SAYS BERLIN IS FORTIFIED
Vast Defense Work Has Been Built,
According to Statement Made
by Swede.

Monster guns hidden In pits 40 and
80 feet deep, and 125 to 100 feet apart,
form a labyrinth of defenses around
Berlin, according to John Erickson, a
native of Sweden. For five years, be-
ginning with 1907, Erickson says he
worked on the outer defenses Of Ber-
lin, and prior to that time worked for
the Motla gun works of Sweden, turn
ing out heavy ordnance for Germany.
Guns surrounding Berlin, according
to Erickson range from % TO AZ
Inches In diameter. Many are Of the
larger type. Some are over 200 feet
long. Their foundation Is set in seven
feet Of solid granite, sunk In the bot
torn of the pits in which the guns are
hidden, surrounding the city. Two
circles of these guns surround Ber-
lin. One Is seven miles from the city's
outslirts--the other is II. A screen
roof Is now laid over these guns. A
layer Of two feet Of dirt covers the
top. Grass, trees and even the sea-
sons crops are planted over them.
Electricity controls the huge guns,
Ericsson says. When the guns are
needed the roof may easily be thrown
off and the guns hoisted to position.

Conan DOYLE as a Doctor.

Asked recently why he gave up the

Doyle buttoned his coat and started
off homeward. But suddenly the win

voice cried: "Doctor say, doctor 7"
He hurried back, thinking that the

the worse.

CARE FOR SOLDIERS FEET
Army Authorities Particular That
There Shall Be Little Trouble
In That Respect.

'How is Uncle Sam able to raise suf-
lfcIent funds to shoe his children7"
we might ask just now, when the
prices of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was, however. an
swered at recent meeting in Allan
tic City Of the American Leather Chem
lists association. which was also at
tended by several members of the
American Chemical society. Their dis
cussion on this subject proved most
ennclusively that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail
ity leather in their army shoes and
that it Is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
In their discussion-that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leath-
or from time to time 10 order to keep
1t waterproof.
1t was most gratifying to learn that
IN every first-aid kit the soldier carries
tube Of paste to apply to the feet In
order to prevent trench sores. which
were so common in the early days Of
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water In the trenches, but
If the feet are promptly protected by
an inert grease no such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam Is deal
ing with the question of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint of com
fort and protection, as well as from his
own standpoint of the wearing quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
aud 1t Is doing everything to help to
keep them so.

Many years ago, when Connie Mack
was the Milwaukee catcher and man
uger, the club opened the season with
several sore-arm veteran pitchers.
There was one youngster with the club
who did not complain of this trouble.
SO they sent him to the slab. Mllwau-
iSee was beaten something like 1G to A.
The kid pitcher was downcast. "The
umpire didn't give me any the best
OF It," he said by way OF an allbi.
mo" replied Joe Cantlllon who had
overheard the remark; "nelther did the
opposing batters give you any the best
OF It."
The kid walked Off In o huff. Con-
nile Mack turned to Cantlllon. "rll
say this for the boy" he said, 'rve
worked out with him every morning
for the last two weeks, and he looked
mighty godd."
Cantllon pulled a schedule out of
his pocket and glanced over II rapid.

CARRY FOOD TO TRENCHES
French Employ Canine courers to
Take Supplies TO the Men in
Most Exposed Positions.

Trench warfare certainly interferes
with the fighters meals. After cap
turing the enemy's position in partic-
uIar, Is the fighter at a loss to know
how he will get his regular rations !;
for no sooner does the enemy find
himself dispossessed of his original
trenches than he opens up with an in
tense barrage fire designed to prevent
ammunition and food from reaching
the new occupants.
The French army believes 1t has
solved the problem Of carrying food to
men In isolated trenches, In its lunch
dogs, says the Scientific American.
Carrying light lunches and coffee, and
even cartridges for the men IN the first
line trenches when the combat is hot
aud protrncted these splendid trained
dogs are more certain to get through
barrages than men. Each dog Is
equipped with sort Of double bag
strapped tight over Its body, and pro-
vlded with numerous pockets for food,
coffee cans, ammunition and other sup
plies.
II is at the military dog-tralnlng
grounds at Parts that dogs are pre-
pared for this service. Not only are
these four-legged couriers taught to
avoid the enemy and beware Of tricks,
but also to crawl on their stomaehs In
order to escape flying bullets. Special
masks are provided for these dogs
when they must pass through pols-
on gas area.

BRAZIL LOOKING TO FUTURE
Important Industries of the Country
Are to Be Encouraged BY the
Government.

The secretary of agriculture Of Bra
I'll recently presented a lengthy me-
mortal to the president of the republic
explaining the necessity Of enc0urag-
ing the coal and steel Industries, which
has resulted ia the publication of two
DEGREES Of the federal government.
The secretary's report states that
until there are at least ten coal mines
in active operation In the country the
effect Of this industry will not be felt
ia the conservation OF the wood sup
ply. which Is now being rapidly con-
sumed to meet the needs of the rail-
ways and of domestic Industries. The
steel industry is SO largely dependent
upon suitable fuel that, IN the secre-
tary's opinion. 1t should also receive
the attention of the Brazilian govern
ment. The director of the geological
survey Of the Brazilian government
states that by process of washing
metallurgical coke may be obtained
from Brazilian coal. and that this is
already being accomplished in the
state Of Santa Catharina.
The secretary points out that the
present lack Of sufficient domestic coal
of suitable quality should not interfere
with the establishment of a steel in
dustry which could temporarily use
wood, and that for more than 800 years
Sweden was Obliged to depend upon
this kind of fuel. He also says that in
the United States sope 100000 tons Of
pig iron are produced annually by the
use of charcoal as a fuel.-Commerce

MeetinG AT EmmitSbur8.

Plans have been made for holding Il
meeting in the interest of livestock at
the Schoolhouse in Emmitsburg, Monday
evening, July %. The purpose of the
meeting, as above stated, is to increase
the number of livestock in the northern
part of the County through better meth
ods of feeding, housing and breeding.
Every farmer and owning livestock and
who live within driving distance of EN-
mitsburg should not fail to be present.
The meeting will be addressed by rep
resentatives of the Maryland State Col
lege, the U. S. Department of Agricult-
ure, Bureau of Animal Industry, and
others. There is every reason to feel
that more sheep, as well as better dairy
cows, more beef animals, and more hogs
ought to be grown in the northern part
of the county. If it were not profitable
enterprise in which to engage the mat
ter would not be considered by the CO.
operative forces.
We again urge all to be present to hear
the matter discussed as to bow we can
increase the livestock interests You are
entitled to this information and it will be
presented by some of the best talent
there is to be had. The meeting will be
under the direction of County Agent, p.

BugS Eat EN- Green.

Your cucumber and melon bugs do not
wait for the garden products to get ripe,
but like the boy and the apples, takes
'em green, says todays bulletin from the
National War Garden Commission. Three
dark stripes or twelve dark spots-watch
out for beetles like this. They attack
singly or in mass formation, 80 the coun-
ter attack must be arranged accordingly.
Attack with arsenate of lead and spray
every week or ten days during the sea-
son. Use this poison with Bordeaux and
thus control the disease also. These in
sects do not like tainted food, 80 just stir
tablespoon of turpentine into quart
of lime and sprinkle this over the plants
when they are wet with dew. Any read
of this paper can have a free garden
manual by writing to the Commission in
Washington, sending 2-cent stamp for
postage.
There are also some little dark colored
beetles which seem to have nothing to do
but eat and jump. These are flea beetles
and might be called the "enemy aero
plane observers" in the melon patch.
They jump away as the gardener ap-
proaches. Cheese cloth protectors will
keep all of these beetles and the squash
bugs from the plants.
