Tampa May Get a
Big Training Camp

Washington, Sept 13.-(Special to
the TT bune. Tampa will have a
fighting chance at least to secure an
army cantonment, according to state
ments made here today.
1t is learned or reliable information
that the war department may an
nounce almost Immediately that it
will establish several large canton
ments in different parts of the country
in which to train the new army which
signed up for the draft yesterday.
Among the places said now to be un-
der consideration for these additional
environments are Charleston, S. c.;
Brunswick, Ga, and Tampa.
Senator Trammell was among those
who took steps today in the interest
of Tampa.
The cantonments already establish
ed and which are not now full will be
recruited to their full strength, but
with this done provision must be made
for the new registrants, hence the pro-
posed additional cantonment.

SANDBAG ON TAIL KEEPS
MULE FROM BRAYING!
An Expedient Discovered That
VIII Do Away With Amy
Surgical Operations

Camp Humphreys, Sept. 14.-No
longer will it be necessary to operate
on the throat of the poor army mule,
as the French veterinarians are said
to do, to prevent the resounding hee-
haws by which the beast wakes the
echoes, arousing the Humphreys en-
gineers from tnelr. toiI-weary slu.la-
bers. After many experiments with
gas masks, feed bags and the like,
Stable Sergt. Dave Traugott of Com
paIy f, 4th regiment, who back in
Pennsylvania had great opportunities
for studying the characteristics of the
mule, has discovered a much simpler
method.
A LITTLE bag of sand attached at
night to the tail of the mule, Sergt.
Traugo.t discovered, worked the trick.
Accordingly each night the bags are
attached to the tails of all the mules
in the stable, and Traugott and his
comrades get their sleep undisturbed
by the blatant brays cf their charges.
Tbs doughty sergeant's knowledge
is the result of deep study and much
research, CLEANED from close associa-
ton with the animal. According to
Traugott, in order to bray success
fully and with wonted harmony, a
mule must stretch his neck and ele-
vate his caudal appendage to a hori-
zontal position at right angles to the
vertebrae. Denied this privilege by
the weight of small rock or sack of
sand, the beast is absolutely unable
to bray.

ponent is nowise to be compared with
the Frenchman and Englishman.
1t would be fundamentally wrong to
draw the conclusion from the rise in
German losses at the beginning of
1918, that our superiority had waned.
Still another factor explains our
higher losses. AS an infantry plane
the aerial weapon is taking part in a
considerably increased measure in
lighting the attackers on land. Entire
squadrons of battle planes, 50 ca. d
infantry flyers, accompany the storm

"HOT STUFF"
SAYS MARCH

Washington, Sept. 14.-The e-inna-
ton of the st. Mihiel salient by the
first big American offensive, General
March said today, is of extreme i'm
portance because it gives the allies a
much better base for future offensive
operations.
General March described the opera
tions at st. Mihiel as ''hot stuff" He
said General Pershing had not yet
identified any particular unit partici
pating in the advance.
General March laid particular en-
phasis on the determination of the
United States to continue to exert

MAN DROWNED
in ANC[OTE
Body of Aged Citizen Was
Found Among Sponge
Boats This Morning

This morning William Heath, a
carpenter who has resided in Tarpon
Springs for about three years, was
found drowned in the Anclote river,
near the sponge exchange.
Nobody knows how the drowning
occurred. The man was last seen up
town about 10 o'clock last night, and
is said to have been drinking, so it is
thought that in trying to step into
boat he fell into the river and was
unable to recover his footing.
The authorities have been unable so
far to learn anything of the mans
relatives. The body is still at the
river, where it was discovered, as no
inquest has yet been held, and no
burial arrangements have bean made.

GERMAN OFFICER ADMITS
INCREASING LOSSES IN AIR

New York, Sept. 14.-Steady in
crease of German airplane losses is
admitted by Captain Otto Lehman in
an article published in the Berlin
Tageblatt, reviewing the progress of
aerial warfare during the year 1917
1918. Captain Lehman attributes the
growing lCsses to two causes; Devel-
opment of the fighting airplane as a
weapon against enemy infantry, and
the enhancement of the number of
fighting machines due to the transfer
of those on the Eastern or Russian
front to the West front. !,
at will be noticed that since Janu-
airy and February, 1918, our fgurgs
for loses show a steady Increase"
