Sidney Beauclerk of this city, a stu
dent aviator in the American army,
serving on the Italian front, recently
exerienced a most narrow escape
from death, plunging downward TO-
600 feet when the engine Of his air
plane went dead. In letter to
friends at Syracuse university, which
he formerly attended, he said he was
flying more than two miles in the air
The machine falling downward Beau
clerk gave himself up for lost but
made frantic grab at the lever of
his machine as he neared the earth
and by almost superhuman effort
succeeded in partially righting it
when but a few hundred feet from
the ground. The plane struck the
ground hard, damaging the machine.
Ambulance men who rushed to the
spot where the machine fell, were
astonished to find him uninjured and
making repairs to the plane. Lieut..
Beauclerk is theson of DR.. Preston
Beauclerk, formerly of this town,
now of Concord, N. H., and grandson
of S. w. Beauclerk of this place.

MANNED SOLDIERS
ARE BEING TAUGHT
DIAMOND CUTTING


Brighton, Eng, June l6-Soldiers
who have lost a leg but whose hands
and sight are perfect are learning dia-
mond cutting and polishing in this At
lantic City of England They are en-
ployed almost exclusively inan indus
try new to England and expect before
the war is over to compete on a favor
able basis with the more highly skill
I'd diamond cutters of Amsterdam and
Antwerp, where in pre-war days
there was a monopoly of the business.
Two large, modern, four-story build
ings are being put up which when
completed will employ 1900 dis
charged soldiers.
Only ex-soldiers with unimpairied
eyesight and perfect control of their
fingers are taken because everything
depends on a mans accuracy of vision
and control of his bands. Even with
these qualities 1t takes man a life
time to learn the trade.
First the men pass through train
ing school. When a man is first ad-
mitted he is put to work on marbles
such as he played with when a boy.
He cuts up and polishes the marbles
as he will later do with the real stones.
The marbles are first sawn in half,
anu tneH STOuHu 1fltO Sndpe Oh d otstt
disc This serves to give him some
idea of the finished shape of the real
diamond, but 1t is impossible to get the
face even approximately correct, ow-
ing to the softness of the marble.
Instead of cutting the fifty eight
facets or surfaces found on the fin
ished brilliant, the men cut six planes
on the marble, and afterward grind
the base roughly into the shape of
the collet or neck. When a man does
this skilfully he is given a small dia-
mond to cut, and it is a great day in
a mans training when this stage ar
rives. The feeling that he has a stone
worth from 500 to $3.50 in his pos
session to cut and polish gives him a
sense of responsibility.
While undergoing training the men
receive no wages, but they receive
a government allowance Of about 81 a
week. After they have advanced far
enough to be entrusted with dia-
mond they are put on a wage basis OF
from $40 to $50 a week, depending on
their ability. Their training usually
occupies a period of from three to six
months

An Atlantic Port, June 16 (by the
Associated Press --Intimations that

today by DR., Carlos Lopez Buslaman-

Wash ington, June t6.--Thc govern
ments financial progress for the next
four months was disclosed today by
Secretary McAdoo's announcement
that in preparation for the fourth Lib
erty loan, to be foated probably in
October, about $4,000, 100000 certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness will be issued.
They will be offered in blocks of
$3.50, 0,000,0 600 each every two weeks be-
ginning June rs.
Every national bank and trust COM
pany is asked to assist the govern
ment by subscribing per cent of its
gross resources monthly. Tho certifi-
Gates will bear 4 ~ per cent inter-
est like those preceding the third lib
erty loan and will have varying ma
turity periods, none exceeding four
months.
In addition, an undetermined guam
tity-perhaps $4,000 000, ,000-of tax
certificates will he issued during the
summer for use in paying taxes year
from now.
Next Loan for SIX Billion.

indicated that the fourth Liberty Loan
will be for at least $4,000, 0O0, 900. the

ment expenditures in the next four
months. The treasury already has es-
timated these roughly at about $12,-
600, 100000 between July | and next
January I.
The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past year
amounts virtually to borrowing in adj
vance from banks on projected popn-
lar war loans or tax collections and
periodically refundlng these short
term obligations in long term Liberty
Bonds. Depository banks make 1-2
per cent net, the difference between
the IL per cent interest paid by the
government and the per cent collect
ed for deposits.
The future financial program was
announced at this time to enable
banks to prepare. Secretary McAdoo
has written a letter to the president
of each of the $500 national banks
and 1900 state institutions, explain
ing the plan.

N0RWE CLAN BARK
IS SUNK BY FIRE
FROM HUN U-B0AT

Washington, June 16.-The Nor
wegian bark Samoa from Buenos Aires
was sunk by shell-fire from a German
submarine at o'clock last Friday
morning about ninety miles off the
Virginia coast. The navy department
announced today that fifteen members
Of the crew were picked up by a
schooner and transferred to another
vessel which Is bringing them to port.
The Samoa, vessel of 1861 net
tons, was sent down near the spot
where the British armed steamer
keemun was unsuccessfully attacked
Thursday morning. The Norwegian
vessel was the nineteenth craft known
officially TO have been sunk by the
raiders since they began operations off
the Atlantic coast some three weeks
ago.
The tactics adopted by the subma-
rine commanders in avoiding armed
craft led officials to believe that Ger
many is counting only on a hoped for
effect en- American morale and not
upon any military benefit to be de-
rived from the damage done.
