7 ARMED EvADERs TRAPPED
Caught In Cave Prepared to Fight
to The Death.

" JUG SS0sus
San Angelo, Texas, Jan. 2-Seven
grizzly bearded "slackers" armed to
the teeth and prepared to fight to
death rather than register or enlist,
are trapped in their lair among the
almost inaccessible crags of Van
horn canyon, according to information
reaching here.
Unless the seven "slackers" know
of some secret passage leading into
Mexico they will be either captured
or killed, according to the report. It
is said they have been in the cave
since June and have been supplied
with food and arms by "trusty" Mex

Texas rangers have surrounded the
retreat and are said to have cut of
Mexican assistance.
It's believed by the rangers that
these American "slackers" have been
instrumental in recent Mexican border

The Devils Resignation
The devil sat by the lake of fire
On pile of sulphur kegs;

The devil sat by the lake of fire
On pile Of sulphur kegs;
His head was bowed upon his breast,
And his tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes,
He had sent his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
"I'm down and OUT" the devil said,
And he said it with a sob,
"There are others now that have go
me beat
And want to quit my job.
He'll isn't in it any more
With the land along the Rhine,
I'm 'has-been' and piker
And therefore resign;
One ammunition maker,
With his bloody shot and shell,
Knows more about damnation
Than ell the imps in hell.
Give the job to the Kaiser,
The author Of this war,
He understands it better
A million times by far.
II hate to leave the old home,
The spot love 80 we'll,
But feel that I'm not up.to-date
In the art of running hell"

British Submarines
Score Hits ON 40
German Warships

WASHINGTON, May 8.--More than
tackled successfully by British subma-
rines.
This was disclosed by an official
British statement received here and
made public to-day by the Committee
on Public Information. The review
was the most extensive ever received
in this country of the work of the
British underwater craft, concerning
the activities of which little news has
reached America since their famous
raids in the Dardanelles and the Baltic
Sea.
Various exploits of individual craft
are recounted. In many instances the
submarine commanders have threaed
their way through dangerous minfelds
to seek out their quarry, and so sue
cessful have they been in penetrating
the defences of the German coast that
the report notes that the enemy "rare-
ly allows his above-water craft beyond
the confines of his harbors."
Most of the battles narrated in. the
review were with German destroyers
which had sailed forth presumably on
raiding expeditions, but in one in
stance submarine commander told
OF sighting four dreadnoughts of the
KAISER" class off the Danish coast,
and of discharging torpedoes at two
of them. The submarine submerged
as the torpedoes were fired, but from
the sounds of explosions which the
commander heard, he concluded that
two of the battleships were hit. The
submarine was prevented by German
destroyers from rising to the surface
to observe the effects OF it's attack.
Another narrative tells of British
submarine meeting a German U-boat
and how the pair jockeyed for posi-.
tion to launch a torpedo until the Ger.
man finally decided safety lay in
flight,
The review also deals with the
hazard of operations in the North Sea
during the winter months and tells OF
the hardship and suffering of the
crews from extreme cold. Frequentl,
periscopes and wireless sets were
not be used

Ne,u German Bloru
In Flanders May Be
Start of Big Battle

LONDON. May S.-"After a heavy
nombardment on wide front in
Flanders, the German infantry this
morning launched an attack south Of
Dickebusch Lake, which lies between
Ypres and KENNEL" says Reuters
correspondent at British headquar-
ters.
"The attack apparently was only
in divisional strength, but it may de-
velop larger proportions. The enemy
seems to have penetrated our front
line between the lake and Ridge
Wood, and some parties of Germans
are reported in the eastern wood
Itself. The fighting continues in fine
weather and under good visibility.
1--WE still hold the major part of
the wood and also Kleine Vierstraat.
The technical objective of enemy
operation seems to be an attempt to
clear the way for a thrust toward
Scherpenberg from the northeast,
and it may prove to be the beginning
of further fierce fighting in this
reyion.'H
