orative of the life and services OF mem

pressed in addsess. music and decora-
tive effects the love of those who sur
vive.
Robert Anderson of Jacksonville de-
livered the eulogy, paying high tribute
to the qualities of the four deceased
members.
Speaking first of Alfred Moog,he said
I'm him We find patriotism, civic pride
and domestic love. These are the quail
tiles that go to make up good citizen.
To say that an American is good citi-
zen is the alpha and omega OF eu1ogy.
OF Louis, E.. Jones. he said: AL
though fearless as a lion-in no sense
a coward,-his heart was as big and
strong as his body. In his conduct he
was always considerate of his fellows.
By his willingness and readiness at all
times to respond to the call Of duty his
superiors placed the utmost reliance in
him. BY his honest and fair dealings.

There is only one word in our Ian

SUBMARINE SUNK
BY DIRIGIBLE IN
THRILLING BATTLE

London, Dec. Lieut.. L. Walmsley
British airman furnishes this story
backed up by official records, one OF
the most thrilling battles of the war
fight in which a ''blimp'' sent a SUBJ
marine to the bottom of the sea:
The ''blimp' is type of observation
balloon.
Three British f1iers out on a long
reconnaissance, ran into a dense fog.
For nearly an hour the ''blimp" stag
gered along almost blindly when sud
denly the mist lifted, revealing, a mile
away, German submarine with It's
coming tower and decks well out of
water.
The pilot opened up" and steered
for the German.
AS the 'blimp' drew near the Boches
opened fire. In spite of the bursting
shells from below. the "blimp' kept on
going until the observer could work
with his Lewis.
With few bursts the submarine gun
crew was put out. Then, without both
ering about these wounded on deck, the
other Germans scampered below and
started to submerge in haste.
Meanwhile the wireless operator on
the "blimp'' was calling for parro1 ves-
sels, but none appeared. There was
only one thing to do. Clilnl-.ag to
about 1900 feet from where the U-boat,
now submerged, could be seen plainly,
the pilot let go one of his heavy bombs
Relieved of a heavy weight, the
''bIi:np' shot upward The three men
hanging over the edge watched the
bomb go "pfiunk" into the water about
200 feet ahead of the sub. A moment
later a flash Of lightning seemed to rip
the sea.
1t seemed ages before the geyser shot
INTO the air with the gaping hull of the
J-boat in the center of the disturbance.

Booze Goes at Midnight But the
Taste Will Linger Over
New Years Eve.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 30.-While John
Barleycorn, Wilhelm Malt, Francois
Vinum and others officially pass over
the Montana horizon at midnight to-
night. it is generally believed that
officials will not be too harsh with
New Years eve celebrations.
The law had been understood to &C
into force at midnight tomorrow
night, but later and recent perusa
shows that it reads that it shall be
in force ION and after Dec. 81. 1913
Attorney General S. c. Ford has in
terpreted this to mean that it enters
into effect at midnight tonight
Gov. Sam ". Sewart has made 1t
known that. he means to see the sta
tute vigorously enforced, after the
first of the year, and numerous coun
ty officials have echoed his views.
On the other hand. unofficial state
ments are that the shipments of liquor
into Montana during November and
-ecember have been the heaviest in
the annals of the state.
The law, it is thought, permits the
sale of beer OF less than two per cent
alcohol. but that question is to be
tested in the courts.

ship In Putting Campaign
Over So Well.

Burleigh county has already report
ed and officially listed 100 Red Cross
memberships as a result of the recent
Christmas rollcall. Twenty-six hun
dred of these members are outside of
Bismarck. Owing to influenza and
for other good reasons some of the
country districts are slow in report
ing, and it is expected that the rural
total will be considerably swelled
when every team has been heard
from.
Unusual records were reported by
Fort Rice, Stewartsdale, Brittin, Dris-
coll, Mckenzie, Steering, Still, North
east Burleigh and Baldwin, all Of
which returned 100 per cent re-
spOnse, or very near to it. Some Of
the districts yet to complete their re-
ports are expected to do equally
well.
Much credit is given County Chair
man b. E. Jones for the efficiency
which he displayed in organizing this
successful campaign and in directing
the efforts of two or three scores of
teams. Chairman Jones devoted al
most months time to this work,
subscribing everything to the success
of the drive, and he has as his reward
the satisfaction of knowing that Bur-
leigh has established another loyalty
record.
