William Chamberlain, - the youth who sustained a broken leg a few weeks ago when he fell from a bridge at the Paper Goods pond, is able to be out and around. Chamberlain will, for the present, use crutches and will not be able to return to work for some time. Considering the fact that he fell nearly 25 feet and landed into a bed of jagged rocks, the young man's escape from death was miraculous. Help Scarce. At _the present time, help in all lines in Berlin is very scarce. The quarry has heen badly in need of men to work in quarrying, and for thie reason Frank Bacon, one of: the officials of the company, has taken a rif to South Carolina in search of werkers. Thig is his second trip t year. The Lane Construction Co. had con- siderable trouble in geiting the men necessary to carry on repairs, and although it has at present more men than at any time in the past, it is still ir. need of help. The two superinten- dents who have been supervising their work in this state have been drafted, anc this fact has hindered progress. The Prentice company has already advertised for men to work at rlant nights. The company has re- ceived a number of orders of late and, due to the draft, the working fcrce has been greatly depleted Berlin Briefs. A new style oiler is being tried on the road today.

Arrangements . 6-4-6d the | RECEIVING ALD DRY GOODS PURCHASED OF US. already in the outskirts of Chateau- Thierry, an American machine gun unit was hurried thither in motor lor- ries. Chateau-Thierry lies on both banks of the Marne, which is spanned by a big bridge. “The Americans had scarcely reached their quarters when news was { received that the Germans had broken into the northern point of Chateau- Thierry, having made their way through the gap they had driven in | our lines to the left of the town and ! then pouring along the streets to the | bridge, intending to cstablish them- | selves firmly on the south bank and apture the town. “The American machine gunners and French Colonials were thrown in Chateau-Thierry together. The Am-, ericans immediately took -over the | defense of the river bank, especially | the approaches to, the bridge. Fight- | ing with their habitual courage and | using their guns. with an accuracy | which won the highest encomiums from the French, they brought the ! enemy to a standstill. | " “Already wavering under the Am- | erican fire, the Germans were coun- ter-attacked by the French Colonials !and driven from the town. They re- turned to the attack the next night and under cover of darkness crept linto the town along the river bank | and began to work their way through |'the streets toward the main bridge. | At the same moment a tremendous { artillery bombardment was’ opened | upon the southern half of the town. “When within range ‘of the ma- chine guns, the Germans advanced under the cover of clouds of thick white smoke from smoke bombs, in | crder to baffle the aim of the Amer ican gunner A surprise, however, was in store for them. They were already crossing the bridge, evidently believing themselves masters of both banks, when a thunderous explosion blew the center of the bridge and a number of Germans with it into the river. Those who reached the south- ern bank were immediately captured. “In this battle in the streets, and again at night, the young American | scldiers showed a courage and de- ! termination which aroused the ad- miration of their French Colonial comrades. With their machine guns they covered the withdrawal of troops across the bridee before its | destruction, and although under se- vere fire themselves, kept all the ap- | proaches to the bank under a rain o¢ bullets “which nullified all the ! subscquent efforts of the enemy { crose the river. HKvery attempt of the Germans to elude the vigilance of the Americans resulted in disaster | themselves. Against their casualties the Amer- ans can set a much greater loss irflicted by their bullets on the en- enemy. They have borne their full part in what a French staff officer weli qualified to judse descrihed as ‘one of the finest feafs of the war, 1i ’ CITY ITEMS i Nair has purchased property avenue of Mario.

Edwin H. Hills Mfg. Co. has caused the town officials considerable trouble of late. Before the United States entered the war, Mark is al- leged to have expressed his hope Ger- many would win the war, Since the United States entered the war he has Leen a little more considerate. A few weekg ago Lewis Brastow a canvasser, of the Third Liberty loan made a call at Marks' home. Brastow told him his reason for calling at his home and Marks said that he would give nothing to help Uncle S8am in any way and expressed the hope that Germany would win the war, it is alleged. Brastow notified the stae police who took it up with the federal authori- ties. The latter came to his home and told “him he was in a restricted district and that he could go nowhere except between his home on West Main street and the factory he was working in. He 1s said to have broken his restrictions and was ar- rested by the Federal authorities and ‘was given a hearing. No result of the hearing has been made public. Pigs For Sale. L. S.

A. A. McLeod, cashier of the Trust company, has consnted to be at the bank from 6 to 7:30 o'clock to ar- range for notes for all the children who wish extra time to pay for the pigs. The pigs will cost $9 plus 50c for cartage, making a total of $9.50 to be paid upon delivery of the pigs At the present time 190 children have enrolled in the army. Fresh Afr Fund.

The New Britain Herald, New Britain, Conn., Ir reply to the statement published by Scoutmaster Lackey in Mon- day night's Herald, I wish to say that although Mr. Lackey ha not re- signed his position as scoutmaster of the local troop, he has been of little service to the troop of late. In many cases partiality has been shown and scouts thrown out of the troop with- out any reason. A number of times the troop has hrought his attention to certain facts and he has not acted to the satisfaction of Troop 14. The statement by Lackey in reference to the scoutmaster doing the work while the boys have received the credit is absolutely incorrect. The fact that Scoutmaster Lackey has devoted all of hig time to the troop has not been proved in any manner. In closing, 1 wish to say that his statement for the greater part is incorrect and it i< impossible for him to prove it. DONALD FREEMA Brief Items.

Those who reached here after es- caping the triple menace of German gunfire, drowning and starvation, were unable to understand why commander of the U-boat chose to leave unmolested ten newly commis- oned lieutenants from the second United States army officers’ training camp at San Juan. ly impossible for these men to escape notice of the Hun captain, it was said, but he evidenced no more interest in them seemingly, than any other aboard.

While varying in detail, the stories narrated by the refugees accorded in all important incidents regarding the submersible’s sudden i up” through the ocean at the starboard side of the Carolina; announcement of its presence by the firing of a shell over the bow of its quarry; the leisure with which the U-boat set about to sink the vessel, and the lonely 18 hour vigil kept in the storm tossed, wind driven boats which ended in the rescue by the coasting schooner. “Sparks” Vogel Tells His Story. This was what occurred as related by Vogel—‘“Sparks” Vogel, the nick- name commonly given wireless opera- tors—who stuck to his key sending out appeals for help until ordered in- to a lifeboat by his captain “I was awakened at 5: o'clock Sunday evening, as usual for supper. The other fellow (Assitant Operator Werner) came running in while T was dressing and yelled ‘Come up here quick’. I rushed into the wire- less room and there was an S O S re- garding the schooner Isabel B. Wiley. 1 clamped the receivers to my ear and heard it myself. S O S—Isabel B. Wiley being sheled by armed German submarine—lati tude 38.07-—longitude 75.10'—that's what the sounder said. “1 told Capt. Barbour he better make quick headway, for judging by the strength of the signals the ‘sub- marine’ must be right on top of us. ‘You're right, Sparks’ the skipper said and he bawls out to change our position and we began to zlg zag and speed up. “At about 6 o'clock, I was down for supper and had just ordered my meal when 1 heard something smack alongside. I had a hunch what was going on, but I went on the deck possible. 1 hurried up to the house and sent the other up top to get our position.

Then I set my instrument for recetving. Within two minutes, Cape May station had picked us up and queried for our location. “But just then our German visitor !

When I repeated the call for help, the Huns sent over another which whizzed some distance over our top. A third went'to the rear, and the fourth and last fell short. It.seemed as though | it was designated to. I guess they in- | tended only to scare us, but I thought they were a bit careless where they shot. “By this time every one had rushed from the dining room and was trying to find shelter behind the deckhouse or below. “I listened in again and caught repeated calls from Cape May and one from the Brooklyn navy yard asking where we were. I hadn’t our bearing from above yet, but knew approxi- mately whére we were. Just when I was rigging up to give-this, Captain Barbour ordered ‘No.' Destroys Navy Code Book. “I went out of the wireless room and watched the passengers and crew going over the side In boats, then went back to the operating room and tore up a secret navy code book which the Huns might have found useful. All other papers of any im- portance that I found I tore up angd put in a silver water pitcher and threw overboard. It sank—‘spurlos versenkt,'—you might say. “Then the Captain came in, and with him I took to a hoat, everyone else had left.”” Estimates as to the length of the German craft varied. Some sald it was 200 feet long while others insisted in length. The crew df the raider was estimated at from- 26 to 40—at- tired in yellw oiflskins. The captain and his men bobbed up through the conning tower and stood waving their hats from the deck during the attack, the refugees declared. = Two, of. the submarine’s crew unfurled a German flag and held it “impudently” up for their gaze, the passengers declared. All agreed the U-boat bore no iden- tification mark or number. ' She had two guns, on stationary mountings, it was a "big oné”—at least 300 feet ' one fore and the other aft, about 6 inch caliber, they said.
