Norman Ross, of the Olympic club, and holder of a half dozen swim ming records, including both national and American titles, is said by his friends to be swimming at the top of his form with the end not yet in sight. They have set up the claim for him that he is the best all-round swimmer of all time, for the reason that, while former champions have gained distinction either in the short sprnts or else in the longer swims, Ross is showing his superiority in both. Not only this, but it is point ed out that his versatility is appar- ent in his ability to negotiate the breast stroke and the back stroke in competition with athletes who are specializing in these events, his re- cent mark of 51 4-5 seconds for 75 yards in the latter event being a worlds figure.

War Scare at Bridgeport.

There was considerable excitement al
Bridgeport yesterday when a report was
circulated that Germany had declared war
against the United States and that fleet
of German submarines were on their way
I'D the canal. Lock-tender Hebb closed
the gates and got musket, and swore
that they should not pass the lock there.
Charlie Kretzer drove his pigs and cattle
back into the woods along the cliffs and
Ohio cleared the path to the cave known
during the Civil War as "Toney'S Hole. u
ready TO seek protection there. viii
Kuode began to transport his movable
property over TO Shepherdstown and W as
for blowing up the bridge with dynamite
when the submarines should be sighted,
but Bridgekeeper Sam Pencil would moi
consent 10 this, and promised TO arrest
the Germans if they attempted to set foot
on Virginia soil. While the excitement
was at its height some one remembered
the fact that there was no water in the
canal and that therefore the submarines
could not come past Washington. Rich
ard Spohn further spoiled the sensation
by telephoning to Baltimore and ascer-
tanning that Germany hadn't declared
| war after all.
