OF RUN0
BOMBED IN Vain
BY AER0PLANEs

WASHINGTON, D. c. June 20
"The Island of Runo, which, according
to reports emanating from Berlin, has
been bombed by German airplanes, is
fragment of land less than ten miles
ii area, set in the middle of the Bay
of Riga, about 20 miles from the city
of Riga to the southeast, and an equal
distance from Windau, which lies to
the southwest" says war geography
bulletin issued today by the National
Geographic society from its Washing
ton headquarters.
"Runo was not a naval or military
base before the outbreak of the war
II is a mere f1eck of land, three and
half miles long and scarcely more
than two miles wide, rising at its ex-
IRENE elevation to height of 10C
feet above the sea. On one end is q
tiny forest of coniferous trees; the
other end is bare and rocky. The vii
lage, which boasts population of 300
pure FLOODED Swedes, nestles in the
middle of the island, with the little
wooded church of Mary MagdaIen
built more than 275 years ago, as the
center of interest.
During the month of June in peace
times an occasional excursion steamer
visits the island of Runo, but at other
seasons of the year the tourist in
search of such out-of-the-way cor
ners of the earth has to rely upon a
sail boat to reach this spot the trip
from Riga taking about IL hours. And
guide books caution the visitor to car
ry his own provisions, including cof-
fee tea and sugar, for he will find NO
hotel Or inn accommodations on the
island, although he may secure a
nights shelter in the house of the pas
tor of the village church.
"The Swedes of the island exc out a
simple subsistence by sealing and
fishing, but their catches are so re-
stricted that they have forbidden all
strangers to share in the fisheries,
either as a pastime or as an occupa-
ton.
"The island occupies position OF
strategic Importance with respect tc
Riga, commanding the approach to that
seaport.
Together with several other is
lands, embracing an area of 110C
square miles, at the entrance to the
Gulf of Riga, Runo belongs to the
Russian Baltic province of Livonia
which lies to the east, but it is nearer
to the mainland of the province OF
Courland, whose shores are less than
rs miles to the southwest"

TRAINING NEGRO TROOPS
Complete Unit of Negroes at Each
CantOnment.

Washington, Oct. with plenty
of room available at the national can
tonments, due to the large number
of men to be withdrawn to fill up
the National Guard and other branch
es, the War Department has again
modified it's plans for training negro
trops of the national army forces.
1t is now the purpose, Secretary Ba-
kcr said today, to train a complete
unit of negroes at each Of the six
teen environments instead of training
them only at cantonmcnts to which a
considerable number report. The size
of the unit will depend upon the
number of negro drafted men from
the divisional area which supplies
each cantonment, but where there is
large surplus men will be sent to
posts with smaller numbers for con-
solidation with the training units
there.
The first of the drafted negroes
will be mobilized under the call of
October 3. The number to be taken
from each division will not be uni
form and the allotment has not been
announced.

upon which they have based their
prices.
DR.. Garfield selected 1915 as a nor
NAL year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises in
prices did not begin until 1916. The
additional 80 per cent is allowed to
cover the increase in the retailers
cost of doing business, which has in
creased substantially during the past
two years.
Revision of Prices.
In other orders tonight the fuel
administrator made the first revis-
ions of his recently fixed prices of
coal at the mine. One makes a
change on anthracite pea coal in the
Pennsylvania field as follows:
White Ash $3.40 instead of Sd; Red
Ash $3.50 instead of $4.10; Lykcns
Valley $3.75 instead of $4.35.
Another order reviscs upward the
mine prices in certain bituminous dis
tricts in which unusual conditions ex-
ist, making the cost of production
greater than in the principal bitumi-
nous fields.
The new price for run of mine coal
in those districts include:
Run of Mine Coal.
Thick vein seams at Hartford, Mid
land, Hackctt, Greenwood and De-
ming, Ark, $3.05; Lefore and Has

LOST IN THE SWAMP
DR.. c. ]. Lennon Spends the Night
in Wateree River Swamp.

Last night was probably the most
uncomfortable night that DR.. c.. j.
Lennon ever spent, as the greater
part of the time he was wandering
around in deep swamp of Wateree
river in the vicinity of Gamers
Ferry. Late in the night he stumbled
upon a fisherman's shack near the
river bank where he remained until
daylight. With daylight to help him
he was able to make his way out of
the swamp, being guided also by the
sound of passing train on the
Southern Railway. About the time
he emerged from the swamp he met
DR.. Burgess and other friends who
had spent the greater part of the
night searching for him.
DR.. Lennon and several others
went into the swamp on the Gar
ner's Ferry road yesterday afternoon
to hunt squirrels. After leaving the
road the party separated and DR..
Lennon mistaking another road that
led to the river for the one by which
he had entered the swamp wandered
a long way before he realized that
he was lost. Night came on and he
wandered around until he found the
shack near the river where he spent
the remainder of the night.-Sumter
