Most of the military units are in state

PLATTSBURG AGAIN CHOSEN
For Officers Training Camp to Be Start
ed on Aug. 27.

Washington, D. c., July ga com.
plete revision in the plans for locations
of the second officers training camps to
open Aug. 27 has been decided on by the
war department as result of re-
inspection of the sites previously chosen.
Under the new arrangement there will
be nine camps instead of eight, Fort Nc
Pherson, Ca, Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark,
and Fort Riley, Kans, being dropped
from the list and Plattsburg, N. Y, Fort
Smelling, MINI, and Fort Sheridan, ILL.,,
added. The Fort Myer, Va, Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ca, Fort Benjamin Harrison,
Ind, Presidio, San Francisco on Leon
Springs, Tex designations remain un-
changed but reassignment of state per-
sonnel among the various camps has been
ordered. .......
"Some of the locations originally or
dered are Objectionable for various rea-
sons" said report on the subject trans
mitted TO Secretary Baker by Adit. Gen.
Mccain. Fort Mcpherson is already
overcrowded and has poor facilities for
training camp work. Fort Logan II.
Roots is decidedly unsuitable and will
be rendered more so in view of the large
cantonment to be constructed at that
place. Fort Riley, Kan, is objection
able because of the scattering of the
buildings devoted to the training camp;
furthermore, it is TO become large can
tonment
The elimination of these three points
as desirable training camp locations ne
cessitstes change in the original plan.
The plan recommended above is better
suited to existing structures. No new
construction is required. Men in train
ing camps viii be much less crowded than
at present. The more northern points
may experience unfavorable weather in
but this is more than Offset |
by the more favorable conditions that
will exist during August, September and |
October
The assignment Of state quotas under
the new plan includes:
At Plsttsburg-Msine. New Hampshire.

Patrick Trembley Fell After
Blast at E. L. Smith
Co.'s Property
MAY HAVE BEEN HIT
BY A FL NC ROCK
He Died ir =, Minutes AL
though ! Had Asked
II, Sit Up

Patrick Trembley, quarry worker
employed by the E. L. Smith Co., lost
his life at Websterville Saturday after
noon in the Miles quarry, SO called, the
end following 20 minutes after an injury
which he sustained when shetering him
self under a cliff from a blast. Just
how the man met his death is uncertain,
although it is believed that flying frag-
ment of granite so stunned him as to
precipitate his body over the edge of the
cliff to the bottom of the quarry hole, q
distance of eight or ten feet. He was
alive when other quarrymen reached his
side, but Dr. G. L. T. Hayes, who made
a hurry trip from this city to Webster
vile and reached the man before he died,
said that his neck had been broken in
the fall.
The accident occurred around o'clock
and within few minutes of the time
when the whistle was to have sounded.
A blast had been prepared, and Trem-
bley, who had been operating steam
drill, sought shelter when the signal was
given. 1t is stated that fully FIVE min
utes were allowed for the danger zone
to be cleared, and Trembley, an old and
experienced hand, lodged under an over
hanging cliff. There, on the shelf formed
by the cliff, he is believed to have been
hit on the head by a small stone from
the blast. Probably the blow was suifi-
cient to stun him, and it lis thought that
he fell from the shelf to a pile of stones
below. Donald Smith of the company
was in the Barre Office when the quarry
started to summon help.
He sent in the call for DIR. Hayes, and
the latter was followed to Websterville
by Mr.. Smith and his son.
When they arrived Trembley had been
removed to the yard Apparently he
had regained consciousness, for he asked
the men about him to let him sit up.
DR.. Hayes examination disclosed the
of the spinal column, and il
was discovered that the blow on the head
was not of sufficient force to cause his
ieath. Ten minutes after his removal
20 the yard, Trembley was dead. The
body was taken to the undertaking
-ooms of M. j. Whitcomb in East Barre.
The deceased was around So years old
ind had been an employe of the Smith
company for more than 81 years. He
vas regarded as a safe and efficient

AIR RAIDER DRIVEN
AWAY AFTER ATTACK
ON COAST TOWNS
Defenders of London Put UP Such q
Sharp Battle That Germans Turned
About and Retreated After Inflict-
ing Casualties on Civilians.

London, July 23.--Another daylight
raid, carried out over the east coast o.
England yesterday morning, resulted il
the repulse of about twenty German air
planes after they had dropped number
of bombs over Felixtown and Harwich
killing eleven persons and injuring 20
An alarm was sounded in London, but
before the Germans could reach any
point near the city they were attacked
heavily by defending squadrons of air
craft, which speedily caused them to
change their minds and beat hasty re-
treat. So far as has been reported, none
of the Germans were brought down.
The following account of the raid was
issued:
"A squadron of enemy airplanes-from
Is to 2l-approached Felixstown and
Harwich at o'clock this morning. Some
bombs were dropped, but the heavy fire
from the anti-aircraft caused the enc
my's formation to split up, part return
ing overseas and part proceeding south,
down the Essex coast. The latter party
was heavily engaged by gun fire all down
tHc i1coSA Soa5b anu HHhiiN pitSCCAcu
homeward without dropping more bombs.
The raiders were pursued out to sea
and heavily engaged by our airplanes,
but the visibility was low and the diff
culties of observation were very great.
"The casualties at Felixtowe and Har-
wich so far are IL killed and 26 in
jured.'
The morning broke bright and sunny,
but a thick haze soon appeared. At
about s o'clock the enemy machines
were heard, and We're seen flying high
and fast toward the coast. They received
a hot reception from the improved de.
fenses, in the shapt of anti-aircraft gun
fire, and were hardly wei. over the coast
before their formation was broken up.
They dropped bombs hastily before re-
treating.
There is little doubt an attempt was
made to reach London. In giving notice
that warning signals would be fired the
authorities announced that such warn
ings would not be given until it appeared
from information received from military
authorities that an attack on London
was intended.
