SHELLS LAND IN AMERICA!
Durind Action of Enemy U-Boat OFF
Massachusetts Several Shots
Hit the Shore.

Orleans, Mass, July 22.-An enemy
submarine attacked a tow off the
easternmost point of Cape Cod Sun
day. sank three barges, set fourth
and the tug on fire and dropped four
,hells on the mainland. The action
lasted an hour and was unchallenged
except for two hydroplanes from the
Chatham aviation station, which cir
cled over the U-boat causing her TO
submerge for only a moment to re-
appear and resume firing.
The crews of the tow numbering
forty-one and including three women
and five children, escaped amid the
shell fire in lifebOats. Several were
wounded, but only one seriously. This
happened to be John Botovich, an
Austrian, of the tug crew. His right
arm was torn away near the shoulder
by a shell fragment.

railroad, were bound from Glouces

bringing coal to New England.
No Warning Given.
The attack was without warning
and only the poor craftsmanship ol
the Germans permitted the escape oi
the crews.
The one-sided fight took place three
miles south of the Orleans coast guard
station, at the tip of the cape. The
firing brought thousands to the
beach. The flashes of the guns ant
the outline of the U-boat were plain
ly seen. Danger was not thought Of
until a shell whizzed over their heads
and splashed in a pond mile inland
Three other shells buried themselye:

ance of 1914. Schools not included
would easily bring the total up to 400.
The schools reporting are as follows:
Christian. 1SO; North II st. Friends
Mission, SIS; Episcopal, 80; First Pres,
byterian 60; Methodist 464; Congrega.
tional, 95; Friends, 141; Nazarene, so;
st. Mary's Catholic, Sc; United Presby-
terian, G5. This record being in July,
these are hot weather figures. and in
few cases the normal condition is
being maintained, but to a large ex-
tent there has been falling off from
20 to 80 per cent from the general av-
erage.
During the vacation period of July
and August is just the time when the
various schools should be gathering
strength for the big inflow which COM
es in September and extends during
the Fall. Winter and Spring. Viewed
from the standpoint of the population
of Oskaloosa these figures seem UNI
usually small even in summer and they
indicate that not more than 8 or 10
per cent of the population are in Sun

pearance in Mahaska county, nothing
like 1t ever seen here before. A sturdy
upright stalky makes its appearance

above the surrounding vegetation and
then sends out creeping yellow vine
that proceeds to develop with remark
able rapidity running riot over the tops
of adjacent plant growth. in all di-

vine has been found to reach a dis
tance of twenty feet or more from tho
location of its rooted origin. The plant
has been sent to Ames College for
