pose of permitting me to look Into
them that I am leaving my office."

UNCLE SAM'S MARINES
GUARD HUGE WIRELESS
At Various Times There Were Re
ports of Attempts to Cripple
Tuckerton (N. J.) Plant.
Philadelphia.—When the diplomatic
break with Germany came a squad of
eight marines, acting under govern
ment orders, left the navy yard here to
protect the huge wireless station at
Tuckerton, N. J.
The receiving spire for wireless mes
sages &t Tuckerton is the largest its
the wo.id. It is almost SOO feet high
and strong enough to "kill" any mes
sage fioin a hostile source. It is in
plain sight in many parts of New Jer
sey and can be seen plainly fro:n Great
Egg Harbor bay and points along the
Jersey coast.
The station was b;:ilt and operated
by Germany until after the outbreak
of the war. Many messages were re
ceived through it from Germany and
sent from here to Germany. At the
I present time it is this country's sole
means of communicating with Ger
many. The station at Sayville, N. Y..
Is capable of receiving wireless mes
sages from Germany, but it is unable
to send them.
Government army oCccrs are in
charge of the station, which , is now
controlled by this country. At various
times there were reports of attempts
to cripple the station, and the detailing
of marines to keep watch over it was
another step in Uncle Saui's protection
program.
PALACE FOR A HORSE.
Beautiful Stall Arranged Tor an Old
Livery Animal.
Watertown, Wis.—Rock, aped twen
ty-sir years, a livery horse, will reside
in a fine three story brick parage after
May 1, the only four footed animal
about the place except the office cat
A1 Fredrich, liveryman, will change
his big establishment into a garage and
auto livery and sell all his horses ex
cept Rock.
This horse did his first livery work
twenty-four years ago. Since that day
he has not missed a meal of feed or
cost a penny for veterinary service.
He has had seven mates, all of whom
have gone the way of the livery horse,
but he still does his bit at funeral,
wedding or party.
After May 1 he will retire to a box
stall Just a little less than gold plated.
Mr. Fredrich estimates that Rock has
earned a sum that would about equal
his present Investment In building, live
stock and rolling stock.
