Automobile owners are realizing
the danger likely TO occur from oper-

A fond auntie was left to amuse her

deeply interested in his toy engine and
tiny Ruth was absorbed In watching
auntle cut out beautiful paper dolls.

auntie to finish.
"Oh, auntle. isn't she pretty? She's

Eyes, she Is lovely. And see what
fancy dress she has on. Look at her

The last word caught serious-mind-

"Auntie, show me the train"
Auntie pointed to the deep flounce

Woman Frozen to Ground.

During cold snap last winter
Mrs. John Baker of townsville took
a bucket of hot water and went into
the yard to clean the concrete pave
ment. She splashed the water around
and used the broom vigorously. when
suddenly she realized she could not
move. She made determined efforts to
move her feet, and experienced fear
full cold chill as thoughts of paralysis
flashed into her mind. She screamed
loudly for help, and her husband, who
came running, found her shoes were
frozen to the pavement.
With a vigorous jerk he yanked her
loose, almost pulling her out OF her
shoes. 1t was a thankful wife he led
into the house to warm her feet.

U-bOAT WARFARE
BROUGHT OVER SEA
FORLORN HOPE OF GERMANY
TO DRAW HOME SOME OF
AMERICAN NAVAL FORCES.
Submarines Fail to Sink Transports
on Account of Convoy and Turn
Against the DefenceIess
Coastwise Ships.

WashingtOn.-Germa at last has
brought her submarine warfare to the
shores of the United States, appar-
emily in a forlorn hope of striking
telling blows on this side of the At
lantic and of drawing home some of
the American naval forces from the
war zones, where the U-boat menace
is being slowly but surely strangled to
death.
In the attacks upon coasting vessels
almost in sight of the New Jersey shore
reported Monday, naval officials see
frantic admission from Berlin that the
submarine has failed. American armed
power is rolling overseas In ever-in-
creasing force, despite the utmost exer-
tons of the undersea pirates off the
coasts of Europe.
Lurk for Days for Prey.
Now the raiders have crossed the sea
and lurked for days near Americas
greatest ports. They no doubt were
sent to sink transports, but here again
they failed. Blocked off the troop
ships by convoy craft, they have turned
in fury against defenseless coasters.
In all the record of destruction they
have written, the raiding party has
struck at no vessels bound overseas
and therefore armed for fight. Only
ships that could not hit back have
been attacked. The only one of half
score of vessels probably sent to the
bottom that had any real military
value in ship or cargo was an oil
tanker.
Some Victims Aboard U-Boat.
The crews of some of the craft de-
stroyed have been brought into port,
with a story of eleven days imprison-
ment aboard an enemy submarine.
During that period, scores of troop
and supply ships have passed in and
out, on the business of crushing the
German army in France. The U-boat
found no weak link in the chain OF
armed craft that guarded them.
Secretary Daniels went to the capt.
toll Monday to tell members of the
house naval committee that the raid
was designed to frighten the American
people into demanding the return of
war vessels from the other side. He
gave assurance that congress need
have no apprehension as to protection
of the American coast and that there
will be no recall of forces from the
war zone.
