AN ATLANTIC PORT, October 10
The Army transport Amphion has ar

having been engaged Saturday morn
ing in a two-hour running battle with
a submarine 500 miles off the coast.
Eight men were wounded, two fatally,

shots, and the Amphion was unable
to call for help. So far as those
aboard knew, the U-boat was not serl-

The steamer finally outdistanced the
German.
All those wounded were struck by
shell fragments. After eluding the
submarine the Amphion put into an

Gen. Pershing has sent an urgent

the aeronautical bureau of the Army

A strong response from the daring

There is no limit in the number to be
accepted for training. Qualified men
are certain to get quick action.
In announcing the needs of the ex-
peditionary forces Maj. Gen. Kenly.
chief of the bureau, said there are
no rigid age limits or other limita-
tions. 1t is up to the man himself.
If he thinks he can stand the hard,
dangerous service and can pass the
rigorous physical and other tests, he
will be given a twelve-week training
course, commissioned and sent over.
There is a quick chance to kill-a
Hun or get killed" Gen. Kenly said.

Not Necessarily Counterfeit; It
Nav Have Minute Airholes.

A shiny, new quarter that rings
dead" is not necessarily counterfeit.
The chances are that it contains mi
mute air holes which have slipped past
inspection tests of the minis. The
slight imperfection, invisible to the
eye, makes coin "plunk" like lead.
The secret service recently has re-
ceived several of these quarters from
persons who believed they had dis
covered bogus coins. In each case a
good quarter was returned and the
dead money sent to the mint.

Rotten Road Work.

1t might be we'll if the county
highway commission made a per-
sonal inspection of all contract
road work done under their di-
rection before paying the con-
tractors. We do not know how
other sections of the county are
faring in the road work being
done, but if they are getting the
same deal as Winslow the $780,
900 road bond issue will be all
wasted money. The only work so
far done in this part of the county
is a three-mile strip west to the
county line, and if the contractor
was paid his contract price, which
we understand was $4,000, he
probably cleaned up $140O on the
deal. There are not ten rods of
the road built according to the
specifications, and the gravel
surfacing is conspicuous for it's
absence. If our road contractors
are grating on this work it is
time the highway commissioners
were finding it out.
