Washington.-When the break with
Germany came two of the most elabo-
rate and intricate mine fields that
nation ever devised for the safeguard
ing of a city's water gates were plan
ned by the coast artillery and the
corps of engineers to protect the en-
frances to the waters Immediately

was completed in all save the last de-
tail. the actual laying of the mines. and
these were stored by hundreds at Fort
Totten and Sandy Hook, ready for the
message from the war department
which would send the mine layers out
with their gingerly handled burdens.
The aggressiveness and determina-
ton with which an attack can be deliv-
cred are a lesson of the European war
which has not been lost upon the mill

dons at San Diego, Arlington and
Darien panama canal zone). A fourth
is under construction at Manila.
The three 600 foot aerial towers form
a triangle. They contain 100000
pounds of fabricated steel and are the
largest radio towers in the world.
They are $50 feet in width at the base
and eight feet at the apex. They are
placed LOO feet apart Huge porce-

New York.-New York gangsters may

ton, announced that he had been in
consultation with Major General Leon

Of recruiting a regiment Of workhouse

Of New York. In the fall Of 1914, when
the German army was almost at the

distinguished itself for desperate fight
ing that it won the sobriquet of the
blue devils. The commissioner Of cor
rection believes that the same reckless
individuality and excess Of physical ex-
uberance which enter into the person

others from leading free and easy

it was finally decided to place him in a

being put into the barrel he said:
To Nesquehoning I bid adieu,
And I'll never come back again to see you.
He reached the bottom Of the hill
more dead than alive and after extri-
eating himself made a dash for the

ment reached the ears Of many other
