SICK MAN SEEKS REVENGE ON
UNCLE SAM,
PROTECTING THE BRIGANDS.
Revolutionary Press Organ Asserts,
1917 '
But Without Proof, That Miss,
Stones Capture Was Scheme ai9
of the Turkish Ruler. y,
(By Associated Press,)

New York, Oct. 23.-The Betschefha,
Poschita. a Macedonian newspaper pub
lished at Sofia. Bulgaria, declares That
the turkish troops following the 'brii
gands holding Miss Ellen NJ. Stone thei
American missionary, and her helper,
Nine. Tsilka, for ransom, have no ilten-
ton Of trying to capture the ruffians,
says a Vienna correspondent
On the contrary, the soldiers and Turk
ish officials provide the brigands with
food, it is asserted The newspaper says
that the brigands are being protected un-
der orders from the highest Turkish au-
thorities, for the reason that the sultan
is keen for revenge against the United
States for the pressure brought to bear
by America with reference to indemnities
for the Armenian massacres by the
Turks.
AS these declarations emanate from the
organ of a revolutionary party that is
making war on Turkey, and are not ac-
corpanied by any proofs. they are not
accepted as wholly without prejudice.
The Poschita says that the Bulgarian
government is doing everything in Its
power to assist the American represeE-
tatives, and has instituted strict ir>
quiry to discover the identity Of those
who made the capture of Miss Stone and
to learn if the kidnapping had another and
more important object than that OF
ransom. The impression is created that
Miss Stone will certainly be released, and
at an early date.

MARROW ESCAPE FOR CHILDREN
Little Ones Play on the Car Tracks
and Joke With Grim Death.

Hi, there, for the Lords sake, look
out cried mOtOrman on one Of the
ore cars in South Butte. this morning,
as little child, apparently nothing more
than baby. tried to jump onto the
footbOard of the car and narrowly es-
capped going under the wheels.
AS the child fed, after having brought
the car almost to STOP he sent back a
jeering laugh which made the m"torman
shake his head and shut tight his lips.
Il wish there was some way to make
these kids keep away from these cars"
said he to a friend, few minutes later.
Some day one Of them is going to get
killed, and then there will be the dick
ems to pay.
1--WE children of my own. you know.
and l sincerely hope it won't be my car
that brushes out the life Of one OF these
little chaps. or course, they do not fully
appreciate the danger they are running.
but after one Of them gets all crushed
out of shape perhaps his companions will
take warning.
ION this heavy down grade it IS pretty
hard to stop a car all of a sudden, and
I'm afraid that some day the motorman
will not be able to act quick enough
when there is a child on the track; then
there will be a sudden DEATH. coro.
nerS inquest ana possibly suit against
the company for damages.
Seems to me that parents ought to
keep their children off the street car
tracks Certain it is that the street car
men cannot do 1t. The little chaps seem
to delight in seeing how close to death
they can come, and I tell you it makes
me breathe hard a good many times
day to note the chances they run.
1.-The worst of it all is that the younger
the children are the more chances they
will run. The boys from 10 to Is years
of age manage to keep fairly well out of
danger. but the little chaps of from 4 to
manage to have the closest calls ever
heard Of
I'm going to quit my job in a short
time if the children are not kept off the
track. for I'm fast losing my nerve, and
am getting so that I dream of running
over babies. which is no good thing"

INCREASED EFFICIENCY FROM
HEAVIER PRoJECTILEs.
REPORT OF ORDINANCE CHIEF.
No Guns Now Afoat Equal in Energy
To Those Manufactured for Use
In the United States
Navy.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 23.-Increased efl1-
cheney in our big naval guns must be
looked for from the use of heavier pro-
Jectlles and the production of powder pos
sessing high ballistic qualities, rather
than from an increase in the weight and
dimensions Of the guns themselves, says
Rear Admiral Charles O'Nell chief of
the naval bureau OF ordnance. in his an
nual report.
The latest types of guns are so large
and heavy, he says, that it is inadvisable
to make an increase in either respect,
and the bureau now will confine itself
to developing weightier projects and
powder of greater energy.
The only material change in the system
Of gun construction last year was pro-
vision that guns of and above six inches
in caliber for greater safety shall have
an inner and outer tube, instead of a
solid forging. as heretofore.
Admiral O'Neil believes that the ord
nance equipment of United States naval
vessels is fully UP to the highest stand
ard maintained abroad for vessels of cor
responding age and class, and says he
knows Of no guns atioat, or soon to be
put at1oat. equal in energy to those man
ufactured for the United States navy.
Auflllrdl ~ Nell DelleVcS tndC the SUP
ject of submarine boats Is being given
undue prominence. If these boats are
shown to have any value, he says, it will
be as an adjunct to the system of coast
defense. They cannot and will not, he
continues take the place Of naval ves-
sells of regular type, or render a less
number necessary. Submarine boats, he
says, have not yet emerged from the ex-
perimental stage.
The use Of torpedoes on large vessels
have been practically discontinued, no
provision having been made for them in
the latest battleships and cruisers.
Admiral O'Neil says that the latest ar
NOR contracts are extremely advantage
eous to the government, the price be-
ing lower than that paid abroad, and the
armor being the best that can be pro-
cured.
The estimates accompanying the re-
port aggregate $10.9O2.OO0. the largest
items being for armor and armament,
$6,OoO0oO, and navy yard plans and am
munition $2,432, 900.

Haldane, NJ. p. QiberaD, in speech on
education, at Liverpool last evening
said the lack of educational spirit in
the middle classes, complained of by
Matthew Arnold a quarter of century

that those classes had suddenly found

forced to realize that courage, energy
and enterprise in these modern days
We're of little more avail against the
methods science could put up in the
hands of their commercial rivals than
was the splendid fighting of the der
wishes against the shrapnel and MaNlms
at Omdurman.
1t was not wonderful. said Mr.. Hal
dane. that England had been beaten in
the matter OF iron and steel by the
United States. but it was startling that
she had also been beaten by Germany.
Clearly England was under the neces-
shy i'll these days Of The twentieth CEN

was to hold her own. She might not be
able to continue to surpass the United
States. Nature had handicapped her in
that race. But Great Britain must MAIN

trade.
Mr.. Haldane went OH to show how
scientific training had improved the
brewing trade of Germany, which coun-
try had applied science to the practical
workings of the industrial world. The
