The Norwegian steam CT Hecle is believed to have been sunk The Dci fam Iasier -laraeiie was sunk by gunfre.
 On the battle fronts of Europe the inactivity of the past few days con tnues. The greatest activity seem insly has taken place on the western front: There. however. only patrol en. eagements and accommodating eXpedi- tions have occupied the troops.

 Against this new proof God is the special ally of Germany would probably be impious for Britain to that God the worlds bad in order punish Germany And yet, why not? Germanys crops have been as poor as those of her enemies And she needed than they.
 Dr. Roesicke gees still further however, in claiming divine favor for his country Since God blessed Ger many by running Engand's crops Germanys bound en duty keep England from lodging the punishment by importing food.

Bethlehem's Bid OF Shells for the United States Navy

To the Americqn People:
 The Secretary of the Navy has awarded contracts amounting to over S3.00O,0 to a British bidder for l4 and l6-inch projectiles for the Navy because of very much lower prices offered by the English bidders.
 We know nothing of the basis upon which the British bids were made, but the pub lie is entitled to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid foT this work.
 Two years ago we tonk contracts to make 4, 200 l4-inch shells at price of sl l.5i5, 5,O00. Up to now not a single shell has been ac- cepicd by the Government, ai- though we have expended. in wages, materials. etc. on these or,iers S522 .88I. and we have not received a SINGLE DOLLAR on these contracts.
 In addition. g literal interpretation of
 the contract might make US hsbie ior

Mans Best Friends.

A recent issue of the Canadian For
estry Journal published by the Cana
dian Forestry association, contains an
interesting article on the damage
wrought by insects and the increasing
and successful warfare carried on
against insects by birds, certain ami
mails and reptiles.
1T has been estimated" says the
Journal "by those who give this Ques-
ton study and thought leading into
actual statistics that, were there no
friends allied by nature, in the great
struggle between man and his enemy
insects. that In three years there would
be no life left on the earth. yegeta-
ton would disappear first, and animal
life would accompany and follow It.

USES FOR FAMILY UMBRELLA
Mind of Woman Devises Two Ways in

Two novel uses for an umbrella are
told of in a recent issue of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine The mind of WON
an devised them both.
Picnickers desiring to go In bathing
are often handicapped by the lack OF
convenient places to change clothes. An
umbrella and some paper muslin pro-
vides n light portable tent that is prac-
teal and inexpensive for such uses.
Cut the dark paper muslin Into as
many nine-foot lengths as there are
sections of the umbrella. Sew these
strips together. At each seam tie a
string about a yard long and n stout
cord IL feet long to the handle to hold
UP the tent For use open the UNI
brella. invert It and to each rib tie one
end Of the cord TO the handle of the
umbrella and suspend 1t from a tree
or other support, weighing or tying
down the other end.
A clothes dryer that can he easily
carried will appeal to travellers and
persons living In small quarters. An
umbrella, four yards of strong wrap
ping Irvine and several small brass
rings are required. Knot the rings
into the twine at intervals. measuring
the distance between the rib points Of
