BRAVE MEN.

1t was on the eve of battle and an
Irish regiment was to go over the
top and was being harangued by one
of its officers.
"Men," cried the officer, eye are on
the verge of battle. l will ask you
one question before we start. Will
we bring glory on the ould regiment
and fight or will we bring it to shame
and ruin?"
Without moments hesitation
came a deafening chorus.

REMARKABLE FIGHT WITH
U-BOAT.

London, July 24.-From three to
eight submarines are said to have
been concerned in the attack OF the
Justicia, according to the Daily Mail,
which says the fight began at three
O'Clock Friday afternoon and lasted
Internationally until saturday morn
ing. The ship sank about one O'Clock
in the afternoon after nine torpcdoes
had been fired.
When the liner was first struck
the torpedo boat destroyers which
accompanied her raccw to attack
the enemy and dropped many depth
charles, while patrol boats stood by
the ship and tug took her in tow.
The second and third torpedoes
were fired about five o'clock in the
afternoon. Both missed their marks,
one going ahead of the steamer and
the other aft. Two hours later another
torpedo was seen coming, but when
it got close n gunner on the Justicia
with extraordinary aim hit it clean
and exploded it.
All was quiet until eight o+clocl,
in the evening when the fifth tor
pedo was sighted. The gunners on
the Justicia placed their shots so
near it that the torpedo was de-
Elected and missed it's target.
Most of the crew by this time had
been transferred to other ships,
which he'd remained near the liner
all night.
The Justicia was we'll on her way
to port Saturday morning when to-
ward 8 o'clock the gunners again
were hard at work as the sixth and
seventh torpedoes went past. Two
hours later submarine fired the
eighth and ninth torpedoes and one
of them struck forward and the
other aft.

NEW KINDS OF TRAVEL.
(Bluefield Daily telegraph.

(BIuefield Daily Telegraph.)
A good but unsophisticated old
lady of Princeton has a son in an
army camp. A few days ago she re-
ceived letter from him saying he
was coming home on a furlough. She
carried the letter to ncighbor, and
with the tears streaming down her
cheeks she said: 81 don't know why
he could not come home on a train.
! just know he will be killed trying
to ride one of them furloughs."
Which story reminds us of another
old lady, who when informed that
her new neighbor had been crippled
in a cyclone, said: "Wcll, l don't
have any sympathy for her. A wom-
an of her age ought to nave more
sense than to try TO ride one of them
things"
