GERMAN 10
EFFECTS JOE
HER! FEARFUL
BROADSTAIRS, England, April.—
An example of what happens when a
l German squadron appears off the En
glish coast and drops a few shells in
to a sleeping community is vividly
told by Horace Morgan, one of the
> sufferers whose wife and child were
j killed by a' German destroyer fleet
upon the placid summer-resort town
of Broadstairs.
Just before midnight the destroyers
I appeared off the beach promenade.
1 They sent up a few star shells to light
i up the slumbering town, sent a broad
side or two in the general direction of
the bath houses, and were gone.
Three of the shells, going wide of
their mark, hit a workman’s cottage
back from the*beach. Morgan, a car
penter, and owner of the cottage, thus
described the tragedy that ensued in
his home.
“I was preparing for bed when I
heard a number of explosions. The
sky was lit up with star shells. I
decided to walk down towards the
waterfront and see what was going
on.
“I had my hand on the door knob
when two shells burst almost simul
taneously against the house. I went
back into the kitchen, while a cloud
of dust and plaster began to fill the
room. As I walked over to the stair
case part of the framework of the
stairs fell down into the room.
“I heard the children crying up
stairs and called to my wife. She
didn’t answer. The oldest boy, eight
years old, came tumbling down the
broken staircase asking ‘Where’s
mother?’ The whole room was now
filled with brick and rubbish. I pushed
the boy out of the door and told him
to lun over to his grandmother’s as
j fast as he could and ask for help.
“Then I ran upstairs. I caught
. hold of another bov. He didn’t seem
! injured, although he is now in the hos
i pital. I told him also to go to his
. grandmother’s. Then I found my lit
j tie girl lying half-unconscious at the
j top of the stairs, her forehead terribly
| bruised. She revived as I picked her
I
@<3X3®®®®®®®®'**?^
up and I sent her, too, to grand
! mother.
“Another girl, Doris, who has since
‘ died, got out of bed herself, but could
not reach the stairs. I called to her
i to come to me, but she cried and said:
“ ‘I can’t, daddy, I’h hurt.’
“I went in, brought her downstairs,
handing her to one of the boys who
was still lingering near the door. He
carried her to her grandmother’s.
“Then at the top of the stairs I
found my wife, half covered with
plaster and debris. She was dead. I
| raised her in my arms. She still held
j the baby, and the little one groaned
i and seemed still alive, although she,
j too, had gone. I took the baby up,
rushed out doors and handed her to
the first man I met.
“I went back to my wife, and stood
there dazed and helpless for a few
moments, until a young man came,
bringing three doctors who took me
away.
“The house was hit broadside in the
middle of the wall. There was a hole
four feet in diameter in the wall, and
*
partitions throughout the upper part
of the cottage were shattered. Where
my wife was she met the full force of
the shell. She was apparently stand
ing by the baby’s bed, about three feet
from the wall. She had just picked
up the baby out of its cradle.”

out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice as many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonish the United States by the way they have financed tin* more
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER SAVERS THAN WE. We can well learn from their example and
add more generally the splendid quality of thrift to our own undoubted spirit of patriotism. It is the privilege of this bank through its
facilities to be of practical assistance to all who are practicing thrift.
