Sell Bonds,

Somerset people subscribed for s12,-
200 worth of Liberty bonds. This is
a fine record for the coal camp on
the western border of our county, and
shows that they are alive to patriotic
duty over there.
The bond committee consisted by
Robt. Williams, Jr., Geo. McDermaid,
Evan Thomas, Sam McWilliams and
H. Muhlstein. The boy scout troupe of
Somerset did good work in parading
the camp with banners to help sell
the bonds.
Also Somerset folks have subscribed
sl27.50 for Red Cross work and are
asking that an auxiliary of the Gun

there so that more home work can

ITALIANS GET FEARFUL
WALLOP FROM HUNS

The military sensation of the week
has been the terrific drive of Won
Mackenson heading the. combined
Prussian and Austrian forces against
the Italians. They seem to have lit
orally wiped the earth with General
Cadorna's troops and to have rendered
the condition Of all Northern Italy,
serious if not desperate.
Evidently the Germans are not
whipped by long ways, and our gov
ernment's preparations for a five
years war have been undertaken with
good knowledge of the facts. Evident
ly also the Italians need a new COM
mander. With four million men under
arms in Italy, the generals let the first
Italian army under the shadow of the
Alps, be overwhelmed with a force of
seasoned enemy troops four times as
numerous. What can explain away
such an error, or what can explain the
French and English in their neglect
to furnish the coal and ammunition
which Italy has been needing SO badly.

This strip of long-desired road is
now complete to the Horse ranch.
while up from Somerset way, Peyton
Spann is working into the Anthracite
valley. The connecting link of fifteen
to seventeen miles can, it is believed,
be nicely finished in the season of 1918.
Much of the remaining ground is
mesa fiat land, something like the top
of Blue mesa. The only bad place is
the drop into Anthracite valley.
The county outfit, or what there is
left of it, is repairing abutments on
the Gunnison bridge north of town to
be ready for spring floods of 1918.

GREAT LOSS LIFE

GREAT EXPLOSION
MUNITIONS FACTORY IN THE
VICINITY OF LONDON
BLOWS UP

Thy ABsOclAteO E-FeSnsb
LONDON, Jan 20.-The following
official communication was issued
last night: THE ministry of muni
tions regrets to announce that an ex'
plosion occurred this afternoon at a
munitions factory in the neighbor-
hood of London. Il is feared that the
explosion was attended by con-
siderable loss of life and damage to
property
Between 30 and 40 bodies have
been recovered from the ruins of the
munition factory where the explosion
occurred. The factory was entirely
destroyed Three rows of small
houses in the neighborhood were al
most demolished and 100 persons seri
ously injured.
An official report says fortunately
few minutes elapsed after the fire
in the munitions plant started before
the explosion occurred Many op-
eratives we're able to escape. The
chief chemist and many workers were
killed. A fire engine was playing on
the fire when the explosion hap
pened, which destroyed the engine
and killed two firemen. The minister
of munitions states the loss will
make no practical difference in the
output of munitions.
