He spent 31 of his 43 years of service afloat, served in two wars, sailed the seven seas and four times was called upon to represent the United States Navy on special diplomatic missions. He wore the distinguished service medal of his own government and deco rations bestowed by half . aolen foreign powers.
 Striking Figure
 He was a striking figure whether in multi, which he seldom wore be- fore his retirement in 1922, or in uniform, with his weather-beaten face appearing beneath service cap tilted rakishly in old navy fashion. He saw the Navy evolve from the "tin-clads the early sos to the l floating steel fortresSes of today, once helped sail an old navy square rigger around Cape Horn, on anoth- CT occasion was ice-bound off New foundland

Later he help ed subdue the Moro tribesmen in the Philippines
 Short Time Ashore | His tours ashore included year and half as Superintendent of Transportation of the Panama Can- al, 1914-15. Then as war clouds began to peer above Americas hori- zon, he was relieved of that duty and made member of the General Board of the Navy.

 One member of the crashed Ger man bomber was rescued alive and taken captive.
 The raid was the third of Nazi bombers on the coast of England in the past 10 days.

BULLETIN-PARIS, June 8. The French Admiralty an nounces that in reprisal for the recent bombing of Paris, a squadron of Allied Naval bomb- CTS raided the factories in the suburbs of Berlin last night and returned to their bases intact, soaring over anii-aircraft gum fire.
 This Is tiss first time Allied planes have dropped bombs on Berlin although the German Capital City has been show cred with propaganda leaflets since the start of the war.

 BULLETIN-PARIS, June 8. A column of between 200 and 300 Nazi tanks broke through the French left flank and crossed the Bresle, racing southward nearly 20 miles to Tories Faux, midway between the river and Roucn.
 These charging units went around the French supporting points without infantry follow ing. However the entrapment of the column of tanks seems probable as French anti-tank units went in hot pursuit.

MAYDEVEL0p INTO SAME OLD 5LUGFE5T; NO
 WEAPONS TO BE BARRED
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, June S.-CapitaI in wartime:
 There are army men about who off the record will warn you look out for poison gas; it won't be long now
 Indications are, they say, that the "gentleman's war" may de- velop anytime now into the same old slugfest, with no weapons barred.
 About two years after the be- ginning of World War I the Ger mans introduced poison gas at Ypres. But things move faster now Hints are found in the flame thryyers and the use of liquid fire as well as the charges from both sides that open cities are being bombed.
 The number of brutal weap-
 Ons, other than gas, used in
 the World War are too numer-
 Ous to mentor. Secretary of
 State Lansing had over the
 mantelpiece in his office,
 collection of saw-edged, jagged,
 curley-cued bayonets, knives
 and bOlOs. There were wicked
 locking dirks, said to have been
 Med by certain half-savage
 territoriaIs for scalping.
 Army men here insist that tn, dum-dum bullet that splays ou like hand and then rips it's way through flesh, was myth-no because of it's horror. but because it was impractical. It fouled thu bores of rifles and was inaccurate
 Although army officials won discuss it, the Americans had z few odd weapons of their own One that drew violent protes from the Germans was the sawed. off, pump-action shotgun. At short range, it was brutal. Secretary Lansing's answer to the German protest was a scorcher some. thing to the effect that what, 1T the face of the evidence, made them think they had any humani. tarian rights.

IN CHANGING

In determining to vote for Willkie
and McNary, to head the government
of the United States, it is important
not to forget those who will be in the
Congress of the United States. These
representatives must be able to CO.
operate with the chief executive.
Walter P. Johnson, former big
league baseball player, has been in
Garrett county this week, seeking to
be elected to Congress on the Repub-
lican ticket.
No more sincere man has ever
sought your vote. Not a politician,
he doesn't have much to say and very
little to promise, except an attention
to duty that the present Congressman
w. D. Byron, has lacked. Byron has
been absent 46 percent of the time
when important legislation came to a
vote.
While a baseball player Walter
Johnson had the reputation of never
arguing with an umpire, always play
ing the game to win, and playing the
game fair and square. His sincerity
we feel sure, will carry over into
politics.
Harry W. Nice, U. S. Senate candi-
date, is openly opposed to the New
Deal and will do his utmost to as
sist Mr.. Willkie in getting the govern
ment structure on a sound basis.
These men ought to be given en-
thusiastic support.
