Apart from the immense and con-
tinuous damage caused to the Mola

at Zeebrugge, the lock gates them

practically always under repair.

Indeed, on several occasions, as the
result of direct hits by British air
men. one of the gates had to be re-
moved by immense floating cranes,
and a spare gate fitted. the damaged

Bruges for repair In dry dock.
Owing to the great damage which

their evacuation Of the docks, 1t Is

resulting from the terrific bombing
from the air during the last few

abundantly clear that the enemy's
decision to give up the port Of Bruges
as q repair base for submarines was
In the main due to his inability to de-
fend 1t against the increasingly pow
erful attacks from the air.
The biggest explosion rel expert
epced in Bruges was caused by British
aifmen at In Brngeoise works, May
81, 1913. The concussion was felt all
over the city, and the flames lit up
the sky for many miles around. 1t
is said that the explosion wrought SO
much destruction of valuable machin-
cry that work was never properly re-
sumed In these extensive factories.

A Thousand Yous

When you pick up your morning or afternoon newspa-
per and glance over the advertising you quite uncon-
sciously multiply yourself a thousand times.
In half or three-quarters of an hour you. metaphoricaLly
speaking, visit every progressive store in town. You
virtually poke your head into every department of ev-
cry department store. You run into the florists, the
confectioners, the oculists, the leading groceries,
banks, theaters, all the various places that supply the
things that make this the, twentieth century and life
worth the living. Here is a greater choice in clothing,
food, furniture, books, pictures, musical Instruments,
travel, entertainment, opportunities for investment, the
service of public utility corporations than any monarch
of old could command.
It would easily take a thousand yous, travelling hard all
day, to find out for yourself what the advertisements
tell you in a few minutes morning or evening.
They deserve your attention. They deserve your conf
dence. Without them, without the progressive spirit of
the merchants and manufacturers who back them, the
great abundance of things you now enjoy would be a
memory-or something still to be realized Without
advertising the prices you would have to pay for many
Of the necessities you now buy for a few pennies would
make a dollar look like a SNOWFALL on the kitchen range.
Read the advertisements. Read them for your own in
formation and advantage. Read them to encourage the
advertisers who are making these better things possible
for you.

New York. January 10.-After a meet ing here today it was announced that the Interstate Trapshooting association would be known in the future as the American Trapshootng association, which will have jurisdiction over all trapshooting tourna- ments In this country and Canada.
 For nearly a quarter of century all of the principal shoots at live birds and clay targets, including the grand Ameri- can handicap. were arranged and gov erned by the Interstate association, which, under the management of Elmer E. Shaner. had it's headquarters in Pitts burg. The American Trapshooting asso- citation has established its headquarters at 460 Fourth avenue. this city, and Storey McLinn has been appointed man. ager-secretary in place of MT. Shaner, who retired.
 In the future all the Canadian tourna- ments will be privileged and assisted by contributions from the American Trap shooting association. The grand Ameri- can handicap at clay targets will take place next August in Chicago, but none o. the subsidiary sectional events will be promoted this year. At all of the state championship shoots the conditions win call for 900 instead of 100 targets. as for merly, so that these events will be of two days duration at least.

NEWSPAPER ATTACKED

Berlin, Thursday, January S.-The gov ernment today issued a proclamation at tacking Die Friehet for its continued denunciations of the Ebert -Scheidemann cabinet, while at the same time attempt ing to act as the negotiating agent for the radicals who are plotting to over throw the government The proclamation accuses the newspaper not onlp of pub fishing a vicious and distorted account of the street fighting and of charging the government troops with needless bru- tality. but also of engaging in double dealing and treachery in sending it's henchmen, including Haase, Dittman Earth and Breitscheid. to act as emis- saries for the Spartacans.
 The role of Haase and his friends in the present conflict is still a matter of conjecture. The fact that the former cabinet member and leader of the inde- pendents has been unable to prevent his party's newspaper from publishing the Spartacans appeals and otherwise giv- ing the insurgents active journalistic aid is now generally interpreted as proving that the Haase cohorts are determined upon a campaign of ruin
 The civic clements in Berlin are giv- ing Gustav Noske. who has charge of the governments defensive measures, their active support. and the governmental re- criuiting offices are busy signing up volunteers. The government troops have succeeded in recovering the big provi- sion warehouses in the Koepenicker- strasse and the Tempelhof, which the Spartacans had occupied.
 At o'clock this afternoon the big newspaper plants and the offices of the Wolff bureau were still in the hands of the insurgents.
