Breaks Through Bridge.

On Monday afternoon the large oil tank
that has been used to spread oil on the
State Road broke through the old wood
en- bridge spanning Toms creek near EN-
mitsburg and dropped about fifteen feet
to the bed of the stream. The driver
and several attendants went down with
the machine hut none were injured The
tank had been filled at Emmitsburg with
1900 gallons of oil and the weight was
more than the old structure could carry.
1t is to be hoped that the State will see
its way clear to erect concrete bridge
over this stream.

New Torpedo "Catcher" Said
to Frustrate a ShipWreck

A new method of fighting the U-boat
menace is for the attacked vessel to
drop a depth charge as the torpedo ap-
proaches. In daylight the wake Of the
torpedo can usually be seen quite clear
iy. When the depth charge explodes
1t either causes the premature explo-
sion of the torpedo or else diverts the
deadly missile from its course This
was found out quite by accident. A
ships officer, in his excitement one
day, threw depth charge overheard.
It did the trick.-Cassell's Journal.

Admiral Saved Engineer.

A striking feature of the naval side

AYiators in italy.

From the Italian front where many
American aviators are now serving
comes this note:
Sometimes at night, after dinner,
q little music is INDUCED in as re-
taxation. OF course the Italians shine
there. Many pilot or chauffeur in
overalis is humming selections from
grand opera. Some of the American
boys also are good musicians. One
would rattle away for an hour at a
time selections from Schubert or Men
delssohns 'Melody in F." to what
seemed almost sacrilege, that Is,
play it in ragtime for change"

People Should Subscribe.
Duty of All People To Support
Fourth Liberty Loan.

" While enthusiastic reports OF the
progress of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaign are being received from
many parts of the country, subscrlp-
tions fed with the incorporated banks
and trust companies and reported to
the Treasury Department for the first
four business days of the campaign,
totals only Six Hundred Twenty Six
Million, Five Hundred and Six Thou
sand Dollars. In order that the full
amount of Six Billion Dollars may be
taken, subscriptions must be received
at the average rate of over Three Hun
dred and Fifteen Million Dollars for
each of the nineteen business days in
the campaign, and yet up to date sub
scriptions are being received at only
about one half this necessary rate.
While am confident that the A
merican people will in the end COM
plete the enormous task now taken be-
fore them, desire to urge every one
not only to subscribe to the utmost OF
his ability, but to subscribe at the
earliest possible moment in order
that his subscription may serve as an
inspiration to others.
The campaign is handicapped by
two factors; the first being the unfor-
tunate spread of influenza throughout
many of the Eastern States, necessita-
ting the cancellation of the public
meetings, parades and other demon
strations in behalf of the Loan. This
condition makes it necessary for the
people to come forward with their sub.
scriptions without waiting to be call
ed upon. The second unfavorable fac
tor, and by far the most serious one
is the feeling which is prevalent in
some communities that the glorious
news from the battle fronts reflects a
military situation which warrants a
slackening of our efforts here at home.
Nothing could be further from the
truth and no more insidious propa-
ganda than this could be circulated
by the enemy.
The time is ripe for the final stroke
which shall lead to complete victory
and enduring peace, but that stroke
cannot be delivered in day or a
week. Germany is not yet crushed.
She has millions of strong fighting
men still on the battle lines and with
invasion of their own territory facing
them they will fight even more des-
perately than heretofore. The strength
of our military efforts must be mul-
tiplied. Our fighting forces must feel
behind then the steadying support of
the American people. The supply of
American arms and ammunition
must not be interrupted or diminish
ed. Now is the time for speed and
the maximum of force at the present
time means an earlier return of Our
Boys from the bloody battlefelds
means the saving of American lives
and the winning of glorious and
conclusive victory"
