The biggest explosion ever experienced in Bruges was caused by British airmen at La Brugeoise works, May 31, 1911.

The concus-, slon was felt all over the city, and the flames lit up the aky for many miles around. It is said that the explosion wrought so much destruction of valuable machinery that work was never properly resumed in these extensive factories. This is one of the most genuinely desirable farm land offerings ever made available in California. SANITARY SPARTACANS Name of Anti-Mask League in Frisco (V. P.

C. A. Previously three subdivisions of this famous Capay Grant have been placed on the market and have been bought up by successful farmers and brought into immediate and intensive production. This, the fourth subdivision, is the smallest yet offered. Only one public announcement of the opening has been made and already a large por -tion of the total acreage available has been snapped up by farmers who knew of the wonderful crop records Capay Farms have made.

Location The land lies in the far-famed Sacramento Valley, in the very heart of one of the most highly developed agricultural, fruit and dairying sections of the state. It is surrounded on all sides by splendid country toxvns, and is only a short run from Sacramento and San Francisco. Soil The land is a rich black silt, with absolutely no gumbo, hardpan or alkali. It produces wonderful grain crops, and some of the finest fruit farms, hog and dairy ranches in California are right close by. Water Every 80 acres is supplied withits own electrically operated pumping plant which draws water from its own well.

The water supply has always been more than adequate and Capay farmers regard the system as ideal. COUPON LONDON The Germane built great tralnsheds in the water to shelter their submarines at Bruges, Belgium, from bombs dropped from the air. The sheds have concrete roofs 11 fugt thick, and are of massive proportions. From early in 1917 until the lluns were forced to abandon Bruges altogether, 4000 workmen were employed In building the great sheds for the undersea boats. Hundreds of concrete pillars, each two feet thick and 26 feet high, supported the heavy roof.

Eight of the shelters had been completed, and the ninth was being built, when the Germans decided to run along home. In the very early days of the war, the Germans clearly planned the harbors at Zeebrugge end Os-tend as permanent bases and repair stations for their submarines, the original boats being built at the Hoboken Works, near Antwerp. The first large repair works appear to have been situated at the Atelier de la Marine at Ostend, but It is probable that the docks at Bruges which are connected with Zeebrugge by a ship canal, were being developed at an early period of the war. Largely owing to offensive naval operations off the Belgian coast, assisted by aircraft, the two harbors became exceedingly unhealthy shelters for such comparatively fragile craft as submarines, and after the bombardment of May, 1916, the large floating docks at Ostend were towed round to Zeebrugge and so up to Bruges. Following up this initial victory with great vigor.

British airmen commenced. In January, 1917, an intensive bombing campaign, directed chiefly against the docks at Bruges, the lock-gates and harbor at Zeebrugge, and the Ship Canal itself, which was, of course, the only outlet by which the submarines could gain access to the sea. Seme idea of the severity of these attacks may be gained from the fact that no fewer than 6123 bombs were dropped upon Bruges docks alone, while a similarly large number were dropped upon Zeebrugge and Ostend. Apart from the Immense and continuous damage caused to the Mole, sidings, quays, railways and shipping at Zeebrugge, the lock-gates themselves a singularly difficult target to hit even from a low height were kept practically always under repair. Indeed, on several occasions, as the result of direct hits by British airmen, one of the gates had to be removed by immense floating cranes, and a spare gate fitted, the damaged gate being towed laboriously to Bruges for repair in dry dock.

Owing to the great damage which waa caused by the Germans upon their evacuation of the docks, it 1b difficult to differentiate between their deliberate work and the destructions resulting from the-terri-fic bombing from the air during the last few months of the war. Information from various sources, however, makes it dear Prisoners Given Sight of Vic torious Allies METTZ There ia one group of Prussians that knows Germany is whipped, tho reports persist that the majority do not realize it yet. Two big machines full of sleek Prussian railroad men pulled up at the public square in Chateau-Balms, near Metz, at the same time the French were making a triumphant entry into the city from the south. A rugged old poilu halted the Prussians and covered them. They demanded to pass immediately, sinca they were on their way to Nancy to turn over the Alsatian railroads to French railroad men.

The poilu ordered them to halt and reported them to his lieutenant, who in turn reported higher. Finally it reached the general In command. He made hia decision at once. Give them a place where they can see well, and make them wait until the procession has passed. It will be a good sight for Prussian eyes.

The two cars full of ETusslanswere backed in the square facing the passing warriors, who marched with victory in their movements to the time of martial French music. All the while the natives of Chateau-Salins were wild in their enthusiasm over the pollua. The Prussians watched without wincing, now and then commenting among themselves, but never to an outsider. As the old poilu put it, No one knows just what they thot, but they at least know who won the war. PriQe The land is offered at SlTTUh acre, on convenient terms.

The price includes a pumping plant installed on every 80 acres, as referred to above. Within a very at the most any industrious farmer should be able to fully pay for his land out of his crops. Act Now! The limited total acreage offered in this subdivision means that comparatively few farmers can be accommodated. The land is practically ready to go on to and farm. You can start at once to prepare for crops.

And you will enjoy the charms of a rural home in this delightful spot, where climatic conditions are all but ideal. A Convincing Letter From a Recent Purchaser Gentlemen: As I was looking for a good piece of land I made a trip to Capay just before New Years, and may say that I was more than pleased with the land shown me and bought 80 acres. I have been in California eighteen years snd have never seen a proposition that appeals to me as the Capay Farms do. I claim the soil is of the very best for general farming or deciduous fruits, and water conditions are first class. There is certainly a fine chance tor an industrious man to make good money here, especially when be can get such land as the Capay Co.

You virtually poke your head into every department of every department store. You run into the florists, the confectioners, the occulists, the leading groceries, banks, theatres, all the various places that supply the things that make this the twentieth century and life worth the living. Here is a greater choice in clothing, food, furniture, books, pictures, musical instruments, travel, entertainment, opportunities for investment, the service of public utility corporations than any monarch of old could command. It would easily take a thousand yous, traveling hard all day, to find out for yourself what the advertisements tell you in a few minutes morning or evening. They deserve your attention.

They deserve your confidence. Without them, without the progressive spirit of the merchants and manufacturers who back them, the great abundance of things you now enjoy would be a memory or something still to be realized. Without advertising the prices you would have to pay for many of the necessities you now buy for a few pennies would make a dollar look like a snow ball on the kitchen range. Read the advertisements. Read them for your own information and advantage.

Read them to encourage the advertisers who are making these better things possible for you. 15,000 AT TACOMA III. P. Leased XX'ire to Telegram) TACOMA. Jan.
