REILLY KILLED
 THREE GERMANS
Went Into Dugout Single Handed and Got Them All,
 After Jaw Was Broken.

Sergeant Thomas Reilly, who at the outset of the war spoke for Red Cross work to thousands of men and women in the factries and theatres of Bridge port, has been wounced twice, accord ing to reports received here. He is said to have received his wounds in the engagement in the Argonne forest in the fierce fighting in connection with taking this section just before the armistice was signed. Several varying reports have been received concerning his injuries A few months ago it was reported here by men who had come back that his loft jaw bone was broken. He had then acquired the sobriquet of Rough Neck" Reilly on account of lis fierce and unresist- able .onslaughts upon the Huns.
 . One night, it has been told, he went , into a Hun dug-out and attacked three of it's occupants. One of the Huns hit him in the cheek with his i gun and broke his jaw bone, but be- fore he got out of the entanglement with the Huns the three lay dead in the trenches before him, in spite ot his handicap of no arms and broken jaw. From that time he was known as Rough Neck" Reilly among his comrades in the 102nd Machine Gun C., 102nd Infantry.
 Sergt. Reilly has one sister, Miss Mary A. Reilly of Edwards street, New Haven, a teacher in one of the New Haven public schools. His father d1ec shortly after he entered the service.

THE BUTLER RIFLE.

The oldest of all stories of war
speculation has just come to light in
the New York courts. 1t shows that
a dead mans plan realized fortune
from nothing after his body was at
the bottom of the sea. George Ley
Peace Butler, a professional musi-
clan, known on the stage as George
Vernon, went down with the Lusi
tania. His will, filed in New York,
was found to provide for the dispo-
sition among relatives of the sum of
$103,588. Upon investigation, how
ever, it was found that the large sum
thus formally devised comprised only
the prospective profits from a con-
tract which the testator had to fur
nish rifles to the Russian govern
ment. His actual estate was exact
ly SAY. After Buffers death, his
wife, alone and impoverished, COM
mitted suicide. Buffers executor,
however, continued the negotiations
about the rifle contract and finally
brought the whole thing to a success
full conclusion. Just as Butler had
calculated, when making his will, a
profit of 45 cents on each rifle was
realized, the total profit being the
exact sum he had devised. The post
mortem fortune was divided among
Buffers mother, his two brothers and
his two sisters. After expenses had
been deducted, each heir received
$12,733.-J. M. Allison, in Cincin-
natl Times Star.

NEW WORD IN FUEL TRADE.

From New England comes the
curious word "culmback," used of
the anthracite dust and refuse that
in Pennsylvania are styled culm, q
good honest word that Webster's die
tionary finds to be of probably Welsh
origin. As a fuel we can understand
Boston's objections to this poor stuff,
but we cannot approve of its COIN
ing new word to voice its disap-
proval. The truck is apparently just
culm, without having passed through
those refining processes that turn it
into rice, buckwheat or pea coal.
There are millions of tons of it in
the anthracite regions. 1t is GUS
tomary to put it through washery,
which separates the good particles
of coal from the dust and thus
utilities what was formerly a worth
less by-product of the mines. There
can be no possible excuse for dump
ing just culm on New England, and
it is doubtful if this has been done.
Probably the directors are suffering
from steam sizes of anthracite of I'M
usually poor quality.-Philadelphia
Record.

HAS TRUE PATRIOTIC SPIRIT
Long Island Man Gives $4,000 to Gov
eminent and Insists on Paying
Tax on Gift.

The champion patriot has been
discovered, the Washington Evening
Star says. He is generous citizen
of Long Island, N. Y, but the treas
ury department, recipient of three
gifts from him, will not disclose his
name.
Besides making a present to the
government of check for 81, 900 not
long ago, the New Yorker insisted
on paying the government the in
come tax on the gift, which, not be-
ing made to religion, education OF
science, is not exempt from the tax.
Recently he sent another check for
$1,000 to the treasury, remitting
also the tax due on the gift. An ex-
ira thousand also was given to the
department for transmission to the
French government.
The donor extraordinary, whose
patriotic impulses have stirred treas
ury officials, is an advocate of peace.
He wrote Treasurer Burke he is
seventy years old, has family, with
a small inheritance to leave it, and
believes all surplus funds accumu-
lated by rich men should be returned
to the people through their govern
pent,

NEW TYPE OF COOKER IS OLD.

Out in Denver, Colo, new type
of fireless cooker has been put on the
market by J. E. Cook which is frank
ly an improvement on an idea 900
years old, says Popular Science
monthly. 1t is called pressure cook
er and is so small that it may be
packed away in your trunk when you
go away to the country, or in the
automobile when you contemplate a
long trip. 1t is simply steam-tight
cooker, complete in itself, without
the usual box-container. 1t is made
of aluminium, so that it is light in
weight and convenient to handle, as
well as strong enough to resist the
interior S00-pound steam pressure
upon which the cooking depends.
Safety devices are provided on the
cover to take care of the surplus
steam. The safety valve is made
separable, so that it may be easily
cleaned and kept in condition. The
steam gauge is calibrated to 80
pounds on dial that can easily be
read. When the food has been in the
cooker long enough, thumb-screw
Of the petcock is turned to release
the steam so that cooking will stop.

DIDN'T APPEAL TO SOLDIER
Wounded American Had His Own
Opinion Concerning Much-Vaunted
Climate of "Sunny France"

Writing from the hospital some
where in France, of which he is d.
rector, Maj. John M. T. Finney, a
famous Johns Hopkins surgeon,
says:
"When you hear anybody talk
about LaBelle France and Sunny
France and that sort of thing, just
smile.
Zone of the soldiers who had been
wounded in the trenches, after he
had plenty of opportunity to judge
the French climate from that point
of view, was brought into the hos
pital one rainy, cold night not long
ago. After he had been put to bed
(the first comfortable bunk he had
struck for some time) he heaved a
sigh of relief and, turning to the
nurse who had just fixed him COM
fortably, said, in a way that meant
volumes: Miss, amt this a - of
a climatep But in spite of all the
weather and the grip, Of which the
hospital is full, everybody is in good
spirits and working hard. 1t means
a lot to the soldiers over here to feel
that you folks at home are doing
your best to help out. There are no
CUTTERS over here. hope there are
none over there"

COUNTRY CALLS CAMERA MEN
Photographers of America Have OPP
portunity to Be of Valuable serV-
ice to the Nation.

The country is calling to the colors
al Photographic practitioners Of
marked technical ability and ply
steal fitness. No distinction is made
between professional and amateur,
employee and employer, as long as
he has practical experience of a char
acter that can be put to immediate
use in the feld-obedient to the in
structions Of the Photographic divi-
sion of the United States signal
corps. AS the equipment of an Off
cial photographer in the army must
of necessity be Of higher standard
than that set by the Photographic
profession, men selected for service
will be given military training in the
special signal corps and instruction
in military photography in the
schools of aerial photography estab-
lished for that purpose. Never In
the history of this country have the
camera men been called upon to rem
der so important service. There
must be no faltering, no indecision,
no doubt in this supreme effort to
defend and uphold the principles Of
democracy for which this country
has fought successfully three great
vars. Perhaps the photographers of
America, who are in position to
render a special and invaluable serv-
ice-a service which, if performed as
it should, can and will be-may be
the means to end this world war

USE FOR ENGLISH SPARRoWS
Food Experts Declare the Bird Is
Foundation for Most
Delicious PIE.

Blackbird pies have been heralded
in song and fable since the beginning
of time, but no hero was ever more
greatly surprised when confronted
by the four and twenty blackbirds of
legendary fame than were the home
economics experts of the food admin
istration when confronted with spar
row pie the other day when guests at
a luncheon served them in Washing
ton by the Philadelphia Ledger. The
birds were caught in the suburbs of
Philadelphia by James Hunt, ST., of
the city, who has started a movement
to encourage the catching and eating
of English sparrows in this country.
Sparrow pie is a staple English
dainty In this country English spar
rows are considered a pest because
they destroy grain, and therefore
their bodies make clean, wholesome
food. Special traps have been de-
vised by which several dozen spar
rows may be caught at once, either
by day or night, Sparrows are easily
prepared for cooking by a simple
cleaning process of cutting away the
necks and legs and peeling the skin
off, feathers and all.
Sparrows are easily prepared for
cooking by the domestic economy ex-
perts-and who could be better

WHEN A BOMB is DROPPED
Germans Have Ingenious Device to AS
slst the Aim Of the Man
Releasing It

If bomb be dropped from an air.
plane 10000 feet up, and travelling
at speed of 100 miles an hour, it
reaches the ground considerable
distance ahead of the point at which
it was released, and the difficulty of
judging how to hit a particular
building must be enormous. A ma
chine invented to assist the raiders
has been found on a captured Ger
man Gotha.
The main feature is a telescope
hung on gimbals and pointing
through the floor of the bomber's
compartment. In connection with
this is a form of spirit-level which
brings bubble into the center of a
glass disk when the telescope is YER
teal, SO that the bomber knows when
it is in the position that can be
trusted. Below the telescope is a
prism, so that the image seen is not
an object directly underneath, but at
any desired distance ahead, accord
ing to the angle at which it is set.
For instance, if the airplane is 49,
900 feet up, and the speed is such
that the bomb must be released half
mile from the object, the prism has
to be set at an angle of Is degrees.
Even then the calculation is liable
to error, because the density Of diff
ferent layers of air may vary, and, Of
course, any DETECTION Of the airplane
from the straight line to the object
throws the calculation out.

Gently discovered to his chagrin. Fly
ing high over the sea looking for the
dark shadows in the deep that told
him the submersible was there, he
perceived suddenly his prize. Long
and round it was, presumably some
$50 feet beneath the surface.
With thrill of pride he swooped
down, preparing his depth bomb as
he did SO. lowering directly above

watched it sink. A few minutes later
the sea geysered from the deep shock.
He cheered Justify, for it is a source
of great joy in the Royal flying corps
when one of the birdmen "gets" a
sub.
He could see the U-boat rolling in
distress and rising toward the sur
face through the dim, green water.
He rose a trife higher and waited
with machine gun ready to dispose
of any defenders should the boat be
ready to show fight.
What was his surprise a moment
later when the U-boat "plopped" on
the surface and turned out to be a

Since that day several instances OF
the kind have been reported, the
whales from above looking beyond a
