O'Clock the same evening the antl-slr
guns opened up. but we could see moth
Ing In the Ulr when we went outside.
The guns soon ceased firing and we
decided that a false alarm had dis
turbed the antl-alr gun crews. went
to bed but was awakened at 1870 O'Clock
by the worst racket have ever heard
aside from the thick OF a general bat
tie. The enemy had attacked the city
In force. ] looked out OF my window
and searchlights were In evidence
everywhere in an effort to locate the
BOche. While looking out the enemy
dropped a flare bomb In the street. A
flare bomb makes the surroundings like
daylight so that the enemy may search
out a good spot on which 10 drop the
more deadly kind OF bombs. One OF
the many bombs hit near our head
quarters and 1t did shake the building
some. II set fire TO some buildings.
The flames were soon put out, however.
The roar Of the anti-air guns and the
crash OF the exploding shells kept the
city In excitement during greater part
OF the night"
Lieutenant Eberhardt Is bllletlng Of
fcer for his company and seeks out
secure places for the men and equip
ment when changing TO another station,
as they must be so placed that air
planes operators cannot see them.
The young officer said he recently
met George Crawford, Of West street,
near the Brandywine creek. He is an
aviator and Is In good health and en-
joying his work. He also met Daniel
Sullivan, former bellboy at the Hotel
dupont. Sullivan went 10 school in
France and is now a first-class radio
operator.
Lieutenant Eberhardt says he Is In
the finest OF health and asks his friends
to- write TO him.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-03-26

L. S. Gray, an American business
man in Omsk, reports that 1000 pris-
oners with machine guns, aeroplanes.
motorcycle, armored cars and am
munition have been concentrated at
Tomsk.
All these movements, according to
information reaching here, are parts
of a plan to mobilize along the from
tier and oppose any advance by
foreign troops.
President Wilson's message to the
all-Russian congress in Moscow has
been received with enthusiasm in
Siberia. There is much speculation
as to whether his remark about the
inability of America to give help re-
ferred to Siberia. The press as a
whole interpret tie message as a guar
antee of Russia's integrity against all
outsiders.
A passport bureau has been estab-
lished and is supplying to Austrian
soldier credentials under Russian
names. Germans are guarding 10000
rifles in the arsenal in Irkutsk.

larger scale than most people sup
pose. But it will become general
very soon. The government, the rail-
roads and the express companies
have joined in warning shippers to
prepare for car shortage and freight
congestion. In bulletin four large
express companies says:
"It is also requested that freight
service and motor trucks be used for
the short haul IN and around longest
ed districts"
Heretofore the truck has been an
auxiliary to transportation. Now 1t
becomes an efficient co-worker with
the railroads and steamboats,, and the
truck can keep the freight moving
and the terminals free from conges-
ton.
1.-THE Republic Motor Truck COM
pany and dealers throughout the
country have made a special study OF
cross country freighting by truck,
They realize every ton carried by
truck means one ton less for the rail-
roads, that trucks were being operat-
ed here and there over the country
on regular schedules and that Amer
lea, like France, might be saved from
a great industrial tie-up and disaster
by one solution compelling the motor
truck to do as much of the nuation's
freight carrying as possible. Deal
ers are just as interested in the en-
terprise as the manufacturers.
''One of the results will be the es-
tablishments of regular line of Re
public truck freight trains between
Detroit and Toledo, according to G.
Edward B1iel, manager of the Grass
er Motor company, distributors OF
Republic trucks at Detroit.
"a three and-one-half-t truck is
being used by the West Texas Lun-
Der Co. in freighting to their two
yards at EldoraJdo and Sonora which
are both inland towns and are locat-
ed at a distance from st. Angelo of
50 and rs miles respectively"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-03-26

F. W. Gargett, of the Republic
Motor Truck company, says: His
tory is repeating itself. The public
highways were used by the first To-
comotives. First crude engines cas-
ly proved their superiority to both
eoach and OK cart. Then they were
mounted on rails and the world had
he nucleus of it's great railway sys-
ems.
Now the highways are coming into
heir own again, better highways, but

etterment yet. The automobile has

on back to the public roads. The

Perhaps you have never thought of it, but this disorder is due to a lack of moisture in the residual matter of the food. If you will drink an abundance of water, eat raw fruits and take lots of out door exercise, you may be able eventually to overcome it entirely In the meantime use the most mild and gentle laxatives. Strong and harsh cathartics take too much water out of the system and make a bad matter worse. Cham berlain's Tablets are easy and pleasant to take, and most agree able in effect. Give them a trial.

LUCIA NAMES STREET

LUCIA. Nov. 10. - An ancient
thoroughfare which for 100 years
has encircled this city on top of the
Lucca wall has been officially re-
named as BLVD. Pres't wilson" in
recognition of American aid ex-
tended 10 Italy in the war. The
boulevard is so wide that Il horses
can be driven abreast in i. The
fertilization beneath It was built
when Lucca was the capital Of a
feUdal duchy and has been a IA
nous relic for centuries.
on the same day an American
Red Cross orphanage, also built on
top of the great Lucca wall was
dedicated. This curious site was
selected for lack of an available To-
cation in the town. The building is
a cunning adaptation OF the Luccan
styIe-painted TO conform with the
wall and set with ancient panels and
Latin notices The Orphanage was
erected by the American Red Cross
in 80 days to house a group of SOL
diers' children orphaned during the
war.
