The ghost is alleged to have gone
into one negro home without the neces-
sity Of opening IL locked door. The f;G,n-
lily fled from the supper table and when
the ghost had disposed OF the meal, IL,
too, disappeared. Another time. accord

BRISTOL. VA. December 2.-From
American boys in the service OF the
army and navy there como back from
the different fronts bit OF interesting
Information now and then. and some
OF which may prove Of fnr-rcachiut,
significance.
Lieutenant William Richardson. of
the United states Navy. for instance.
relates most interesting condition in
his latest communication to his father
from European waters.
Lieutenant Richardson. who came
prominently into the limelight In con
EcCtion with the seizure of Vera Cruz.
now writes his father that. while lie
r"rtant details, he was. however.
deeply impressed with the change in
conditions since the Americans entered
TIE war zone In united effort with
the British ana French to combat with
cu"my C-boats. Where. he states.
originally the crew OF his ship WAS
allie to sight from Nifty to sixty enemy
t-b"ats within given time, the mum
h,r for the same length OF time had
now bcHn reduced to from three "a
five visible enemy undcrocean craft.
This Information seems to confirm
the claims OF Lord George and others
in authority in Britain tina; enemy
U-bOals are being accounted for quite
effectively.
