EYE WITNESS TELLS
.OF TERRIFIC BLAST

BERLIN, Nov. 10-An intimate
account of the happenings in Nun
ich in the Buergerbrau cellar bomb
ing Wednesday evening was publish
ed in a Berlin newspaper by an eye
witness of the catastrophe.
Il was just leaving the cellar to
get my coat in an adjoining cloak
room" the eye witness related,
when I heard a terrific detonation
and a shower of plaster descended
upon me. I was thrown against the
wall by the impact of the explosion.
The lights went out and, together
with some other persons near, tried
to make my way back into the eel
lar to see what was wrong but was
greatly hindered by people rushing
past me out of the cellar. The air
was Sitting with dust raised by
falling debris Someone shouted,
nobody is to leave the cellar! and
Immediately guards were stationed
at the door to prevent people from
passing outside. Our first thought
was that we had been shelled by
enemy bombs, but on regaining the
cellar I learned something far more
CHASTITY had happened An attempt
had been made on the life of Der
Fuhrer. Then there was no time to
think for the first of the wounded
were dragging themselves from the
cellar covered with blood. With 9TH
ers I gave what assistance 1 could
with first aid and soon stretcher
bearers and nurses appeared to take
over our task took time then to
look around. Pillars supporting a
part of the ceiling had given way
and the ceiling itself had collapsed
The floor was covered with broken
chairs, steel Orders plaster and huge
beams of the superstructure of the
building were just in front of the
entrance where only a few minutes
earlier Der Fuhrer, together with
leading members of the party had
been standing"

Give EUergreens
Generous Drink
OF Water This Fall

Give those evergreens in your yard
a good long. deep drink of water this
fall to keep them from being winter
killed by severe temperatures and dry
ing out" is the advice E. E. Isaac,
extension horticulturist at Montana
state college, passes along to Montana
nome owners.
Contrary to popular opinion, he said,
evergreen needles or leaves need mois-
ture to supply that lost by evapora-
ton. Unless the tree has enough mois-
ture. the leaves may dry and die. When
the ground is frozen, the roots in the
frozen zone are unable to draw mois-
ture from the soil. Those in the lower
levels, below the frozen zone, can take
up water, however. That is the reason
why eyergreens need to be generously
watered during the fall months.
/ In watering evergreens,S Isaac ad-
vises leaving the water on long enough
to soak several feet into the ground.
1t Is necessary to have the soil area
below the. frozen zone well supplied
with moisture.
