SUBMARINE COMMERCE
Germany has again led the world
a pace in that she has escaped ithe
' English blockade by a new and novel
way by the use of a submarine mer
<chantman which carried a cargo of aj
thousand tons, princially of dyestuffs
and mail. The landing ‘in this country
was made up the Chesapeake Bay
t6 Baltimore. The time required to
cross owing to detours to escape pur-
suing warships was fifteen days. The
speed of the draft on the suface of the
waves was twelve ‘knots an hour and
only five knots when submerged,
While this trip will pay very weil
because of exceedingly high priced
material it cannot be as yet regarded
as figuring seriously for the grossser
commodities in maritime matters. The
success of this - enterprise démon-
strates that Germany can have com-
munication with the rest of the world |
in spite of England’s strict blockade.’
“The commander Captain Paul Koenig
will live long in ‘song and story and
‘hig exploit equals those in “Twenty
“Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,”
always thought to be a figment of
the brain never to bey pealized in detual
life.
PATRIOTISM GONE MAD.
At Clearfield: on SaturGay a 19-year-
old pretty -girl made a spectacle of
herself by kissing all the soldiers on
two train sections and all but sixty
men on the third section’ composing
the entire Sixth regiment of Pennsyl-
wvania. She was only deterred . from
completing the osculatory job by the
train leaving. Just imagine the germs
transmitted even if it were by means |
of a pretty mouth! She may be a very.
patriotic young lady but to. say the
least a very silly one. The novelty of
it must have been pleasing to the
boys but we can hardly believe that
all permitted it. In times of real war
one can imagine such enthusiasm for
the defenders of one’s country but
hardly under the existing conditions
in the United States.
Ho! Everybody!!!

est, spiciest ginger snap that ever

Soon to Have Lights.
The brackets have arrived for the
“street lights and Chief Electrician
Staub is busy this week placing them
‘on “the poles. The contract for the
lights was let several months ago
but the light company has been una-
ble to obtain the brackets until the
Ar
‘present time, owing to the Westing- 1
house Co. being too busy manufac-
turing ammunition for the allies. M..
.Staub expects to have the work com-
pleted the latter part of the week.
B, & O, Station Robbed.
The Baltimore & Ohio R. R. station
here was robbed by several unknown
men last Thursday night, The safe
which contained money orders, rail-
road tickets, mileage books and about
twelve dollars in money etc,” was
carried away by the men. They also
broke open the money drawer and took
its contents. The thieves entered the
station by prying a window open with
a claw bar. An automobile was seen
going through the subway early Fri-
day morning at a very great speed,
coming fom the direction of the sta-
tion, and it is the belief that the safe
was hauled out into the country for
la great distance in the auto and then
broken open. Railroad deectives hava
been working on the case since the
robbery, but thus. far have been: una-
ble to find any clue to the thieves.
Home from the Hospital.
George Werner went to Cumberland
early Sunday morning and returned
on No. 15' with his brother, Robert
‘who had been a patient at the Wes-|.
‘tern Maryland ‘Hospital at Cumber-
land for the past few weeks. He was
‘injured apout a month ago at the slope,
Where he had been employed. Mr.
Werner and another man were. mov:
ng the cutting machine to another
part of the mine when Mr. Werner's
leg was caught in the machine, and
injured "badly. At present’ he is una-
ble to walk but it is hoped that ‘he
will speedily recover.
