ITALIANS CLAIM
U.S.. BATTLESHIP
Unsubstantiated Broadcast
Says Ship OF Maryland
Class Torpedoed
BY DREW MIDDLETON.


LONDON, May 22.-(P-Without
corroboration elsewhere, the ItaI-
ian high command announced to-
day that the submarine Barrarigo
had sunk a United States battle
ship of the Maryland class with
two torpero hits Wednesday just
off the South Atlantic bulge of the
Brazilian coast.
The special communique, imply
ing that the Italian submarine re-.
mained near enough to the surface
to observe the results, added that
the battleship's destroyed escort
failed to "react' to the torpedoing.
This rare Italian claim dominat.
ed the days developments in the
war at sea which also included:
1.-German announcements that
20 more ships, totaling Ill, 800 tons,
had been sunk by U-boats in the
Caribbean and the Gulf of Mex
leo and three others, amounting to
$4,000 tons, in the Gulf of St. Law
renee in the torpedo warfare
against the United Nations, MAX
ing a grand total of 681, 200 tons de-
stroyed in all areas thus far in
May by German ships and planes.
2.-British disclosure that the
German cruiser Prinz Eugen, dam
aged five days ago in a torpedo
plane attack off Southern Norway
had arrived at Kiel, big German
naval base on the Baltic. The air
ministry has reported two definite
torpedo hits and one probable on
the 10,000-ton warship.
Official Brazilian and Unlteu
States sources at Rio De Janeiro,
commenting on today's Italian
claim, said they had no knowledge
of any naval engagement in Brazil.

own story, would have occurred IN

The location given, 100 miles

A Nice Visit With Nice Folks
Much Of our life has been sur
prise. Back in our younger days,
we always told mother not to look
for us until she saw us coming.
Since acquiring family they have
learned to do the same. Saturday
Of last week we wen. to the county
seat, leaving word that we would
be back soon after noon. Before
the noon hour we met our friend
Vest Sines, who with his wife and
daughter, Mary Jean. were on their
way to visit the formers parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Sines, of Letart,
w. Va. He asked us to go with
them. Honestly, it took but little
coaxing to get us to decide to go,
1--WE had been there before), but. it
was hurry trip and we had been
so royally enter tanned that we had
always had a desire to go back.
l. aying the court house at 1880,
we rolled through Pennsville, Ches-
terhill, Amesville, Athens, Pomeroy,
then up the Ohio river to Racine.
Let us stop here to say that we are
always bothered to tell which way is
up and down. Stopping at Racine
for fuel, and the Sines' might do
some shopping, that, and getting
across the ferry took an hour.
We arrived at the Sines home at
$40 D. m. Now let us tell about
this good couple. Mr.. Sines will be
"a February "a; Mrs. Anna A.
Slower Sines is IT. They were mar
lied August 26, 1852. Eleven chill
dren were born to them, the first
died at the age of six weeks. The
other 10 are all living. Mr.. and
Nrs. Sines are old fashioned folks
and would to God all the pairs, and
singles, were like them. You know
before they tell you that they are
glad YOU came. Of course Mrs.
S;nes informed us she was glad we
came. if we could put up with what
they had to eat, and their way OF
liyins. When supper was served
we counted IA varieties Of foods on
the table. If any bakery could,
and would put out bread like Mrs.
Sines' they would not have to Wor-
ry about tires for their delivery
tlncks-folks would go after it, II
they couldn't get it otherwise. II
some of our city felix's could sit
dawn to breakfast Ike she served
they would do as we did-push the
cereal back Dinner was repet1-
tion of the two former meals; only
more SC. Another son and family
had ioined us before the noon meal.
For the benefit Of our friends BIZ
anthia Baker and VIII Yauger, we
want to say we saw Mt. Alto Mud
sock) and Cottageville. We had
hoped to see John and Sophia Sines
but the road up the ridge was i'm
passable, and we hadn't time to &C
BY Evans, but we learned that John
was improved, and We would like
to go again.

We learn that the sale of the
Rice farm as we noted some time
ago, failed to go through.
The Grim Reaper has garnered
two more of our long time friends
---Lafe Lindimore who was born at
Muttonburg, and it was always
"Muttonburg" to him. When we
would meet him the first question,
How are your" Second, "How is
everyone at Muttonburg, Through
his work with saw mill and thresh-
ing crews he made acquaintance
and friends with large number OF
folks over the territory where they
worked. Lafe was born in the
house now the home of Lum Ander-
son. With the passing of Lafe
much of the early history of Bris-
tol township has gone. We are
glad that we have been able to lis
ten, anc write much Of that his
tory into the files of the Morgan
County Democrat. The other, AIDA
Drummond Carpenter, who spent
much time reading worth while lit
erature. She thus became a good
conversationalist. We will miss
both of these friends.
We note there is to be some
changes in the All-American team
over at Washington. Here's hoping
they may all make home runs, and
no errors, and that brings to mind
that a friend said There are no
Democrats" We feel that should
there be neither Democrats nor Re-
publicans unto the next election
but Americans, it would be much
better country.
1t seems that Windsor township
folks diGn't all want to vote to dry
the township up.

friend, he spoke of the leader of his
